A Novel

"A tremendously compelling debut of rare skill" (Phil Klay) about a traumatized US Army soldier who goes AWOL to unravel the mystery of his wife's death.

The story begins with a relatively mundane mission--someone owes someone else money--that's situated in a grimy walled, deep-shadowed apartment building in New York. A guy and his team end up with a captive in the backseat of their car- as planned. They drive past streetlights and then there is a thump, a body on their windshield, and a woman is left crumpled and bloodied in the snow.

In Afghanistan, meanwhile, US Army soldier Coop is restless, bothered by the new guy and worried that all the inaction means he missed the war. When he's called to the Captain's office urgently, he's sure that someone knows his darkest secret and has reported him, but then his life ends a different way. His wife, Kay Bellante, is dead.

Coop is given a brief leave to fly home and attend to Kay's affairs, but while back in the city, Coop discovers his wife's death was far more suspicious than anyone told him. Isolated and haunted by the echoes of battle, he decides to go AWOL, using his military training to uncover the real story behind Kay's sudden death. When he begins to circle in on the truth, Coop finds himself in a new war with the Albanian mafia, a crooked rehab clinic, and the Bellantes, a powerful and vindictive family of financial elites. And while searching the shadows of the Bronx, Coop must also navigate the small ordinary dramas we fill our lives with as we move from war to home to war. Humming with mystery, grief, heartache, and the kinds of emotions we feel first in our blood, this is a thriller written for a fearful America from an exciting new voice in fiction.

A Novel of Suspense

The New York Times bestselling author of Dark Torte and Double Shot delivers another knockout novel featuring Colorado caterer Goldy Schulz.

Goldy Schulz is thrilled to be catering a holiday breakfast feast for the staff of the Aspen Meadow Library. But her merriment goes cold when she spots a woman lurking in the stacks--a woman with a striking resemblance to Sandee Brisbane. The Sandee Brisbane who shot and killed Goldy's ex-husband, the Jerk. It sure looks like her, but it can't be because Sandee is dead. Or so everyone believes.

But the holiday madness is only just beginning. Soon the body of Jed Borholtz, a former district attorney turned high-end map dealer, is found in a corner of the library--with a map worth thousands of dollars hidden in his clothing. Goldy is convinced the allegedly dead Sandee Brisbane is involved. Now all she has to do is prove it--if she can stay alive that is. . . .

A Novel of Murder at the Chicago World's Fair

It is the year of our lord, 1893. The crackle of electricity's first sparks, the mechanical whine of Ferris's wheel, the tinkling of crystal from the majestic city atop the hill--the sounds of a new era pervade the air as the century's last World's Fair commences in Chicago.
But darkness lurks beneath the metropolis so austere it has been dubbed the White City. Strikes loom on the horizon, racism runs rampant, and a murderer unlike any America has ever seen before is on the loose, terrorizing the city. His crimes are so brutal, newspapers have christened him the Husker. Hiding behind the cloak of a city in chaos, he taunts his pursuers, littering the grounds of the fair with the corpses of children as he slips through the shadows.
Dr. Elizabeth Handley, the first forensic psychologist of her kind, has been called in to capture the killer, but when the son of prominent architect William Rockland goes missing, the case takes on an entirely new urgency. In this city of bombastic politics and cutthroat egos, everyone has his own agenda, but time is running out. As she races to save the boy, Dr. Handley fights to maintain her sanity as the line between captor and quarry blurs, and violence casts its spell.
From the depths of the seediest brothels to the pristine enclaves of the elite, "The White City" is a strange, beguiling first novel, a thriller that masterfully blends fact and fiction. An exhilarating voyeur's glimpse at Chicago in all its glory, it also probes the dark side that was never far from its core.

"Luck for Byron Saldinger, a once successful writer of network television scripts, seems to be blowing both ways. Just as his career and personal life are on a sharp downward slide, a dream assignment happens his way - writing the pilot for a big bucks dramatic television series. But then, during a trip west to Hollywood for preproduction meetings on the project, he is accused of plagiarizing his script. And when his accuser is murdered in a Sunset Boulevard hotel, Saldinger is once again plunged into the depths." "But he has a lifeline, Al Vecchi, an ex-cop who once solved a high-profile New York City murder and is west on a short-term contract as technical adviser on crime shows. Beefy, defiantly New York, out of fashion and out of step in Tinseltown, Vecchi has previously crossed swords with Saldinger. Now he finds himself drawn to the challenge of extricating the writer from a tangle of events that becomes more puzzling by the hour." "With filming of the pilot about to start, the focus shifts rapidly between New York and L.A. Saldinger's mounting trouble with the police on both coasts must take a backseat when, for reasons he cannot fathom, he finds himself in imminent personal danger. Sometimes pursuer, sometimes pursued, in settings as varied as Venice Beach and Benedict Canyon, Manhattan's Upper West Side and the studios of the San Fernando Valley, a Bel Air mock-plantation manor and the decaying Desert Palm Hotel in Hollywood, Saldinger manages to gather into his web of circumstance four young women - an English dancer, a half-Japanese writer, a Greek-American restaurateur, and a California peach on roller skates - as well as the usual nervous mix of eccentrics one expects in the high stakes crapshoot that is network television." "As the pressures increase and Saldinger can no longer hold off both the New York and Los Angeles police, he finds himself having to protect his flanks through several acts that are flat-out illegal. And then, on the eve of principal photography - a bare week after the nightmare began - Al Vecchi surfaces to lead him to a startling resolution." "Shooting Script is both a first-rate puzzle and a wry glimpse backstage in the arcane world of television production - fast, urgent, witty, skillfully plotted, and with a surprising truth."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

In this witty and engaging novel, Dana Barry, the Shopping Channel’s star host, stops by the company’s rooftop party to pitch the new CEO her brilliant idea that just might save the flagging business, her job and possibly her love life.

As she chats with the smarmy executive, he backs her into a dark corner. For Dana, it’s a quid pro oh-hell-no. She escapes his lecherous grasp and grabs her drink on her way to the dance floor. Woozy, she blacks out.

When she comes to, the CEO is dead, fallen from the roof. Or was he pushed? And if so, by whom? It’s hard to know, but one thing is certain: Dana was close enough to be suspect.

Sure, she loathed how the creep moved in on her, but she’s no killer. Or is she? Truth is, Dana can’t remember much about those minutes. Now she has to use all her skills to prove her innocence to everyone, including her police detective boyfriend—and herself.

Meister’s latest is fun and breezy, a compelling, suspenseful read that entertains and keeps you guessing.
