Nick is a fed's worst nightmare: exceptionally talented in his line of work, known the world over for being able to pull off some of the most dangerous, high-profile cons. In a cruel twist of fate, Kate's bosses at the FBI force her to covertly partner up with Nick to take down big league crime. Their adventures continue in this exciting second novel in the series"-- Book Synopsis NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg, bestselling authors of The Heist, return in this action-packed, exciting adventure featuring master con artist Nicolas Fox and die-hard FBI agent Kate O'Hare. And this time around, things go from hot to nuclear when government secrets are on the line. Internationally renowned thief and con artist Nicolas Fox is famous for running elaborate and daring scams. His greatest con of all: convincing the FBI to team him up with the only person who has ever caught him, and the only woman to ever capture his attention, Special Agent Kate O'Hare. Together they'll go undercover to swindle and catch the world's most wanted--and untouchable--criminals. Their newest cartnear is Carter Grove, a former White House chief of staff and the ruthless leader of a private security agency. Grove has stolen a rare Chinese artifact from the Smithsonian, a crime that will torpedo U.S. relations with China if it ever becomes public. Nick and Kate must work under the radar--and against the clock--to devise a plan to steal the piece back. Confronting Grove's elite assassins, Nick and Kate rely on the skills of their ragtag crew, including a flamboyant actor, a Geek Squad techie, and a band of AARP-card-carrying mercenaries led by none other than Kate's dad. A daring heist and a deadly chase lead Nick and Kate from Washington, D.C., to Shanghai, from the highlands of Scotland to the underbelly of Montreal. But it'll take more than death threats, trained henchmen, sleepless nights, and the fate of a dynasty's priceless heirloom to outsmart Fox and O'Hare.

Book Synopsis Book one of the New York Times-bestselling All Souls trilogy--a wonderfully imaginative grown-up fantasy with all the magic of Harry Potter and Twilight" (People).

In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont.

The story continues in book two, Shadow of Night, and concludes with The Book of Life. Review Quotes "A wonderfully imaginative grown-up fantasy with all the magic of Harry Potter or Twilight. . . . An irresistible tale of wizardry, science and forbidden love." --People "Romantic, erudite, and suspenseful . . . Harkness attends to every scholarly and emotional detail with whimsy, sensuality, and humor." --O, The Oprah Magazine "A thoroughly grown-up novel packed with gorgeous historical detail and a gutsy, brainy heroine to match. . . . Harkness writes with thrilling gusto about the magical world." --Entertainment Weekly "Harkness conjures up a scintillating paranormal story. . . . Discover why everyone's talking about this magical book." --USA Today "Delightfully well-crafted and enchantingly imaginative . . . It has some of the same ineluctable atmosphere that made Anne Rice's vampire books such a popular success." --Miami Herald "A debut novel with a big supernatural canvas . . . Its ambitions are world-sized, ranging across history and zeroing in on DNA, human and otherwordly. Age-old tensions between science and magic and between evolution and alchemy erupt as Diana seeks to unlock the secrets of Ashmole 782." --Los Angeles Times "Harkness, an eloquent writer, conjures this world of witches with Ivy League degrees and supernatural creatures completely--and believably--while maintaining a sense of wonder. . . . A Discovery of Witches is that rare historical novel that manages to be as intelligent as it is romantic. And it is supernatural fiction that those of us who usually prefer to stay grounded in reality can get caught up in. Pardon the pun, but Witches is truly spellbinding." --San Antonio News-Express "Readers who thrilled to Elizabeth Kostova's 2005 blockbuster, The Historian, will note the parallels, but A Discovery of Witches is a modern Romeo and Juliet story, with older, wiser lovers. Blood will flow when a witch and a vampire fall for each other. Author Deborah Harkness, a UCLA history professor, brings vast knowledge and research to the page." --Cleveland Plain Dealer "Harkness works her own form of literary alchemy by deftly blending fantasy, romance, history, and horror into one completely bewitching book." --Chicago Tribune "A Discovery of Witches becomes increasingly charming as it goes along. . . . A shrewdly written romp and a satisfying snow-day read for those of us who heartily enjoyed the likes of Anne Rice and Marion Zimmer Bradley. By the book's rousing end . . . I was impatient for the sequel." --NPR About The Author Deborah Harkness is the number one New York Times bestselling author of A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, and The Book of Life.

Book Synopsis THE FIRST NOVEL IN LEE CHILD'S #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING JACK REACHER SERIES--SOON TO BE A PRIME ORIGINAL SERIES!"From its jolting opening scene to its fiery final confrontation, Killing Floor is irresistible."--People Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter. He's just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he's arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn't kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn't stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell. Review Quotes Praise for Killing Floor A People Magazine "Page-Turner" A Barry Award winner An Anthony Award winner "All [Jack Reacher novels] are ripping yarns, but.... Killing Floor wins awards for Best Corrupt Southern Town in a Summer Novel and Best Exploding Warehouse."--Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly "Combines high suspense with almost nonstop action. Reacher is a wonderfully epic hero: tough, taciturn, yet vulnerable."--People "Great style and careful plotting. The violence is brutal... depicted with the kind of detail that builds dread and suspense."--The New York Times "A complex thriller with layer upon layer of mystery and violence and intrigue...A long unsettling trip that leaves your brain buzzing and your stomach knotted. The author pens nightmarish images as casually as an ordinary writer would dot an 'i' or cross a 't'." --The Philadelphia Inquirer "A tough, compelling thriller with characters who jump off the page."--Houston Chronicle "Violent and visceral...A cut above...Reacher is as tough as he is resourceful. An exciting, edge-of-the-chair account. Compelling and relentlessly suspenseful."--The Denver Post "Some novelists can write top-notch action and some can create compelling mysteries, yet it's rare to find both of those skills displayed in a single book. Lee Child's Killing Floor is one of them. But not content with writing a rip-roaring thriller, Child also gives us one of the truly memorable tough-guy heroes in recent fiction: Jack Reacher."--Jeffery Deaver "A big, rangy plot, menace as palpable as a ticking bomb, and enough battered corpses to make an undertaker grin."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Beautifully detailed action scenes and fascinating arcana about currency and counterfeiting...[A] taut and tough-minded first novel."--Publishers Weekly "I love the larger-than-life hero, Jack Reacher. I grew up a fan of John Wayne's and Clint Eastwood's movies, and it's great to see a man of their stature back in business. Lee Child grabs you with the first line and never loosens his grip. Killing Floor is a terrific ride."--Nevada Barr "This is a kick-ass first novel by the very talented Lee Child. Hero Jack Reacher has presence and dimension--a man you definitely want on your side. Child has a sure touch and a strong voice. Definitely a talent to watch."--Lynn S. Hightower About The Author Lee Child is #1 New York Times bestsellling author of the Jack Reacher thrillers and the complete Jack Reacher story collection, No Middle Name.

On a day that begins like any other, Hal receives a mysterious letter bequeathing her a substantial inheritance. She realizes very quickly that the letter was sent to the wrong person--but also that the cold-reading skills she's honed as a tarot card reader might help her claim the money. Soon, Hal finds herself at the funeral of the deceased...where it dawns on her that there is something very, very wrong about this strange situation and the inheritance at the center of it.

Ware uncannily conveys the chill that pervades both the region and the house, in its frigid rooms and in the eyes that gaze at our heroine." --Seattle Times "Ruth Ware has written another gripping thriller... Creepy and atmospheric, The Death of Mrs. Westaway will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Ware spins a convincing web of intrigue and tension." --Shelf Awareness "[A] captivating and eerie page-turner." --The Wall Street Journal "A classic never goes out of style. Consider the confident simplicity of the dry martini, the Edison lightbulb and Meghan Markle's wedding dress. Now, add to that list Ruth Ware's new novel, The Death of Mrs. Westaway... a perfectly executed suspense tale very much in the mode of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca." --Washington Post "If you've been pining away for a first-rate gothic murder mystery for the past 40-odd years since Agatha Christie's passing, hie yourself to your local (or online) book vendor for Ruth Ware's The Death of Mrs. Westaway.

Ruth Ware is bringing you another page-turning tale of suspense... Thrilling and clever, The Death of Mrs. Westaway will be hard to put down." --PopSugar "I've adored Ruth Ware's work for some time, ever since I picked up her first playful puzzler of a mystery, In a Dark, Dark Wood. She's been making her way through classic mystery settings, making each her own, and her new volume promises to continue the trend, in a tale of a con artist headed to a family funeral that promises to be the most entertaining fictional British burial since the film Death at a Funeral first graced our screens." --Literary Hub "Ruth Ware continues making a name for herself in the suspense genre with her Agatha Christie-esque novel, The Death of Mrs. Westaway." --Bookpage "Ruth Ware's master storytelling again sets readers on edge." --RT Book Reviews "The best-selling writer of psychological thrillers (In a Dark, Dark Wood and The Woman in Cabin 10) has a new winner... the situation grows increasingly complicated and creepy, Agatha Christie-style." --AARP "Ware, who, with a run of acclaimed thrillers, including The Lying Game (2017), has established herself as one of today's most popular suspense writers, twists the knife quite expertly here... The labyrinth Ware has devised here is much more winding than expected, with reveals even on the final pages... a clever heroine and an atmospheric setting, accented by wisps of meaning that drift from the tarot cards." --Booklist (starred review) "Ware's fourth novel is her best yet, with steadily increasing tension, a complicated twisty mystery, and a sharp, sympathetic heroine who's up to the challenge of solving it... well-crafted, gothic-tinged suspense." --Library Journal (starred review) "Evocative prose, artfully shaded characters, and a creepy, claustrophobic atmosphere keep the pages of this explosive family drama turning." --Publishers Weekly "Ware's novels continue to evoke comparison to Agatha Christie; they certainly have that classic flavor despite the contemporary settings. Expertly paced, expertly crafted." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Ruth Ware is a magician. Her novels--suspenseful, sophisticated, relentlessly compelling--blow the dust off half a dozen crime genres, from Golden Age whodunits to psychological suspense. And The Death of Mrs. Westaway, her latest, is also her best: a dark and dramatic thriller, part murder mystery, part family drama, altogether riveting. More, please, and soon." --A. J.

As the bitter weather of late fall descends on Minneapolis, Detective Nikki Liska is restless, already bored with her new assignment to the cold case squad. She misses the rush of pulling an all-nighter and the sense of urgency of hunting a killer on the loose. Most of all she misses her old partner, Sam Kovac. Kovac is having an even harder time adjusting to Liska's absence but is distracted from his troubles by an especially brutal double homicide: a prominent university professor and his wife, bludgeoned and hacked to death in their home with a ceremonial Japanese samurai sword. Liska's case--the unsolved murder of a decorated sex crimes detective--is less of a distraction: Twenty-five years later, there is little hope for finding the killer who got away. Meanwhile, Minneapolis resident Evi Burke has a life she only dreamed of as a kid in and out of foster care: a beautiful home, a loving family, a fulfilling job. But a danger from her past is stalking her idyllic present, bent on destroying the perfect life she was never meant to have. As the trails of two crimes a quarter of a century apart twist and cross, Kovac and Liska race to find answers before a killer strikes again.

Two great storytellers, one inside and one outside, both at the top of the game. They've put together an undeniably gripping ride through the hidden passageways of power and politics. This book teaches as much as it entertains."--Michael Connelly, #1 bestselling author of the Ballard and Bosch series "Bill Clinton and James Patterson seamlessly craft a heady thriller revealing the razor-thin edge between policy and ambition, politics and patriotism. They provide a front-row seat to the inner workings of our political system, a plot that is frighteningly plausible, and a cast of complex characters--both men and women--who all have their own stake to claim. The result: a fast-paced summer read you'll see on planes, trains, and every beach across the country and around the world."--Walter Mosley, bestselling author of the Easy Rawlins series "The dream team delivers big time . . . Clinton's insider secrets and Patterson's storytelling genius make this the political thriller of the decade."--Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series About The Author Bill Clinton was elected President of the United States in 1992, and he served until 2001.

It's the sort of place where doctors and lawyers and old-money academics live. It's not the sort of place where people get stabbed in the back thirty times with a kitchen knife in their own homes. Someone must have seen something"-- Book Synopsis "Quickly and assuredly, Jewell builds an ecosystem of countervailing suspicions...Tricky, clever, unexpected." --New York Times Book Review "Brace yourself as Jewell stacks up the secrets, then lights a long, slow fuse." --People "A seize-you-by-the-throat thriller and a genuinely moving family drama." --A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window The instant New York Times and #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of the Then She Was Gone delivers another suspenseful page-turner about a shocking murder in a picturesque and well-to-do English town, perfect "for fans of Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, and Luckiest Girl Alive" (Library Journal). Melville Heights is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Bristol, England; home to doctors and lawyers and old-money academics. It's not the sort of place where people are brutally murdered in their own kitchens. But it is the sort of place where everyone has a secret. And everyone is watching you. As the headmaster credited with turning around the local school, Tom Fitzwilliam is beloved by one and all--including Joey Mullen, his new neighbor, who quickly develops an intense infatuation with this thoroughly charming yet unavailable man. Joey thinks her crush is a secret, but Tom's teenaged son Freddie--a prodigy with aspirations of becoming a spy for MI5--excels in observing people and has witnessed Joey behaving strangely around his father. One of Tom's students, Jenna Tripp, also lives on the same street, and she's not convinced her teacher is as squeaky clean as he seems. For one thing, he has taken a particular liking to her best friend and fellow classmate, and Jenna's mother--whose mental health has admittedly been deteriorating in recent years--is convinced that Mr. Fitzwilliam is stalking her. Meanwhile, twenty years earlier, a schoolgirl writes in her diary, charting her doomed obsession with a handsome young English teacher named Mr. Fitzwilliam... In Lisa Jewell's latest brilliant "bone-chilling suspense" (People) no one is who they seem--and everyone is hiding something.

Paris's The Breakdown, the next chilling, propulsive novel from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Behind Closed Doors. Review Quotes "A story with a ratcheting sense of unease -- a tale of friendship and love, sanity and the terrible unravelling of it." --USA Today "B. A. Paris has done it again! The Breakdown is a page-turning thriller that will leave you questioning the family you love, the friends you trust, and even your own mind." --Wendy Walker, author of the USA Today bestselling novel All Is Not Forgotten "In the same vein as the author's acclaimed debut, Behind Closed Doors, this riveting psychological thriller pulls readers into an engrossing narrative in which every character is suspect. With its well-formed protagonists, snappy, authentic dialog, and clever and twisty plot, this is one not to miss." --Library Journal (starred) "This psychological thriller is even harder to put down than Paris' 2016 best-seller debut Behind Closed Doors; schedule reading time accordingly.... With two in a row, Paris moves directly to the thriller A-list." --Booklist (starred) "British author Paris follows her bestselling debut, 2016's Behind Closed Doors, with another first-rate psychological thriller.... Tension quickly builds to a crescendo as Cass's fears...become palpable." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) Praise for Behind Closed Doors "Debut-novelist Paris adroitly toggles between the recent past and the present in building the suspense of Grace's increasingly unbearable situation, as time becomes critical and her possible solutions narrow. This is one readers won't be able to put down." --Booklist (starred review) "Making her smash debut, Paris [keeps] the suspense level high. In the same vein as Gone Girl or Girl on the Train, this is a can't-put-down psychological thriller." --Library Journal (starred review) "This debut is guaranteed to haunt you -- especially if you're about to tie the knot. Paris's thriller asks the question: 'The perfect marriage or the perfect lie?' Jack and Grace, the couple at the center of this totally enthralling novel, are so clearly not what they seem you'll have no choice but to read and read and read until their darkest secrets are revealed. Warning: brace yourself." --Bustle (10 New Thrillers to Read This Summer) "A gripping domestic thriller...the sense of believability and terror that engulfs Behind Closed Doors doesn't waver." --The Associated Press, picked up by The Washington Post "Behind Closed Doors takes a classic tale to a whole new level...This was one of the best and [most] terrifying psychological thrillers I have ever read...each chapter brings you further in, to the point where you feel how Grace must feel. The desperation, the feeling that no one will believe you and yet still wanting to fight because someone you care deeply about will get hurt." --San Francisco Book Review "Paris grabs the reader from the beginning with a powerful and electrifying tale. Behind Closed Doors, a novel sure to make one's skin crawl, also reveals no one truly knows what does go on behind closed doors."--New York Journal of Books "Newlyweds Grace and Jack Angel seem to lead a perfect life in British author Paris's gripping debut, but appearances can be deceiving...Grace's terror is contagious, and Millie's impending peril creates a ticking clock that propels this claustrophobic cat-and-mouse tale toward its grisly, gratifying conclusion." --Publishers Weekly "A frighteningly cool portrait of a serious sadist, Behind Closed Doors is a gripping, claustrophobia-inducing thriller... Read at the risk of running from every handsome British lawyer who crosses your path." --Romantic Times "This book proves that looks are most definitely deceiving...Disturbing, to say the least, readers will definitely be shaken as the story commences and they become immediately absorbed. The writing was incredible, and the pace is quick, offering up too many chills to count...Behind Closed Doors screams: 'Stay single!'" --Suspense Magazine This book just has to be huge in 2016. I flew through it in two breathless sittings. Quite simply: astounding. --S.J.I.

Nuff said. --Women's Health UK It took me just an afternoon to read this book and by the end, my heart was pounding. If you like fast and frantic stories, you'll love this. --The Sun Behind Closed Doors is an intriguing, sharply gripping debut thriller. --Lovereading.co.uk An utterly compelling journey through the darker side of the human psyche.

Book Synopsis #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST AND NPR - Featuring one of John Grisham's most colorful, outrageous, and vividly drawn characters yet, Rogue Lawyer showcases the master of the legal thriller at his very best. On the right side of the law--sort of--Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. His office is a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, and fine leather chairs. He has no firm, no partners, and only one employee: his heavily armed driver, who also so happens to be his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddie. Sebastian drinks small-batch bourbon and carries a gun. He defends people other lawyers won't go near: a drug-addled, tattooed kid rumored to be in a satanic cult; a vicious crime lord on death row; a homeowner arrested for shooting at a SWAT team that mistakenly invaded his house. Why these clients? Because Sebastian believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial--even if he has to bend the law to secure one. Praise for Rogue Lawyer "Terrific . . . inventive . . . Grisham still makes it look easy."--Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post "Sebastian Rudd is . . . a kind of twenty-first-century Philip Marlowe . . . with a blunt, rude, gravelly poetic wiseguy voice."--Benjamin Percy, The New York Times Book Review "Deeply engaging and entertaining . . . [Grisham finds] intense drama in the little skirmishes that play out across our legal system every day."--Charles Finch, USA Today "Grisham has taken a step in an intriguing new direction."--Janet Maslin, The New York Times Review Quotes "Terrific . . . inventive . . .

Tall Premium Edition. Book Synopsis Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology, arrives at the ultramodern Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend the unveiling of a discovery that "will change the face of science forever." The evening's host is Edmond Kirsch, a forty-year-old billionaire and futurist, and one of Langdon's first students. But the meticulously orchestrated evening suddenly erupts into chaos, and Kirsch's precious discovery teeters on the brink of being lost forever. Facing an imminent threat, Langdon is forced to flee. With him is Ambra Vidal, the elegant museum director who worked with Kirsch. They travel to Barcelona on a perilous quest to locate a cryptic password that will unlock Kirsch's secret. Navigating the dark corridors of hidden history and extreme religion, Langdon and Vidal must evade an enemy whose all-knowing power seems to emanate from Spain's Royal Palace. They uncover clues that ultimately bring them face-to-face with Kirsch's shocking discovery...and the breathtaking truth that has long eluded us. Review Quotes Fans of The Da Vinci Code rejoice! Professor Robert Langdon is again solving the mysteries of the universe. --People Magazine A brisk new book that pits creationism against science, and is liable to stir up as much controversy as The Da Vinci Code did. In Origin, the brash futurist Edmond Kirsch comes up with a theory so bold, so daring that, as he modestly thinks to himself in Brown's beloved italics, "It will not shake your foundations. It will shatter them." Kirsch is of course addressing The World, because that's the scale on which Brown writes. Brown and serious ideas: they do fit together, never more than they have in Origin. --Janet Maslin, The New York Times Origin asks the questions Where do we come from? Where are we going? They are questions about humanity--but they could just as easily be questions about Robert Langdon. The Mickey Mouse watch-wearing, claustrophobic, always-near-trouble symbology professor is back in Dan Brown's latest book. And just like he was in his original exploits (Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code), Dr. Langdon is once again wrapped up in a global-scale event that could have massive ramifications on the world's religions. As he does in all his novels, Brown['s] extensive research on art, architecture, and history informs every page. --Entertainment Weekly Entertaining . . . Loyal fans of his globetrotting symbologist Robert Langdon will no doubt be thrilled with the fifth book in the series.--USA Today Dan Brown is once again taking on the big questions: God and science and the future of the world. Origin is a familiar blend of travelogue, history, conspiracies and whodunit, with asides on everything from the poetry of William Blake to the rise and fall of fascism in Spain.--Associated Press The bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code is back with a new book that looks to the future. Origin features many of Brown's signature themes. An evil, Catholic-adjacent cult, in this case the Palmarian Church, is behind some murders. Gems from art history are the key to solving the mystery. [And] if the reader is in it for the thrill and the twist, the faithful will be glad to hear that there's a Da Vinci Code-esque background to Robert Langdon's mission. --The New Republic About The Author DAN BROWN is the author of numerous #1 international bestsellers, including The Da Vinci Code, Inferno, The Lost Symbol, Angels & Demons, Deception Point, and Digital Fortress.

A decade ago, kidnappers grabbed two boys from wealthy families and demanded ransom, then went silent. No trace of the boys ever surfaced. For ten years their families have been left with nothing but painful memories and a quiet desperation for the day that has finally, miraculously arrived: Myron Bolitar and his friend Win believe they have located one of the boys, now a teenager.

And most critically: What can he tell Myron and Win about the fate of his missing friend?

Review Quotes Praise for Home "Coben knows how to play with readers' expectations, and he's crafted another suspenseful and twisty tale. Fans and newcomers alike will feel as if good friends have come home."--Associated Press "The lasting appeal of this series lies in Coben's sympathy for ordinary people who do desperate things when they're swept up in circumstances they can't control."--The New York Times Book Review "Reading Harlan Coben's spectacular Home feels like running into an old friend you haven't seen in years...Coben's latest reminds us not only of his roots but also his mastery of the genre. As structurally flawless as it is stylistically brilliant, Home is everything great storytelling is supposed to be."--Providence Journal "Edgar-winner Coben's action-packed 11th thriller featuring sports agent Myron Bolitar (after 2011's Live Wire) blends family drama with a twisty plot...This page-turner is sure to please Coben's many fans."--Publishers Weekly "Series fans will be happy to see Myron, Win, Esperanza, and other recurring characters...Given the size of Coben's audience, this one is sure to be popular.

While I've read many of Coben's books, I was actually new to the Bolitar series when I was sent a copy of Home. Wow, I am totally hooked! Just when you think you have it all figured out, there's another Coben twist, and believe me when I tell you that he saves the most stunning twist for the very end. It left me with my jaw dropping and with the biggest smile ever as I closed the book."--Joan Lunden More Praise for Harlan Coben "Coben is like a skilled magician saving the best, most stunning trick for the very end."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Fool Me Once"Coben hits the bull's eye again...masterfully paced plotting...a tale guaranteed to fool even the craftiest readers a lot more than once."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on Fool Me Once "Coben proves his thriller mastery once more."--Entertainment Weekly on Fool Me Once "Harlan Coben, master of the suburban thriller, has written another compelling and twist-filled tale with Fool Me Once...The unpredictability of the story will keep readers literally turning the pages to try and figure out what is really going on. Even those savvy enough to figure out some of the ending will not uncover everything, and the whopper of a payoff not only will have jaws dropping, but also demonstrates Coben's skill as a writer."--Associated Press on Fool Me Once "Coben has done it again with this fast-paced, smart thriller."--Library Journal (starred review) on Fool Me Once "Harlan Coben has long been the master of the jaw-dropping twist. But in Fool Me Once, he knocks our legs out from under us as well...Fool Me Once just might be his crowning achievement."--Providence Journal "Harlan Coben is a master of his craft and a wizard with words...Fool Me Once is him at his best and there is no shame in having him trick us one more time. In fact most of us will be begging him to fool us again and again and again."--Jackie K.

Winifred Allen needs a vacation. Stifled by a soul-crushing job, devastated by the death of her beloved brother, and lonely after the end of a fifteen-year marriage, Wini is feeling vulnerable. So when her three best friends insist on a high-octane getaway for their annual girls' trip, she signs on, despite her misgivings. What starts out as an invigorating hiking and rafting excursion in the remote Allagash Wilderness soon becomes an all-too-real nightmare; a freak accident leaves the women stranded, separating them from their raft and everything they need to survive. When night descends, a fire on the mountainside lures them to a ramshackle camp that appears to be their lifeline. But as Wini and her friends grasp the true intent of their supposed saviors, long buried secrets emerge and lifelong allegiances are put to the test. To survive, Wini must reach beyond the world she knows to harness an inner strength she never knew she possessed. With intimately observed characters and visceral prose, The River at Night "will leave you gasping, your heart racing, eyes peering over your shoulder to see what follows from behind" (Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author). This is a dark exploration of creatures--both friend and foe--that you won't soon forget. Review Quotes Praise for The River at Night "A gal-pal vacation goes over the falls and into hell.

"Hawkins is at the forefront of a group of female authors--think Gillian Flynn and Megan Abbott--who have reinvigorated the literary suspense novel by tapping a rich vein of psychological menace and social unease... there's a certain solace to a dark escape, in the promise of submerged truths coming to light." --Vogue A single mother turns up dead at the bottom of the river that runs through town. Earlier in the summer, a vulnerable teenage girl met the same fate. They are not the first women lost to these dark waters, but their deaths disturb the river and its history, dredging up secrets long submerged. Left behind is a lonely fifteen-year-old girl. Parentless and friendless, she now finds herself in the care of her mother's sister, a fearful stranger who has been dragged back to the place she deliberately ran from--a place to which she vowed she'd never return. With the same propulsive writing and acute understanding of human instincts that captivated millions of readers around the world in her explosive debut thriller, The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins delivers an urgent, twisting, deeply satisfying read that hinges on the deceptiveness of emotion and memory, as well as the devastating ways that the past can reach a long arm into the present.

Review Quotes "A captivating contemporary whodunit... suspense churns and the plot keeps you guessing."--People Magazine "Highly suspenseful... all these intrigues are teased out with impressive skill by Ms. Hawkins, who tells a complex narrative... in a chronicle whose final pages yield startling revelations." --The Wall Street Journal "[A] succulent new mystery... Hawkins, influenced by Hitchcock, has a cinematic eye and an ear for eerie, evocative language... So do dive in. The payoff is a socko ending. And a noirish beach read that might make you think twice about dipping a toe in those dark, chilly waters."--USA Today "Addicting... this novel has a little something for anyone looking for their next binge-read." --Marie Claire "Thrilling... we [are] kept guessing until the sobering conclusion." --O Magazine "Mother's Day is coming up.

This time, Hawkins's absorbing and chilling cast of mothers, daughters, and sisters grapples with the implications of memory, exploring what happens when our conflicting recollections of personal histories collide to destroy the present." --Harper's Bazaar "Hawkins weaves another wonderfully twisted mystery."--Coastal Living "Readers will be locked in a guessing game until the unnerving conclusion... It'll give you the most thrills and chills." --Redbook "Page-turner... a thriller that intersects complicated cultural narratives of adolescent sexuality, the often fraught relationships between daughters, mothers and sisters, and the relationship between 'good men' and 'troublesome women.'"--Jezebel "Hawkins has a real gift for exploring the manner in which we constantly turn things over in our minds, crafting inner monologues both rich and relatable... a lively, compelling, and surprisingly empathetic and humane page-turner." --The A.V. Club "Sometimes what we really need is a good thriller. And Paula Hawkins knows how to captivate readers with an enthralling and suspenseful mystery.

Will haunt you long after this book is over." --Bustle "I couldn't resist Hawkins' anxiously awaited second novel ... scary and addictive." --Cup of Jo "Hawkins constructs a bracing, knotty ride in which the ghosts of the past come back to haunt those living in the present." -W Magazine "Hawkins keeps you guessing until the final page." --Real Simple "Arresting... Hawkins is an ambitious writer, inclining to the literary end of the spectrum."--Financial Times "Into the Water" captures all the suspense and terrifying emotions of [The Girl on the Train], but it beams with a maturity in writing and in storytelling that will draw her fans right back over the edge... the novel also flows with an instinctual understanding of relationships, young love, devoted friendships and dedication to duty, familial faults and small-town paranoia." --Minneapolis Star-Tribune "When it comes to tension you could cut with a knife, no one does it better than Hawkins."--New York Post "An elegantly written tale that grips readers like a mighty current, guiding and taking them downriver toward the inevitable rocky ending and breathtaking plot twist in the novel's final pages." --Deseret News "Hawkins is a master of waging emotional warfare among her characters against a backdrop of murder. Into the Water is one to read with the lights on."--SF Weekly "Hawkins returns to the rotating-narration style of her breakout debut, giving voice to an even broader cast this time... Order by the ton." --Booklist (starred review) "Twisty and compulsive...

And when she unearths an even more disturbing secret--a ritual called "The Game"--it will threaten reputations, and lives, in the community and risk exposing a darkness that may consume her. With tantalizing twists, slow-burning suspense, and a remote rural town of just five claustrophobic square miles, Bonfire is a dark exploration of what happens when your past and present collide. Praise for Bonfire "I burned through Krysten Ritter's hugely accomplished debut. Bonfire is dark, disturbing, and compulsively readable."--Ruth Ware, bestselling author of The Woman in Cabin 10 "The Jessica Jones star makes an auspicious literary debut with Bonfire, spinning a suspenseful, psychologically gripping story."--Entertainment Weekly "In this adroit debut the star of Marvel's Jessica Jones proves her talents aren't limited to acting. . . . [Bonfire is] a thriller that delivers suspense, surprise and satisfaction."--People Review Quotes "Krysten Ritter made a name for herself by portraying some of the fiercest female characters in pop culture history. It should come as no surprise, then, that her debut novel carries that same level of strength and complexity on every single page. . . . As Abby confronts her demons one by one, it becomes clear that she's one hell of a complicated lady--and a protagonist that's so damn appealing that it's hard not to read the whole book in one sitting. . . . Brilliant."--PopSugar "[Ritter brings an] unconventional, edgy approach to her engrossing suspense novel, Bonfire. Deliciously moody with a noirish undertone, Bonfire ignites a first-rate mystery resplendent with shadowy scenery, a tight plot and a lead character that is both fragile and strong... The melding of corporate corruption and the personal pollution that Abby endures elevates Bonfire, which blazes uncompromising storytelling and a believable, and shocking, finale. The exciting Bonfire shows that not only can you go home again, sometimes you must - to escape it and reconcile the past."--Associated Press "An expertly plotted page-turner."--Marie Claire "Ritter has written a taut narrative that hinges around a satisfyingly lurid mystery. More than that, though, Ritter has given readers the kind of unforgettable narrator, full of quirks and bad habits and emotions, who is relatable in the best possible ways."--Nylon "Bonfire is a stone-cold stunner--the writing is dazzling, the suspense is creeping, and the story of a woman returning home to face her past is brimming with emotion and truth. An extraordinary debut from a major talent."--Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Recursion and Dark Matter "A vicious years-old small-town scandal makes the perfect backdrop for this gritty, moody mystery that will have readers ripping through the pages at top speed. Bonfire ushers in a bold new voice to the suspense genre. I can't wait to see what Ritter dreams up next."--Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Girl"Actress Ritter makes a triumphant fiction debut with this pulse-pounding thriller featuring a sympathetic, broken lead character. . . . Pitch-perfect."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Ritter, lead actress on television's Jessica Jones, is likely to attract readers with her name, but this strong, gritty debut is good enough to create its own fan following."--Booklist "[Bonfire is] a fast-paced thriller that . . . introduces a tough female lead who's easy to root for."--Kirkus Reviews About The Author KRYSTEN RITTER is well-known for her starring roles in the award-winning Netflix original series Marvel's Jessica Jones and cult favorite Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23, as well as her pivotal role on AMC's Breaking Bad. Ritter's work on film includes Big Eyes, Listen Up Philip, Life Happens, Confessions of a Shopaholic, and She's Out of My League. She is the founder of Silent Machine, a production company that aims to highlight complex female protagonists. Ritter and her dog, Mikey, split their time between New York and Los Angeles.

The darkest and most disturbing case report from the files of Kinsey Millhone, Y begins in 1979, when four teenage boys from an elite private school sexually assault a fourteen-year-old classmate--and film the attack. Not long after, the tape goes missing and the suspected thief, a fellow classmate, is murdered. In the investigation that follows, one boy turns state's evidence and two of his peers are convicted. But the ringleader escapes without a trace. Now it's 1989 and one of the perpetrators, Fritz McCabe, has been released from prison. Moody, unrepentant, and angry, he is a virtual prisoner of his ever-watchful parents--until a copy of the missing tape arrives with a ransom demand. That's when the McCabes call Kinsey Millhone for help. As she is drawn into their family drama, she keeps a watchful eye on Fritz. But he's not the only one being haunted by the past. A vicious sociopath with a grudge against Millhone may be leaving traces of himself for her to find... Review Quotes Praise for Y is for Yesterday "I'm going to miss Kinsey Millhone. Ever since the first of Sue Grafton's Alphabet mysteries, A Is For Alibi, came out in 1982, Kinsey has been a good friend and the very model of an independent woman, a gutsy Californian P.I. rocking a traditional man's job...it's Kinsey herself who keeps this series so warm and welcoming. She's smart, she's resourceful, and she's tough enough to be sensitive on the right occasions."--New York Times Book Review "The consistent quality and skillful innovations in this alphabet series justify all the praise these books have received over the past 35 years."--Wall Street Journal "This will leave readers both relishing another masterful entry and ruing the near-end of this series. Prime Grafton."--Booklist (starred review) "Grafton once again proves herself a superb storyteller."--Publishers Weekly "The series may be coming to a close, but Grafton constructs an intricate plot following two time lines with at least a dozen characters in play while rarely slowing the pace."--Library Journal "The lively, engrossing...Grafton is in sure command of Kinsey's wise-cracking but warm voice and of a many-layered plot that moves back and forth over events of a decade. Y Is For Yesterday might make you wish the alphabet had a few more letters."--Tampa Bay Times-ReviewMore Praise for Sue Grafton and the Alphabet Series"Grafton's endless resourcefulness in varying her pitches in this landmark series, graced by her trademark self-deprecating humor, is one of the seven wonders of the genre."--Kirkus Reviews "Grafton is a writer of many strengths--crisp characterizations, deft plotting, and eloquent dialogue among them--and she has kept her long-running alphabet mystery series fresh and each new release more welcome than the last."--Louisville Courier-Journal "[Grafton's] ability to give equal weight to the story of the detective and the detective story sets her apart in the world of crime fiction."--Richmond Times-Dispatch About The Author #1 New York Times-bestselling author Sue Grafton first introduced Kinsey Millhone in the Alphabet Series in 1982. Soon after, both writer and heroine became icons and international bestsellers. Ms. Grafton was a writer who consistently broke the bonds of genre while never writing the same book twice. Named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America, her awards and honors included the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Private Eye Writers of America, the Ross Macdonald Literary Award, the Cartier Diamond Dagger Award from Britain's Crime Writers' Association, the Lifetime Achievement Award from Malice Domestic, a Lifetime Achievement Award from Bouchercon, three Shamus Awards, and three Anthony Awards--including the first two ever awarded.

She is a lawyer, not a cop, and it is her job to respond to complaints dealing with judicial misconduct.

Praise for The Whistler "[A] main character [who's] a seriously appealing woman . . . a whistle-blower who secretly calls attention to corruption . . . a strong and frightening sense of place . . . [John Grisham's] on his game."--Janet Maslin, The New York Times "[John Grisham is] our guide to the byways and backwaters of our legal system, superb in particular at ferreting out its vulnerabilities and dramatizing their abuse in gripping style."--USA Today "Riveting . . . an elaborate conspiracy."--The New York Times Book Review Review Quotes "Riveting . . . finely drawn . . . The Whistler centers on an elaborate conspiracy involving an Indian reservation, an organized crime syndicate and a crooked judge skimming a small fortune from the tribal casino's monthly haul."--The New York Times Book Review "A main character who's a seriously appealing woman . . . a whistle-blower who secretly calls attention to corruption . . . a strong and frightening sense of place . . . Grisham's on his game."--Janet Maslin, The New York Times"A fascinating look at judicial corruption . . . an entirely convincing story and one of Grisham's best. I can't think of another major American novelist since Sinclair Lewis who has so effectively cartneared social and political ills in our society. In Grisham's case, it is time at least to recognize that at his best he is not simply the author of entertaining legal thrillers but an important novelistic critic of our society. In more than 30 novels, he has often used his exceptional storytelling skills to take a hard look at injustice and corruption in the legal world and in our society as a whole."--Patrick Anderson, The Washington Post "Grisham's latest involves the rich and powerful and an abuse of the justice system. Grisham novels are crowd-pleasers because he knows how to satisfy readers who want to see injustice crushed, and justice truly prevails for those who cannot buy influence."--Associated Press "Grisham has become an institution. For more than 25 years now he's been our guide to the byways and backwaters of our legal system, superb in particular at ferreting out its vulnerabilities and dramatizing their abuse in gripping style. He excels at describing injustice and corruption. Grisham's legal knowledge is impressive, and his ability to convey it unparalleled in popular fiction."--USA Today About The Author John Grisham is the author of more than thirty novels, one work of nonfiction, a collection of stories, and six novels for young readers.

Will Robie and Jessica Reel are two of the most lethal people alive. They're the ones the government calls in when the utmost secrecy is required to take out those who plot violence and mass destruction against the United States. And through every mission, one man has always had their backs: their handler, code-named Blue Man. But now, Blue Man is missing. Last seen in rural Colorado, Blue Man had taken a rare vacation to go fly fishing in his hometown when he disappeared off the grid. With no communications since, the team can't help but fear the worst. Sent to investigate, Robie and Reel arrive in the small town of Grand to discover that it has its own share of problems. A stagnant local economy and a woefully understaffed police force have made this small community a magnet for crime, drugs, and a growing number of militant fringe groups. But lying in wait in Grand is an even more insidious and sweeping threat, one that may shake the very core of America. And when Robie and Reel find themselves up against an adversary with superior firepower and a home-court advantage, they'll be lucky if they make it out alive, with or without Blue Man...

Think The Godfather, only with cops. It's that good." -- Stephen KingThe acclaimed, award-winning, bestselling author of The Cartel--voted one of the Best Books of the Year by more than sixty publications, including the New York Times--returns with a cinematic epic as explosive, powerful, and unforgettable as Mystic River and The Wire.Our ends know our beginnings, but the reverse isn't true . . . All Denny Malone wants is to be a good cop.He is "the King of Manhattan North," a, highly decorated NYPD detective sergeant and the real leader of "Da Force." Malone and his crew are the smartest, the toughest, the quickest, the bravest, and the baddest, an elite special unit given unrestricted authority to wage war on gangs, drugs and guns. Every day and every night for the eighteen years he's spent on the Job, Malone has served on the front lines, witnessing the hurt, the dead, the victims, the perps. He's done whatever it takes to serve and protect in a city built by ambition and corruption, where no one is clean--including Malone himself. What only a few know is that Denny Malone is dirty: he and his partners have stolen millions of dollars in drugs and cash in the wake of the biggest heroin bust in the city's history. Now Malone is caught in a trap and being squeezed by the Feds, and he must walk the thin line between betraying his brothers and partners, the Job, his family, and the woman he loves, trying to survive, body and soul, while the city teeters on the brink of a racial conflagration that could destroy them all. Based on years of research inside the NYPD, this is the great cop novel of our time and a book only Don Winslow could write: a haunting and heartbreaking story of greed and violence, inequality and race, crime and injustice, retribution and redemption that reveals the seemingly insurmountable tensions between the police and the diverse citizens they serve. A searing portrait of a city and a courageous, heroic, and deeply flawed man who stands at the edge of its abyss, The Force is a masterpiece of urban living full of shocking and surprising twists, leavened by flashes of dark humor, a morally complex and utterly riveting dissection of modern American society and the controversial issues confronting and dividing us today.

Review Quotes "The Force is a Seventies-style Sydney-Lumet-directed cop story, dropped into the streets of today, that prove not to be that different, and given an epic sweep." --MysteryPeople Pick of the Month Praise for Don Winslow: "Winslow's drug war version of The Godfather...a big, sprawling, ultimately stunning crime tableau. . . . A magnum opus. . . . Don Winslow is to the Mexican drug wars what James Ellroy is to L.A. Noir."--Janet Maslin, New York Times "The Force is intoxicating....Winslow keeps the surprises coming and the narrative churning.... A literary coup de force."--Tom Mayer, Mountain Times "The Power of the Dog and THE CARTEL, by Don Winslow: I'm totally swept up. You can't ask more for emotionally moving entertainment."--Stephen King on The Cartel "The Shield meets The Departed in Don Winslow's The Force, one of the best cop dramas ever written, and the first novel we've ever scored a perfect 10/10 on our rating scale."--Ryan Steck, TheRealBookSpy.com "THE CARTEL is a gut-punch of a novel. Big, ambitious, violent and widely entertaining, Don Winslow's latest is an absolute must-read."--Harlan Coben on The Cartel "(A) shattering New York cop epic... The pace is kept up by the Winslow way with words, which almost entirely defies being quoted here, either because of the slang (Elmore Leonard league) or because of the everyday obscenities that lace every funny line."--Janet Maslin, New York Times "[Winslow's] prose moves with the power of a locomotive and the precision of a Porsche, making hairpin turns designed to keep adrenaline junkies turning the pages."--Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News "A Game of Thrones of the Mexican drug wars, a multipart, intricately plotted, blood-soaked epic that tells the story of how America's unquenchable appetite for illegal drugs has brought chaos to our southern neighbors and darkened our own political and criminal culture."--Will Dana, Rolling Stone on The Cartel "A brilliant novel, rich in language, conflict, setting, and character. It resonates deeply with realism, honesty, and sheer magnetism. Fans of "The Godfather," "Mystic River," "The Wire," and "The Departed" will absolutely love this book."--Mark Rubinstein, Huffington Post "A compelling, profane, powerful saga... I can't wait for the movie. It's got Scorsese written all over it."--Richard Littlejohn, Daily Mail (UK) "A gut punch of a new cop thriller. . . . Once the author, a former investigator, starts tightening the screws of this by stunning drama, it has you unrelentingly in its grip."--Lloyd Sachs, Chicago Tribune "A mashup of a hundred-dirty cop movies and true-crime exposes, reimagined and repurposed into one indelible storyline. Winslow takes these well-worn themes, bends them to his considerable will and comes up with something fresh... Heartbreakingly beautiful and unforgiving."--Robert Anglen, Arizona Republic "A page-turner that also manages to dive into deeper issues... Yet what truly sets Winslow apart, aside from his gut-punch prose and deep understanding of the criminal worlds he inhabits, is his ability to perceive the greater truth behind the guns and drugs and death."--Stayton Bonner, Rolling Stone "A piercing, profane, morally complex epic."--John Wilkens, San Diego Union-Tribune "A scorcher."--New York Times Book Review "A superlative cop thriller....The Force can be seen as a meticulously researched nonfiction book in fictional disguise: every scene adds another detail to its panoramic picture of a criminal justice system permeated by corruption, cronyism and lies."--John Dugdale, Sunday Times (London) "Breathtaking... Packed with detail and told with majestic prose... This is without question among the finest ever police novels."--Geoffrey Wansell, Daily Mail (UK) "Caught between the desperation of the poor and the cynicism of the rich the lead character of Don Winslow's The Force embodies the searing conflicts that define 21st century New York. The boom shrewdly suggest damnation can be a form of salvation for a man and even a city."--Nelson George "Clearly one of the most ambitious and most accomplished crime novels to appear in the last 15 years, THE CARTEL will likely retain that distinction even as the twenty-first century grinds on."--Bill Ott, Booklist on The Cartel "Don Winslow delivers his longest and finest novel yet in THE CARTEL. This is the War and Peace of dopewar books. Tense, brutal, wildly atmospheric, stunningly plotted, deeply etched."--James Ellroy on The Cartel "Don Winslow is one of the most durable and important voices in American crime fiction. His examinations of character and corruption turn the narco wars into a relentless, bloody opera."--Nic Pizzolatto, Creator, Writer and Executive Producer of HBO's True Detective on The Cartel "Don Winslow's THE CARTEL is the most important crime saga of the millennium...This is reporting and expose built around an intricate plot, finely etched characters and whip-crack dialogue. Storytelling that matters."--Robert Anglen, Arizona Republic on The Cartel "Don Winslow's intoxicating new crime thriller, The Force is a riveting ride-along with the Manhattan North Special Task Force, an elite NYPD unit... As in The Cartel, a poignant non-fiction baseline threads through this novel, leaving readers to wonder how much of it is tragically true."--Don Oldenburg, USA Today "Don Winslow's novel The Force isn't just one of the great New York City cop novels ever written. It is one of the great New York City novels ever written."--Mike Lupica, New York Daily News "Don Winslow's summer blockbuster, The Force, is ready-made for Hollywood... A big, fat book of fast-moving fiction... Riveting and scary -- in a lot of ways."--Neely Tucker, Washington Post "Don Winslow's New York copy novel The Force is a scorcher, and if his sources are on the level it's time for another Knapp Commission."--Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review "Don Winslow's The Force is the best book of 2017 so far, period. Did you ever read a book you had a sense was going to become a classic? That's what Don Winslow's had me thinking well before I flipped the last page."--Jon Land, Providence Journal "High-octane...The righteous indignation that fuels Winslow's tale of cops, cartels, and the near-apocalyptic havoc they can create is addictive."--Clark Collis, Entertainment Weekly on The Cartel "Hugely hypnotic new thriller...the pace and feel of an exploded documentary...a brilliant and informative work of fiction about a nightmare world that flourishes in the bright light of day."--Alan Cheuse, NPR Books on The Cartel "If you read only one crime novel this summer, it is going to have to be "The Force" by award-winning veteran writer Don Winslow."--C.F. Foster, Florida Times-Union "Incendiary.... Winslow is a master at exposing how corruption and bureaucracy strangle well-intentioned law enforcement, and he doesn't shy away from issues of race, culture, poverty and the dark economics on which a city thrives."--Connie Ogle, Miami Herald "It's one of the most daring and explosive books of summer, grabbing readers by the front of the shirt and dragging them into a world where honor and wrongdoing are mismatched partners... (It has) a sardonic, streetwise voice -- like a pissed off conscience, telling a cautionary tale."--Anthony Breznican, Entertainment Weekly "It's rare for a writer to produce two career-defining masterpieces back-to-back, but that's exactly what Winslow has done.... Winslow has created what will likely become our quintessential cop novel, looking both at what cops do right and wrong with clear-eyed realism and passionate humanity."--Booklist (starred review) "Just fantastic. Like can't-put-it-down, can't-get-the-voices-out-of-your-head fantastic. An instant classic, an epic, a goddamn Wagner opera... basically Game of Thrones without the dragons. The Wars of the Roses played out with New York City cops and robbers."--Jason Sheehan, NPR "Magnificent... muscular and lyrical, free-flowing and complex, it delivers punch-in-the-guts plot twists."--Marcel Berlines, The Times (UK) "Mesmerizing, a triumph. Think The Godfather, only with cops. It's that good."--Stephen King "Nobody exposes the underbelly of American society like Don Winslow - a modern master who holds up a mirror to New York policing, showing the bravery, loyalty, honour and corruption."--Michael Robotham, Bestselling Author of Life or Death "Nobody understands the disaster of corruption better than Don Winslow. The Force exposes the dawning horror of how it eats into the best intentions." --Val McDermid, #1 Bestselling Author of Out of Bounds "Once every few years, a book comes along that stands head and shoulders above its genre. Dennis Lehane's Mystic River was one; Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy... was another. Don Winslow's The Force... is such a book."--Bruce Tierney, BookPage "Part The Godfather, part The Wire, The Force is a Molotov cocktail of cops and corruption, where good guys are also bad guys, and police malfeasance isn't just about skimming money off drug busts--it's about ... the corruption that comes when trying to do the right thing."--Abigail Jones, Newsweek "Riding high on the acclaim from his 2015 novel, The Cartel ... Winslow turns to the streets of New York in this dark novel about an NYPD special task force led by Denny Malone, whose brother died as a first responder on 9/11."--Tom Beer, Newsday best summer books "Secures Winslow's place beside the likes of Richard Price, Dennis Lehane, Daniel Woodrell, George Pelecanos, Thomas H. Cook, and James Ellroy - writers who have turned the American crime novel into major works of literature."--Bruce DeSilva's Rogue Island on The Force "Sensationally good, even after the near-perfection of The Power of the Dog. Less of a sequel than an integral part of a solid-gold whole."--Lee Child on The Cartel "Shocking authenticity is the lifeblood of Don Winslow's The Force. I stopped everything I was doing to read it straight through. Detective Sergeant Denny Malone takes us on a searing journey through the corruption that lies at the heart of our justice system. I wish I'd written it!"--Greg Iles, author of Mississippi Blood "So smoking hot that this reviewer kept imagining that the pages were blistering and that there was steam rising up from the cover... If you read just one book this summer, make it The Force."--Vick Mickunas, Dayton Daily News "Sprawling and visceral."--Financial Times (UK) "Supercop and Everycop, Malone symbolizes the conflicts that corrode -- and, Mr. Winslow suggests, often define -- today's policing. This book is about the intersection of greed and need... The Force is gripping... magisterial and raw."--Carlo Wolff, Pittsburg Post-Gazette "The author brings an intoxicating combination of passion, authenticity and grandeur to the crime thriller, expanding the very limits of the form... Riveting, infuriating, and ultimately deeply moving."--Bilge Ebiri, Village Voice "The immersion into the world of the NYPD is so brutal and honest that it's difficult to imagine that Winslow was never a policeman."--Jeff Ayers, Washington Post "The plot... shines with looks deep inside New York City, inside racial strains, inside institutional turf wars - and inside a cop's conscience.... The best damned crime book so far this year."--Harry Levins, St. Louis Post-Dispatch "The pressure on Malone becomes so intense it makes Henry Hill's paranoia in "Good Fellas" look like a mild case of OCD... What makes The Force unique among police procedurals is that it's not the story of a rogue cop with a code... but a sneakily subversive post-Ferguson thriller."--Jim Ruland, Los Angeles Times "There won't be a better cop novel this year than The Force by Don Winslow. Not next year, or the year after that, either." --Linwood Barclay "Winslow brings incisively-researched details, gut-wrenching plotlines, and infinite heart to his all-too-real, highly compassionate tale."--Daneet Steffens, Boston Globe "Winslow has delivered two of the most emotionally resonant novels in the past decade, The Power of the Dog and its epic conclusion, THE CARTEL...his rapid-fire story hits you like bullets from an AK-47."--Ivy Pochoda, Los Angeles Times on The Cartel "Winslow is the most fearless chronicler of the chaos and violence along the U.S.-Mexico border...who has written what could be the War and Peace of the War on Drugs."--Erik Hedegaard, Men's Journal on The Cartel "Winslow peers into the soul of modern America through the eyes of a supremely skilled and corrupt police officer, in this epic novel of devastating moral complexity."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Winslow spent years researching this novel, and it shows....A superb crime novel.... Exciting, entertaining and enlightening."--Paul Davis, Washington Times "Winslow's drug war version of The Godfather...a big, sprawling, ultimately stunning crime tableau...A magnum opus...Don Winslow is to the Mexican drug wars what James Ellroy is to L.A. Noir."--Janet Maslin, New York Times on The Cartel "Winslow's writing, with its torrents of profane, single-sentence paragraphs, is as potent as ever."--Michael Pucci,

The New York Times labeled his work Grisham-style intrigue and Turow-style brooding. Now he delivers a gut-wrenching, heart-stopping thriller no reader will soon forget. There was nothing but time at the Iron Mountain Home for Boys, time for two orphans to learn that life is neither painless nor won without a fight. Julian survives only because his older brother, Michael, is both feared and fiercely protective. When an older boy is brutally killed, Michael makes the ultimate sacrifice to protect his brother: He flees the orphanage and takes the blame with him. For two decades, Michael thrives on the streets of New York, eventually clawing his way to a world of wealth, fear and respect. But the life he's fought to build unravels when he meets a woman who knows nothing of his past or sins. He wants a fresh start with Elena, the chance to build a family of his own. But a life in organized crime is not so easily abandoned. With a price on his head and everyone he loves at risk, Michael spirits Elena back to North Carolina, to the brother he'd lost and a thicket of intrigue more dense than he could possibly imagine. In a tour de force narrative of violence, hope and redemption, the brothers must return to the Iron House of their childhood, to the place that almost broke them, the place it all began. Praise for John Hart Lean, hard and absolutely riveting, Iron House is a tour de force. -- #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Vince Flynn Vividly beautiful, graphic, will make you bleed.-- #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Patricia Cornwell A magnificent creation, Huck Finn channeled through Lord of the Flies. -Washington Post on The Last Child Gripping. A must-read. --Chicago Sun-Times on Down River The King of Lies moves and reads like a book on fire. -- Pat Conroy Review Quotes "If you crave thrillers that are vividly beautiful, graphic, will make you bleed, try John Hart." --Patricia Cornwell "Lean, hard and absolutely riveting, Iron House is a tour de force. With his best book yet, John Hart has clearly joined the top rank of thriller writers." --Vince Flynn "It isn't as if Hart's career needed jump-starting. His first three stand-alone thrillers have been greeted by an ever-growing crescendo of praise, including two Edgar Awards. Definitely not the kind of writer who needs a breakthrough book. And, yet, Iron House lifts Hart to an altogether new level of excellence.... The present-time plot--disaffected Mob hit man on the run, trying to carve a new life without endangering those he loves--makes a superb thriller on its own (steadily building tension, magnificently choreographed fight scenes, including a High Noon-like finale), but it's what Hart does with the backstory that gives the novel its beyond-genre depth. Like the great Peter Hoeg in Borderliners (1994), Hart uses the familiar story of mistreatment in an orphanage as a way into the inner lives of his characters, and the blind fear, abject confusion, and yearning for love he finds there are both heartbreaking and curiously hopeful, in an almost postapocalyptic way. An unforgettable novel from a master of popular fiction." --Booklist, starred review "This rich, impressive contemporary thriller from two-time Edgar-winner Hart (The Last Child) focuses on two brothers, Michael and Julian, both raised and abused at the Iron House of the title, an orphanage in the mountains of North Carolina.... Hart deftly interweaves a complex family history story with Stevan's intense, bloody quest for vengeance.... [The book's] powerful themes and its beautiful prose will delight Hart's fans--and should earn him many new ones." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "A magnificent creation...Huck Finn channeled through Lord of the Flies." --THE WASHINGTON POST on The Last Child "A rare accomplishment--a compelling, fast-paced thriller written with a masterful, literary touch." --Jeffery Deaver on The Last Child "If you haven't read John Hart...you ought to." --NEW YORK DAILY NEWS on The Last Child "This generation's Pat Conroy." --THE PROVIDENCE JOURNAL on The Last Child "Settles the question of whether thrillers and mysteries can also be literature." --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review) on Down River "There are few books published that can legitimately be called a 'must-read, ' but this is one of them." --CHICAGO SUN-TIMES on Down River "A beautifully constructed story of personal redemption, family secrets, and murder--a small-town epic...." --BOOKLIST on Down River "Grisham-style intrigue and Turow-style brooding." --THE NEW YORK TIMES on King of Lies "A top-notch debut, Hart's prose is like Raymond Chandler's, angular and hard." --ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY (Grade A) on King of Lies "[An] ambitious debut thriller...a gripping performance." --PEOPLE on King of Lies About The Author John Hart is the author of four New York Times bestsellers, including The King of Lies, Down River and The Last Child.

Book Synopsis On the right side of the law. Sort of. Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. He works out of a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, fine leather chairs, a hidden gun compartment, and a heavily armed driver. He has no firm, no partners, no associates, and only one employee, his driver, who's also his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddy. He lives alone in a small but extremely safe penthouse apartment, and his primary piece of furniture is a vintage pool table. He drinks small-batch bourbon and carries a gun. Sebastian defends people other lawyers won't go near: a drug-addled, tattooed kid rumored to be in a satanic cult, who is accused of molesting and murdering two little girls; a vicious crime lord on death row; a homeowner arrested for shooting at a SWAT team that mistakenly invaded his house. Why these clients? Because he believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial, even if he, Sebastian, has to cheat to secure one. He hates injustice, doesn't like insurance companies, banks, or big corporations; he distrusts all levels of government and laughs at the justice system's notions of ethical behavior. Sebastian Rudd is one of John Grisham's most colorful, outrageous, and vividly drawn characters yet. Gritty, witty, and impossible to put down, Rogue Lawyer showcases the master of the legal thriller at his very best. Review Quotes Terrific...Grisham, can still devise distinctive characters, tricky legal predicaments and rogueishly cheating ways to worm out of them.--Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post Sebastian Rudd is a kind of social justice warrior and Grisham uses him to take jabs at the legal system...all with a blunt, rude, gravelly poetic wise guy voice that makes Rudd come across as a kind of 21st-century Philip Marlowe.--Benjamin Percy, The New York Times Book Review About The Author JOHN GRISHAM is the author of twenty-seven novels, one work of nonfiction, a collection of stories, and five novels for young readers. www.jgrisham.com www.facebook.com/JohnGrisham

In 1876, in a mining camp called Roaring Fork in the Colorado Rockies, eleven miners were killed by a rogue grizzly bear. Corrie Swanson has arranged to examine the miners' remains. When she makes a shocking discovery, town leaders try to stop her from exposing their community's dark and bloody past. Just as Special Agent Pendergast of the FBI arrives to rescue his protege, the town comes under siege by a murderous arsonist who-with brutal precision-begins burning down multimillion-dollar mansions with the families locked inside. Drawn deeper into the investigation, Pendergast discovers a long-lost Sherlock Holmes story that may be the key to solving both the mystery of the long-dead miners and the modern-day killings as well. Now, with the ski resort snowed in and under savage attack-and Corrie's life suddenly in grave danger-Pendergast must solve the enigma of the past before the town of the present goes up in flames. Review Quotes "Pendergast--an always-black-clad pale blond polymath, gaunt yet physically deadly, an FBI agent operating without supervision or reprimand--lurks at the dark, sharp edge of crime fiction protagonists."--Kirkus Reviews "A mile-a-minute thriller with a deeply entertaining plot and marvelous characters, in a setting that will chill your blood, and not only because it's 10 degrees below zero and covered with snow. My copy is full of crumbs because I couldn't put it down long enough to eat."--Diana Gabaldon "Another highly entertaining and genuinely thrilling story from Preston & Child starring their romantic, faintly gothic, and always mysterious FBI agent, Aloysius Pendergast. As always the prose is elegant, replete with exquisite descriptions, and this time we're treated to dashes of historic characters Conan Doyle and Oscar Wilde, as well as a positively delicious serving of the great Sherlock Holmes. Through myriad shocks, surprises, twists and turns, the suspense never lets up. Great fun to the last page."--Anne Rice "Preston and Child continue their dominance of the thriller genre with stellar writing and twists that come at a furious pace. Others may try to write like them, but no one can come close. The best in the business deliver another winner."--RT Book Reviews on Cold Vengeance "This is no dream; it's the authors' best book in years. Pendergast has to rein in his feelings to pay attention to the details, and it's fun to see the role reversal between him and the usually emotional D'Agosta. Not to be missed by either newcomers or die-hard fans."--Library Journal (starred review) for Fever Dream "Preston and Child have created a terrific mix of mystery and the unexpected that will keep you reading into the late hours of the night. They promise a great read and they have delivered."--Clive Cussler "WHITE FIRE is as incandescent as its title, a beautifully organized, tautly paced book that really did just yank me in and demand that I keep reading. I'm very grateful for the experience."--Peter Straub About The Author The thrillers of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child "stand head and shoulders above their rivals" (Publishers Weekly). Preston and Child's Relic and The Cabinet of Curiosities were chosen by readers in a National Public Radio poll as being among the one hundred greatest thrillers ever written, and Relic was made into a number-one box office hit movie. They are coauthors of the famed Pendergast series and their recent novels include Fever Dream, Cold Vengeance, Two Graves, and Gideon's Corpse. In addition to his novels, Preston writes about archaeology for the New Yorker and Smithsonian magazines.

The request seems odd, even intrusive--and for the two women who answer, the consequences are devastating. EMMA Reeling from a traumatic break-in, Emma wants a new place to live. But none of the apartments she sees are affordable or feel safe. Until One Folgate Street. The house is an architectural masterpiece: a minimalist design of pale stone, plate glass, and soaring ceilings. But there are rules. The enigmatic architect who designed the house retains full control: no books, no throw pillows, no photos or clutter or personal effects of any kind. The space is intended to transform its occupant--and it does. JANE After a personal tragedy, Jane needs a fresh start. When she finds One Folgate Street she is instantly drawn to the space--and to its aloof but seductive creator. Moving in, Jane soon learns about the untimely death of the home's previous tenant, a woman similar to Jane in age and appearance. As Jane tries to untangle truth from lies, she unwittingly follows the same patterns, makes the same choices, crosses paths with the same people, and experiences the same terror, as the girl before.

FBI Special Agent Kate O'Hare is known for her fierce dedication and discipline on the job, chasing down the world's most wanted criminals and putting them behind bars. Her boss thinks she is tenacious and ambitious; her friends think she is tough, stubborn, and maybe even a bit obsessed. And while Kate has made quite a name for herself for the past five years the only name she's cared about is Nicolas Fox--an international crook she wants in more ways than one. Audacious, handsome, and dangerously charming, Nicolas Fox is a natural con man, notorious for running elaborate scams on very high-profile people. At first he did it for the money. Now he does it for the thrill. He knows that the FBI has been hot on his trail--particularly Kate O'Hare, who has been watching his every move. For Nick, there's no greater rush than being pursued by a beautiful woman . . . even one who aims to lock him up. But just when it seems that Nicolas Fox has been captured for good, he pulls off his greatest con of all: He convinces the FBI to offer him a job, working side by side with Special Agent Kate O'Hare. Problem is, teaming up to stop a corrupt investment banker who's hiding on a private island in Indonesia is going to test O'Hare's patience and Fox's skill. Not to mention the skills of their ragtag team made up of flamboyant actors, wanted wheelmen, and Kate's dad.

A police officer utilizing her paranormal intuition, Angela Hawkins already has her hands full of mystery and bloodshed. But one assignment calls to them too strongly to resist.

Book Synopsis When a convicted killer is saved by another man's confession, Amos Decker, now an FBI special task force detective, must find the truth in this "utterly absorbing" #1 New York Times bestseller (Associated Press). Convicted murderer Melvin Mars is counting down the last hours before his execution--for the violent killing of his parents twenty years earlier--when he's granted an unexpected reprieve. Another man has confessed to the crime. Amos Decker, newly hired on an FBI special task force, takes an interest in Mars's case after discovering the striking similarities to his own life: Both men were talented football players with promising careers cut short by tragedy. Both men's families were brutally murdered. And in both cases, another suspect came forward, years after the killing, to confess to the crime. A suspect who may or may not have been telling the truth. The confession has the potential to make Melvin Mars--guilty or not--a free man. Who wants Mars out of prison? And why now? But when a member of Decker's team disappears, it becomes clear that something much larger--and more sinister--than just one convicted criminal's life hangs in the balance. Decker will need all of his extraordinary brainpower to stop an innocent man from being executed. Review Quotes "A compelling mystery with emotional resonance. Just when the story line heads to what seems an obvious conclusion, Baldacci veers off course with a surprising twist. The end result is another exciting read from a thriller master."--Library Journal (Starred Review) "Baldacci excels at developing interesting, three-dimensional protagonists...Baldacci fans will not be disappointed, and The Last Mile gives good reason to look forward to the next Amos Decker thriller."--New York Journal of Books "Entertaining and enlightening, The Last Mile is a rich novel that has much to offer...In the best Baldacci tradition, the action is fast and furious. But The Last Mile is more than a good action thriller. It sheds light on racism, a father-son relationship and capital punishment. Both Mars and Decker are substantive, solid characters....Utterly absorbing."--Associated Press "The intricate details in Baldacci's explosive new novel engage until the final word. He's hit the pinnacle traveling the Deep South and exploring its traditions. Decker and his compatriots are characters to remember long after reading this impressive undertaking."--RT Book Reviews (4 1/2 stars - Top Pick!) "[Amos Decker is] one of the most unique protagonists seen in thriller fiction....David Baldacci has always been a top-notch thriller writer ...[his] fertile imagination and intricate plotting abilities make each of his books a treat for thriller readers.
