Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Eighty guests. Forty metres down. No way up. Opening night at the Halcyon Deep, the world's first luxury underwater resort. A string quartet. A manta ray gliding over the glass dome. Eighty of the wealthiest people in Asia raising champagne beneath the Andaman Sea. And beneath the wine cellar, a foundation built on a lie. Engineer Maya Rao warned them. Her report described the seabed beneath pile three as structurally equivalent to wet cake. The company buried the evidence, ignored the risk, and put her signature on the safety certificate. At 9:47 p.m., the ground answers. The habitat begins sliding toward a shelf break deep enough to swallow every secret its owners tried to hide. No rescue for hours. A storm on the surface. Two escape pods for ninety-one people. Every passing minute pushes the structure closer to total collapse. Maya and dive supervisor Elias Varga must keep terrified guests alive long enough to do the boring thing that saves everyone, because the fast thing only saves whoever is fastest. When the sea finally claims the wreck, the real disaster begins, one engineered in boardrooms by people who never get wet. Book One of the Halcyon Deep Trilogy. Perfect for readers who love deep-sea survival, engineering disasters, corporate conspiracies, and relentless, high-stakes suspense.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Some patterns should never be left unfinished. Claire Hedley came to Nether Combe to rebuild a life the violin had ended for her. In the bell tower of St. Osyth's she found what she was looking for: a discipline exact enough to quiet grief, seven other people who needed her to be on time, and a village that had kept one rule for two hundred years and would not explain it. Then she found Fenwick's Silence. It is a change-ringing composition, abandoned in 1826, four rows from its end, on the morning its author climbed the tower to test one row he had written down that he was not ready to finish. He died beneath his own bells. The village has rung around the row ever since. Claire rings it by accident, on an ordinary Tuesday in November. The dead start coming back to Nether Combe in the order the mathematics forgot to call them-oldest first, 1826 first-confused, cold, and looking for houses that were pulled down a century ago. They are not angry. That is the worst of it. They are lost, and they are getting closer to the present with every week, and the churchwarden's arithmetic says six weeks before the queue reaches graves that still get flowers. To send them home, Claire has to persuade a fractured band of ringers to finish a peal no living person has heard to its end-five thousand and forty changes, one morning, no stopping once it begins. The arithmetic tells them how long it will take. It does not tell them what finishing will cost. CHANGE RINGING is a standalone folk horror novella built on the real mathematics of English church bells: no curse, no demon, no haunted object. Only an unfinished sentence, and the two hundred years a village spent being frightened of the wrong half of it. This item is printed on demand.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The building can't lie. The owner can't hide. The clock can't wait. Five years after the Halcyon Deep took seventeen souls, Cyrus Vantara opens his second masterpiece, the Halcyon Ascent, the most watched building on Earth. Every sensor public. Every threshold beyond his reach. And the one engineer who saw through him, Maya Rao, appointed by international treaty as the structure's legally independent conscience. Then the dome begins to whisper. The flaw isn't a buried memo this time. There is no villain in the room. Every signature is honest. Every certificate is real. The lie was born eleven layers down the supply chain, in a factory no audit ever reached, and it has been passing every inspection for two years inside seventeen layers of glass. When a cyclone drives the one load case nobody validated against the one panel nobody suspects, the trilogy's hard-won lessons face their ultimate test. A public dashboard. Forty million witnesses. Fifty-five lives. Twenty-two minutes. No cover-up to expose. No wreck to salvage. Only the truth arriving in real time, and one final question: Is the truth enough if it arrives before disaster strikes The Halcyon Deep Trilogy concludes. The evacuation the first book deserved. The verdict the second book promised. And a final image that reminds us why every warning matters before it's too late. A fast-paced engineering thriller blending disaster suspense, corporate accountability, and high-stakes survival, perfect for readers of realistic techno-thrillers and intelligent suspense.…

Nadia Voss is the only one awake when the numbers stop adding up: a scrubber failing too fast, a hull seam stressed on purpose, a colleague dead in a flooded corridor with a full tank of air.

The person who did this might be one of the three people she just woke up to help her survive it. What she finds isn't an accident. It's a decision, made forty-one floors above an ocean none of its architects will ever have to survive, and the only way to stop it from happening again is to make sure the whole world hears exactly what she heard.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The eyes are painted last. On the dawn of Mahalaya, when all of Kolkata wakes to give its clay goddesses their eyes, the city's most beloved idol-maker is found without his - his own lids painted shut in the long lashes of a deity, his third eye weeping vermilion, and a single number scrawled in red beside the body. Fifty-one. Detective Inspector Tilottama Sen has stood over two hundred corpses. She has never found one signed in the handwriting of the sister who vanished seventeen years ago. As Durga Puja climbs through its sacred days toward the night the goddess is carried to the river, a killer is rebuilding her shattered body across the city - choosing victims the law set free, taking from each the very piece the old myth says fell there, and counting down to a final offering. To stop him, Tilo must read a map written in scripture and blood. It leads through the rituals of her city, through a buried case no one was allowed to solve, and home - to the one truth she has spent her whole life refusing to see. A literate, pitiless serial-killer thriller steeped in the festivals, faith, and fault lines of Kolkata - for readers of dark international crime fiction.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - For eighty-nine years, six fen parishes have held the water in their drains at a level nobody will write down.The pumping station at Marrowdyke burns the fuel of a machine that shifts four cubic metres a second, and shifts barely one. Head office wants it costed. They send Alma Setchell, who grew up eleven miles away, left at eighteen, and has spent twenty years becoming very good at exactly this.It takes her four days. The pumps are perfect. The fault is a discharge gate padlocked a third open - set by hand, kept that way across two generations of keeper, re-set in secret after the last refurbishment. She writes it up in twenty-two pages with four photographs, adds a careful recommendation that somebody find out why before anybody touches it, and sends it.The Board cuts the padlock on a Friday morning. The pumps run properly for the first time since the war. The water in the Marrowdyke Level begins, at last, to go down.The fen has been sinking for three hundred years. Drained peat meets air and wastes away - a centimetre and a half a year, patiently, without malice - and everything buried in it has been sinking too. Everything except what the water was holding.Now the ground is going down past it.RODDON is a horror novel about drainage: about competence, institutions, and the particular dread of being the generation that let something go. There is no monster in it. There is a water level, a padlock, an iron post driven to the clay in 1868, and a parish that agreed to something in 1937 and then made very sure it could never be written down.Book One of a three-book series. The story continues in FREEBOARD.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - SOME WORDS ARE ONLY DANGEROUS WHEN FINISHED. The road to Thamlong washed out years ago. The rain has never really stopped. And in a dead tea planter's library at the end of the ruined road, archival linguist Ishani Deb finds a collection arranged like a held breath: a bay of five hundred books sorted by weight. A field journal defaced at exactly the same word, every time. Nineteen reels of tape recorded by a woman who walked up the mountain in 1972 and never came down. The hill people speak of a forgotten order and a chant of three syllables. The first two are never printed in this book. The third is different for everyone who hears them - it is whatever you have refused to say. Ishani has been refusing for nine years. Now the catalogue she was hired to make is starting to look like a recitation. The red threads in the forest are moving in windless rain. And something patient beneath the mountain has turned its attention, at last, to the one reader it has waited a century to meet. A psychological-occult thriller of silence, guilt, and the sentence that holds your whole life up - until the day you finish it. Atmospheric folk horror in the tradition of slow-burn literary thrillers: no gore, no jump scares - only the rain, the fog, and the thing that listens when the rain rests. Includes illustrated archive material: the map of Thamlong, the razored ledger leaf, the Tape 9 spectrogram, and the mirror-written field notebook.…
