When a black dog appears, Hallie learns, a reaper is sure to follow. And if the dark visions she's suddenly receiving are any indication, it looks like the reaper is now following her. Meanwhile, strange events herald the arrival of ghosts from Boyd's past, ghosts the young deputy isn't ready to face. Refusing Hallie's help, Boyd takes off to deal with the problem on his own, only to find that he's facing something much larger and more frightening than he'd imagined.

    Here begins the thrilling story of a young vigilante, though he’d never call himself such. Marvin simply has certain… needs. Needs which can only be satisfied by watching people suffer. Pedophiles annoy him, so he targets them. Don’t worry, though—Marvin’s not big on blood. He prefers the mental sort of suffering, which in many ways is all the more gruesome. Of course, sometimes things get out of hand, and blood cannot be prevented. 
    A therapist by day and a stalker and intruder by night, Marvin continues with his never-ending quest to induce and spectate emotional turmoil in strangers. It’s a game he’s played for all of his adult life, a game he loves—a game he’s good at. But as time goes on, Marvin begins to take on more victims than he can handle—dangerous victims, the likes of which he’s never encountered—and before long, he’s in way over his head.

    The Agatha Award-winning mystery inspired by the Wright Brothers' real-life sister! 
     
     
     
    While not as famous as her older siblings Wilbur and Orville, the celebrated inventors of flight, Katharine Wright is equally inventive—especially when it comes to solving crimes—in this radiant historical mystery by USA Today bestselling author Amanda Flower. 
     
     
     
    December 1903: While Wilbur and Orville Wright's flying machine is quite literally taking off in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, with its historic fifty-seven second flight, their sister Katharine is back home in Dayton, Ohio, running the bicycle shop, teaching Latin, and looking after the family. A Latin teacher and suffragette, Katharine is fiercely independent, intellectual, and the only Wright sibling to finish college. But at twenty-nine, she's frustrated by the gender inequality in academia and is looking for a new challenge. She never suspects it will be sleuthing . . . 
     
     
     
    Returning home to Dayton, Wilbur and Orville accept an invitation to a friend's party. Nervous about leaving their as-yet-unpatented flyer plans unattended, Wilbur decides to bring them to the festivities . . . where they are stolen right out from under his nose. As always, it's Katharine's job to problem solve—and in this case, crime-solve. As she sets out to uncover the thief among their circle of friends, Katharine soon gets more than she bargained for: she finds her number one suspect dead with a letter opener lodged in his chest. It seems the patent is the least of her brothers' worries. They have a far more earthbound concern—prison. Now Katharine will have to keep her feet on the ground and put all her skills to work to make sure Wilbur and Orville are free to fly another day.
