Book Description
From an author who “writes the kind of stuff of which nightmares are made,” three thrillers featuring Mounties battling a madman intent on world domination (The Globe and Mail, Toronto). Robert DeClercq has faced a lot of lunatics as the head of the Special X team of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. But never one as sinister as Mephisto, a megalomaniac hell-bent on global destruction. But first Mephisto is fixed on taking out DeClercq—by any means possible. Featuring the complete novels Burnt Bones, Death’s Door, and Red Snow, the Mephisto trilogy showcases the Special X team as they confront an evil greater than they have ever known. “The psycho to end all psychos. Mephisto makes Hannibal Lecter seem like an Oxford don with slightly unorthodox culinary tastes.” —The Vancouver Sun Praise for the Special X series “Michael Slade’s books are blood-chilling, spine-tingling, gut-wrenching, stomach-churning, and a much closer look at the inside of a maniac’s brain than most people would find comfortable, but always riveting.” —Diana Gabaldon, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of the Outlander series “Highly enjoyable.” —Time Out, London “Slade knows psychos inside out.” —Toronto Star “A get-under-your-skin thriller with machine-gun dialogue and impressive real-world research. It’s one heck of a ride.” —CNN.com “As always with Slade, a cracking good detective story.” —Anne Perry, New York Times–bestselling author of the Thomas Pitt series “Murder with gore galore.” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto) “Michael Slade is a writer who clearly knows how to tell a story and make it real.” —Robert McCammon, New York Times–bestselling author of Swan Song and the Matthew Corbett series

Book Description
“A harrowing tale of revenge. Hangman is a hardboiled police procedural . . . Readers come away not only entertained—and terrified—but also enlightened.” —Cemetery Dance A woman is killed on Halloween night in Seattle. Death by hanging—as cruel and vicious as it was back in the days when it was employed as a means of justice. Only there is no justice in this murder. And it isn’t the last one. Suddenly the police on both sides of the US–Canadian border are tracking a killer with a taste for the drama of the gallows. And just when the investigation zeroes in on a suspect, another corpse is discovered. The string of bizarre and brutal killings leaves a complex trail of clues—and a terror that only escalates with each killing. “Master of the Northern Giallo! There are more than a few reasons to take the stand and scream the glories of literary demon Michael Slade.” —Rue Morgue “Hangman’s escalating suspense is sustained not only by readers wondering ‘whodunit,’ but who will be the next to die. Every character is both a suspect and a potential victim.” —Quill & Quire “Murder with gore galore, and a killer who enjoys his hobby. There’s plenty of legerdemain before the trick ending.” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto) “Fascinating . . . The research on real-life hangmen is deftly larded into the fast-paced story.” —The Vancouver Sun “First-hand knowledge of the judicial system gives Slade’s thrillers their authenticity.” —North Shore News

Book Description
This thriller “weaves together historical strands, contemporary killers, and the feats of [an elite police team] in a gripping, tense, and exciting climax.” —Hellnotes A war criminal and the head of Japan’s organized crime, Genjo Tokuda wants nothing more than to avenge the murder of his family during the WWII bombing of Hiroshima. He has waited more than fifty years to enact his plan to kill the family of the surviving American airman responsible for the attack. When his prey is invited to speak at a convention for Pacific War Vets in Vancouver, he knows his opportunity for revenge has finally arrived. Corporal Jackie Hett of the Special X team of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police will do anything to protect her grandfather, a crewman of the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. It’s up to her and her fellow Mounties to put a stop to the all-powerful samurai gangster before he strikes. “A virtuoso breakout by Slade.” —Jack Whyte, bestselling author of the Camulod Chronicles “With its strong emotional resonance, Kamikaze is a passionate indictment of the lies of wartime. It’s intense, and easily capable of keeping a reader up into the wee hours.” —The Vancouver Sun “Slade is all about procedure, feeding our endless appetite for the inner workings of the police. . . . War itself comes off as the most murderous of serial killers.” —The Georgia Straight

Book Description
“As far as historical, Vatican-connected occult thrillers go, this is a fun one, with the various timelines balanced to play off each other with verve.” —Kirkus Reviews When a World War II bomber is excavated fifty years after disappearing during a secret mission, the pilot’s granddaughter, Liz Hannah, hires Wyatt Rook to investigate. A lawyer, historian, and detective, Rook is well-suited to follow a trail of clues that will take him from Germany, where he confronts the Third Reich’s dark history, to another site just outside of Jerusalem shrouded in sinister shadows: the crucifixion of Christ. What Rook uncovers is a web of religious mystery surrounding a cryptic secret that, if deciphered, could destroy the very foundation of Christianity: the question of how Jesus escaped from his tomb. Using paintings and maps as clues, Rook steps deeper into a world where his enemy is none other than a modern Crusader, the Legionary of Christ, who will stop at nothing to keep the Judas puzzle—one of the most vulnerable mysteries of the Bible—from being solved. A Fangoria Book of the Month “If you want a series of mysteries better than the puzzles in The Da Vinci Code, Crucified is your book. Slade has all the hot buttons punched.” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto) “There are twists aplenty, scenes of gruesome torture and murder (with Inquisition tools, of course), and a series of small mysteries leading up to the larger mystery at the center of the book. It leaves one wanting more.” —Quill & Quire “A walloping murder mystery that cuts throats and shows no quarter. Ambitiously dark, sophisticated, and complex. Enjoy.” —Fangoria

Book Description
Eddie Hertz is a 12-year-old genius who patrols the streets of Nirvana, hoping to foil the schemes of the evil Mephisto. Being small for his age, Eddie relies on a Batman-style gadgets belt and acrobatic skills as well as street smarts and ingenuity. Eddie has a dream, to become like Damocles, Nirvana's great superhero. To accomplish that goal, Eddie invented a device that theoretically will endow him with superpowers, but using it on himself could be dangerous, maybe even fatal, so he doesn't have the nerve to try it. When Mephisto unleashes an earthquake machine to terrorize the city, Eddie gains a surprising ally - his quirky eight-year-old sister, Samantha, who comes up with an unexpected way to help in the frantic battle to prevent the impending destruction. Working as a team, the siblings fight Mephisto in a race against time to save Nirvana and the world from devastating earthquakes, all the while receiving advice from a computerized version of Damocles, who has been rendered incapable of helping in physical form.

Book Description
One of the great World War I antiwar novels—honest, chilling, and brilliantly satirical Based on the author's experiences on the Western Front, Richard Aldington's first novel, Death of a Hero, finally joins the ranks of Penguin Classics. Our hero is George Winterbourne, who enlists in the British Expeditionary Army during the Great War and gets sent to France. After a rash of casualties leads to his promotion through the ranks, he grows increasingly cynical about the war and disillusioned by the hypocrisies of British society. Aldington's writing about Britain's ignorance of the tribulations of its soldiers is among the most biting ever published. Death of a Hero vividly evokes the morally degrading nature of combat as it rushes toward its astounding finish. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
