Free spirit Veronique Delacroix has a reputation for being reckless and for thumbing her nose at society’s rules. But her wild ways mask the vulnerability she keeps hidden. After all, with an impenetrable wall around her heart, how could it be broken? Brandon Rhodes is New Orleans’ version of royalty, his life steeped in the traditions of high society, Mardi Gras and privilege. His father’s sudden death leaves him in control of his family’s retail empire, but also with a vague restlessness. A sense that something is missing in his life. Veronique and Brandon’s chance meeting leads to a seductive game of one-upmanship.

For as she and Connor study the victims, their deaths, the signature the murderer leaves at every scene, Melanie comes face-to-face with the terrible truth. The profile Connor’s created fits someone in her own life... a profile of a cunning killer, one without remorse and bent on vengeance. A killer who will not stop until...

Riggio and Kitt Lundgren, detectives in the police department's Violent Crimes Bureau in industrial, blue-collar Rockford, Illinois, are called out to a college student's apartment where a young man with no criminal record, not even a noise complaint from his neighbors, appears to have been murdered in his sleep. The trail seems cold, until another victim turns up, and then another… each one striking closer to home for M.C. The growing list of seemingly emotionless kills leaves M.C. and Kitt little to follow - like the first victim, all the targets are young adults, kid-next-door types who've never taken a step outside the law. Meanwhile, the case starts to take its toll on M.C.'s personal life, setting her on edge with her partner and putting their hard-earned friendship in jeopardy. As M.C. and Kitt hunt a faceless killer, they are led deep into the cyber universe, where no one is who he seems and you never know who's watching.

Twenty-five years earlier, Patsy was married to Harlan Sommer, one of Sonoma County's most prominent vintners, when their infant son disappeared without a trace.

Miraculously healed from the injury she suffered in the line of duty, Detective Micki Dare and her partner, Zach Harris, are called to investigate a string of bruta - and baffling - home invasions. The impossible surrounds the case - contradictory accounts by eyewitnesses, guard dogs that slumber through mayhem, and perps with strangely similar tattoos - all a mathematic combination of three sixes. Soon, Micki and Zach must face a terrifying truth: their foe is a familiar one - a dark entity they thought they’d beaten. More powerful than before, this time it’s threatening those closest to Micki. Without a forbidden alliance between humans and light beings, Micki and Zach will be defenseless against this all-encompassing evil - too late to save the innocents, and with them, the future of the human race. Terrifying and suspenseful, the new novel from Erica Spindler is a masterclass in thriller storytelling - you won’t be able to put it down.

Miranda comes from the town of Jasper, a place about the size of a good spit on a hot day, and her side of the tracks was the wrong one. She’s worked hard to earn the respect of her coworkers and the community. When Miranda and her partner are called to investigate the murder of one of the town’s most beloved college professors, they’re unprepared for the brutality of the scene. This murder is unlike any they’ve ever investigated, and just when Miranda thinks she’s seen the worst of it, she finds a piece of evidence that chills her to the core: a faded newspaper clipping about that terrible night fifteen years ago. The night she’d buried, along with her past and the girl she’d been back then.

2001Quotations: "For me, creating atmosphere is about engaging, and manipulating, the senses. The reader’s by way of the characters. The way a place smells, the feel of the breeze or the sun, the sounds of a particular moment and the memories they invoke. Defining character through setting, I use visual detail - the way an artist does - to tell a story or evoke an emotional response."
