From SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author Harlan Coben, a heart-pounding
thriller about the ties we have to our past ... and the lies that
bind us together. It's a profile, like all the others on the online
dating site. But as NYPD Detective Kat Donovan focuses on the
accompanying picture, she feels her whole world explode, as
emotions she's ignored for decades come crashing down on her.
Staring back at her is her ex-fiance Jeff, the man who shattered
her heart 18 years ago. Kat feels a spark, wondering if this might
be the moment when past tragedies recede and a new world opens up
to her. But when she reaches out to the man in the profile, her
reawakened hope quickly darkens into suspicion and then terror as
an unspeakable conspiracy comes to light, in which monsters prey
upon the most vulnerable. As Kat's hope for a second chance with
Jeff grows more and more elusive, she is consumed by an
investigation that challenges her feelings about everyone she ever
loved - her former fiance, her mother, and even her father, whose
cruel murder so long ago has never been fully explained. With lives
on the line, including her own, Kat must venture deeper into the
darkness than she ever has before, and discover if she has the
strength to survive what she finds there.
The second Shetland novel When the sun never sets it brings to
light deadly secrets . . . On Shetland, the launch of an exhibition
at The Herring House art gallery is disturbed by a stranger who
bursts into tears, then claims not to remember who he is or where
he comes from. The next day Detective Jimmy Perez finds his body in
a fisherman's hut. Initially it seems to be a straightforward case
of suicide, yet this is no desperate act and is instead the work of
a cold and calculating killer. As Perez investigates, he finds
himself mired in the hidden secrets of a small community. Then
another body is found. Perez knows he must find the killer before
another death occurs. But it is midsummer, an unsettling time when
the sun never really sets in Shetland and nothing is quite as it
seems . . . White Nights is the second book in Ann Cleeves'
bestselling Shetland series - a major BBC One drama, starring
Douglas Henshall.

DID CANADA'S FAVOURITE RADIO HOST COMMIT MURDER?
Kevin Brace, Canada's most famous radio personality, stands in the
doorway of his luxury condominium, hands covered in blood, and
announces to his newspaper delivery man: "I killed her." His wife
lies dead in the bathtub, fatally stabbed. It would appear to be an
open-and-shut case.
The trouble is, Brace refuses to talk to anyone--including his own
lawyer--after muttering those incriminating words. With the
discovery that the victim was actually a self-destructive
alcoholic, the appearance of strange fingerprints at the crime
scene, and a revealing courtroom cross-examination, the seemingly
simple case takes on all the complexities of a hotly contested
murder trial.
In the tradition of defence lawyers turned authors like Scott Turow
and John Grisham, Robert Rotenberg delivers a legal thriller rich
with his forensic skill and insider knowledge, taking readers on a
tour of Toronto from the Don Jail to the towers of Bay Street and
into the shadowy corridors of the Old City Hall courthouse.

figures his luck's about to change when Detroit used car salesman
Frank Ryan catches him trying to boost a ride from Ryan's lot.
Frank's got some surefire schemes for getting rich quick--all of
them involving guns--and all Stickley has to do is follow "Ryan's
Rules" to share the wealth. But sometimes rules need to be bent,
maybe even broken, if one is to succeed in the world of crime,
especially if the "brains" of the operation knows less than
nothing.
