    SILENT PRAYER (A Sheila Stone Suspense Thriller—Book 8) is the eighth book in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller The Perfect Wife (a free download) has received over 20,000 five star reviews.
    
    With her Olympic dreams crumbled, Sheila, 28, struggles to find her place back home. She is surrounded by reminders of what could have been, stuck inside the shadow of her older sister: the golden child, the respected sheriff. But when her sister persuades her to join the local police force, Sheila’s life and career start anew.
    
    As she hunts serial killers, Sheila notices clues that others miss and offers a perspective that no one else has. She realizes she has a talent outside of fighting, and that she has a chance to embrace a new life in Salt Lake—a life outside the ring.
    
    This is a different kind of ring, though. Sheila quickly realizes that to survive, she will need more than just her strength—she’ll need a brilliance to match that of even the most diabolical killer….
    Can Sheila win this match? Or will she finally lose it all?
    
    A page-turning and harrowing suspense thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured protagonist, the SHEILA STONE series is a riveting mystery, packed with suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.

    —Reader review for Girl One: Murder
    
    In the Maya Gray series (which begins with Book #1—GIRL ONE: MURDER), FBI Special Agent Maya Gray, 39, has seen it all. She’s one of BAU’s rising stars and the go-to agent for hard-to-crack serial cases. When she receives a handwritten postcard promising to release 12 kidnapped women if she will solve 12 cold cases, she assumes it’s a hoax.
    
    Until the note mentions that, among the captives, is her missing sister.
    
    Maya, shaken, is forced to take it seriously. The cases she’s up against are some of the most difficult the FBI has ever seen. But the terms of his game are simple: If Maya solves a case, he will release one of the girls. 
    
    And if she fails, he will end a life.
    
    In GIRL TEN: WANTED (book #10), new victims are appearing near bodies of water, and the clue linking them is just out of Maya’s reach. When she finally has a realization, a shocking twist leaves her in the crosshairs, and makes her realize she just may be out of time….
    
    A complex psychological crime thriller full of twists and turns and packed with heart-pounding suspense, the MAYA GRAY mystery series will make you fall in love with a brilliant new female protagonist and keep you turning pages late into the night.

    All for One – Love, War, & Ghosts is a tale of friendship, love, and youthful decisions that drive friends apart for decades. When the ghosts of Vietnam shove their way into the present, fear, uncertainty, and death follow.Selected for the Spring Reading Guide in The Strand Magazine.  Andrew Gulli, managing editor: "I truly loved it. It's thoughtful, layered, and emotionally intelligent in a way that really stays with you. The tension works beautifully alongside the deeper themes - it's exactly the kind of novel our readers respond to."Publisher's Weekly reviewer for the BookLife Prize: "Written in a plainspoken, accessible tone, All For One is an easy read. The temporal shifts between the decades are smooth, thanks to a steady voice, providing continuity across the years and serving as a reminder of how a person's past will bleed into the present. While her writing makes sparse use of metaphor or lyrical imagery, McGuinn's words carry emotional resonance in the small details that serve to highlight the trauma of war, loss, and love without overstating these feelings."Now available in paperback, digital, and audio formats.

    When tragedy tears her family apart, Lizzy learns just how deadly her ability is, and how dangerous her life has become. Hunted by a shadowy organization that will turn her power to its own ends no matter the cost, she’s forced to leave behind everything she’s ever known, with only her nerve and a few unlikely allies between her and the people hunting her. And the more she learns, the more she realizes there may be others like her.
