All's fair in love and revenge in this taut thriller from
bestselling author Lisa Gray. Ex-crime reporter Leonard Blaylock
spends his days on an unusual hobby, developing strangers'
forgotten and discarded rolls of film. He loves the small mysteries
the photographs reveal to him. Then Leonard finds something no one
would ever expect, or want, to see captured on film-the murder of a
young woman. But that's impossible, because the woman is already
dead. Leonard was there when it happened five years earlier. He has
never been able to shake his guilt from that terrible night. It
cost Leonard everything: his career, his fiancee, his future. But
if the woman didn't really die, then what actually happened?
From bestselling author Lisa Gray comes a thrilling tale of a
cutthroat contest for the ultimate house-selling commission… one
million dollars. In the elite world of luxury real estate, it is
often kill or be killed, something agent Andi Hart knows all too
well—and after recent events, she’s ready to set her own rules.
So when her boss challenges the team to find a buyer for a glitzy
Malibu beach house, with a prize commission of a cool $1 million,
she knows it’s her ticket to a new life. But she’s not the only
one who not only wants but needs the money. Each of her four
colleagues has secrets they’re eager to hide—secrets $1 million
would go a long way in concealing. And soon, it becomes clear all
five would do just about anything to get their hands on it… When
a dead body is found at the open house, the dream home becomes a
nightmarish crime scene. Has the contest reached a deadly new
level, or is there something more sinister at work?
An isolated highway in the middle of the desert-the perfect place
to hide a secret. LA-based artist Laurie Simmonds disappeared two
months ago, her campervan abandoned on the isolated Twentynine
Palms Highway, miles from anything-or anyone. With the police
investigation stalled, her parents put all their faith in private
investigator Jessica Shaw to find out the truth of what happened.
Jessica and her partner Matt Connor discover that two other women
are missing, their disappearances connected to the same highway.
When a link emerges between these women and a group of former
college friends, Jessica feels certain they're closing in on their
target. But no sooner do they follow this up than Laurie's parents
get spooked and drop the case. Jessica is blindsided but determined
not to give up: three women are missing, and many more may be at
risk. She can't turn her back on them. But the more she pulls at
the threads of the truth, the closer she comes to danger. Can she
find out who's behind these crimes before they come for her?
She found love on Death Row with her prison pen pal. She's been
missing ever since. Can Jessica Shaw track her down? A missing
persons case should be pretty straightforward for private
investigator Jessica Shaw. After all, it's what she does best. But
this latest case proves to be anything but straightforward.
Christine Ryan is desperate to find her childhood friend Veronica
Lowe. Veronica disappeared more than fifteen years ago, not long
after having a child with a Death Row inmate, notorious serial
killer Travis Dean Ford. When Ford's widow, Jordana, is murdered in
the same way as his victims, Christine fears Veronica and her
daughter will be next. If they're even still alive... Discovering
that both Veronica and Jordana were members of the Lonely Hearts
Club, a pen pal service for women who want to write to men in
prison, Jessica realizes she needs to find Veronica before the
killer does. But as Jessica follows the leads it begins to feel
like someone is following her. Travis has been dead for years, so
who is hunting the Lonely Hearts?

A Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and Amazon Charts
bestseller. "Lisa Gray explodes onto the literary stage with this
taut, edge-of-the-seat thriller, and her headstrong protagonist,
Jessica Shaw, reminiscent of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, delivers a
serious punch." -Robert Dugoni, New York Times bestselling author
Private investigator Jessica Shaw is used to getting anonymous
tips. But after receiving a photo of a three-year-old kidnapped
from Los Angeles twenty-five years ago, Jessica is stunned to
recognize the little girl as herself. Eager for answers, Jessica
heads to LA's dark underbelly. When she learns that her biological
mother was killed the night she was abducted, Jessica's determined
to solve a case the police have forgotten. Meanwhile, veteran LAPD
detective Jason Pryce is in the midst of a gruesome investigation
into a murdered college student moonlighting as a prostitute. A
chance encounter leads to them crossing paths, but Jessica soon
realizes that Pryce is hiding something about her father's
checkered history and her mother's death. To solve her mother's
murder and her own disappearance, Jessica must dig into the past
and find the secrets buried there. But the air gets thinner as she
crawls closer to the truth, and it's getting harder and harder to
breathe.
