    Description:
    A seemingly straightforward case of home invasion and rape becomes a nightmare of competing narratives, manipulation, and tragedy when Detective Michael investigates a young woman's claim that she killed an intruder in self-defense. As police dig deeper, contradictions emerge. With public opinion inflamed by social media, the truth gets buried beneath viral claims and outrage. But the real horrors only begin after the official case closes.

    FBI Special Agent Taylor Sage has crossed the country and transferred to her dream job with the BAU at Quantico. With a new job, a new house, and her husband by her side, Taylor is ready to put the darkness of her past behind her: a sister who vanished when she was a teenager.

    In DON’T BREATHE (Book #2), victims of a new serial killer are turning up dead, chess pieces mysteriously left on their bodies. Brilliant FBI Special Agent Taylor Sage is determined to crack this one on her own, but when she hits a dead end, she must turn to the tarot reader for a clue—one that may hold the key, or may lead her right into a trap. Taylor, in the midst of the case of her life, must also battle demons from her past: dark secrets from Taylor’s past are threatening to bubble up—and possibly to end her marriage. Can she hold it together long enough to crack the case? Or might she be the next victim? 
    
    In DON’T RUN (Book #3), a new serial killer haunts the city, leaving his victims’ bodies with an eerie signature: a single orchid. Brilliant FBI Special Agent and BAU specialist Taylor Sage, battling her own demons, tries to ignore the tarot reader’s riddles. But when she has no choice but to explore them, she may just wish she hadn’t.  With the FBI, police and local horticulturalists stumped, it’s up to Taylor to connect the dots. But as Taylor’s marriage crumbles around her and she struggles to connect with her new partner, she’s under more pressure than ever to find this killer—before he finds her first.

    Poppy’s life has never been easy. Becoming a mum at sixteen, falling out with her family, and being abandoned by her boyfriend has left her feeling lost and alone, but her son is a ray of light in her life, and the pair form a strong bond: it’s the two of them against the world. Many years later, with her son grown up and away at university, Poppy arrives desperate, exhausted, and half-starved to a pretty doorstep, hoping to find sanctuary in the home of her old school friend Harriet—and it is clear things have gone horribly wrong. Finding Harriet living with her sister Jessica and nephew Reef, Poppy soon settles into a comfortable life in their rural village, helping Harriet in her delightful fabric shop, and believing the sisters have offered her a way to start again with a clean slate. But as the hardships she has fled catch up with her and cracks in the sisters' strange relationship begin to show, Poppy is suspicious of Harriet’s true motivations for helping her and fears her only option will be to flee once again. With bonds between the three women tested to breaking point and dark secrets revealed, will Poppy find safety and happiness, or has she simply fled one nightmare to end up in another? No Safe Haven is a twisty tale of friendship, family, and loyalty in a world where everyone has something to hide.

    A gripping novel about the assassination of Leon Trotsky in Mexico City in 1940In The Man Who Loved Dogs, Leonardo Padura brings a noir sensibility to one of the most fascinating and complex political narratives of the past hundred years: the assassination of Leon Trotsky by Ramón Mercader.The story revolves around Iván Cárdenas Maturell, who in his youth was the great hope of modern Cuban literature—until he dared to write a story that was deemed counterrevolutionary. When we meet him years later in Havana, Iván is a loser: a humbled and defeated man with a quiet, unremarkable life who earns his modest living as a proofreader at a veterinary magazine. One afternoon, he meets a mysterious foreigner in the company of two Russian wolfhounds. This is "the man who loved dogs," and as the pair grow closer, Iván begins to understand that his new friend is hiding a terrible secret.Moving seamlessly between Iván's life in Cuba, Ramón's early years in Spain and France, and Trotsky's long years of exile, The Man Who Loved Dogs is Padura's most ambitious and brilliantly executed novel yet. This is a story about political ideals tested and characters broken, a multilayered epic that effortlessly weaves together three different plot threads— Trotsky in exile, Ramón in pursuit, Iván in frustrated stasis—to bring emotional truth to historical fact.A novel whose reach is matched only by its astonishing successes on the page, The Man Who LovedDogs lays bare the human cost of abstract ideals and the insidious, corrosive effects of life under a repressive political regime.
