They killed Number One in Malaysia, Number Two in England, and Number Three in Kenya. John Smith is not your average teenager; he frequently moves, changing his name and identity to avoid being found by those who hunt him. He cannot settle down or reveal who he truly is, as doing so would put his life in danger. However, when he arrives in Paradise, Ohio, John decides to try fitting in and making friends for the first time. As he begins to form real connections, he faces the looming threat of his secret being uncovered. Once part of a group of nine, John is now Number Four, and he knows he is next on the list of targets. With praise for its tension and excitement, this story captivates readers and is perfect for fans of The Hunger Games. It marks the beginning of a series that explores John's struggle for survival and the friendships he forms along the way. The author, Pittacus Lore, has been on Earth for twelve years, preparing for a war that will determine the fate of the planet. The journey continues in subsequent books, The Power of Six and The Rise of Nine.

A dark, disturbing, compulsively page-turning thriller featuring Herod, a killer of unimaginable cruelty, with an unthinkable desire London is in the grip of a barbaric serial killer, dubbed Herod by the tabloid press. Four pregnant women have been abducted in quick succession, their bodies mutilated and dumped. When a fifth pregnant woman, Julia Caton, is taken from her home in the dead of night, DCI David Rosen knows that time is running out to save her. Then Rosen gets a mysterious phone call from Father Sebastian Flint, an enigmatic priest who seems to know rather too much about the abductions. When it emerges that Father Flint was once the Vatican's leading expert on the occult, the investigation takes an increasingly disturbing turn. But it isn't until Rosen discovers the existence of an ancient text—said to be the devil's answer to the Bible—that the true horror of Herod's plan begins to unfold. Rosen is drawn inexorably to the killer's lair, where he will discover a terrible truth—that Herod's retribution is absolute, and that there are far worse things than death.
