Rebecca J. Sanford, The Disappeared
(Blackstone)
“Sanford’s debut is a wrenching reminder of the costs of history, the human losses behind politics, and the burden of keeping secrets.”
–Booklist
Catherine Steadman, Look in the Mirror
(Ballantine)
“A gloriously, lushly evoked setting and an utter white-knuckle ride of a plot that took me into a heart of darkness . . . Catherine Steadman more than delivers on the brilliant twists and thrills I’ve come to expect from her writing, yet still rings the changes—this feels totally fresh and unique.”
–Lucy Foley
Claire Douglas, The Woman Who Lied
(Harper)
“First rate suspense…hard to put down.”

–Bookpage
Darcy Coates, Ghost Camera
(Poisoned Pen)
“Baleful dispatches from the spirit world. They’re watching, they’re powerful, and they’re not happy…Australian horrormeister Coates revives and revises the title novella, her very first ghostly tale, adding another long story and seven shorter shivers.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Shari Lapena, What Have You Done
(Pamela Dorman)

–Library Journal
Elle Marr, Your Dark Secrets
(Hyperion Ave)
“Best-selling Marr’s latest thriller spotlights the hush-hush escapades of the glamorous elite with the overpriced PR consultants hired to hide them and PIs to find them… the peripatetic chase fixing the head-shaking antics of the overprivileged entwined with the steamy haters-back-to-lovers trope will keep pages turning.”
—Booklist
Deborah J Ledford, Havoc
(Thomas & Mercer)
“Ledford’s sequel to Redemption excels…For fans of books by both Tony and Anne Hillerman, along with others that embody the spirit and landscape of the Southwest.”
