Excerpts

Miami Midnight

Alex Segura

"What are you working on now?” she asked, her tone relaxed, peaceful. “A new case?"


The Last Widow

Karin Slaughter

"“Where are they taking her?” Will grabbed Hank by the shirt and gave him a violent shake."


This Poison Will Remain

Fred Vargas

"Maître Carvin was a cool customer, neither impatient nor hot- tempered, and when Lamarre and Kernorkian came to his chambers to summon him over to the station, interrupting him when he was busy at work, he merely asked forfive minutes to clear his desk, and followed them without demur."


Old Bones

Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

"'I first heard the story of the Donner Party as a young boy growing up outside San Francisco,' Benton began."


The Catholic School

Edoardo Albinati

"The story I'm about to tell now will clarify (or perhaps further confuse) the dynamic of an episode described many pages back in this story."


The Bitterroots

C.J. Box

"Everything that happened in western Montana happened in one of the valleys between mountain ranges."


I Spy

Claire Kendal

"The clear glass table meant that I had to work extra hard to stop my knee from jerking up and down."


Love and Death Among the Cheetahs

Rhys Bowen

"So I allowed Zou Zou to kit me out for the garden party."


Contraband

Stuart Woods

"Max pulled a chair up to Dix’s bed. “Are you comfortable, Dixie?”"


Outfox

Sandra Brown

"Drex stepped out of the shower and reached for his ringing cell phone, which he’d balanced on the rim of the sink."
