A local detective moves to the suburban police force to get away from the brutal crime scene seen by him as a Philadelphia homicide detective. Shortly after his arrival, there are a series of seemingly unrelated murders in the quiet middle-class township. Unbeknownst to the detective, there is a serial murderer afoot, who is both clever and brutal in his attacks. Four murders go unsolved followed by the death of an earlier victim who survived the attack initially. As the detective believes he is closing in, he is badly injured when a truck, laying in wait for him, crashed into his car on his way home from work. A clever scheme by the detective and local law enforcement to catch the murderer in a trap backfires.

In 2020, a pandemic hit an unprepared world, resulting in the infection of millions and the deaths in the 100 thousands. In the United States, there was often misinformation and misguidance, with numerous elected officials changing their directives, as well as profiting from the coronavirus, COVID-19. This first book outlines the underlying political environment, which not only allowed the pandemic to spread, but also trampled on the rights and freedoms of United States citizens. The entire country was shut-down, citing concern for the virus, but at the same time there was a great deal of hypocrisy, while over 30 million citizens became unemployed, with little hope of finding employment. The slow response to COVID-19 also saw a larger percentage of deaths among elderly citizens and African-Americans. This first book details available information and is presented to prompt the reader to decide whether they're being served by the government or the virus is serving to "thin out the herd."

From the New York Times bestselling author of A Rush of Wings and The Maker’s Song series, a humorous, action-packed urban fantasy about a werewolf pack and an animal control officer in way over his head! Someone is picking off fortune tellers and hippies in Oregon, snatching them out of their Birkenstocks mid-stride. And when the legend himself, Hal Rupert, Animal Control Officer, gets a whiff of the mystery, he knows he’s the man to solve it. In between proudly wrangling out-of-control cats and dogs, he’s noticed a peculiar uptick in another sort of animal…werewolves. Hal infiltrates the country fair to investigate the disappearance of the flower children. But his real priority is protecting the love of his life, Desdemona Cohen, whose long purple tresses and black-glossed lips captured his heart the moment he first saw her standing behind the register at Hot Topic. Desdemona may have nicknamed Hal “Creep,” but he’s determined to win her heart. And, you know, save everyone else, too.

Jim's day started off normal. After sleeping off the night shift he meandered out to the curb in his bathrobe to get his mail. When three blood-covered lunatics screech in rage and charge across the street after him he runs for his life. Scared, sore, and confused, Jim must learn to adapt to the new reality of a world where the majority of the population has devolved into a primitive state, perpetually enraged and focused on stomping the life out of those left unchanged. Together with a small group of survivors he must carve a life out of the chaos. On the other side of the world the event has created untenable geopolitical rifts with the surviving nations. Alliances are abandoned, old feuds are acted on, and the populations face hunger and hardship. The British execute the provisions set forth in a joint operational plan they hoped would never be necessary: Ophir Ridge, designed to protect America's nuclear assets in the event of a world-wide disaster. A small military force embarks on a mission to Dayton, Ohio where what remains of the United States military tries to maintain a foothold against overwhelming odds. Meanwhile, the new lawlessness allows human monsters to flourish. Fran is a special breed of predator, a smart, sadistic and practiced serial killer now free to indulge his urges and inflict misery on those whose survived the initial wave of death. He recruits others to his cause to create an empire comprised of the subservient, the weak, and the unfortunate. As these forces collide, who will emerge the victor? Will the world recover, or will humanity fade from existence?

After a two year hiatus, Thinning the Herd ushers us once more into the twisted and masterfully crafted world of Duvall's imagination. Learn how Mother Nature becomes the unwitting accomplice to a serial killer (Flurries). Discover just how far a man will go to get what he wants, and the unforeseen consequences of such hellish desire (Full-Metal Moon). Dread taking elevators? You'll most assuredly consider taking the stairs from now on (Stuck). Or see exactly how dangerous just being yourself can be (Come as You Are). These and the other eleven macabre tales trapped between the covers of this book will reiterate to the reader that there is only one Stephen P. Duvall, and that he is most definitely back - with a vengeance. Stephen is a combat military veteran who has been writing all of his adult life, but who didn't really get serious about his craft until in his mid 50s. He has had four collections published to date. This will be his fifth offering.

In the spring of 2020, as a new and deadly virus rapidly spread across the globe, the world shut down. But a small country in Northern Europe remained open. The Swedish COVID-19 strategy has been alternately lauded and held up as a cautionary tale by international governments and journalists alike -- with all eyes on what has been dubbed 'The Swedish Experiment'. But what made Sweden take such a deviating path? In The Herd, journalist Johan Anderberg narrates the improbable story of a nation that took a startlingly different approach to fighting the greatest global pandemic in over one hundred years. First, it was no restrictions. Then, it was no face masks. While the rest of the world looked on with incredulity, condemnation, admiration, or even envy, Sweden stood alone. But The Herdis more than just a look at the evolution of the Swedish COVID-19 strategy. With ease, Anderberg guides the reader through the history of epidemiology, R0-rates, inoculation, and international organisations and strategies. He also presents a colourful cast of characters and the ticking-clock decisions they were faced with on a daily basis. Weaving past and present with effortless buoyancy, Anderberg has written an everyman's guide to everything you want to know about the pandemic that reads like a thriller.

HIS NAME IS DANTE. Dark. Talented. Beautiful. Star of the rock band Inferno. Rumored owner of the hot New Orleans nightspot Club Hell. Born of the Blood, then broken by an evil beyond imagination. HIS PAST IS A MYSTERY. F.B.I. Special Agent Heather Wallace has been tracking a sadistic serial murderer known as the Cross Country Killer, and the trail has led her to New Orleans, Club Hell, and Dante. But the dangerously attractive musician not only resists her investigation, he claims to be "nightkind": in other words, a vampire. Digging into his past for answers reveals little. A juvenile record a mile long. No social security number. No known birth date. In and out of foster homes for most of his life before being taken in by a man named Lucien DeNoir, who appears to guard mysteries of his own. HIS FUTURE IS CHAOS. What Heather does know about Dante is that something links him to the killer -- and she's pretty sure that link makes him the CCK's next target. Heather must unravel the truth about this sensual, complicated, vulnerable young man -- who, she begins to believe, may indeed be a vampire -- in order to finally bring a killer to justice. But Dante's past holds a shocking, dangerous secret, and once it is revealed not even Heather will be able to protect him from his destiny....
