Meet Will Rhodes: travel writer, recently married, barely solvent, his idealism rapidly giving way to disillusionment and the worry that he’s living the wrong life.

Soon Will’s bad choices—and dark secrets—take him across Europe, from a chateau in Bordeaux to a midnight raid on a Paris mansion, from a dive bar in Dublin to a mega-yacht in the Mediterranean and an isolated cabin perched on the rugged cliffs of Iceland.

Book Description
From the New York Times–bestselling author: “A powerful, obsessive novel of murder and madness” traveling cross-country (The New York Times). Miami detective Mercedes Barren, recovering from a traumatic shooting, has transferred to the relative quiet of the forensics department to get her life back on track. Yet this peace is put on hold when she gets a wrenching phone call: Her niece, Susan, has become the latest victim of a fiendish serial killer. When a local man is apprehended, Mercedes is convinced he’s guilty of all the murders—except for Susan’s. She has reason to believe her niece’s killer is a copycat now heading across America, mapping out his next deadly moves. To track him down, Mercedes enlists the help of his brother, Martin, a psychiatrist specializing in sex offenders. Now, they’re following a trail of victims on a terrifying road trip where the lines between predator and prey begin to blur as they accelerate toward a “genuinely shattering climax . . . of devastating horror and suspense” (The Washington Times). “Daring and admirable . . . compulsive reading.” —Chicago Tribune “[This] scary book seizes your interest rather than asks for it.” —The Daily Record (Baltimore) “Nail-biting suspense.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer

Book Description
'And O, Angelica, what has become of you, this present Sunday morning when I can't attend to the sermon; and, more difficult question than that, what has become of Me as I was when I sat by your side?' At the height of his career, around the time he was working on Great Expectations and Our Mutual Friend, Charles Dickens wrote a series of sketches, mostly set in London, which he collected as The Uncommercial Traveller. In the persona of 'the Uncommercial', Dickens wanders the city streets and brings London, its inhabitants, commerce and entertainment vividly to life. Sometimes autobiographical, as childhood experiences are interwoven with adult memories, the sketches include visits to the Paris Morgue, the Liverpool docks, a workhouse, a school for poor children, and the theatre. They also describe the perils of travel, including seasickness, shipwreck, the coming of the railways, and the wretchedness of dining in English hotels and restaurants. The work is quintessential Dickens, with each piece showcasing his imaginative writing style, his keen observational powers, and his characteristic wit. In this edition Daniel Tyler explores Dickens's fascination with the city and the book's connections with concerns evident in his fiction: social injustice, human mortality, a fascination with death and the passing of time. Often funny, sometimes indignant, always exuberant, The Uncommercial Traveller is a revelatory encounter with Dickens, and the Victorian city he knew so well.
