From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes a new novella collection, including a brand new, never-been-published story.

Lieutenant Eve Dallas returns in Dark in Death, by J.D. Robb, the #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense, and takes on a case of death imitating art...It was a stab in the dark.On a chilly February night, during a screening of Psycho in midtown, someone sunk an ice pick into the back of Chanel Rylan's neck, then disappeared quietly into the crowds of drunks and tourists in Times Square. To Chanel's best friend, who had just slipped out of the theater for a moment to take a call, it felt as unreal as the ancient black-and-white movie up on the screen. But Chanel's blood ran red, and her death was anything but fictional.Then, as Eve Dallas puzzles over a homicide that seems carefully planned and yet oddly personal, she receives a tip from an unexpected source: an author of police thrillers who recognizes the crime-from the pages of her own book. Dallas doesn't think it's coincidence, since a recent strangulation of a sex worker resembles a scene from her writing as well. Cops look for patterns of behavior: similar weapons, similar MOs. But this killer seems to find inspiration in someone else's imagination, and if the theory holds, this may be only the second of a long-running series.The good news is that Eve and her billionaire husband Roarke have an excuse to curl up in front of the fireplace with their cat, Galahad, reading mystery stories for research. The bad news is that time is running out before the next victim plays an unwitting role in a murderer's deranged private drama-and only Eve can put a stop to a creative impulse gone horribly, destructively wrong.From the author of Echoes in Death, this is the latest of the edgy, phenomenally popular police procedurals that Publishers Weekly calls "e;inventive, entertaining, and clever."e;

Kvarteret omkring det sociale boligbyggeri "Nørrevængets Have" hvor hun og hendes ægtemand gennem 35 år bor i en dejlig lejlighed, hører så afgjort til i den pæne ende af forstaden, hvor den slags ikke sker … Da endnu en pige, den syvårige Cecilie, der oven i købet bor i selvsamme bebyggelse, en eftermiddag ikke kommer hjem fra skole som aftalt med hendes mor, hvirvles der endnu engang op i Elises rolige og bekvemme tilværelse. Hendes forudsigelige hverdag sættes på den anden ende. Politikommissær Henning Winther, der trods mange år i tjenesten stadig er både fagligt og følelsesmæssigt påvirket af sagen fra i fjor, arbejder sammen med sine kolleger hårdt for at finde Cecilie.

The third in the late Philip Kerr''s universally acclaimed Berlin Noir trilogy, A German Requiem sees detective Bernie Gunther enter the new and terrifying world of post-war Vienna. In the bitter winter of 1947 the Russian Zone is closing ever more tightly around Berlin. So when an enigmatic Russian colonel asks Bernie Gunther to go to Vienna, where his ex-Kripo colleague Emil Becker faces a murder charge, Bernie doesn''t hesitate for long. Despite Becker''s unsavoury past, Gunther is convinced that shooting an American Nazi-hunter is one crime he didn''t commit. But Vienna is not the peaceful haven Bernie expects it to be. Communism is the new enemy, and with the Nuremberg trials over, some strange alliances are being forged against the Red Menace - alignments that make many wartime atrocities look lily-white by comparison. Vividly evoking the atmosphere of postwar Vienna, A Germen Requiem brings all Philip Kerr''s pace and mordant wit to the tangle of guilt, suspicion, and double-dealing that laid the foundations for the Cold War.
