Aaron Evans isn't looking for mystery or romance when he moves to a quiet Seattle neighborhood and attends services at a local church. He isn't even looking for religion. He is searching for an environment that will further help his children ease the pain of their mother's sudden death two years ago. When Aaron's eight-year-old son draws a picture, in church, of Elvis Presley's ascension to heaven on a toilet seat, it attracts the attention of two very different women. Mildred Vinster, a cantankerous octogenarian, is offended. Holly Lawrence, Aaron's new neighbor is amused. Mildred's murder, a few hours later, leaves Holly heir to an old Bible. A hollowed out section of the Bible contains a bag of synthetic diamonds. The Bible also leaves clues to the location of a wealth of real gems. As Holly's relationship with Aaron turns to love, the mystery surrounding the diamonds deepens. The answer to where the diamonds came from and why Holly received them begins in prewar Nazi Germany and leads from the drug trade in Canada to the casinos of Las Vegas where finding the real diamonds turns into a game of life or death with the odds stacked against them.

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK Tired, stressed, and in need of more help from your partner? Imagine running your household (and life!) in a new way... It started with the Sh*t I Do List. Tired of being the “shefault” parent responsible for all aspects of her busy household, Eve Rodsky counted up all the unpaid, invisible work she was doing for her family—and then sent that list to her husband, asking for things to change. His response was...underwhelming. Rodsky realized that simply identifying the issue of unequal labor on the home front wasn't enough: She needed a solution to this universal problem. Her sanity, identity, career, and marriage depended on it. The result is Fair Play: a time- and anxiety-saving system that offers couples a completely new way to divvy up domestic responsibilities. Rodsky interviewed more than five hundred men and women from all walks of life to figure out what the invisible work in a family actually entails and how to get it all done efficiently. With 4 easy-to-follow rules, 100 household tasks, and a series of conversation starters for you and your partner, Fair Play helps you prioritize what's important to your family and who should take the lead on every chore, from laundry to homework to dinner. “Winning” this game means rebalancing your home life, reigniting your relationship with your significant other, and reclaiming your Unicorn Space—the time to develop the skills and passions that keep you interested and interesting. Stop drowning in to-dos and lose some of that invisible workload that's pulling you down. Are you ready to try Fair Play? Let's deal you in.

Sanger Rainsford is a big-game hunter, who finds himself washed up on an island owned by the eccentric General Zaroff. Zaroff, a big-game hunter himself, has heard of Rainsford’s abilities with a gun and organises a hunt. However, they’re not after animals – they’re after people. When he protests, Rainsford the hunter becomes Rainsford the hunted. Sharing similarities with "The Hunger Games", starring Jennifer Lawrence, this is the story that created the template for pitting man against man. Born in New York, Richard Connell (1893 – 1949) went on to become an acclaimed author, screenwriter, and journalist. He is best remembered for the gripping novel "The Most Dangerous Game" and for receiving an Oscar nomination for the screenplay "Meet John Doe".
