A chilling tale of psychological suspense and an homage to the thriller genre tailor-made for fans: the story of a bookseller who finds himself at the center of an FBI investigation because a very clever killer has started using his list of fiction’s most ingenious murders.Years ago, bookseller and mystery aficionado Malcolm Kershaw compiled a list of the genre’s most unsolvable murders, those that are almost impossible to crack—which he titled “Eight Perfect Murders”—chosen from among the best of the best including Agatha Christie’s A. B. C. Murders, Patricia Highsmith’s Strangers on a Train, Ira Levin’s Death Trap, A. A. Milne's Red House Mystery, Anthony Berkeley Cox's Malice Aforethought, James M. Cain's Double Indemnity, John D. Macdonald's The Drowner, and Donna Tartt's A Secret History.But no one is more surprised than Mal, now the owner of the Old Devils Bookshop in Boston, when an FBI agent comes knocking on his door one snowy day in February. She’s looking for information about a series of unsolved murders that look eerily similar to the killings on Mal’s old list. And the FBI agent isn’t the only one interested in this bookseller who spends almost every night at home reading. The killer is out there, watching his every move—a diabolical threat who knows way too much about Mal’s personal history, especially the secrets he’s never told anyone, even his recently deceased wife.To protect himself, Mal begins looking into possible suspects—and sees a killer in everyone around him. But Mal doesn’t count on the investigation leaving a trail of death in its wake. Suddenly, a series of shocking twists leaves more victims dead—and the noose around Mal’s neck grows so tight he might never escape.

Ilustrações coloridas dão vida a romance com elementos de horror gótico e suspense Em 1589, o padre e demonologista Peter Binsfeld fez a ligação de cada um dos pecados capitais a um demônio, supostamente responsável por invocar o mal nas pessoas.

As histórias podem ser lidas em qualquer ordem, sem prejuízo de sua compreensão, mas se relacionam de maneira complexa, de modo que ao término da leitura as narrativas convergem para uma única e surpreendente conclusão.

A Kiss Before Dying not only debuted the talent of best-selling novelist Ira Levin to rave reviews, it also set a new standard in the art of mystery and suspense. Now a modern classic, as gripping in its tautly plotted action as it is penetrating in its exploration of a criminal mind, it tells the shocking tale of a young man who will stop at nothing--not even murder--to get where he wants to go. For he has dreams; plans. He also has charm, good looks, sex appeal, intelligence. And he has a problem. Her name is Dorothy; she loves him, and she's pregnant. The solution may demand desperate measures. But, then, he looks like the kind of guy who could get away with murder. Compellingly, step by determined step, the novel follows this young man in his execution of one plan he had neither dreamed nor foreseen. Nor does he foresee how inexorably he will be enmeshed in the consequences of his own extreme deed.

Ever since the introduction of DNA testing, forensic science has been in the forefront of the public’s imagination, thanks especially to popular television shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. But forensic analysis has been practiced for thousands of years. Ancient Chinese detectives studied dead bodies for signs of foul play, and in Victorian England, officials used crime scene photography and criminal profiling to investigate the Jack the Ripper murders. In the intervening decades, forensic science has evolved to use the most cutting-edge, innovative techniques and technologies. In this book, acclaimed author Bridget Heos uses real-life cases to tell the fascinating history of modern forensic science, from the first test for arsenic poisoning to fingerprinting, firearm and blood spatter analysis, DNA evidence, and all the important milestones in between. By turns captivating and shocking, Blood, Bullets, and Bones demonstrates the essential role forensic science has played in our criminal justice system.

Delightfully BRUTAL Psychological Horror.Jumping into this novella, I wasn't sure what to expect. To be honest, I never even read the synopsis. I see the name, Stephen Graham Jones, and immediately pick books up. It's a compulsion.Night of the Mannequins follows Sawyer, and his group of childhood friends, when a prank goes horribly wrong.Disguising a discarded mall mannequin as a patron at the local movie theater seemed like the perfect way to get back at the stuffy assistant manager. The same one who happened to recently punish the friend group for sneaking into a movie unpaid.What starts off as a fairly innocent prank, however, turns more deadly than this group of teens could have ever imagined. Sawyer seems to be the only one with a plan to limit the destruction.First, let me just swoon for a bit over how much I love SGJ's writing. I promise not to rave for too long.The style is edgy AF, yet feels like Classic Horror all the same. I love the humor and witty dialogue that he is able to bring to such dark and haunting tales.Also, his books always go there, all the way to the deepest, darkest crevices of the human mind. It's weird. It's powerful. It's freakingly disturbing.With this being said, I was really into this novella, loving everything about it until about the 70% mark. Then I started feeling lost. While I understand the ending, some of the choices of events leading up to the ending didn't seem to fit. It made the ending seem a little abrupt and disjointed for me.Overall though, this novella is fantastic. You cannot deny the level of creativity it takes to write a story like this.One that leads you in one direction, flips that on its head and then smacks you in the face with a healthy dose of depressing reality.Sawyer is a very special protagonist. He's one of those characters that (view spoiler)[can do horrible, terrible things, but still you feel like you are on their side (hide spoiler)]
