About the book
A Wall Street Journal bestseller.
For nearly thirty years a serial killer has been hiding in plain sight. So has the key to an FBI agent’s dark past.
A family is murdered as they sleep. FBI Special Agent Nina Guerrera and her new team are tasked with determining whether there is any link between this attack and another triple homicide from four years earlier and more than two thousand miles away. In the process, they’ll discover a serial killer so cunning that his grisly trail of death spanning nearly three decades has gone undetected. Each crime scene reminds Nina of the ghostly Latin folktale of La Llorona, which terrified her when she was an abandoned and vulnerable child. Now it’s back to haunt her.
Nina has known evil, but these macabre reenactments are as disturbing as they are baffling. Now she must uncover the meaning behind the rituals as the evidence leads her in an unexpected direction—far closer to home than anyone could have imagined. As the team narrows in on a suspect, the present collides with Nina’s past in a twist of fate that forces her to make the ultimate sacrifice.

About the book
After a year in captivity, eight-year-old Kathy Stone returns home. Silent. Traumatized. And playing out something horrifying.
Child therapist Robin Hart is the only one Kathy responds to, using play therapy to tease out fragments of memory. But when Kathy’s dolls begin reenacting brutal scenes—murders, chains, stabbings—Robin realizes this isn’t just trauma. It’s evidence.
And these are not imagined crimes.
Each session brings another toy death. Another unsolved case. Another chilling clue. Robin begins to fear Kathy knows more than anyone realized, including details that haven’t happened yet.
What starts as a quest to unlock a child’s silence becomes a race to stop a killer. And someone out there doesn’t want Kathy to remember.
The question is no longer what happened. It’s what’s coming next.

In this garden grow luscious flowers, shady trees…and a collection of precious “butterflies”—young women who have been kidnapped and intricately tattooed to resemble their namesakes.

A young attorney.
I Swear To Tell
Mystery · Thriller
Our take
A young attorney. A brutal murder. A truth that could kill. In her first homicide case, Cadence Elliott—a brilliant outsider with everything to prove—uncovers a web of lies, hate, and powerful enemies. This gritty legal thriller launches a sharp new series that’s part courtroom drama, part political powder keg, and all high-stakes suspense.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Cadence Elliott wasn’t supposed to be here.
No Ivy League degree. No Capitol Hill connections. Just grit, brilliance, and a need to never rely on anyone again. Raised in a trailer park and shaped by betrayal, Cadence clawed her way into one of D.C.’s top law firms on merit alone.
Now, her first murder case could make—or end—her career.
Her client: a 19-year-old girl accused of homicide. The defense: self-defense. The complication? The victim had plenty of enemies—and the deeper Cadence digs, the darker the truth becomes.
When the case spirals into the violent world of extremist politics, Cadence finds herself facing more than courtroom deadlines. Because someone out there doesn’t want the truth exposed—and they’ll do whatever it takes to silence her.

About the book
Bestselling author Carolyn Ridder Aspenson is back—this time with a scrappy heroine whose bold detective work and well-timed one-liners will leave you riveted—and entertained—at every turn.
"Detective Rachel Ryder is smart, tough, and fearless—readers will gladly follow her through every twist of Aspenson’s knockout first installment in this riveting new series.” —LynDee Walker, Amazon Charts bestselling author of Fear No Truth
New to town and a little rough around the edges, Detective Rachel Ryder finds herself on the receiving end of a suspicious person’s call in Hamby, Georgia. When the call turns out to be a dead body, the medical examiner is quick to rule the death a suicide. But was it something more sinister?
Everyone in the small department believes the case is closed—except for Rachel. The sudden passing of a local politician during the mayor’s run for Congress strikes her as a little too coincidental, and Rachel is eager to follow her instincts. Her partner, Rob, a 30-year veteran, isn’t the type to disobey his boss or ruffle any feathers, but he can’t convince strong-willed Rachel to let it go.
Obsessed with finding out the truth, Rachel begins to examine the evidence and drags her reluctant partner along for the ride. But the clues are confusing. Nothing is adding up.
Puzzled and running out of time, Rachel and Rob rush to work every angle and bring the elusive killer to justice before someone else ends up dead.
