From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, Mistborn: Secret History sheds light on events hidden in the shadows of the original Mistborn trilogy. Kelsier, sentenced to die mining the Pits of Hathsin after attempting to rob the Lord Ruler's palace, arose as a powerful Mistborn and inspired the revolution that shook the foundations of the Final Empire. His name and deeds passed into legend. But was that truly the end of his tale? Whispered hints to those he called friends suggested there was a lot more going on. If you think you know the story of the Mistborn trilogy, think again-but to say anything more here risks revealing too much. Even knowing of this tale's existence could be heresy. There's always another secret.

<p>A man awakes in a clearing in what appears to be medieval England with no memory of who he is, where he came from, or why he is there. Chased by a group from his own time, his sole hope for survival lies in regaining his missing memories, making allies among the locals, and perhaps even trusting in their superstitious boasts. His only help from the "real world" should have been a guidebook entitled <i>The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England</i>, except his copy exploded during transit. The few fragments he managed to save provide clues to his situation, but can he figure them out in time to survive?<br/><br/>******<br/><br/><b>Praise for Brandon Sanderson</b><br/><br/>"Epic in every sense." -<b><i>The Guardian</i></b> on <i>The Way of Kings</i><br/><br/>"Brandon Sanderson's reputation is finally as big as his novels." -<b><i>The New York Times</i></b> on <i>Words of Radiance</i><br/><br/>"If you're a fan of fantasy and haven't read the Mistborn trilogy yet, you have no excuses." -<b><i>Forbes</i></b> on <i>Mistborn</i><br/><br/>"A fresh view of how a world can grow, building new dimensions into the best of the old. Sanderson continues to show that he is one of the best authors in the genre." -<b><i>Library Journal</i></b> (starred review) on <i>The Alloy of Law</i><br/><br/>"Sanderson's fresh ideas on the source and employment of magic are both arresting and original [...] Think brisk. Think fun. Enjoy." -<b><i>Kirkus</i></b>, on <i>The Alloy of Law</i><br/><br/>"Mystery, magic, romance, political wrangling, religious conflict, fights for equality, sharp writing and wonderful, robust characters...Sanderson is a writer to watch." -<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b>, starred review, on <i>Elantris</i></p>

On the west coast of Sweden, in Skärhamn on Tjörn, Chief Inspector Greger Thulin thinks he lives at an idyllic spot. But even the most beautiful painting can have a faulty stroke of the brush. Hiding behind the walls of Bleket School, are bullying and drug addicted students. Homeroom teacher, Jonas Blomgren, lives on Rönnvägen. Amanda Durén and Belinda Wallin are pupils in his class. Amanda wears designer clothes, spreads money around and lives in a mansion, while Belindas family is grateful if theres enough money to cover their basic needs. Belindas mother, Margit Wallin, has a bad feeling about her daughters teacher. Could he be following Belinda, and if so, why?<br/>At the same time love is in the air between some of the detectives.<br/><br/>When the first murder victim shows up on Lyckebacken in Skärhamn, Greger Thulin is convinced that it wont take long for them to find the murderer, but starts to get discouraged when the investigation drags on. Inspector Katarina Linde and Forensic Detective Charlotte Engman are called in and try to put the pieces of the puzzle together from the clues they manage to find. It turns out the victim had an apartment on Eklandagatan in Gothenburg. What was he doing there? Soon Katarina starts to suspect that behind the victims family façade, is a man who may be capable of even more than beating his wife. Greger Thulin is forced to ask the unavoidable question; has the peace and quiet of Skärhamn been put in a backpack, thrown on board a boat, and been transported out to sea?
