Ian Rankin

"A quick in and out, just as a favor."


Clean

Alia Trabucco Zerán

"Everything has consequences, Lita. You must understand that."

Ragnar Jónasson

"His police training had come in useful, ironically enough."

Christie Watson

The Get Off: Excerpt and Cover Reveal!

Christa Faust

"I found out I was pregnant on my way to kill Vukasin."
