Someone Saw Something (2024)
Rick Mofina
"It's a family's worst nightmare. A child is missing and his parents are left with unimaginable choices and the threat of long-held secrets being exposed. Mofina expertly weaves together an anguishing story of a family's trauma with a propulsive, twisty thriller that pays off to the very last page."
thumb
The Lost Van Gogh (2024)
Jonathan Santlofer
"Perfectly paced and plotted, The Lost Van Gogh seamlessly weaves together a mystery of unrelenting suspense with a fascinating tale about art and the dangerously criminal culture that surrounds it. A terrific read--one that only Jonathan Santlofer could have written!"
thumb
Dark Ride (2023)
Lou Berney
"Lou Berney is such a talent, and he's at the top of his game here. Hardly Reed is a protagonist to root for - an affable stoner who just might be the one person who can save two children in danger. Dark Ride will grab your heart in chapter one and not let go until the final, searing page."
