Excerpts

Locked In

Jussi Adler-Olsen, Translated by Caroline Waight

"He knew for a fact that any naïve remnant of a sense of justice he might have had would vanish the moment the heavy door slammed behind him with its irrevocable click."


Midnight and Blue

Ian Rankin

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


Clean

Alia Trabucco Zerán

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


The Company

Jon Michael Varese

"But that is a fanciful story, and not the one that I must tell. Because our family was the company, and the company was about something different."


Death At the Sanatorium

Ragnar Jónasson

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


Moral Injuries

Christie Watson

"Laura dropped the syringe and felt for the artery, pushing her hand as quickly as possible, as hard as she could."


The Wrong Hands

Mark Billingham

"Detective Chief Inspector Bob Perks nursed half a shandy in Scruffy Murphy’s and sat wishing he was more interesting."


The Get Off: Excerpt and Cover Reveal!

Christa Faust

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


Murdle, Jr: Excerpt, Cover Reveal, and Puzzle!

G.T. Karber

'"Dry your eyes, kiddo," Jake said. "I’ll find your missing pencil."'


The Quiet Librarian: Excerpt and Cover Reveal!

Allen Eskens

"Hana comes out of the restroom in search of mooring, her gait made unsteady by a tumult of memories."
