I found her photograph today...Almost thirty years previously,
Anita Mead had murdered her pop star lover, run away and killed
herself out of remorse. An open-and-shut case. Or is it? Anita had
been Jerry Blore's first love and now, recovered from the
alcoholism which cost him his marriage and career, he is determined
to prove her innocence. Is he simply deluding himself? Or can it be
that after all this time someone has something to hide?
When a prominent lawyer is shot while waiting at a suburban stop
sign it sets off a nation-wide manhunt for an elusive killer.
Special Agent Jack Randall of the FBI finds himself appointed to
track down and stop the shooter. Not by his superiors, but by the
killer himself. As more bodies fall the shooter takes his message
to the press, earning the support of the public with his choice of
targets and confounding the FBI at every turn. From the desert of
Nevada to the urban jungle of New York City, Jack and his team
follow the trail of bodies and haunting messages left behind by the
killer. With the pressure to find him mounting on Jack, the
assassin's crimes grow bolder, and his message more sinister and
closer to home. It becomes clear to Jack that in order to find the
shooter, he may have to look inside his own past, and become the
man he was years ago.

Some secrets are too dangerous to keep . . .
TWO SUSPICIOUS DEATHS
When Dwayne and Alice Odom are killed, the police report states clearly
that it was a drug overdose. So why is their daughter, who was there
when they died, claiming that’s not the truth?
ONE YOUNG SURVIVOR
Betsy Odom doesn’t trust the police but when she finds herself in the
FBI’s custody after her parents’ deaths, she knows she has to be
careful. Her uncle wants to adopt her and as he is a very rich and
powerful man, she wants to let him. His criminal connections, however,
mean the authorities aren’t so sure.
ONE MAN ON THE RUN
Enter Travis Devine. Trying to escape a skilled predator who wants him
dead, Devine finds himself as Betsy’s bodyguard. But when an informant
is found murdered, Devine knows this job is perhaps even more dangerous
than the one he’s running from . . . and the true enemy may be on his
side.

"While Quinn writes with spirit on weighty subjects like domestic
abuse, polygamy and religious cults, her primary and most poignant
theme seems to be female friendship."-New York Times Book Review
"An absolutely thrilling novel. I devoured it over a weekend,
unable to put it down. It's a clever and completely original take
on a domestic thriller."-Alex Michaelides, author of the #1 New
York Times bestseller The Silent Patient "Original, informative,
suspenseful-the big three in a literary slam bang."-New York
Journal of Books Blake's dead. They say his wife killed him. If
so... which one? Polygamist Blake Nelson built a homestead on a
hidden stretch of land-a raw paradise in the wilds of Utah-where he
lived with his three wives: Rachel, the first wife, obedient and
doting to a fault, with a past she'd prefer to keep quiet. Tina,
the rebel wife, everything Rachel isn't, straight from rehab and
the Vegas strip. And Emily, the young wife, naive and scared,
estranged from her Catholic family. The only thing that they had in
common was Blake. Until all three are accused of his murder. When
Blake is found dead under the desert sun, all three wives become
suspect-not only to the police, but to each other. As the
investigation draws them closer, each wife must decide who can be
trusted. With stories surfacing of a notorious cult tucked away in
the hills, whispers flying about a fourth wife, and evidence that
can't quite explain what had been keeping Blake busy, the three
widows face a reckoning that might shatter all they know to be
true. For fans of The Wife Between Us and The Dry comes a chilling
murder mystery that takes a domestic thriller's classic
question-"Did his wife kill him?"-and twists it into an completely
new type of suspense.
The turmoil of the Anglo - Scots border continues, thieving and
murder, the standard order of the day, as the cleaver sings its
song of death. Once again Fyreback is on the vengeance trail.
When Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala investigate a mass stranding of aquatic
life in the Indian Ocean, they accidentally uncover a much deeper
mystery.
A strange figure soon steals NUMA’s findings, forcing a high-speed
chase—someone really didn’t want them examining those dead whales. But
who, and why?
A cryptic text through the NUMA satellite network makes things still
stranger: these odd phrases and numbers look like NUMA codes. But who
could be tantalizing the crew with such specific knowledge of their
tech?
Are they being helped by an old friend, or lured into a trap by a
traitor who knows a little too much about NUMA’s inner workings?
Kurt, Joe, and even Max, the agency’s supercomputer, will have to
investigate like never before as they decrypt data, infiltrate a cult
of cloned men, and prepare for a battle on two very different planes:
one physical; one digital.
Kassie het geglo sy speurderdae is getel ná die Medusa-pedofielsaak, en sy hartaanval. Maar ses maande tuis bring perspektief – hy is ’n speurder in murg en been. Terug by die Spookeenheid word hy en kollega Rooi Els dadelik by die diep kant ingegooi: Hulle moet ’n reeksverkragter vastrek – een wat sy slagoffers met ’n brandyster merk. 'Is die skuldige die man wat beskryf word as “’n weerwolf met die sperm van ’n wildehond”? Of lê die antwoord by die spesifieke merk wat hy op sy slagoffers laat?

Flowerbell is turning 7 years old, and she really wants a special
party with her friends in Fairy Land. Flowerbell's friends bring
lots of presents, and she has lots of yummy treats and cupcakes.
She has so much fun eating and playing games, that when they were
playing hide and seek, she fell asleep, this was the beginning of
her little adventure, and the start of new friendships.
Dr. Peter Chesterfield is one of the Royal London Hospital's top
neurosurgeons. He is also a workaholic, ordered by his boss to take
a week off to attend a medical symposium at the luxurious Elysium
Grand on the island of Maui. While there, Peter pulls a woman with
a skull fracture from the water. Though he is able to revive her in
the ambulance, she eventually dies in his arms, leaving him with
only one clue to what happened to her: the word "honu."
Increasingly obsessed with discovering the cause of his patient's
death, Peter becomes entangled in an ongoing investigation of a
brazen luxury auto theft. He also becomes a source of deep
irritation to detective Lisa Kealoha, who has jurisdiction over the
case. But when the two join forces, they begin to uncover a
destructive plot that runs far deeper than either of them could
have imagined. And if they're not careful, they're both going to
end up dead. Award-winning author James R. Hannibal whisks you away
to the deadly beauty of Hawaii for a story of greed, violence, and
justice that will leave you breathless.
