"September 1943: Berlin is the heart of darkness-and the last place Dr. Elin Lund wishes to be. An expert in psychological profiling, she's been summoned from Copenhagen to investigate the gruesome murders of eight young women. Even in the midst of unspeakable evil, these killings stand apart. And with her homeland now under Nazi occupation and a young son to protect, Elin can't refuse such a request. Detective Kurt Schneider, head of the criminal police unit, is grudging in his welcome. The orders to find the killer come from the top, and to fail means death. The stakes are too high to risk any mistakes-or to trust a stranger. Yet the pair, trapped in an uneasy partnership, each has expertise the other needs. And Schneider, like Elin, is clearly guarding secrets of his own. Racing to complete the investigation and return to her son, Elin feels the net tightening. Every sliver of evidence reveals a killer infinitely more dangerous, and more powerful, than anyone suspected. And in drawing closer to the terrifying truth, Elin has unwittingly made herself his new obsession."--Provided by publisher.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY RT BOOK REVIEWSWhen New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards brought her irresistible brand of hot passion and chilling suspense to the paranormal romance scene with The Last Victim, it was just the beginning. Now her series cranks up the deadly danger and intense desire to the next level, as sexy serial killer hunter Charlotte Stone returns to action in her thrilling second adventure. THE LAST KISS GOODBYE Dr. Charlotte "Charlie" Stone has dedicated her career as a psychiatrist to exploring the darkest territory of all: the hearts and minds of serial killers. It's a job she's uniquely suited for, thanks to the secret talent that gives her an uncanny edge-Charlie can see dead people, whose tormented spirits cry out to her for the justice only she can provide. This blessing-or curse-gives Charlie the power to hunt down and catch madmen and murderers. It's also turned her love life upside down by drawing her into a hopelessly passionate relationship with the lingering ghost of charismatic bad boy Michael Garland. But there's little time for romance with her supernatural suitor when murder comes pounding at Charlie's door in the form of a terrified young woman fleeing a homicidal maniac. Saving her life places Charlie squarely in the cross-hairs of a sadistic predator nicknamed "the Gingerbread Man," notorious for manipulating his victims like pawns in a deadly chess game. And now the queen this psychopath's bent on capturing is Charlie. Refusal to play will only put more innocent lives in danger. Matching wits with this cunningly twisted opponent will require all of Charlie's training and expert skills. But even with her devilish "guardian angel"-not to mention her favorite flesh-and-blood Fed, Tony Bartoli-watching her beautiful back, the Gingerbread Man's horrifying grin might be the last thing Charlie ever sees.Features a preview of the next Charlotte Stone novel, HER LAST WHISPERPraise for The Last Kiss Goodbye "Top-notch . . .

Klog, udspekuleret og parat til kamp – der er kun én Bianca St. Ives i verden, og det gør folk klogt i ikke at glemme.Bianca St. Ives var for nylig igennem den helt store vridemaskine, men hun landede, som hun altid gør – og som hendes far har lært hende fra barnsben – på benene igen. Mens hun kommer sig over afsløringerne om sit ophav, der har forårsaget en menneskejagt uden lige, gør Bianca sig klar til at tage sin skæbne i egne hænder. Det er dræb eller bliv dræbt!I takt med at Bianca gør, hvad hun kan for at komme af dødslisten på det mørke internet, bliver hun involveret i et nyt stort kup: bryd ind i Pusjkinmuseet og stjæl kong Priams skat – en samling af uvurderlige artefakter, russerne stjal under anden verdenskrig – og aflever den tilbage til tyskerne. Umuligt? Måske, men for Bianca St. Ives ligger den slags normalt lige til højrebenet. Men for hvert skridt hun tager, kommer fjenden to skridt nærmere. Lever man som Bianca på lånt tid, har man dog ikke noget at tabe. Troede hun.  Liv eller død er lige så hæsblæsende og underholdende som Nomade 44 – og Bianca St. Ives viser endnu en gang, at hun i den grad er James Bond værdig.

Tyv. Manipulator. Svindler af format. Kald det, hvad du vil – Bianca St. Ives er uden fortilfælde.Bianca St. Ives har altid vidst, at hun ikke var helt ligesom andre piger på sin alder. I stedet for at hinke eller lege med dukker, blev hun undervist i kampsport og lærte at skille våben ad. Når de andre tog på ferie med deres forældre, tog hun på job med sin far, hvor hun lærte at holde hovedet koldt og slippe af sted med hvad som helst. Hun blev så at sige oplært til at deltage i familieforretningen. Nu er hun 26, gudesmuk og med imponerende evner inden for sit fag.Det, andre tyve har stjålet, stjæler de tilbage – til dem, der betaler dem for det. Men det sidste kup i Bahrain gik ikke helt efter planen – de to hundrede millioner dollars og tophemmelige officielle dokumenter, de skulle have fingrene i under en stor fest i prinsens palads, var allerede væk, da de lukkede boksen op. Og hendes far gik op i røg på opgaven. Sagen er bare, at den amerikanske efterretningstjeneste ikke tror på, at han er død. Og de vil gøre alt, hvad der står i deres magt for at fange ham, inklusiv bruge hans datter som lokkedue. Med meget lidt hjælp og hendes liv på spil, er det op til Bianca at finde frem til, hvad der egentlig er sket – og rette op på det, før det er for sent.Nomade 44 er en actionpræget spændingsroman om svindelnumre, storstilede kup og et ikke helt normalt far-datter-forhold med den unge, smukke og modige Bianca i hovedrollen.
