  After recording the last interview of a month-long media extravaganza orchestrated by the brass, NYPD Detectives Chiara Corelli and P. J. Parker are hoping for time out of the spotlight working cold cases and/or solving low profile murders. But the brutal murder of Alessandra Moreau, a singer on track to becoming a superstar, in the living room of New York State Senator Leigh Drayman, a trans woman, is anything but. 
   
   
   
  Besides Drayman, only Moreau's twin sister and her wife knew she was a trans woman, so Corelli and Parker focus their attention on three suspects—the agent/manager stealing from her, a man from her attorney's office who assaulted her, and H, a rejected lover who she fears. 
   
   
   
  And when they find thirteen trans women murdered in exactly the manner as Moreau in just over two years, their focus changes and they enlist the senator's help to get the NYPD to set up a task force. 
   
   
   
  With the murder of two more trans women in New York City, the killer seems to be taunting them. But they are no closer to finding him then they were after Moreau was murdered. 
   
   
   
  As they dig deeper into those early murders, they eliminate suspects and begin to focus on the one with motive, means, and opportunity.

  All good things must come to an end . . .Acting Detective Inspector Roberta Steel has never been shy, but she’s finally retiring. After thirty years of policing Aberdeen’s underbelly, she’s all set for her twilight years to feature gardening gloves, afternoon tea, crosswords puzzles, and shouting at the telly.So, when a body turns up in a wheelie bin, it looks like an excellent way to round off her career and go out with a bang. But the Northeast of Scotland isn’t finished with her yet:There’s a violent protest to stop; far-right populist politicians, and sketchy government spooks; a by-election; drugs, dogs, and baby-doll nighties; and a desperate ex-colleague, begging her for help.With only her Queen Street Irregulars for backup, and the top brass desperate to get shot of her, these final few weeks might just be the death of her . . .Praise for Stuart MacBride:‘Stuart MacBride is an automatic must-read for me . . . always fast, hard, authentic – and different’ – Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series‘Dark and brilliantly written’ – Linwood Barclay, author of I Will Ruin You‘MacBride is a damned fine writer’ – Peter James, author of Picture You Dead

  The Empathizer

  "The Empathizer" is a provocative dystopian political satire that transports listeners to a fractured America after a second civil war. Based on Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death," this limited audio series follows one man's harrowing journey when he returns to the progressive West Coast and becomes trapped as the deadly pandemic sweeps through the region. 
  When our protagonist, a Zionist Jew who defected to the eastern states after the war, returns to New California to bury his parents alongside his estranged sister Judith, he finds himself fleeing to the compound of Gravity Darker—a powerful rapper-turned-politician. Inside this seemingly secure fortress, seven color-coded rooms host an elaborate masquerade where the progressive elite party while the world outside succumbs to disease and chaos. 
  As our hero navigates through increasingly bizarre and decadent environments, he uncovers the dark truth behind Gravity's wealth and power: a horrifying experiment called the "Radical Empathizer" that harvests human brains to artificially create empathy. When the pandemic inevitably breaches the compound walls, the spectacular collapse of this utopian experiment reveals the hollow nature of performative empathy and privilege. 
  "The Empathizer" combines Gothic horror with political satire to create a thought-provoking commentary on our divided society, challenging listeners to examine their assumptions about empathy, privilege, and political ideology. 
  For listeners captivated by this world, the story will continue in a planned second season, drawing inspiration from Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."

  A murder at a suspense writer convention makes everyone a suspect—especially the victim's literary rivals. 
   
   
   
  Murderpalooza, the premier thriller writers conference, is meant to be an exciting celebration of the genre and its preeminent writers. But when bestselling author and industry favorite Kristin Bailey is found dead in her hotel room, four rival authors—a midlister, an egomaniac, a has-been, and a newbie—also get targeted by an anonymous social media account and wonder if they're next. 
   
   
   
  First, they find themselves bonding to try to find out who's behind it. As the account taunts them, it slowly reveals secrets that each of them have connected to Kristin—secrets that make them a suspect in each other's eyes. Soon, they are turning on each other and silently accusing each as a killer. With time running out until the awards ceremony where the social media account has promised a big reveal, the only thing they know for sure is that no one is better at both creating and solving a mystery than the people who write them for a living. 
   
   
   
  Jaime Lynn Hendricks gives the listener a thrilling peek into the thriller writing world and those that inhabit it in this gripping suspense novel.
