      The Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon away from life as a San Francisco web-design drone and into the aisles of Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore, but after a few days on the job, Clay discovers that the store is more curious than either its name or its gnomic owner might suggest. The customers are few, and they never seem to buy anything; instead, they "check out" large, obscure volumes from strange corners of the store. Suspicious, Clay engineers an analysis of the clientele's behavior, seeking help from his variously talented friends, but when they bring their findings to Mr. Penumbra, they discover the bookstore's secrets extend far beyond its walls.

      L'assassin lui a donné 13 jours. 13 jours pour tenter de comprendre. 13 jours avant de plonger dans les ténèbres... À Seattle, personne n'a oublié le mystère de la Hoh River : trois gamins enlevés, cachés dans les bois. Seuls deux d'entre eux avaient réapparu, incapables de se souvenir de ce qui leur était arrivé. Vingt-cinq ans plus tard, un couple et ses deux fils sont sauvagement assassinés. Au-dessus de la porte de la chambre, le tueur a laissé un message : 13 jours. Très vite convaincue que les deux affaires sont liées, puisque le père de famille qui vient d'être assassiné était l'un des trois enfants kidnappés, la police manque pourtant de preuves. Pour sa première grande enquête, l'inspecteur Alice Madison devra se fier à son instinct. Au cœur des forêts, le cauchemar va recommencer. Dans 13 jours.

      Bestselling novelist Cullen "Cubby" Greenwich is a fortunate man, enjoying a successful career and a loving family, including his wife Penny, a children's book author, and their brilliant six-year-old son, Milo, affectionately known as "Spooky." Despite his happiness, a single negative review from the feared critic Shearman Waxx disrupts his peace. Though the review is harsh and inaccurate, Cubby resolves to ignore it, supported by Penny and even Milo. However, curiosity leads him to seek out Waxx, hoping to understand the man whose opinion holds such power. What starts as a simple encounter quickly spirals into a nightmare. Waxx proves to be far from the expected recluse, and his methods of dealing with those who challenge him are terrifying. Cubby finds himself caught in a perilous struggle against a relentless sociopath, facing threats that extend beyond his career to his very life. As the situation escalates, Cubby must confront the dark consequences of crossing paths with a man who wields criticism like a weapon, putting everything he holds dear at risk.
