In this standalone fantasy novel by an award-winning author, the dark truth behind a string of unusual murders leads to an otherworldly exploration of spirits, myth, and memory, steeped in Caribbean storytelling.
 
Dr. Miranda Ecouvo, forensic therapist of the City, just helped put a serial killer behind bars. But she soon discovers that her investigation into seven unusual murders is not yet complete. A near-death experience throws her out of time and into a realm of labyrinths and spirits. There, she encounters brothers Chance and the Trickster, who have an otherworldly interest in the seemingly mundane crimes from her files. 

It appears the true mastermind behind the murders is still on the loose, chasing a myth to achieve immortality. Together, Miranda, Chance, and the Trickster must travel through conjured mazes, following threads of memory to locate the shadowy killer. As they journey deeper, they discover even more questions that will take pain and patience to answer. What is the price of power? Where is the path to redemption? And how can they stop the man--or monster--who would kill the innocent to live forever?

A Lydia Chin/Bill Smith Novel

In the latest mystery from S. J. Rozan, Bill Smith and Lydia Chin must track down a serial killer stalking women in New York's contemporary art scene.

Former client Sam Tabor, just out of Greenhaven after a five-year homicide stint, comes to Bill Smith with a strange request. A colossally talented painter whose parole was orchestrated by art world movers and shakers, Sam's convinced that since he's been out he's killed two women. He doesn't remember the killings but he wants Smith, one of the few people he trusts, to investigate and prove him either innocent or guilty.

NYPD detective Angela Grimaldi thinks Sam's "a weirdo." Smith has no argument with that: diagnosed with a number of mental disorders over the years, Sam self-medicates with alcohol, loses focus (except when he's painting), and has few friends. But Smith doesn't think that adds up to serial killer. He enlists Lydia Chin to help prove it.

Smith and Chin delve into the world surrounding Sam Tabor, including his brother, two NYPD detectives, and various other artists, dealers, collectors, curators, and art connoisseurs. No answers appear. Evidence is found and lost again. And more bodies turn up.

Sam Tabor might be just a crazy artist. But someone is killing people in his orbit. If not Sam, who? Why? And who will be next?

Both cold cases involve women named Susan strangled on the same day, one year apart. Last seen alive in one of Minneapolis’s poorest neighborhoods, their bodies are each dumped in one of the city’s wealthiest areas.

November is television sweeps month, and every rating point counts at Channel 3.

When Riley suspects the killer has moved personal items from one victim to the next as part of an elaborate ritual, she stages a bold on-air stunt to draw him out and uncovers a motive that will leave readers breathless.

The Hunt for a Victorian Era Serial Killer

“A tour de force of storytelling.” —Louise Penny, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Chief Inspector Gamache series “Jobb’s excellent storytelling makes the book a pleasure to read.” —The New York Times Book Review ”When a doctor does go wrong he is the first of criminals,” Sherlock Holmes observed during one of his most baffling investigations. “He has nerve and he has knowledge.” In the span of fifteen years, Dr. Thomas Neill Cream murdered as many as ten people in the United States, Britain, and Canada, a death toll with almost no precedent. Poison was his weapon of choice. Largely forgotten today, this villain was as brazen as the notorious Jack the Ripper. Structured around the doctor’s London murder trial in 1892, when he was finally brought to justice, The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream exposes the blind trust given to medical practitioners, as well as the flawed detection methods, bungled investigations, corrupt officials, and stifling morality of Victorian society that allowed Dr. Cream to prey on vulnerable and desperate women, many of whom had turned to him for medical help. Dean Jobb transports readers to the late nineteenth century as Scotland Yard traces Dr. Cream’s life through Canada and Chicago and finally to London, where new investigative tools called forensics were just coming into use, even as most police departments still scoffed at using science to solve crimes. But then, most investigators could hardly imagine that serial killers existed—the term was unknown. As the Chicago Tribune wrote, Dr. Cream’s crimes marked the emergence of a new breed of killer: one who operated without motive or remorse, who “murdered simply for the sake of murder.” For fans of Erik Larson’s The Devil in the White City, all things Sherlock Holmes, or the podcast My Favorite Murder, The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream is an unforgettable true crime story from a master of the genre.

A Thriller

Do you want to know what it's like to die, to kill, to really fear for your life? Then get hooked...

Detroit-based homicide detective John Barnes has seen it all--literally. Thanks to a technologically advanced machine, detectives have access to the memories of the living, the dying, and the recently dead. But extracting victims' experiences firsthand and personally reliving everything up to the final, brutal moments of their lives--the sights, the sounds, the scents, the pain--is also the punishment reserved for the criminals themselves.

Barnes has had enough. Enough of the memories that aren't his. Enough of the horror. Enough of the voices inside his head that were never meant to take root...until a masked serial killer known as Calavera strikes a little too close to home.

Now, with Calavera on the loose, Barnes is ready to reconnect, risking his life--and his sanity. Because in the mind of this serial killer, there is one secret even Barnes has yet to see...

Assisting a hysterical woman who claims she was forced to commit murder, serial killer expert Dr. Charlotte Stone, remembering a similar claim by a mental patient, reluctantly taps her psychic powers to uncover the work of a sadistic serial killer while struggling with torn feelings between her murderous ghost lover and special agent Tony Bartoli.

The Last Kiss Goodbye

cc2e153a-ffe8-4863-be80-c8f0f6b22b76-1

In the thrilling new novel of paranormal romance from New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards, serial killer expert Dr. Charlotte "Charlie" Stone may lose the one thing she never thinks she'll miss: the dangerously sexy ghost who follows her wherever she goes. THE LAST TIME I SAW HER In this world, Dr. Charlotte Stone skillfully probes the minds of incarcerated serial killers to better understand what makes them tick and catch those who remain at large. But in the next world, Charlotte's ghostly lover--executed killer Michael Garland--is facing death yet again: the ultimate annihilation of his soul, from which there is no return. Now, the only way Charlie can snatch Michael from the jaws of oblivion is by proving his innocence. And the dead man's dead ringer may just be the key. A mysterious stranger has turned up in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, and Charlie is shocked to see that the man could be Michael Garland's identical twin. But something tells her the resemblance is only skin deep--and behind the handsome face lurks the twisted mind of the real Southern Slasher, whose heinous crimes sent Michael to death row. Using all her keen profiling gifts, Charlie intends to draw the truth out of him, whoever he is. Then a breakout at Wallens Ridge State Prison forces Charlie to contend with a sudden swarm of psychopaths bent on spilling blood. No one has a better chance of tracking down the deadly fugitives than Charlie--unless the rampaging killers manage to find her first and make this case her last. But Michael will move heaven and hell--and even make a devil's bargain--for the chance to save Charlie's life, and feel her touch once more . . . maybe for the final time. Praise for Karen Robards "One of the most popular voices in women's fiction."--Newsweek "Draw a line between two extremely popular genres, mysteries and romance novels, and in the middle you will find the bestselling Robards. She merges the two worlds like no one else, deftly interlacing plot and passion."--Albany Times Union Praise for The Last Victim "Excellent . . . This story is going to haunt you."--Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The Last Kiss Goodbye "This suspense tale will truly have you on the edge of your seat."--RT Book Reviews Her Last Whisper "An absolute winner . . . explodes with both passion and mystery . . . providing both thrills and chills."--Bookreporter

"In the past three months, three brutal murders were committed in the ritzy area of west Los Angeles--each one on the night of the full moon. Lt. Luis Cordova is heading a special undercover task force in search of the killer before he can strike again. And he finds him! Roberto Salazar, a gardener working in the wealthy neighborhood, is idling in his truck waiting for the work day to begin when the police search his truck and find a startling piece of evidence. Public Defender Jessica Thompson is stunned at the news. Just a month earlier she had successfully defended Roberto when he was charged with transporting stolen goods. This man has a spotless record. He is happily married with children. He is a lay minister and a devoted youth counselor. Could such a well-respected man have fooled them all? Jessica is determined to learn the truth: Is this a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or did Jessica put a vicious serial killer back out on the streets?"--Description from www.amazon.com.
