It stood empty until a few weeks ago, when a new family moved in ... the perfect clients for Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield's baby-sitting service.

But little by little, their dream job is turning into a nightmare. Andrew Riccoli dreams that someone tried to set fire to his room-and wakes up in a cloud of smoke. Then Gretchen Riccoli dreams she's falling-and wakes up at the bottom of the mansion's dark, winding staircase. The babysitters are getting scared ... too scared to close their eyes in the Riccoli mansion.

Beast Meridian
by Vanessa VillarrealBEAST MERIDIAN narrates the first- generation Mexican American girl, tracking the experiences of cultural displacement, the inheritance of generational trauma, sexist and racist violence, sexual assault, economic struggle, and institutional racism and sexism that disproportionately punishes brown girls in crisis. <p><p> Narrated by a speaker in mourning marked as an at- risk juvenile, psychologically troubled, an offender, expelled and sent to alternative school for adolescents with behavioral issues, and eventually, a psychiatric hospital, it survives the school to prison pipeline, the immigrant working class condition, grueling low- pay service jobs, conservative classism against Latinxs in Texas, queerness, assimilation, and life wrapped up in frivolous citations, fines, and penalties. The traumatic catalyst for the long line of trouble begins with the death of a beloved young grandmother from preventable cervical cancer—another violence of systemic racism and sexism that prevents regular reproductive and sexual health care to poor immigrant communities—and the subsequent deaths of other immigrant family members who are mourned in the dissociative states amidst the depressive trauma that opens the book. <p> The dissociative states that mark the middle—a surreal kind of shadowland where the narrator encounters her animal self and ancestors imagined as animals faces brutal surreal challenges on the way back to life beyond trauma—is a kind of mictlan, reimagined as a state of constant mourning that challenges American notions of "healing" from trauma, and rather acknowledges sadness, mourning, and memory as a necessary state of constant awareness to forge a "way back" toward a broader healing of earth, time, body, history.

Detective Sergeant 'Donkey' Donkin has a vested interest in both the Tiernans and Innes, and he'd sacrifice his career to see them all behind bars. After all, he has a score to settle. . . And he's not the only one. PRAISE FOR RAY BANKS'S CAL INNES NOVELS Ray Banks writes with harshness, humour and elegance, and his punchy dialogue teems with vigorous authenticity. ? The Times Tough and assured . . . Banks is updating the noir novel with an utterly original sensibility. - Publisher's Weekly Bleakly, desperately funny, Ray Banks offers us a glimpse of what Samuel Beckett might have read like had he turned his hand to crime fiction. - Crime Always Pays Ray BanksOCOs writing is a dark delight, and 'Saturday's Child' is like blunt surgery from a cricket bat. Fast, hard, packed with madcap violence and twisted humor, itOCOs a bone-jarring ride through EnglandOCOs bleak underbelly. - Patrick Quinlan, author of Smoked 'Saturday's Child' is a knock-out, written with the kind of energy and passion that far too few writers can muster. Fresh and fierce, it raises the bar for hardboiled fiction on both sides of the Atlantic. - New York Times Bestseller Laura Lippman, author of What The Dead Know 'Saturday's Child' is fascinating, fresh and darkly funny. It will be an exotic entertainment for American readers of hard-boiled detective fiction. - Thomas Perry, author of Nightlife Banks wields language with a knifefighter's precision, with much the same result. From the first words to the last, this book flashes brilliantly. - Don Winslow, The Power Of The Dog and The Winter of Frankie Machine. Banks is part of the post-Rankin generation for whom hardboiled is not just a state of mind but a reality. Tough-guy colloquial prose and a pace fast enough to skin a rabbit, at the service of a tale of down-and-dirty realism: this is fiery stuff. - Maxim Jakubowski, The Guardian The writing's so urgent, so brutal, and just so obscenely real that it creates a whole new kind of 'dark' for a genre that's become a trifle stagnated in recent years. Hence this is a book anyone who's fallen out of love with the genre in these recent times, where the old quality has been severely lacking, simply needs to read. - Chris Pickering, Bookmunch . . . terrific, brooding and chilling prose -Tom Adair, The Scotsman . . . a fine example of energetic, visceral and compelling storytelling. . . This is properly thrilling stuff. - The Big Issue In Scotland"

Though he pulled her from the river, saving her life, Elspeth has been warned to keep her distance from her father's hired warrior.
