Mr. Miller is watching you
Michael Bellicher is working for a successful consultancy agency and has everything going for him. During a night spent at work, he witnesses something he should never have seen. Attempting to flee the tightening stranglehold of the conspirators, Michael finds himself tailed by the mysterious Mr. Miller, who seems to know almost everything about him. Den Tex, in his exhilarating fast-paced style, creates a scarily timely universe ruled by espionage-like computer techniques―full of managers, mergers, and opaque negotiations―and with that a new genre: the corporate thriller.
The Mary Smokes Boys

The Mary Smokes Boys is heart-rending and unforgettable, a suspenseful story of horse thieves and broken promises, of love and tragedy, of the fragility and grace of small town life and how one fateful moment can forever alter the course of our lives.

Endgame
A modern retelling of the classic Agatha Christie tale of suspense and murder, And Then There Were None . When Harvey Keill, ex-manager of the Ladykillers, arranges a reunion for his notorious punk band on a remote island off the coast of Seattle, it seems as though the group’s glory days are about to return. One by one, the band members and their guests arrive.

No matter – a party’s a party, right? Wrong. Once everyone has gathered, a dark secret emerges from the past to haunt them and, one by one, the guests begin to fall prey to a mysterious fate.
Clear My Name
Consistently praised for her incisive depictions of domestic family life with a twist of suspense, Paula Daly is one of Grove’s most promising suspense writers and her audience continues to grow as readers discover her backlist through ebook and marketing promotions. A gripping hybrid of domestic suspense and thriller, Clear My Name is easily one of Paula’s best books and confirms that her talent for writing surprising and engrossing crime fiction extends far beyond the family unit. For readers of Fiona Barton, Jill Mansell, Laura Lippman, Julia Spencer-Fleming, Lisa Scottoline, and Liane Moriarty. Tess is a terrific character I hated to say goodbye to at the end of the novel—like Gillian Anderson’s Stella Gibson in The Fall and Val McDermid’s Carol Jordan, she’s unsentimental, as tough as the boys, and has made her name in a very male world through sheer excellence; seeing her personal history unspool and learning how she got that way is a significant draw to the novel too. Her hard-boiled attitude is a perfect fit for fans of Kristen Lepionka’s Roxane Weary. ITV studios in the UK is filming a six-part series this fall based on Paula's previous novels Just What Kind of Mother Are You? and The Mistake I Made. Keep Your Friends Close was a finalist for the CWA Gold Dagger Award for Best Crime Novel of the Year. Just What Kind of Mother Are You? was a finalist for the Strand Magazine Critics Award for Best First Novel, named a Top Ten Fall Thriller by Publishers Weekly , a Library Journal top debut, and one of O Magazine ’s “Five Page-Turners That Will Surprise You More Than Once.” Daly’s novels have been internationally published in over thirteen languages.
Pursuit
As a child, Abby had the same recurring nightmare night after night, in which she wandered through a field ridden with human skulls and bones. Now an adult, Abby thinks she’s outgrown her demons, until, the evening before her wedding, the terrible dream returns and forces her to confront the dark secrets from her past she has kept from her new husband, Willem. The following day—less than 24 hours after exchanging vows—Abby steps out into traffic. As his wife lies in her hospital bed, sleeping in fits and starts, Willem tries to determine whether this was an absentminded accident or a premeditated plunge, and he quickly discovers a mysterious set of clues about what his wife might be hiding. Why, for example is there a rash-like red mark circling her wrist? What does she dream about that causes her to wake from the sound of her own screams? Slowly, Abby begins to open up to her husband, revealing to him what she has never shared with anyone before—the story of a terrified mother; a jealous, drug addled father; and a daughter’s terrifying captivity. With a suspenseful, alternating narrative that travels between the present and Abby's tortured childhood, The Pursuit is a meticulously crafted, deeply disquieting tale that showcases Oates’s masterful storytelling.
