A Totally Gripping Mystery Thriller

The darkness closed around her. She tried to clear her vision, but there was no light, no noise, nothing. Only the emptiness, the echoing sound of being alone. Fear pulsed through her. The man had come out of nowhere. Who was he? Blinking away tears of frustration, in the pitch black she felt the floor and walls surrounding her. Cold. Steel. Bars.




Detective Ellie Reeves heads into the wilds of the Appalachian Mountains when she wants to get lost--to forget the whispers chasing her and the past that keeps her up at night. She's sick of having to prove herself to her small town.




But hiking in the endless miles of woods isn't the escape she was hoping for. One night, as dusk falls, a gust of wind blows some petals on to Ellie's path. Following the trail, she finds a golden-haired young woman dead on a bed of daffodils, with a note: Monday's child is fair of face.




When Ellie emerges from the forest, there is a message on her phone. Someone has sent her a picture of her colleague, Officer Shondra Eastwood, with the words: Can you find her, Detective Reeves? Ellie is racked with guilt--while she was busy hiding from life a killer was on the loose, and he has taken her beloved friend.




The wilderness, and its shadows, are the perfect hunting ground for a criminal--but what does the sinister nursery rhyme mean? It soon becomes clear when another dead woman, Tuesday's Child, is found.




Ellie is up against a serial killer who will claim a victim for every day of the week, and in the next twenty-four hours there will be another body. As this ruthless murderer closes in on her, can she save more innocent women--and Shondra--from his clutches? Or will he get to Ellie first?




An utterly gripping and completely breathless crime thriller for fans of Lisa Regan, Kendra Elliot and Melinda Leigh. You'll have trouble falling asleep after this heart-pounding page-turner!

They Said She Couldn't Catch A Serial Killer

"FBI Special Agent Jay (nee Janet) Fletcher is very good at what she does. An agency hacker, Jay can use computers to find out anything about anybody - but she doesn't always go through the proper channels. When Jay blows a murder case by obtaining evidence before she gets a warrant, she's bounced from D.C. to Santa Fe, where helping out on an arson detail is supposed to keep her out of trouble. Missing the power, the thrill, of her old assignment, she practices using her computer tracking system on an ongoing investigation into Santa Fe's own serial killer. To her amazement, her system works - and this time she meets the killer in person, not just on-line. When she discovers that the murderer is hooked into a secret network of people - gruesome killers like himself - who play an all-too realistic computer simulation game, she embarks on a personal quest that takes her far beyond the safe boundaries marked by warrants, Bureau procedure, and due process." "Jay's presence on the network has alerted the man who invented this grisly game - a serial killer the Bureau has been hunting for nearly twenty years. Jay and this killer move ever closer toward a shattering confrontation, with Jay's former colleagues close behind them, in one of the most exciting and thought-provoking thrillers to come along in years."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Michael Palmer

With every one of his ten novels a New York Times bestseller, emergency medicine physician Michael Palmer is recognized by critics and fans worldwide as a master of medical suspense. Now Palmer delivers a relentless thriller that slices to our deepest fears with surgical precision—a tale as timely as it is terrifying, as harrowing as it is plausible. Welcome to The Society. At the headquarters of Boston’s Eastern Quality Health, the wealthy and powerful CEO is brutally murdered. She’s not the first to die—nor the last. A vicious serial killer is on the loose and the victims have one thing in common: they are all high-profile executives in the managed care industry. Dr. Will Grant is an overworked and highly dedicated surgeon. He has experienced firsthand the outrages of a system that cares more about the bottom line than about the life-and-death issues of patients. As a member of the Hippocrates Society, Will seeks to reclaim the profession of medicine from the hundreds of companies profiting wildly by controlling the decisions that affect the delivery of care. But the doctor’s determination has attracted a dangerous zealot who will stop at nothing to make Will his ally. Soon Will is both a suspect and a victim, a pawn in a deadly endgame. Then, in one horrible moment, Will’s professional and personal worlds are destroyed and his very life placed in peril. Rookie detective Patty Moriarity is in danger of being removed from her first big case—the managed care killings. To save her career, she has no choice but to risk trusting Will, knowing he may well be the killer she is hunting. Together they have little to go on except the knowledge that the assassin is vengeful, cunning, ruthless—and may not be working alone. That—and a cryptic message that grows longer with each murder: a message Grant and Moriarity must decipher if they don’t want to be the next victims.

In the nonfiction tradition of John Berendt (Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) and Erik Larson (The Devil in the White City), New York Times bestselling author Douglas Preston presents a gripping account of crime and punishment in the lush hills surrounding Florence, Italy. In 2000, Douglas Preston fulfilled a dream to move his family to Italy. Then he discovered that the olive grove in front of their 14th century farmhouse had been the scene of the most infamous double-murders in Italian history, committed by a serial killer known as the Monster of Florence. Preston, intrigued, meets Italian investigative journalist Mario Spezi to learn more. This is the true story of their search for--and identification of--the man they believe committed the crimes, and their chilling interview with him. And then, in a strange twist of fate, Preston and Spezi themselves become targets of the police investigation. Preston has his phone tapped, is interrogated, and told to leave the country. Spezi fares worse: he is thrown into Italy's grim Capanne prison, accused of being the Monster of Florence himself. Like one of Preston's thrillers, The Monster Of Florence, tells a remarkable and harrowing story involving murder, mutilation, and suicide-and at the center of it, Preston and Spezi, caught in a bizarre prosecutorial vendetta.
