Titles In This Set: Mr Mercedes Finders Keepers End of Watch Description: Mr Mercedes A cat-and-mouse suspense thriller featuring Bill Hodges, a retired cop who is tormented by 'the Mercedes massacre', a case he never solved. Brady Hartsfield, perpetrator of that notorious crime, has sent Hodges a taunting letter. Now he's preparing to kill again. Each starts to close in on the other in a mega-stakes race against time. Finders Keepers 1978: Morris Bellamy is a reader so obsessed by America's iconic author John Rothstein that he is prepared to kill for a trove of notebooks containing at least one more unpublished novel. 2009: Pete Saubers, a boy whose father was brutally injured by a stolen Mercedes, discovers a buried trunk containing cash and Rothstein's notebooks. 2014: After thirty-five years in prison, Morris is up for parole. And he's hell-bent on recovering his treasure. Now it's up to retired detective Bill Hodges - running an investigative company called 'Finders Keepers' - to rescue Pete from an ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris... End of Watch Bill Hodges, who now runs a two-person agency called Finders Keepers with partner Holly Gibney, is intrigued by the letter Z written with a marker at the scene of the crime. As similar cases mount up, Hodges is stunned to discover the evidence points to Brady Hartsfield, the notorious 'Mercedes Killer' who they helped to convict. It should be impossible: Brady is confined to a hospital room in a seemingly unresponsive state. But Brady Hartsfield has lethal new powers. And he's planning revenge not just on Hodges and his friends, but on an entire city. The clock is ticking in unexpected ways...

Title In The Set: 1. The Diary of a Drug Fiend 2. Moonchild 3. The Book of Lies 4. The Book of the Law and Liber 777 5. Clouds Without Water and White Stains Description: The Diary of a Drug Fiend When the charming Sir Peter Pendragon meets Louise Laleham, the two immediately begin a whirlwind relationship, get married, and embark on a frenetic drug-fuelled European adventure. Riddled with depression and desperate to find some direction in life, Sir Peter soon experiences the intoxicating thrills and terrifying dangers of the drugs both he and his wife enjoy. Upon their return home, conflict arises as the couple try to abandon their addiction and experiment with "magick". Inspired by Aleister Crowley's own experience as a drug addict, The Diary of a Drug Fiend is a gripping story about the frenzied pursuit of pleasure and ecstasy which eventually leads to despair, ruin, and the desire for redemption. Moonchild "It is a terrible error to let any natural impulse, physical or mental, stagnate. Crush it out, if you will, and be done with it; or fulfil it, and get it out of the system. Filled with magical realism and conflict in a society guided by "magick, Moonchild is Aleister Crowley's most popular novel. When Lisa la Giuffria is manipulated and kidnapped by the magician, Cyril Grey, two opposing clans go head-to-head in a fight for power. Set in London, Paris, and Italy, Moonchild is a unique story about forced rituals and mystical philosophy. As ever, Crowley presents a mysterious and unconventional world while attempting to address thought-provoking questions about the nature of life, the balance of power, and the condition of the soul. The Book of Lies Aleister Crowley himself revealed that The Book of Lies contains "the supreme secret" of the occult organization Ordo Templi Orientis. Those looking to uncover this hidden mystery will also find many of the famed occultist's philosophies on life and spirituality. He shines a light on his exploration of the esoteric and provides readers with some insight into the practices of Free Masonry and Qabalistic teachings. This often-confounding collection of commentary will be rewarding for anyone interested in learning about Qabalah - it is a book for those who seek guidance from the master of "magick" himself. It is an unapologetically mystifying glimpse into Crowley's innermost thoughts and ideas. The Book of the Law and Liber 777 "Even as a flower unfolds beneath the ardent kisses of the Sun, so will this table reveal its glories to the dazzling eye of illumination." Packed with eye-opening insights, this combined volume reveals Aleister Crowley's innermost thoughts on life as well as the ideology he hoped humanity would come to accept more widely. In The Book of the Law, the self-proclaimed prophet of the occult outlines the key psychology and social principles of Thelema, Crowley's self-founded religious movement. Also included is an edited version of Liber 777, an informative gabalistic volume...
