The secret hours / by Herron, Mick,author.;
"Two years ago, a hostile Prime Minister launched the Monochrome inquiry, an auditing of the British Secret Service "to investigate historical over-reaching." Monochrome's mission was to ferret out any hint of misconduct by any MI5 officer--and allowed Griselda Fleet and Malcolm Kyle, the two civil servants seconded to the project, unfettered access to any and all confidential information in the Service archives in order to do so. But MI5's formidable First Desk did not become Britain's top spy by accident, and she has succeeded thwarting the inquiry at every turn. Now the administration that brought Monochrome into being has been ousted, the investigation is a total bust--and Griselda and Malcolm are stuck watching as their career prospects swirl down the drain in the pounding London rain. Until the eve of Monochrome's shuttering, when an MI5 case file appears without explanation. It is the buried history of a highly classified operation in 1994 Berlin-an operation that ended in tragedy and scandal, whose cover-up has rewritten thirty years of Service history."--

The mystery writer : a novel / by Gentill, Sulari,author.;
"Theo Benton decides to move to the United States to finally finish her novel, and she is soon drawn into a literary labyrinth where identity is something that can be lost and remade for the sake of sales and readership.

But when the prime suspect turns out to be her older brother, Gus, Theo does what is necessary to protect him-to save him. Then she disappears.

When Gus finds that thread, he follows it, and in attempting to find his sister, inadvertently, or perhaps recklessly, threatens the foundations of the labyrinth itself.

American reckoning : inside Trump's trial - and my own / by Alter, Jonathan,author.;
"As one of a handful of journalists allowed in the courtroom, for 23 days Jonathan Alter sat just feet away from the most dangerous threat to democracy in American history, watching the spectacle of the century: the felony trial of Donald Trump [The people of the state of New York v. Donald J. Trump]. Highly publicized but untelevised and thus largely hidden from public view, this landmark trial offered hope of real justice amid a grueling eight-year national ordeal and foreshadowed the drama of the 2024 presidential election."--

The investigation grows complicated as more victims are found. Drawn deeper in, Riley soon discovers implications far beyond her Midwest town."--
