We had one task: escape into the wilderness and live out the rest of our days happy and randy...or something like that. But when the man who was supposed to get us out of town turns up dead, we realize a more sinister enemy intends to keep us close by. And while it's their friend on the floor, it's my nickname on the wall in his blood. I probably should have told them my ex was an assassin. In my defense, I didn't think I'd ever see him again. Blade probably lost his mind when he realized I was with not one, but four other men. He always was the jealous sort. Or maybe he's mad that I stole from him-yeah, probably that last one. But I certainly didn't expect our paths to cross like this. Blade's a member of the motorcycle club my group does contract work for. Doesn't that just figure? From financial entanglements to loyalties, the complications feel never-ending. I have no doubt that Blade will exact his revenge on the men I've come to love.

Not only do we have their crimes to contend with, plus debts to a rival motorcycle club, but they've just agreed to absorb my exceptionally shady past. The outlaws don't realize it yet, but we'll be hunted to the ends of the earth, if not by their enemies, then by mine. The biggest among them might know more than he's saying-he seems to want me gone, one way or another. But I'm not one to walk away from a good thing, and it soon becomes clear that I might be safer with them... if I can convince them keeping me around is a good idea.

She's not fragile like a poppy. She's fragile like a bomb. Poppy Pratt isn't sure whether it's normal for a recently widowed psychopath to feel this level of rage, but she does know two things: Her husband is dead because of what she is. And she's more dangerous than your average psychopath. She was eighteen when her father brutally murdered her boyfriend in their Alabama shed, but she was seven when the training started. Seven when she watched her serial-killer father hang a victim from a set of metal hooks. Seven when he first handed her the blade. Not that it bothered her; Poppy's never been normal. Normal children can't be accomplices. Normal children show signs of distress when asked to keep bloody secrets. But now those secrets are coming back to take the things Poppy cares about. There's only one suspect who makes sense-only one that her late husband mentioned by name. Molly. The daughter of one of her father's victims, the only other child who ever lived with them-a child her father might have groomed along with Poppy. A girl who vanished when they were kids. Poppy barely remembers the girl, but the tactics she's using to rip Poppy's life apart are undeniably her father's. It seems Molly always knew more than she should have-she's not normal either. And Poppy won't let her past destroy her future. Now Poppy must go back to where it all began to find a girl who should be dead-a girl barely anyone knew existed in the first place. Her father trained Molly well, but he trained his own daughter better. Sometimes, what matters most is blood.

"A chilling and intricate web… spectacularly entertaining."~Bestselling Author Kristen MaeA kidnapped child. A detective on the edge. And a suicide that's anything but."Little Greggie" Boyle was the amazing reappearing child-a boy kidnapped and returned to his parents after five years in captivity. So what would make him take his own life? That's the question hanging over Detective Petrosky's head.It seems straightforward: the teenager was found suspended from the rafters in the foyer of his parents' home, a rope around his neck. No signs of struggle. No note, though that isn't uncommon despite what Hollywood says-those movie nitwits don't know real crime from their left elbows.But something is wrong. The victim's parents are stonewalling the police, and Gregory's brother is cagey-even a little creepy. None of them seem interested in finding out what drove Gregory to kill himself. Or maybe they know something Petrosky doesn't. Then forensic evidence turns the case on its head: the boy was drugged. The death wasn't a suicide at all. Perhaps the kidnappers came back to make sure he stayed quiet…permanently. As the investigation continues, a darker pattern of abductions begins to emerge. Gregory wasn't the only child taken, and it appears the kidnapper is cleaning house-are any of the other victims still alive? One thing seems clear: Petrosky and his partner aren't just hunting a killer; they're looking for more bodies. If they don't hurry, the man who murdered Gregory Boyle will rip other children from their families-kids who will never again come home. And more dead children, especially on the anniversary of his daughter's grisly murder, is more than Detective Petrosky can handle. He needs to catch the killer and ensure no more children fall prey to this maniac before he loses his own tenuous grasp on sanity.Fiendishly clever, unique, and replete with twists and turns that keep readers glued to the pages, Imposter is a fast-paced crime thriller in the vein of Sidney Sheldon, Tana French, and Dean Koontz's Jane Hawk series.

Strange for a perfectionist suspect. Had the perp been interrupted, or is there a more sinister explanation?

The killer they're after doesn't just want to play with his victims-he wants notoriety. And the only way he'll get it is if Petrosky opens up about the case, a move that could put the chief's life in more danger. And that's a risk Petrosky cannot take.

Read this one with more than just the nightstand light on."~Author KR Stanfield A friend once told me that the world needs psychopaths, but I'm not sold that the world needed my father. I only know that I did. Poppy Pratt was a teenager when she watched her father murder her boyfriend. Only a child when she made the call that would put her dad away for the rest of his life. She watched the sheriff lead him off, her father still laughing at the Alabama moon, his arms slick with Shawn's blood. Eighteen years later, Poppy is a chiropractor with a thriving practice and a house in the Vermont suburbs. She even goes on the occasional date. So, when a mysterious stranger shows up at her house claiming that her father is stalking him, Poppy blows him off. Her dad is in prison-psychopath or not, he's no threat. And though this man is writing a book about her dad, she can see no reason for anyone to go after him. But then Poppy receives an unmarked package, and her carefully constructed world begins to crumble. A severed ear would throw most anyone off their game. The stranger was right-it might not be her dad, but someone is watching, and they're after Poppy, too. Could it be an angry family member of one of her father's victims? An obsessed serial killer fan? But even when Poppy's new author friend is viciously attacked, she can't call the police. Shawn wasn't her father's only victim, and her stalker clearly knows enough to implicate her in her father's crimes. It seems she's destined to go down the same way her father did-with her hands covered in blood. The only question is whether she'll be the one holding the knife. Skillful, addictive, and crackling with nerve-fraying tension, Deadly Words is a thrilling joyride straight into hell. And O'Flynn ensures that you'll never want to leave. If you like Gillian Flynn and Gregg Olsen, you'll love the Born Bad series.

But his tenuous grasp on professionalism falters when he's called to the scene of a kidnapping-the waitress from the diner he frequents has gone missing, the only server who knows he takes his coffee with a little liquor. And she's due with her first baby any day. It isn't long before they find her newborn child abandoned in a nearby cellar-does that mean the woman is already dead? And the infant isn't even the most distressing piece of evidence. Petrosky cannot overlook the similarities to a past case he wishes he could forget, a brutal pattern of abductions that ended with a killer torturing young women to death in his basement. That same savage killed his partner, a man Petrosky had regarded as his son. But it's not possible-years ago, Petrosky himself watched that maniac's head explode in a shower of red mist. Could it be a copycat? The series of dead men found shrink-wrapped in their cars seems to suggest a serial killer patterned after the murder of his partner. But Petrosky can't shake the feeling that there is more to the connection than they can see. Perhaps their current suspect knew the original killer-even psychos sometimes had accomplices. Or fall guys.When one of his neighbors is kidnapped, a girl he sees as family, Petrosky's suspicions are confirmed. Clues left at the scene lead them to the weapon used to slit his partner's throat, one piece of the puzzle they'd never been able to locate. This isn't just evidence. It's a warning. It may be impossible, but it's true: the man who killed his partner has returned, and he's taking the people Petrosky loves one by one. Will Petrosky be able to locate a killer more cunning than any he's ever encountered? Or will his fragile grasp on sanity finally snap?Dark, gut-wrenching, and unputdownable, Savage is a knock-the-wind-out-of-you thriller that will keep you reading to the final, unforgettable page. If you liked Sharp Objects or The Wire, you'll love Savage.

"A captivating thriller about the power of the things we wish we could forget."~Bestselling Author Mary Widdicks Where is the line between killer and hero? Things are finally looking up for Detective Petrosky. Sure, his daughter's still dead, his granddaughter's in another state, and they keep putting lemon in his freaking water, but he's sober, his ex-wife no longer hates him-as much-and his new partner is as good at police work as she is at matching his snarky comebacks. But criminals don't take a break; those bastards never sleep.When a councilman's son is brutally murdered, the city explodes into controversy. Though the teen appears to have been ambushed in a random attack, there's no forensic evidence at the scene, and the boy's neck was snapped as quickly and efficiently as if it were a professional hit. Was the murder politically motivated? Or was the victim involved in something else-something bigger? Perhaps the slaying is linked to the old crime scene photos the victim had been collecting, some from cases Petrosky himself worked. And whoever murdered their victim killed at least two others. Ash Park may be dealing with a serial killer five years in the making. But the victims from these older cases are far from innocent-each appears to have been killed during an attempted rape. Is their suspect a cold-blooded murderer, or a hero vigilante? And what does any of it have to do with the councilman's son? All Petrosky knows is that until now, their perp has been protecting the most vulnerable citizens of Ash Park from the very worst of humanity-from the criminals Petrosky himself has spent his entire career trying to put away.And Petrosky isn't sure he wants him to stop. Riveting, and as dark as it is mysterious, Recall pushes the boundaries of right and wrong and turns the notion of justice on its head. Fans of Harlan Corben, Lee Child, and Karin Slaughter will love the Ash Park series.
