The war may have ended, but the secrets never did. In Furniture Sliders, the electrifying new novel from Alexander Bentley, the smoldering ruins of 1947 Europe conceal a deeper, more dangerous conflict, one that distorts time, memory, and identity itself.

Spanning New York, Vienna, Prague, Montevideo, and Mendoza, Bentley's first installment in The Bureau Archives Trilogy introduces readers to Max Calder, a former intelligence operative desperate to leave the shadows behind. But when Artemis, a spectral figure from his past, resurfaces with a warning, Calder is thrust back into a chase for the Mirror, a secret so classified even its creators have vanished.

As Calder hunts for answers across a world still cloaked in smoke and subterfuge, truth and illusion become indistinguishable. Each safehouse, each coded message, slides a few inches sideways from reality. Every revelation brings him closer to discovering that the most dangerous secret of all might be himself.

Recipient of the Literary Titan Gold Book Award , Furniture Sliders has been hailed as“a post-war spy-fi romp that kicks off The Bureau Archives Trilogy with a smoky, rain-slicked bang.” The novel masterfully fuses espionage, noir atmosphere, and speculative science fiction, creating what Literary Titan describes as“a stylish, time-twisting spy thriller that leaves you wanting the next mission right away.”

The book's world is painted in fog, cigarette smoke, and fractured memory, with Bentley's prose pulsing like a jazz rhythm beneath a neon haze. Readers are drawn into a labyrinth where the line between hunter and hunted blurs, and where every choice has world-altering consequences.

Bentley's upcoming sequel, Angus Sliders, is already slated for release on December 15, promising to delve even deeper into the mysterious Bureau and the secrets that shape its operatives.
