THRILLERS & HORROR
MOTHMAN: ORIGINS
When Susquehanna Coal reopens the long-abandoned Derby Springs Mine in rural West Virginia, the crew breaks through into a cavern that should not exist. Inside are dozens of dark, leathery casings arranged along the walls, each one containing something alive. Within hours, two men are dead, a eight-foot winged creature is loose in the hills of Raleigh County, and Sheriff Harry McGill is standing at the center of a crisis that no amount of training prepared him for. As the body count rises and the casings begin to hatch, Harry and folklore researcher Ellen Masterson uncover a corporate cover-up stretching back to 1966, a secret connection to the Mothman legend of Point Pleasant, and a biological truth far more dangerous than any myth.
But the greatest threat may not be the creatures themselves. Every time frightened humans reach for a gun, the situation gets worse. Every time they back away, the violence stops. Now Harry must convince a terrified community, a desperate coal company, and the full weight of the federal government that the answer is not extermination but something far harder to accept: leaving the monsters alone. Because deep beneath the mountains of Appalachia, a mother has been guarding her young for sixty years. And she will not stop.

THE JANUS GAMBIT
AN INTERNATIONAL ESPIONAGE THRILLER
When CIA operative Mia Calloway discovers classified American intelligence hidden inside a European technology company, what should have been a routine undercover assignment becomes the beginning of a deadly international conspiracy. Her investigation leads from the financial centers of Europe to the high-tech world of Singapore, where a shadowy network of powerful criminals will stop at nothing to protect its secrets. Meanwhile, alarming intelligence suggests terrorists are preparing to detonate a radioactive dirty bomb at a major sporting event in Washington, D.C. With tens of thousands of lives potentially at risk, the CIA and FBI race to identify the perpetrators before time runs out.
But Mia is beginning to suspect that something doesn't add up. As intelligence sources disappear, witnesses are murdered, and her own life becomes a target, she uncovers troubling inconsistencies that suggest the apparent terrorist plot may be concealing something far more sinister. Armed with extraordinary technical skills, sharp instincts, and a stubborn determination to follow the truth wherever it leads, Mia must unravel a conspiracy whose consequences could reach far beyond Washington. Because if she's wrong, thousands could die. And if she's right, the real catastrophe may already be underway.
