The Puppy Express
David Rosenfelt
The Puppy ExpressA classic American road‐trip . . . with twenty‐five rescue dogs.All aboard!
When David Rosenfelt and his family embarked on a roadtrip across the USA to their new home in Maine, he thought he had prepared for every eventuality. They had mapped out the route, brought three just‐in‐case SatNavs and had enough snacks to feed an army. There was just one tiny complication ‐ they were travelling with twenty‐ five rescue dogs: a sure‐fire recipe for chaos. But having devoted their lives to rehoming thousands of unwanted and unloved dogs, there was no way they could leave them behind.
With nine volunteers, three motorhomes and several contingency plans, David and his very large, very hairy family set off on a journey that will test his patience and his sense of humour to the limits. This is a hilarious and uplifting tale of a canine cross‐country adventure like no other; if David and his dogs make it to Maine in one piece, it will be a miracle!

The CollectorA thrilling new novel of love, murder and suspense.
Life can change in a heartbeat.

But then one day she witnesses something only too real ‐ the brutal and shocking murder of a young woman living across the street in New York.
And now, because of what she saw, Lila's own life is in immediate danger from an audacious, single‐ minded assassin who kills for profit and for pleasure.
With the police following a false lead, Lila is on her own. Her only hope is to team up with Ashley Archer, an artist with his own complicated reasons for getting involved. Lila wants to trust the passionate, quick‐witted Ash ‐ but is she letting her feelings blind her to his motives.
Either way, Lila will never watch from the sidelines again...
