Inside the making of a videogame that defined a generation: Grand Theft Auto Grand Theft Auto is one of the biggest and most controversial videogame franchises of all time. Since its first release in 1997, GTA has pioneered the use of everything from 3D graphics to the voices of top Hollywood actors and repeatedly transformed the world of gaming.

Book Description

An old legend that no one could catch. That puzzled several generations with his bizarre behaviour. That vanished as abruptly as he appeared. And that no one knew anything about. Until now. Three remarkable people find their routines torn apart when they are dragged into a mystery that is far older than ever assumed. They begin a battle for their lives against a shadowy organisation intent on suppressing sensitive information, while at the same time trying to help an unusual creature realise an impossible goal.At 209,000 words, this adventure mystery is based upon the elusive but well documented Spring-Heeled Jack figure from the 19th century and should appeal to most audiences, especially those already aware of the legend.

Book Description

#1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson returns to the merciless winters of Grizzly Falls, Montana, pitting two of her most fascinating characters—detectives and friends Selena Alvarez and Regan Pescoli—against a serial killer with his sights set on a beautiful Montana doctor . . . The resemblance between Dr. Kacey Lambert and B-movie actress Shelly Bonaventure is a standing joke in the town of Grizzly Falls, Montana. So much so, that Kacey is momentarily shocked to read about the fading starlet’s death. Still, it’s not as if there was any real connection between them. And when a fatally injured jogger who also bears a striking similarity to Kacey is rushed into the ER days later, she rules it another sad, strange accident. But Detective Selena Alvarez suspects otherwise. An autopsy confirms that the jogger had traces of poison in her blood at the time of her death. Selena and her partner, Regan Pescoli, can find no motive for the murder. Yet Kacey has started to notice ties between the dead women’s lives and her own—all close in age, born within miles of each other—and all with links to Trace O’Halleran, the man she’s just begun dating. Now Kacey must question her judgment, her safety—and everything she’s ever believed about her past. The deeper Kacey digs, the more reason she has to fear. The body count is rising, the killer is getting bolder and more brutal. And Kacey knows it’s only a matter of time before hers is the next name on a list of those who were born to die . . .
