Dive bar at the end of the road : a novel /

Armstrong, Kelley,


"Final Destination meets The Cabin at the End of the World in this supernatural horror from New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong, in which a series of car accidents traps a group of strangers at a dive bar. A forested road at night, slick from the pounding rain and eerily illuminated by flashes of lightning. Just before midnight, a car swerves to avoid something-or someone-mysteriously standing in the road, only to slam into a fallen tree instead. In the pitch black, four more cars follow in a pileup no one can seem to avoid. Stumbling out of the wreckage, soaked from the rain and nursing various injuries, five strangers find themselves in a backwoods dive bar, waiting for daybreak and hoping for cell service. But as tensions rise and the storm rages on outside, the occupants of the dive bar start to notice that not everything is as it seems. Time is moving differently, and they quickly learn that going outside-whether to assist another accident victim or to hike for help-is a very bad idea. There's something in the woods, something that isn't natural. Could the figure in the road have been a warning? Or something more sinister? None of this is normal, and they'll need to work together to figure out what's happening if they have any hope of surviving the night"-- Provided by publisher.

Taylor, Brad, 1965-,


"While on a routine security assessment in India, Taskforce operator Pike Logan foils an attempted attack on a meeting between the CIA and India's intelligence service. Both government agencies believe it's nothing more than a minor terrorist attack, but Pike suspects that something much more sinister is at play. After another terrorist operation at the Taj Mahal, he begins to believe that outside powers are attacking India in the gray zone between peace and war, leveraging terrorist groups for nothing more than economic gain. But the separatists conducting the operations have their own agenda.

What follows is a race against the clock that winds through the bustling markets of Old Delhi, the luxurious resorts of Goa, and the epic halls of the Taj Mahal. It will take everything that Logan and the taskforce have to foil an intricate plot that leaves countless lives in the balance"--Front jacket flap. .

Peck & Peck : a novel /

Garmus, Bonnie.


"Batter Gray is worried about his future. Even when he was eleven, his classmates seemed to have settled on a goal: doctor, lawyer, broker, engineer. Good jobs that automatically command respect, security, 401Ks. Now Batter is in his early twenties, living in New York City, and he wants something different; something that alienates some readers and bores most. Poetry. And yet--to him and exactly thirty-nine editors at a company called Peck & Peck--poetry not only represents the power of humanity but holds the key to its survival. Batter is named after his mother's heroic dog. An identical twin who lost his brother at birth, he finds himself confronted by the everyday dualities that make up life: right vs. wrong, truth vs. lies, rejection vs. acceptance. It's almost as if his dead brother is a reminder: there are always two sides to every story. No, wait. Make that three."--Publisher.

The small ones : a novel /

Hozar, Nazanine.


2026 Giller Prize Nominee "From the author of Aria comes a gripping, timely new novel set in war-torn Iran, about three children who are conscripted to fight and whose only hope for survival comes through unbreakable bonds of friendship. In The Small Ones, Nazanine Hozar takes an astonishing leap as a novelist, crafting a tightly structured, atmospheric and gorgeously written fable about three young boys, Clay, Amir and Mehdi, and a girl, Layla, who are caught up in a militia-led insurgence along the Iran-Iraq border and forced to become child soldiers. They create a little family of their own even as they yearn to escape and return to their lost homes and some kind of safety. Where Aria was a story about mothers and daughters, The Small Ones is about fathers and sons--in particular, unreliable father-figures in the wartime Iran of Hozar's telling, powerful men whose personal violence leads to pain and bloodshed in the world. It is also a tale about surviving such wars, although not without sacrifice. The story centres on two of the boys, narrator Amir and his best friend Clay, tracing a journey where one of the pair eventually finds escape and freedom, but only at a terrible cost to the other. An extraordinary anti-war, anti-violence novel that takes us unflinchingly into the heart of deadly conflict through the eyes of its youngest participants, The Small Ones is a searing look at cycles of terror, and the cost of ending them for dreams of a better life."--Provided by publisher.

"Breakneck Island: Nestled precariously off the coast of Maple Bay, the lighthouse atop this rocky outcrop is all that stands between safe passage and nautical disaster. For generations, the MacLeary family lived on Breakneck Island in an isolated and physically demanding existence. One night in 1932, after a ruthless storm battered all of Maple Bay, the MacLearys disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only whispers of a missing fortune. Nearly a century later, three people are drawn to Breakneck Island and its perplexing past: Peter Barnett, a recent Maple Bay transplant who's piecing his life back together and possibly catching feelings for a charming professor; Dandy Feltzen, a perceptive teenage girl searching for new beginnings while juggling the arrival of an unexpected visitor; and Cass Jones, a successful author given a cryptic tip for a haunting new story. As Peter, Dandy, and Cass are drawn into the orbit of one of Maple Bay's darkest mysteries, the real story of the MacLearys finally comes into focus. But if the island is to reveal its oldest secrets, it may demand fresh bodies in return"--Provided by publisher.
