She trusted him when he offered her a ride, but now, as he turns onto a deserted road leading into a dark pine forest, she knows she’s made a huge mistake. Special agent Beth Katz races through the dense Montana woodland toward a small, isolated cabin. She’s investigating the disappearance of her partner Dax Styles’s sister who went missing as she walked home from school, and Beth finally has a solid lead. Outside the decrepit building, her heart pounds wondering what she will find on the other side of the door. A young woman with long brown hair and cornflower blue eyes, just like Dax’s, shakes in the kitchen. It’s clearly Ginny, but before Dax can speak to his long-lost sister, Beth hears a noise from outside. In a rundown outbuilding, they discover another young girl, reported missing just weeks before. Dressed in a thin nightie, Ava cowers as Beth breaks into the padlocked room. Her captor has fled, but Beth will use every skill she’s got to track him down. Working night and day, Beth uncovers more cases of young girls taken from remote roads near their homes. Twelve-year-old Shiloh Weeks vanished as she walked home just days ago. Her story remarkably similar to Ginny and Ava’s. Beth and Dax are on a mission to put a stop to this twisted individual and save any new girls from being taken into the woods and lost forever.

Visiting Cassidy’s family home just a couple of blocks away from the quiet little store where she went missing, Beth’s heart breaks as she talks to her grieving parents and promises to find their daughter.

Then Beth uncovers multiple robberies just like this one, where all witnesses are killed and a young girl is taken. All of the victims are taken at night and found dead the following morning, so Beth knows time is running out to save Cassidy. When Cassidy’s lifeless body is discovered dumped on a busy highway near a patch of forest, Beth is devastated. And as more girls go missing, she fears the murderer is escalating. A breakthrough finally comes when she finds a name written in blood next to one of the bodies.

Emily has witnessed the murder of her parents – murders that the authorities believe are part of a larger wave of crime. However, Emily can’t seem to recall a thing about the killings. When the murderers come after Emily, Jane’s boss sends the two of them to a remote town in Colorado. There, Jane, who doesn’t have a maternal bone in her body, must pose as Emily’s mother and serve as her protector. At the same time, she needs to help Emily slowly remember the devastating event without traumatizing her further. And while she does so, the killer is closing in . . .  PROTECTOR marks the debut of Jane Perry, an immensely flawed, utterly sympathetic character that readers have already found entrancing. She is the kind of nuanced hero that makes for continuously interesting reading.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23n4rgvpsk46xnq5tce9az.jpg?v=e118f0ae5a","L6B3NC~U0M4;~SofaeWBR4IV%1%1",494,[234],{"id":235,"slug":236,"name":237},"01kx23n4rbqaq97838pbsj9x08","laurel-dewey-do33","Laurel Dewey",[239,240,241,242,243,244],{"id":47,"name":48,"slug":49,"is_fiction":21},{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":59,"name":60,"slug":61,"is_fiction":21},{"id":55,"name":56,"slug":57,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":90,"mood":247,"themes":248,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[93,92],[194,249],"revenge",{"id":251,"slug":252,"title":253,"description":254,"primary_cover_url":255,"cover_blurhash":256,"first_publish_year":257,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":258,"authors":259,"genres":264,"series":275,"enrichment":281},"01kx23wdny74qsgfsje0tn7bbh","the-devils-closet-uvym","The Devil's Closet","Detective CeeCee Gallagher is no stranger to high-pressure cases.

He and detective Carol Jordan have put away scores of dangerous criminals at a rate that colleagues envy. But there is one serial killer who has shaped and defined their careers, and whose evil surpasses all others: Jacko Vance, ex-celebrity and sociopath whose brilliance and utter lack of remorse have never left Tony's mind in the ten years since his imprisonment. Now Jacko has escaped from prison--even more twisted and cunning than before, he is focused on wreaking revenge on Tony and Carol for his years spent in prison. Tony and Carol don't know when Jacko will strike, or where. All they know is that Jacko will cause them to feel fear like they've never known. A chilling, utterly gripping tour de force, The Retribution is the ideal introduction or re-introduction to the world of Tony Hill and Carol Jordan.

One of the Best or Most Anticipated Books of 2022: Newsweek • PopSugar • E! News • Goodreads • Book Riot • BookBub • The Nerd Daily • SheReads • Novel Suspects • Crime by the Book • London Times A Library Reads Selection—Best Book Voted By Librarians for March 2022 “The night was expected to bring tragedy.” So begins one of the most highly-anticipated thrillers in recent years. It’s New Year’s Eve 1999. Y2K is expected to end in chaos: planes falling from the sky, elevators plunging to earth, world markets collapsing. A digital apocalypse. None of that happens. But at a Blockbuster Video in New Jersey, four teenagers working late at the store are attacked. Only one inexplicably survives. Police quickly identify a suspect, the boyfriend of one of the victims, who flees and is never seen again. Fifteen years later, more teenage employees are attacked at an ice cream store in the same town, and again only one makes it out alive. In the aftermath of the latest crime, three lives intersect: the lone survivor of the Blockbuster massacre who’s forced to relive the horrors of her tragedy; the brother of the fugitive accused, who’s convinced the police have the wrong suspect; and FBI agent Sarah Keller who must delve into the secrets of both nights—stirring up memories of teen love and lies—to uncover the truth about murders on the night shift. Twisty, poignant, and redemptive, The Night Shift is a story about the legacy of trauma and how the broken can come out on the other side, and it solidifies Finlay as one of the new leading voices in the world of thrillers.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxf1zn5s2j4j8gcawmhn5p40.jpg?v=bfb6e209a5","L49P.+}[4,V@M|I;OFX80JMxsojs",2022,344,[385],{"id":386,"slug":387,"name":388},"01kxej1vdntxejgkb1rm36ndg1","alex-finlay-yorv","Alex Finlay",[390,391,392,393,394,395,396],{"id":47,"name":48,"slug":49,"is_fiction":21},{"id":267,"name":268,"slug":269,"is_fiction":21},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":55,"name":56,"slug":57,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":21},{"id":51,"name":52,"slug":53,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":90,"mood":399,"themes":400,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[93,92],[401,402],"dual-timeline","unreliable-narrator",[404,594,756],{"key":405,"params":406,"works":407},"genre_year",{"genre":48,"year":9},[408,448,481,506,537,565],{"id":409,"slug":410,"title":411,"description":412,"primary_cover_url":413,"cover_blurhash":414,"first_publish_year":415,"community_rating_avg":416,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":417,"authors":418,"genres":423,"series":435,"enrichment":440},"01kvnbazy9gnd0qsh31rtpexmw","cruel-paradise-ahkm","Cruel Paradise","Killian Black is king of Boston's criminal underworld, lord of an empire built on fear and control — until a daring thief crosses his path and sets his carefully ordered kingdom on fire.
