  "Gates writes with such all-stops-out intensity that even Stephen King's faithful followers will begrudgingly admit the presence of an heir to the throne." (Publishers Weekly)  
  The killer is in the house.... 
  In a sleepy, quiet neighborhood, Billy Teags comes home to the house where he feels safe - to his mother, brother, and father. But Billy doesn't know he's about to step into a scene of unimaginable terror and carnage, as he comes face-to-face with the monster who's appeared in his dreams. 
  The neighbors are unaware of what's lurking behind the drawn blinds and closed door of the house down the street. They're not prepared for the bloody rampage about to shock the neighborhood. Most of all, they can't imagine that a serial killer's next target will be one innocent boy, with nowhere to hide, and only one way to fight back.

  Army cop-turned-small-town-investigator Mick Hardin returns to Appalachia in this propulsive thriller from the award-winning author of The Killing Hills. Mick Hardin is an Army CID officer home on leave, recovering from an IED attack and flirting with prescription painkillers, when a body is found in the center of town. It’s Barney Kissick, the local heroin dealer, and the city police see it as an occupational hazard. But when Barney’s mother, Shifty, asks Mick to take a look, it seems there’s more to the killing than it seems. Mick should be rehabbing his leg, signing his divorce papers, and getting out of town—and most of all, staying out of the way of his sister’s reelection as Sheriff—but he keeps on looking, and suddenly he’s getting shot at himself. A dark, pacy crime novel about grief and revenge, and the surprises hidden below the surface, Shifty’s Boys is a tour de force that confirms Mick Hardin as one of the most appealing new investigators in fiction.Praise for The Killing Hills “[A] work of rural noir whose characters’ singular codes lead to constant surprises.” —The Wall Street Journal “Dark, but deeply humane. The love in this book is deep and powerful. And winsome twinkles shine through the blackness throughout, thanks in no small part to Offutt’s keen ear and eye.” —The New York Times “Sense of place also steams off the pages . . . Pitch-perfect in its tone and dialogue, if more interested in mood than in the business of plot, this is what Jack Reacher wants to be when it grows up.” —The Times [UK]

  🥖 Artisan baker Penny Doughlas is rolling out her famous cinnamon rolls when the town's most disliked baking show judge is found dead in her bakery—whacked with her own grandmother's antique rolling pin. The police see a crime of passion, but Penny notices the flour patterns form a suspicious symbol and the victim's tasting notes contain coded critiques of local bakers. With her bakery temporarily closed and the media spinning a half-baked narrative, Penny must prove her innocence before her business is toast. Assisted by her retired baker father and the charming food blogger who's been chronicling her rise to fame, Penny follows a trail of doughy clues. From suspicious kneading techniques that reveal left-handed manipulation to flour blends that don't match any local mill, every baking detail holds significance. But when Penny discovers the victim was secretly writing a tell-all book exposing the baking world's dirty secrets—including recipe theft and sabotaged competitions—she realizes the rolling pin was just the beginning. With the annual Heritage Baking Competition approaching, Penny must separate the wheat from the chaff before the real killer decides to take another whack at justice.
