Off the Air (2024)
Christina Estes
"A reporter herself, Estes rips open a vein to bring her hard-charging heroine to life, giving this fast-moving crime novel the satisfying snap of realism."
thumb
What Never Happened (2023)
Rachel Howzell Hall
"Rachel Howzell Hall has crafted her own genre of slow-boiling, powerfully emotional thrillers. Her realistic characters are ordinary people, haunted by past horrors that won't stay buried, forcing them to face pure evil to find their own redemption."

The Guilty One (2023)
Bill Schweigart
"A raw, visceral, hard-charging police procedural and a relentless thriller packed into one explosive novel. You'll finish this book breathless."
