From the international number one bestselling thriller writer, David Baldacci, comes a gripping mystery about a college football player's investigation into the unsolved disappearance of a fellow player who seemingly vanished into thin air.
Previously published as The Mighty Johns, The Final Play is an ebook novella from bestselling author David Baldacci.
Forty years ago, Herschel Ruggles, a legend on the Mighty Johns football team at Draven University, disappeared after scoring a record-breaking touchdown in front of 25,000 spectators. Ruggles, instead of celebrating, continued running, ball in hand, into a passageway that led under the field. He was never seen again.
His disappearance had mystified the community for decades until another player, brilliant physics major, Merlin North, turns detective and becomes fixated on discovering what happened to Herschel Ruggles.
As North's investigation deepens, he uncovers evidence which suggests that dark forces played a hand in Ruggles' fate, revealing a truth even more extraordinary than he could ever have anticipated.

I was nineteen when I discovered my boyfriend's father was a serial killer.
I stumbled upon his latest victim tied up in the basement of the house he was renovating, and it was my evidence that helped convict him to a life in prison.
My boyfriend never forgave me for turning against his dad and a couple of years later took his own life.

That was fifteen years ago.
I am now a local evening radio presenter, but it seems I can't escape my past.
Late one night, when I'm alone, the phone rings. The caller wants me to solve a riddle, and tells me a life depends on it.
'Only you can save her'
'If she dies it's your fault'

And so, the deadly game begins.
Someone wants revenge.

The perfect read for fans of authors like Clare Mackintosh, Cara Hunter, and Paula Hawkins.

Andrea

I didn't think I'd live another day. It's been almost ten years since I escaped to a life I could never imagine. And to a man I can only dream about. Evan Roark has been my beacon, he's been the man who's shown me that men who are strong can also be safe. After almost a decade, I'm finally ready to take back my life and remember the woman inside me, the woman who wants, who needs, who loves, who feels, who craves ... only he's made it clear I can't crave him. But I haven't made it this far to make a new life only to fail now. I want him to be the one to help me erase my past. And if he wants to be all up in my space being bossy and over protective, and looking so hot, then I can't help it if I'll try anything possible to get him to touch me.

Evan

Nine years ago I asked my best friend, Xavier, for a favor, a way to keep Andrea safe. While I run security for him and guard his family against all threats, I can also keep her close. I keep her close, but never touch. But when she paints a target on her back by filing for divorce, I'm forced to make a choice, and it's her I have to protect. And now she's calling my bluff, letting me know she's ready to finally trust another man to hold her, to touch her, to love her... It's killing me. I want it to be me, but I can't be both her lover and her protector. If I give in, then I won't see the threat coming. I know what happens when I get distracted. People get hurt.

But she's making it so ... damn... difficult. ***

What will it take to have them both give in to what has been there for longer than either of them knew?

Set against the back drop of Southern France in and around a tiny story book village reminiscent of Belle's village in Beauty and The Beast, comes a story of a woman who's life was stolen by an abusive husband, and the man who'll help her remember the woman she is inside.

On January 1, 2006, the first episode of series ten of Agatha Christie's Poirot, "The Mystery of the Blue Train," was made available for public viewing. This extended episode is based on the Agatha Christie book of the same name, which served as the source material. Guy Andrews wrote it, and Hettie Macdonald was the one who directed it.

Poirot becomes involved in the investigation of the brutal murder of American heiress Ruth Kettering and the disappearance of her fabulous ruby known as the 'Heart of Fire' while he is on the Blue Train traveling between Calais and Nice. Who is to blame for this? To put together the pieces of the tragic puzzle, Poirot interviews the girl's father, her maid, her estranged husband, her eccentric cousins, and a host of other peculiar passengers.

When her grandmother's will wrenches Sara back to her small hometown of Sweet Bay, Alabama, she must face family secrets and difficult choices. In the South, family is always more complicated than it seems.

After her last remaining family member dies, Sara Jenkins goes home to The Hideaway, her grandmother Mags's ramshackle BundB in Sweet Bay. She intends to quickly tie up loose ends then return to her busy life and thriving antique shop in New Orleans. Instead, she learns Mags has willed The Hideaway to her and charged her with renovating it—no small task considering her grandmother's best friends, a motley crew of senior citizens, still live there.

Rather than hurrying back to New Orleans, Sara stays in Sweet Bay and begins the biggest house-rehabbing project of her career. Amid drywall dust, old memories, and a charming contractor, she discovers that slipping back into life at The Hideaway is easier than she expected.

Then she discovers a box Mags left in the attic with clues to a life Sara never imagined for her grandmother. With help from Mags's friends, Sara begins to piece together the mysterious life of bravery, passion, and choices that changed her grandmother's destiny in both marvelous and devastating ways.

When an opportunistic land developer threatens to seize The Hideaway, Sara is forced to make a choice—stay in Sweet Bay and fight for the house and the people she's grown to love or leave again and return to her successful but solitary life in New Orleans
