About the book
A cold case that’s no longer cold. A suspect who’s been murdered. A silenced witness.
"A brilliant debut." —Steve Cavanagh
"True fans of Val McDermid will love Payne's writing.” —A. J. West
"One of the most exciting new voices in crime fiction." —Kia Abdullah
DI Sheridan Holler is used to solving crimes on Liverpool’s streets, but after a decayed corpse turns up in a cemetery, she finds herself reopening not one but two cold cases. Seven years earlier, two women were gunned down and the only suspect, small-time drug dealer John Lively, was never seen again. Case closed. Until the body in the cemetery is identified as his.
Holler needs to work out if Lively was killed out of revenge, or was just a victim of the criminal world he inhabited. When shocking evidence is revealed about the murder weapon, Holler’s cold case starts to look hopeless once more.
But defeat is not an option. Driven by the unsolved and traumatic murder of her brother when they were children, DI Holler’s pursuit of justice is relentless. As old wounds are reopened, the police close in on the killer, but the threat of them striking again is all too real. Can DI Holler put the pieces of the puzzle together before anyone else winds up dead?

About the book
She thought she knew her husband. She was wrong.
Twenty-eight days ago, my life was perfect. A husband who still made me laugh, two beautiful kids, and a gorgeous house in Savannah that felt like forever.
Two days later, he was gone...swallowed by the water while our children watched.
Everyone calls it a tragic accident. But accidents don’t leave notes from other women in their pockets. They don’t carve question marks into your soul.
And they don’t bring his other wife to your door.
I’m trying to move on. To hold it together for my kids. To bury the choices I made the night before he disappeared—the ones I can’t let anyone discover. But when a private investigator shows up with questions I can’t answer and eyes that see too much, I’m caught between attraction and suspicion...between the truth he’s chasing and the secrets I can’t afford to share.
Because as the lies surface, I’m realizing the wife, the mother, the safe version of me is almost gone. And what’s left might be far more dangerous than anyone expects.
Mira Shaw delivers obsession, betrayal, and dangerous attraction in Almost Gone—book one of a gripping psychological thriller series that will haunt fans of Verity and The Housemaid. Join the Final Chapter Book Club...but beware: the truth is murky, the water is deep, and secrets refuse to drown.

About the book
“Exciting, suspenseful, horrifying, and written at a flurry-of-punches pace. Read Fever House now.”—STEPHEN KING
A small-time criminal. A has-been rock star. A shadowy government agency. And a severed hand whose dark powers threaten to destroy them all.
A WALL STREET JOURNAL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
When leg-breaker Hutch Holtz rolls up to a rundown apartment complex in Portland, Oregon, to collect overdue drug money, a severed hand is the last thing he expects to find stashed in the client’s refrigerator. Hutch quickly realizes that the hand induces uncontrollable madness: Anyone in its proximity is overcome with a boundless compulsion for violence. Within hours, catastrophic forces are set into motion: Dark-op government agents who have been desperately hunting for the hand are on Hutch’s tail, more of the city’s residents fall under its brutal influence, and suddenly all of Portland stands at the precipice of disaster. . . .
But it’s all the same for Katherine Moriarty, a singer whose sudden fame and precipitous downfall were followed by the mysterious death of her estranged husband—suicide, allegedly. Her trauma has made her agoraphobic, shackled within the confines of her apartment. Her son, Nick, has moved home to care for her, quietly making his living working for Hutch’s boss.
When Hutch calls Nick in distress, looking for someone else to take the hand, Katherine and Nick are plunged into a global struggle that will decimate the walls of the carefully arranged life they’ve built. Mother and son must evade both crazed, bloodthirsty masses and deceitful government agents while exorcising family secrets that have risen from the dead—secrets, they soon discover, that might hold the very key to humanity’s survival.

In New York Times bestselling author Jeff Abbott’s latest novel of riveting psychological suspense, an uneasy alliance forms as two widows delve into their husbands’ deadly and dangerous secrets—as they try to protect their own.
Henry North is a down-on-his-luck cybersecurity expert from New Orleans. Adam Zhang is the cofounder of one of Austin’s most successful venture capitalist firms. These two men didn’t know each other. They had never met. Yet they died together, violently, in a place neither had any business being.
When Henry doesn’t return from a business trip, his wife, Kirsten, panics—and then gets an anonymous phone call: “Your husband is dead in Austin.”
Flora Zhang knew her husband was keeping secrets. She suspected an affair, but she had decided she could forgive him for his weakness—until her husband ended up dead. And with no explanation for her husband’s murder, the police begin to suspect her.
Together, these two widows will face a powerful foe determined to write a false narrative about the murders. In doing so, neither Flora nor Kirsten will remain the women the world thought they were.

Choose your retailer
About the book
"An excellent, edgy thriller" about a single mom turned amateur sleuth confronting "secrets, betrayals, stunning revelations. This book has it all" (Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Still See You Every Where).
Maeve Conlon's life is coming apart at the seams. Her bakery is barely making ends meet, and one of her daughters spends as much time grounded as the other does studying. Her ex-husband has a new wife, a new baby, and a look of pity for Maeve that's absolutely infuriating. Her father insists he's still independent, but he's slowly and obviously succumbing to Alzheimer's. And now, her cousin Sean Donovan has been found dead, sitting in his car in a public park in quiet Farringville, New York, shot through the head.
There was never much love lost between Maeve and Sean and she's not exactly devastated by his death, but suddenly the police are poking around asking the family questions. It's just one more hassle Maeve doesn't have time for, until she realizes that her father, whose memory and judgment are unreliable at best, is a suspect in the murder. Maeve is determined to clear his name, but is she prepared to cope with the dark memories and long-hidden secrets that doing so might dredge up?
"[A] riveting tale of ordinary cruelty and complicated heroism . . . All the characters are sharply drawn, particularly Maeve, whose dark humor and stoic attitude mask an unshakable moral core." —Publisher's Weekly, starred review
"A darkly powerful tale of family secrets, loss, and revenge." —Hank Philippi Ryan, USA Today–bestselling author of The House Guest
"A surprising, suspenseful and satisfying story." —Mary Jane Clark, New York Times–bestselling author of Dying for Mercy

About the book
From the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of The Intruders and The Straw Men comes a nerve-shattering story of guilt, rage, deadly secrets, and very, very . . . bad things
Three years ago, lawyer John Henderson watched his four-year-old son tumble from a jetty into the lake outside their Washington home. In a terrible instant, a life all too brief and innocent ended. But it wasn't drowning, the fall, or even some previously undetected internal defect that killed the little boy. Scott Henderson had simply, inexplicably . . . died.
Today, John is a different man—divorced, living a solitary existence in a beach house in Oregon, working as a waiter in a restaurant that caters to the summer crowd. Withdrawn from a life and past too painful to revisit, he touches no one and no one touches him. Then one night he receives a short and profoundly disturbing e-mail message from a stranger. It reads: I know what happened.
It's enough to pull John back to Black Ridge—the one place on earth he'd hoped never to return to—in search of answers to the mystery that shattered his world. In this small, isolated Pacific Northwest community, populated in large part by descendants of the original settlers, the shadows now seem even darker and more sinister than when tragedy first drove him away—and the wind whipping down out of the primal forest can chill a man to his soul. It seems that bad things have always happened in this town of generations-old secrets—and are happening still.
The deeper John digs into his own past, and into local history, the more danger he draws toward himself . . . and toward his estranged and helpless family. And though he doesn't know it, he's not the only one who's been called back to Black Ridge.
And that's a very bad thing . . .
A twisting, relentlessly thrilling, and consistently surprising novel of psychological suspense, Michael Marshall's Bad Things is a masterwork of chilling brilliance that will keep the reader guessing right to the final page. Bad things don't just happen to other people. They're waiting to happen to you, too.

About the book
One body.
Two Minds.
An obsession that might bury her.
Maeve Lockhart has spent six months chasing shadows in Thornhaven, desperate to uncover the truth about her best friend Bethany’s disappearance. But her search no longer focuses on the past. It is tied to a string of violent murders, all connected to Thornhaven Orphanage, where it all began.
Caleb Blackwood keeps his distance, clinging to the quiet life he has built as a small-town veterinarian. But Caleb has a secret, one he does not fully understand, and when Maeve starts asking questions, his fragile control begins to crumble. Asher, the darker side of him, emerges, and he is impossible to contain.
When Maeve receives a chilling package signed by A, her investigation takes a dangerous turn. The deeper she digs, the more she is forced to confront not only Thornhaven’s secrets, but the growing darkness within herself. Her connection to Caleb threatens to unravel everything, and the truth she uncovers may cost her far more than her sanity.
As the lines between victim and villain blur, Maeve must decide: Can she trust Caleb to help her, or is he the very reason she will not make it out alive?
Shattered Minds is a dark, romantic psychological thriller exploring the thin line between love and obsession, trust, and the price of the truth.
For fans of psychological tension, pitch-black characters, and romance steeped in danger, Amanda Kade’s gripping novel will keep you turning pages.
