Book Description
You have to play his game. Participation is involuntary. The only choice you have is the one he chose for you. Few need to die so the city can be reborn. Eight days, eight dead. All high-profile victims (News Anchor, Priest, Terrorist, NYPD chief, Mayor, Lawyer, Rapper, Actor) are murdered on camera after failing in the twisted games of the masked killer. Each victim played a game designed by the masked killer based on the victim’s history of wrongdoings. In this gripping tale, the vigilante boldly confronts the corrupt heart of society, dismantling it with relentless determination. Armed with technology and masked anonymity, he targets wealthy elites and politicians, sparking a frantic pursuit by NYPD detectives. Rich live in fear in their mansions, and the poor rejoice in the street because they were not the targets the first time. The masked killer is in pursuit of making the powerful feel helpless. He is snatching power from a few and distributing it among many. In the ages-long tussle of Few vs. Many, the killer has chosen the side of many. He kills few to save many. The common man sees him as a leveler and the high-class society as a killer. One man’s killer is another man’s savior. This is how much the society is divided. The common man’s rage and frustration are embodied in the masked killer. This is the killer they wished for. Detective Rick of NYPD, a force of law, won’t have his city drowning in the anarchy. He is determined to capture the killer. Killer also sees Rick as the right adversary and challenges him to capture him. As the cat-and-mouse game unfolds, New York City descends into chaos, revealing the high stakes of justice versus power. This time, in the Cat-and-Mouse Game, the Police are the mouse, and the killer is the cat.

Book Description
**An INSTANT Indie Bestseller!** "A nervy, intense, and expertly crafted thriller that kept me hooked page after page. Dark secrets? Summer camp setting? Complex teen girls? Murder? Count me in. A simply stunning book." —Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces, You'd Be Home Now, and The Agathas From New York Times bestselling author Jessica Goodman comes a twisty new thriller about three best friends, one elite summer camp, and the dark secrets that lead to a body in the lake. Camp Alpine Lake is the only place where Goldie Easton feels safe. She’s always had a special connection to the place, even before she was old enough to attend. The camp is the lifeline of Roxwood, the small town she lives in. Alpine Lake provides jobs, money and prestige to the region. Few Roxwood locals, though, get to reap the rewards of living so close to the glam summer that camp, with its five-figure tuition and rich kids who have been dumped there for eight weeks by their powerful parents. Goldie's one of them. Even with her "townie" background, Goldie has never felt more at home at camp and now she’s back as a counselor, desperate for summer to start and her best friends, Ava and Imogen, to arrive. Because Goldie has a terrible dark secret she’s been keeping and she is more in need of the comfort than ever. But Goldie’s not the only person at camp who has been lying. When a teen turns up dead in the lake late one night, she knows that the death couldn’t have been an accident. She also knows that Ava was at the lake that same night. What did Ava see and what does she know? Why hasn’t she said anything to Goldie about the death? Worse—what did Ava do? But asking questions offers no answers, only broken bonds of lifelong friendship, with hidden danger and betrayals deeper than Goldie ever imagined.

I Wished
Author: Dennis Cooper
Publisher: Soho Press
ISBN: 1641293055
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
“I started writing books about and for my friend George Miles because whenever I would speak about him honestly like I am doing now I felt a complicated agony beneath my words that talking openly can’t handle.” For most of his life, Dennis Cooper believed the person he had loved the most and would always love above all others was George Miles. In his first novel in ten years, Dennis Cooper writes about George Miles, love, loss, addiction, suicide, and how fiction can capture these things, and how it fails to capture them. Candid and powerful, I Wished is a radical work of shifting forms. It includes appearances by Santa Claus, land artist James Turrell, sentient prairie dogs, John Wayne Gacy, Nick Drake, and George, the muse for Cooper’s acclaimed novels Closer, Frisk, Try, Guide, and Period, collectively known as “The George Miles Cycle.” In revisiting the inspiration for the Cycle, Dennis has written a masterwork: the most raw, personal, and haunted book of his career.
