Book excerpt: In this book, you will find stories of suspense, intrigue, and danger that will take you on a journey through the darkest recesses of the human psyche. From the streets of a bustling metropolis to the desolate wastelands of a post-apocalyptic world, these tales will transport you to places that you never thought possible. I have also tried to explore the theme of moral ambiguity in these stories. In a world where the line between right and wrong is often blurred, the characters in these stories must grapple with difficult ethical dilemmas, struggling to determine the right course of action in a world that can be morally ambiguous. Finally, I would like to thank all of the readers who have supported me on this journey. Writing can be a lonely and challenging endeavor, but it is the feedback and encouragement of readers that makes it all worthwhile. Without you, these stories would simply be words on a page, devoid of the passion and emotion that make them truly come alive. So I invite you now to sit back, buckle up, and prepare to be taken on a thrilling ride through the pages of this book. I hope that you will find these stories to be as exciting and engaging as I found them to be when I wrote them. And most of all, I hope that they will leave you with a sense of wonder and amazement, reminding you of the power of the written word to transport us to new worlds and explore the depths of the human experience. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I hope that you enjoy these stories as much as I enjoyed writing them.

But worst of all, Spencer Grant is on a collision course with inner demons he thought he’d buried years ago—inner demons that could destroy him if his enemies don’t first.

Book excerpt: The moving and suspenseful new novel that Ann Patchett calls "smart and thrilling and impossible to put down... the book that every reader longs for." “This summer’s undoubtable smash hit… an addictive, heart-palpitating story.” —Marie Claire The sun is shining, the sea is blue, the children have disappeared. When Liv and Nora decide to take their husbands and children on a holiday cruise, everyone is thrilled. The adults are lulled by the ship’s comfort and ease. The four children—ages six to eleven—love the nonstop buffet and their newfound independence. But when they all go ashore for an adventure in Central America, a series of minor misfortunes and miscalculations leads the families farther from the safety of the ship. One minute the children are there, and the next they’re gone. The disintegration of the world the families knew—told from the perspectives of both the adults and the children—is both riveting and revealing. The parents, accustomed to security and control, turn on each other and blame themselves, while the seemingly helpless children discover resources they never knew they possessed. Do Not Become Alarmed is a story about the protective force of innocence and the limits of parental power, and an insightful look at privileged illusions of safety. Celebrated for her spare and moving fiction, Maile Meloy has written a gripping novel about how quickly what we count on can fall away, and the way a crisis shifts our perceptions of what matters most.
