      Вісім годин. Шестеро друзів. П’ятеро виживуть. Дорожня подорож перетворюється на смертельну в цій захоплюючій підлітковій трилерній історії. Ред Кенні вирушає в подорож на весняні канікули з п’ятьма друзями: її найкраща подруга - старший брат - його ідеальна дівчина - таємне захоплення - однокласник - і вбивця. Коли їхній фургон ламається посеред нікуди без зв’язку, вони швидко усвідомлюють, що це не випадковість. Вони потрапили в пастку до когось у темряві, хто явно хоче, щоб один з них загинув. За вісім годин до світанку шестеро друзів повинні втекти або з’ясувати, хто з них є мішенню. Але чи є серед них брехун? Приховані таємниці будуть змушені спливти на поверхню, а напруга всередині фургона досягне смертельних рівнів. Не всі з них переживуть ніч...

      Gideon the Ninth is the most fun you'll ever have with a skeleton. The Emperor needs necromancers. The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman. Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead bullshit. Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap off the page, as skillfully animated as necromantic skeletons. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won’t set her free without a service. Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will be become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. Without Gideon’s sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die. Of course, some things are better left dead.

      Knives Out and Clue meet Agatha Christie and The Thursday Murder Club in this "utterly original" (Jane Harper), "not to be missed" (Karin Slaughter), fiendishly clever blend of classic and modern murder mystery. Everyone in my family has killed someone. Some of us, the high achievers, have killed more than once. I'm not trying to be dramatic, but it is the truth. Some of us are good, others are bad, and some just unfortunate. I'm Ernest Cunningham. Call me Ern or Ernie. I wish I'd killed whoever decided our family reunion should be at a ski resort, but it's a little more complicated than that. Have I killed someone? Yes. I have. Who was it? Let's get started. EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS KILLED SOMEONE My brother My stepsister My wife My father My mother My sister-in-law My uncle My stepfather My aunt Me
