    For fans of Kristin Hannah, Lisa Gardner, and Elin Hilderbrand — Nick is missing. The Caribbean doesn't give up its secrets easily. Neither does Katie. 
    Nick Kovacs flew a woman and her child out of the U.S. Virgin Islands as a favor. He did not return. His plane was sabotaged somewhere over the Caribbean, and by the time Katie finds out — through three days of unanswered texts and a missing persons report the local detective won't file — she's already certain he's alive. She just can't prove it. And she can't find him. 
    The investigation takes Katie from St. Marcos to the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico, trailed by cartel watchers, an obstructive detective on the Petro-Mex payroll, and the growing suspicion that the people who sabotaged Nick's plane are also planning a terrorist attack on the island's oil refinery. She's a private investigator with no jurisdiction, a husband she hasn't been married to long enough, and a message that keeps appearing in her dreams: hurry. 
    Nick is communicating with her somehow — through dreams, through the house spirit Annalise, through a water-damaged photograph that turns out to be a map. Whether you believe that or not, Katie believes it. And she's been right about this island before. 
    Finding Harmony is the third novel in Pamela Fagan Hutchins' Katie Connell series — a rescue thriller that moves across three countries and never loses sight of the love story at its center. Rich with Caribbean detail from an author who lived and breathed these islands, and unlike anything else in the genre. 
    Her husband was missing somewhere in the Caribbean. The island told her where to look. 
    Buy Finding Harmony for a thrilling, romantic island mystery today! 
    The Katie Connell Series is Part 1 of the interconnected world of Hutchins' What Doesn't Kill You Super Series.

    内容简介: 
    When Luna vanishes without a trace, her family is plunged into a chilling mystery. Her sister's desperate search is met with cold indifference from their mother, Mona, who seems more obsessed with a strange, fresh piece of supple leather than her missing daughter. A haunting phone location reveals Luna's device is terrifyingly close—within the same room. The discovery of a writhing, oversized handbag and the sudden, grotesque return of a long-lost twin brother, Leo, shatters any hope of a simple disappearance. Leo's fragmented, terrified whispers hint at a horrifying truth. As the line between family and nightmare blurs, a dreadful realization dawns: the most precious things are sometimes kept closest in the most monstrous ways. A gripping tale of psychological horror and dark family secrets that will cling to you long after the final page.

    After the horrendous battle at the end of the previous book, which ended with the destruction of the religion of Issus, John Carter's wife and two other women were locked in a slowly rotating prison attached to the Temple of the Sun, each of whose hundreds of cells are only open to the outside world once every year. In the meantime, Carter's friend Xodar has become the new Jeddak (chief or king) of the black Martian First Born, and those white Martian therns who reject the old religion likewise gain a new unnamed leader, but there are still some who wish to keep the old discredited religion going, including the therns' erstwhite leader, the Holy Hekkador Matai Shang. John Carter discovers that a First Born named Thurid knows the secret of the Temple of the Sun and he and Matai Shang want to rescue the Holy Thern's daughter Phaidor, who has been imprisoned with Dejah Thoris and another Barsoomian princess, Thuvia of Ptarth, in the Temple jail for several hundred days. Unfortunately, Thurid, to spite Carter, gets Matai Shang to also take Dejah Thoris and Thuvia along with them. Carter follows them in the hope of liberating his beloved wife. - Summary by Wikipedia
