THE ZERO NIGHT
After nearly dying of a gunshot wound, Jonathan Stride has been on leave from the Duluth Police for more than a year. When his partner, Maggie Bei, gets called about a suspicious abduction involving a local lawyer, she tells Stride it’s time for him to come back. Attorney Gavin Webster says he paid $100,000 in ransom money to the men who kidnapped his wife. Now they’ve disappeared with the cash, and she’s still missing. Gavin claims to be desperate to find her—but Stride discovers that the lawyer had plenty of motive to be the mastermind behind the crime. Even as Stride digs for the truth about Gavin Webster and his wife, he must also deal with a crisis in his own marriage. His wife, Serena, is struggling after the death of her abusive mother, and Stride wonders whether going back to his detective work was the right decision.

By Kenneth Johnson
A brilliant, real-life Victorian detective and master chemist—who’d become known to the public under the name Sherlock Holmes—was inspired by his friend H.G. Wells to investigate the mysteries of the future. He devised a Jules Verne–worthy method to hibernate in 1899.
When accidentally awakened and his life saved by Dr. Amy Winslow in today’s San Francisco, the egoistic, uberBritish, cocaine-addicted, sexist genius is a century out of sync, so his still-astonishing deductions are sometimes laughably or dangerously incorrect. Amy reluctantly becomes his new Watson, perilously involved in a series of bizarre murders being committed by a descendant of Holmes’s late archenemy, Professor Moriarty.
The tone is classic, suspenseful Holmes, with refreshing twists of sh-out-of-water humor plus a surprising spark of romance.
KENNETH JOHNSON, creator of iconic, Emmy Award–winning projects The Bionic Woman, The Incredible Hulk, Alien Nation and his original landmark miniseries V, the highest-rated work of science ction in television history. He received excellent reviews on his previous novels: V: The Second Generation, The Darwin Variant, and The Man of Legends—which was selected by Publishers Weekly as “One of the most anticipated new novels” and became an instant Amazon bestseller ranking Johnson number two on Amazon’s Most Popular Author list, garnering more than four thousand reviews, and selling over one hundred thousand copies in less than a year.

When England went to war against Hitler in 1939 it mobilized its entire military, but there was no place in that army for legendary magician Jasper Maskelyne. Maskelyne was determined to fight using his only weapon: he intended to apply the techniques of popular magic to the battlefield. Initially ignored by leadership, he eventually cajoled his way into the Camouflage Corps and created a new type of warfare. With his small group of artists, he designed and developed ingenious weapons, tricked the Desert Fox into believing there were tanks and battleships where there were none, concealed the Suez Canal, and even successfully “moved” Alexandria Harbor. But it required all his skills to pull off the largest and most complex magic trick in history. This is the fact-based story of the illusion that won the war in the desert.
DAVID FISHER has coauthored several New York Times bestsellers, including Gracie and All My Best Friends with George Burns and The Umpire Strikes Back with Ron Luciano. He has written on a wide variety of subjects, and his work has appeared on bestseller lists around the world.

Finding a single assassin in a city of nine million people is daunting. Finding five is a nightmare. Lower Manhattan: A sniper’s bullet ends the life of a high-profile New Yorker. Five miles uptown, a second prominent victim has his throat slashed.
And that’s only the beginning. A network of professional assassins is on the loose in New York City. Trained by the US military, they’re on their own now, with a new unit called Kappa Omega Delta. Killers On Demand. NYPD Red detectives Kylie MacDonald and Zach Jordan are called in to hunt them down, but these mercenaries are as gifted in the art of escape as they are in snuffing out lives.
It’s the biggest professional challenge the Red team has ever faced, and before it’s over, both Kylie’s and Zach’s personal lives will change. Forever.
