About the book
From the New York Times bestselling author of Justice for Sara and The First Wife Erica Spindler comes The Other Girl, a chilling new thriller about a ritualistic murder of a college professor that sends a small town cop back into the trauma she thought she'd put behind her.
"Explosive." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A fantastic thriller from one of the best in the genre!" —RT Reviews
A horrific crime. One witness—a fifteen year old girl from the wrong side of the tracks, one known for lying and her own brushes with the law.
Is it any surprise no one believed her?
Officer Miranda Rader of the Harmony, Louisiana PD is known for her honesty, integrity, and steady hand in a crisis—but that wasn't always so. Miranda comes from the town of Jasper, a place about the size of a good spit on a hot day, and her side of the tracks was the wrong one. She's worked hard to earn the respect of her coworkers and the community.
When Miranda and her partner are called to investigate the murder of one of the town's most beloved college professors, they're unprepared for the brutality of the scene. This murder is unlike any they've ever investigated, and just when Miranda thinks she's seen the worst of it, she finds a piece of evidence that chills her to the core: a faded newspaper clipping about that terrible night fifteen years ago. The night she'd buried, along with her past and the girl she'd been back then. Until now that grave had stayed sealed…except for those times, in the deepest part of the night, when the nightmares came: of a crime no one believed happened and the screams of the girl they believed didn't exist.
Then another man turns up dead, this one a retired cop. Not just any cop—the one who took her statement that night. Two murders, two very different men, two killings that on the surface had nothing in common—except Miranda.

About the book
For fans of Craig Johnson and James Lee Burke—False Positive follows up the powerful punch of Andrew Grant’s novel RUN with a staggering second dose of thrills and suspense that is just as smart, atmospheric, and soul-searing.
Alabama detective Cooper Devereaux makes no apologies for his luxe lifestyle or the way he does his job. Most cops haven’t lived the kind of life he has—starting out as an orphan, raised by a grizzled cop savior—and most don’t use his kind of high-risk tactics. But he may have met his match in fellow detective Jan Loflin, who’s fresh off a long undercover stint in Vice when they’re partnered on a case that will test them both beyond their direst nightmares.
A seven-year-old boy has disappeared from his home in the Birmingham suburbs. But the more Devereaux digs into the missing child’s background, the more he discovers about his own, eventually shaking loose a series of harrowing truths—about bloodlines, mass murder, obsession, and what two damaged detectives have in common with the innocent victim they’re so desperate to save. This twisty page-turner—the debut of the Detective Cooper Devereaux series—hurtles at a mile a minute through an action-packed search for a missing child, culminating in an ending that no reader will see coming.
Praise for False Positive
“A fast-moving thriller . . . Readers who like defects in their heroes will love this guy, who knows he’s not as good as he’d like to be. The final twist comes just as all finally seems well with the world. A dark, enjoyable novel. One of Grant’s better works.”—Kirkus Reviews

If Blake and his daughters do not escape, they will be infected with a virus that will either kill them outright or transform them into outcasts whose very existence is a threat to the world around them.
In the following hours, Blake and his daughters must make a vital choice: risk everything to escape and warn the rest of the world, or accept their new reality—as well as the uncertain fate of the human race.

About the book
A dark past. A fresh start. A new nightmare waiting to begin.
Willow McAllister is desperate to start over. Quiet town. Blank slate. No attachments. When she meets her friendly new neighbour, Priya, it feels like a lifeline: the start of something good.
And then there’s Gabe: charming, funny, easy to talk to. Maybe she’s allowed a little happiness. Maybe she can trust again.
But Willow’s instincts have been wrong before. And when she discovers that Gabe and Priya share a past, the cracks start to show. Willow can’t help wondering if Priya’s arrival next door really was by chance. Because coincidences like this? They don’t feel like coincidences at all.
Is she imagining the tension between them? Or ignoring something she shouldn’t?
Someone is lying.
And Willow can’t afford to get it wrong again.

Our take
After eight months in Russia’s most brutal POW camp, Captain Alex Coleman is done waiting for rescue.

About the book
Captain Alex Coleman is not prepared to wait for rescue. He plans to make his own luck.
After eight months at Russia’s most brutal prisoner of war camp, Captain Alex Coleman figures he’s seen it all. He’s lost friends. He’s been tortured. Worst of all, he’s learned that he can’t trust his second-in-command any more than a hungry tiger on Taco Tuesday.
With the prisoners’ first escape attempt ending in betrayal, Alex knows he must think outside the box. The problem is that he’s a submariner, not some Recon Marine with hand-to-hand combat experience. Alex prefers his hair-raising danger in the form of torpedoes and missiles. Facing off with Russians determined to wrench secrets out of his people is a unique kind of torture, yet Alex is far too much of a leader to sit with his head in his hands. He knows he must take action, but what?
World War III has raged across oceans, continents, and beneath the sea’s surface for two years. The major powers all know the rules by now, but what no one has encountered is a desperate Alex Coleman. Desperation breeds creativity, and this former maker of coffee creamer fireballs is also unorthodox enough to try the impossible: take over an entire POW Camp.
The Russians will never know what hit them, but can Alex and his people survive their bid for freedom?
Laws of War is a visceral, up-close look into the experience of a modern prisoner of war, serving up equal servings of war, leadership, and loyalty in the tradition of the War of the Submarine. It also completes the mid-series duology started in Code of Conduct.

About the book
From the New York Times–bestselling author: A glamorous French villa. A carefully curated guest list. A body in the pool.
The South of France is stunning, though not without its imperfections, from pickpockets to burglars to the occasional cold-blooded killer. But in his twenty-five years of service, Baxter—with a spotless reputation as a polished, well-mannered butler—has never run into any issues catering to the ultrawealthy. Until now.
Baxter’s latest assignment is at Villa Sérénité, where Alec Prescott is hosting a colorful cast of characters, including his ex-wife, his much younger lady friend, and some Hollywood hotshots, after the Cannes Film Festival. But it doesn’t take long for a week of sun, wine, and a family birthday celebration to devolve into bickering and backstabbing. And soon, secrets aren’t the only thing floating to the surface . . .
When one of the guests is found dead in the villa’s glittering pool, the unflappable Baxter must assist the gendarmes in determining who’s responsible. With some standing to gain and others motivated to take it away, fingers are pointed in all directions. A good butler is expected to see everything and say nothing—but what if he too becomes a target?
“Mackintosh shrewdly mixes soapy drama with quality sleuthing to deliver a diverting tale of murder and money.” —Publishers Weekly
