Dreams can come true. So can nightmares - and no one knows that better than Siri Braddock. Siri has just moved to Wicks End in Salem, Massachusetts. Wicks End is not your average street, and Siri Braddock is not your average teenage girl. She's more curious than most, and the stuff her dreams are made of put her on the trail of Salem's deepest, darkest mystery. Haunted ruins and graveyard stakeouts are all part of Siri's weird, new life on Wicks End. Something strange is happening in Salem. Young people are disappearing, including Siri's best friend, Mallory. A bizarre group has flown into town, and not on planes! In an attic trunk Siri finds an old dress with a mysterious parchment sewn into the hem. What in the world does a dress have to do with stolen Egyptian mummies, a gallows curse, and a haunted insane asylum? Siri is determined to find out! Salem's notorious past reaches out for Siri when a strange, young man sees in her a clue to a three hundred year old puzzle. He's closer than Siri thinks, as close as her own shadow. Wicks End is not average. Neither is Siri's shadow, the one with the glowing green eyes that follows her around. Whoever or whatever he is, he's after the same thing she's after. Somehow Siri needs to find out why she's being followed and how Salem's hidden world of dark secrets ties in with her strange, new life on Wicks End.

A classic spy novel from the bestselling author, Trevanian, about a westerner raised in Japan who becomes one of the world's most accomplished assassins. Nicholai Hel is the world’s most wanted man. Born in Shanghai during the chaos of World War I, he is the son of an aristocratic Russian mother and a mysterious German father and is the protégé of a Japanese Go master. Hel survived the destruction of Hiroshima to emerge as the world’s most artful lover and its most accomplished—and well-paid—assassin. Hel is a genius, a mystic, and a master of language and culture, and his secret is his determination to attain a rare kind of personal excellence, a state of effortless perfection known only as shibumi. Now living in an isolated mountain fortress with his exquisite mistress, Hel is unwillingly drawn back into the life he’d tried to leave behind when a beautiful young stranger arrives at his door, seeking help and refuge. It soon becomes clear that Hel is being tracked by his most sinister enemy—a supermonolith of international espionage known only as the Mother Company. The battle lines are drawn: ruthless power and corruption on one side, and on the other . . . shibumi.
