"Welcome on board The Beautiful Dreamer, your one-way ticket to Relaxation and Fun! Fun! Fun!" Among the hundreds of pleasure-seekers on board The Beautiful Dreamer's five-day cruise are a hard-partying singles group, a couple repairing their marriage, a famous psychic and her beleaguered assistant, and a pair of elderly sisters determined to go out with a bang. For three sun-filled days, the journey seems to deliver all that the cruise brochure promised - a one-way ticket to relaxation and fun in the sun. Until Day Four. Without warning, the ship stops dead. Electricity and cellular signals are cut off. Smoke pours out of the engine room. The passengers and crew have no way to call for help and are stranded in the Gulf of Mexico. At first, all aboard are certain that rescue teams will come looking for them soon. All they have to do is wait. As supplies run low, the toilets stop working and a virus plagues the ship. But when the body of a woman is discovered in her cabin, irritation escalates to panic. There's a murderer aboard The Beautiful Dreamer... and maybe something worse. The chilling, relentlessly suspenseful follow-up to The Three, Day Four is a heart-racing tale from Sarah Lotz, a writer Lauren Beukes hails as "a ferociously imaginative storyteller."

Was wäre, wenn alles stimmt zwischen zwei Menschen – und die Liebe trotzdem unmöglich ist? Eine fehlgeleitete E-Mail führt zwei Fremde zusammen: Bee ist Schneiderin und arbeitet Hochzeitskleider zu neuen Kreationen um. Nick ist Krimiautor (eigentlich) und Ghostwriter (um die Miete zu zahlen). Zwischen den beiden entsteht schon nach wenigen Zeilen eine Verbindung, ihre Mails werden rasch immer persönlicher. Schnell wird klar: Die beiden wollen – müssen – einander sehen. Nick setzt sich in den Zug, um Bee in London zu treffen. Bee macht sich auf den Weg zum Bahnhof. Und was dann passiert, ist so unvorhersehbar wie ... unmöglich. Eine Liebesgeschichte für unsere Zeit: Wenn das Leben zu kompliziert ist. Wenn die Welt aus den Fugen geraten ist. Und wenn wir trotzdem daran glauben, dass die Liebe alles überwinden kann.

From acclaimed thriller writer Sarah Lotz, hailed by Stephen King as "vastly entertaining," a new novel about a group of amateur detectives infiltrated by the sadistic killer whose crimes they're investigating. Reclusive bookseller Shaun Ryan has always believed that his uncle Teddy died in a car accident twenty years ago. Then he learns the truth: Teddy fled his home in Catholic, deeply conservative County Wicklow, Ireland, for New York and hasn't been heard from since. None of Shaun's relatives will reveal why they lied about his uncle's death or why they want Shaun to leave the whole affair alone. But Shaun has a burning need to find out the truth. His search is unsuccessful until he's contacted by Chris Guzman, a woman who runs a website dedicated to matching missing-persons cases with unidentified bodies. Chris and her team of cold-case obsessives suspect that Shaun is looking for the "Boy in the Dress," one victim in a series of gay men murdered by the same killer. But who are these internet fanatics really, and how do they know so much about a case that has stumped police for decades? Soon armchair sleuths and professional investigators are on a collision course with a sadistic serial killer who's gotten away with his crimes for far too long - and now they're in his sights.

Em O quarto dia, Sarah Lotz conduz o leitor por uma viagem de réveillon que tinha tudo para ser perfeita. Mas às vezes o novo ano reserva surpresas desagradáveis...“Um livro excelente. Esse cruzeiro veio direto do inferno.” — Stephen KingJaneiro de 2017. Após cinco dias desaparecido, o navio O Belo Sonhador é encontrado à deriva no golfo do México. Poderia ser só mais um caso de falha de comunicação e pane mecânica... se não fosse por um detalhe: não há uma pessoa viva sequer no cruzeiro. As autoridades acham indícios de uma epidemia de norovírus, mas apenas descobrem os corpos de duas passageiras. Para piorar, todos os registros e gravações de bordo sofreram da­nos irreparáveis.Como milhares de pessoas podem ter sumido sem deixar rastro? Teorias da conspiração se alastram, mas só há uma certeza: 2.962 passageiros e tripulantes simplesmente desapareceram no mar do Caribe.

Drei Tage im Paradies, aber am vierten bricht die Hölle los.Am vierten Tag einer Kreuzfahrt durch den Golf von Mexiko hält das betagte Schiff „Beautiful Dreamer” plötzlich und unerwartet an. Die Maschinen lassen sich nicht wieder starten, es gibt keinen Strom, keinen Funkempfang, und weder Passagiere noch Crew-Mitglieder können Rettung anfordern. Als die Situation sich verschlimmert und das Essen sich dem Ende neigt, beginnt die Besatzung unruhig zu werden. Und dann wird noch die Leiche einer jungen Frau in ihrer Kabine entdeckt, Panik bricht aus. An Bord hält sich ein Mörder auf – aber das ist noch nicht alles: Merkwürdige Dinge geschehen, und bald wünschten alle, es wäre nur ein Mörder, der unter ihnen ist.

This isn't a love story. This is Impossible. *** Nick: Failed writer. Failed husband. Dog owner. Bee: Serial dater. Dress maker. Pringles enthusiast. One day, their paths cross over a misdirected email. The connection is instant, electric. They feel like they've known each other all their lives. Nick buys a new suit, gets on a train. Bee steps away from her desk, sets off to meet him under the clock at Euston station. Think you know how the rest of the story goes? They did too . . . But this is a story with more twists than most. This is Impossible.

Four simultaneous plane crashes. Three child survivors. A religious fanatic who insists the three are harbingers of the apocalypse. What if he's right? The world is stunned when four commuter planes crash within hours of each other on different continents. Facing global panic, officials are under pressure to find the causes. With terrorist attacks and environmental factors ruled out, there doesn't appear to be a correlation between the crashes, except that in three of the four air disasters a child survivor is found in the wreckage. Dubbed 'The Three' by the international press, the children all exhibit disturbing behavioural problems, presumably caused by the horror they lived through and the unrelenting press attention. This attention becomes more than just intrusive when a rapture cult led by a charismatic evangelical minister insists that the survivors are three of the four harbingers of the apocalypse. The Three are forced to go into hiding, but as the children's behaviour becomes increasingly disturbing, even their guardians begin to question their miraculous survival.

Adrenaline junkie Simon Newman sneaks onto private land to explore a dangerous cave in Wales with a strange man he's met online. But Simon gets more than he bargained for when the expedition goes horribly wrong. Simon emerges, the only survivor, after a rainstorm trap the two in the cave. Simon thinks he's had a lucky escape. But his video of his near-death experience has just gone viral. Suddenly Simon finds himself more famous than he could ever have imagined. Now he's faced with an impossible task: he's got to defy death once again, and film the entire thing. The whole world will be watching. There's only on place on earth for him to pit himself against the elements: Mt Everest, the tallest mountain in the world. But Everest is also one of the deadliest spots on the planet. Two hundred and eighty people have died trying to reach its peak. And Simon's luck is about to run out.

Quatre avions de quatre compagnies différentes s'écrasent simultanément sur quatre continents (Asie, Amérique, Afrique, Europe). Difficile de croire à une coïncidence, surtout lorsqu’un seul survivant, un enfant, indemne, est retrouvé sur trois des sites. La presse s'empare de ces survivants, qui deviennent le centre de toutes les attentions. Tandis que les enquêteurs subissent une pression politique et médiatique terrible pour faire la lumière sur ces événements, une journaliste décide de mener l'enquête sur les accidents et ses rescapés. À travers des témoignages des enquêteurs, des familles des victimes, ou d'anonymes, elle reconstitue avec minutie le déroulement des faits. Déjà, des groupes religieux fanatiques présentent les enfants comme les cavaliers de l'apocalypse, et cherchent par tous les moyens à mettre la main sur un quatrième survivant, celui du crash africain. Parallèlement, les familles de victimes qui ont recueilli les enfants sont confrontées à des événements étranges… Qui sont ces enfants? Que cache leur miraculeuse survie?
