About the book
Nebula-winning author of the Alex Benedict series:A woman steals a starship to find her long-lost clone-sister in a "masterly" novel of first contact (Library Journal).
We are alone. That is the verdict, after centuries of Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence missions and space exploration. The only living things in the Universe are found on the Nine Worlds settled from Earth, and the starships that knit them together. Or so it's believed, until Dr. Kimberly Brandywine sets out to find what happened to her clone-sister Emily, who, after the final unsuccessful manned SETI expedition, disappeared along with the rest of her ship's crew.
Following a few ominous clues, Kim discovers the ship's log was faked. Something happened out there in the darkness between the stars, and she's prepared to go to any length to find answers. Even if it means giving up her career . . . stealing a starship . . . losing her lover. Kim is about to discover the truth about her sister—and about more than she ever dared imagine.

About the book
The last time Gwen Kane killed a man, it was to stay alive. This time, she's going looking.
For the first time in years, Gwen has something worth protecting. A job at the only café in Black Pines. A best friend stitching her life back together. A man who loves her enough to bury her secrets beside his own.
Then her friend Delilah turns up dead, and Gwen knows exactly who did it.
Sebastian doesn't want to help. He killed once for his own sister, and he'll carry that weight forever, but he keeps insisting what Gwen wants is different. That rage isn't justice. That loving her means pulling her back from the edge, not stepping over it beside her.
Gwen has spent her whole life being told to swallow her fury. She's done swallowing.
A funeral she wasn't invited to. A predator hiding behind a grieving boyfriend's face. A fifteen-year-old sister already looking at him the way Delilah once did. And a partner who can't decide whether he's saving Gwen or losing her to something neither of them will survive.
Because Evan isn't the first name on Gwen's list. He's only the first she's willing to say out loud.

About the book
Blackwood has a serial killer problem. Lucky for her, one of them is obsessed with her.
After her messy divorce, Sienna Blake is done with men. She’s trading her wreckage for a sun-drenched future in California until a violent Montana storm sends her car skidding off the road and straight into Blackwood. A town with more cows than people, a thriving fascination with its serial-killer history, and one dangerously attractive rancher who looks at her like she’s already his.
Sterling Hayes didn’t build his empire by letting go of what he wants. And the moment Sienna steps into his town, something inside him wakes up. He knows she doesn’t belong there. He also knows he’s not letting her leave. So he does what any reasonable, wildly unhinged man would
do. He steals a few critical car parts and buys himself time. One month to convince her that Blackwood is exactly where she belongs―preferably wrapped up in his sheets, wearing nothing but his flannel.
Sienna refuses to be easy prey. She’s stubborn, sharp-tongued, and far too smart for his dirty cowboy games. Between an accidently flashing incident, an embarrassing accident involving pie, and a series of ranch disasters that leave her bruised and furious, she’s determined to prove she won’t fall for him or this town.
But Blackwood has secrets that run deeper than flirtation and far darker than small-town charm. Women have been disappearing in the Montana wilderness, and everyone knows the land remembers blood. When the killer’s attention turns toward Sienna, Sterling’s careful restraint
fractures. Because monsters recognize monsters. And the man watching her isn’t just a rancher willing to steal car parts.
He’s the kind of man who knows how to hunt.
Will Sienna escape Blackwood, or will she realize some traps are worth staying caught in―especially when the most dangerous thing in town is already obsessed with keeping her alive?

About the book
STARRED PUBLISHERS WEEKLY REVIEW: "Astounding, inventive."
STARRED KIRKUS REVIEW: "Lush and innovative worldbuilding, gruesome body horror . . . A nail-biting tale set in a beautifully rendered world of darkness and danger"
The darkness isn’t empty. It’s hungry.
At the edge of the City of the Void, a massive chasm extends miles into the earth, its treacherous terrain overrun with vicious monsters and carnivorous plants. For orphaned best friends Petra and Jade, guiding treasure-seeking tourists down into the Void is the only way to earn enough to pull themselves up out of the slums for good.
Petra prefers to play it safe and take jobs only in the Void’s upper levels, where the dangers are better understood, while Jade wants to risk a descent to the deepest and most mysterious Sixth Layer. Because the deeper they go, the better the payout, and the sooner their dreams can become reality. Their friendship is Petra’s whole world, and Jade’s approval means everything—so Petra agrees to do it Jade’s way.
When their job goes wrong and Jade is lost in the Void, Petra must plunge deeper than she’s ever dared to save her friend. But she doesn’t know the truth of the Void . . . or what really waits for her in its depths.

About the book
"A heart-pounding roller coaster ride."—Tami Hoag, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Boy
*A Crime Reads Most Anticipated Book of 2021*
A serial killer and his copycat are locked in a violent game of cat and mouse. Can DI Anjelica Henley stop them before it’s too late?
On the day she returns to active duty with the Serial Crimes Unit, Detective Inspector Anjelica Henley is called to a crime scene. Dismembered body parts from two victims have been found by the river.
The modus operandi bears a striking resemblance to Peter Olivier, the notorious Jigsaw Killer, who has spent the past two years behind bars. When he learns that someone is co-opting his grisly signature—the arrangement of victims’ limbs in puzzle-piece shapes—he decides to take matters into his own hands.
As the body count rises, DI Anjelica Henley is faced with an unspeakable new threat. Can she apprehend the copycat killer before Olivier finds a way to get to him first? Or will she herself become the next victim?
Drawing on her experience as a criminal attorney, debut novelist Nadine Matheson delivers the page-turning crime novel of the year. Taut, vivid and addictively sinister, The Jigsaw Man will leave you breathless until the very last page.

About the book
Finding the truth seems impossible when her own dark past has her seeing lies everywhere she looks...
From the outside, criminal psychiatristDr. Madeline Pine's life appears picture-perfect—she has a beautiful family, a successful mental health practice, and a growing reputation as an expert in female violence. But when she's called to help investigate a mysterious death at a boarding school for troubled teenage girls, Madeline hesitates. She's been through tragic cases before, and the one she was entangled in last year nearly destroyed her...
Yet she can't turn away when she hears about Charley Ridley. After Charley was found barefoot and in pajamas at the bottom of an icy ravine on campus, the police ruled her death a tragic accident. But the private investigator hired by her mother has his doubts. If it were Madeline's daughter who died, she'd want to know why.
Arriving at the secluded campus in upstate New York, Madeline's met by an unhelpful skeleton staff and the four other students staying on campus during winter break. Each seems to hold a piece of the puzzle. And everyone has secrets—Madeline included. But who would kill to protect them?
