  The “master of heart-pounding suspense” — New York Times best-seller Phillip Margolin — returns with a new legal thriller starring Robin Lockwood.A young woman accuses a prominent local college athlete of rape. Convicted with the help of indisputable DNA evidence, the athlete swears his innocence and threatens both his lawyer and his accuser as he's sent to prison. Not long after, there's another rape, and the DNA test shows that the same person committed both rapes — which is seemingly impossible since the man convicted of the first rape was in prison at the time of the second one.Now, the convicted athlete, joined by a new lawyer, is granted a new trial and bail. Shortly thereafter, his original lawyer disappears and his law partner is murdered.Robin Lockwood is a young lawyer with a prestigious small law firm and a former MMA fighter who helped pay for Yale Law School with her bouts. She is representing the victim of the first rape for her civil lawsuit against her rapist, who is now convinced the rapist is stalking her and trying to intimidate her.At the same time, another client is up on a murder charge — one that should be dismissed as self-defense — but the DA trying the case is determined to bring it to trial. Now, she has to mastermind two impossible cases, trying to find the hidden truth that links the two of them.Phillip Margolin, the master of the legal thriller, returns in one of his twistiest, most compelling crime audiobooks yet.

  Among the last bastion of God’s holy warriors determined to save Jerusalem from the Muslims, Arn Magnusson of the Nights Templar is renowned as a man of compassion, strength, and faith, even among the enemy Saracens—Saladin and his Muslim followers. Yet, neither time nor distance can lessen Arn’s pain of separation from his beloved Cecilia; confined to a cloister back home in western Götaland, his betrothed, the mother of their newborn son, is a pawn in a war between clans vying for control of the crown.  
   
  And when an accident of fate brings together Arn and Saladin, an unlikely friendship is froged that will alter the course of the Templar knight’s life, and the history of Jerusalem itself. 
   
  Praise for The Templar Knight 
   
  “The political intrigue, military action, and exotic setting will appeal to both historical fiction readers and adventure buffs. Although part of a trilogy, this can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone entry, but most readers who happen upon this title first will surely want to go back for the beginning and will eagerly await the final volume.” —Booklist

  “A British police procedural as good as those produced by crime queens Elizabeth George and Ruth Rendell.” —USA Today  His first three victims ended up dead. His fourth was not so fortunate . . .   Alison Willetts is unlucky to be alive. She has survived a stroke, deliberately induced by a skillful manipulation of pressure points on the head and neck. She can see, hear, and feel and is aware of everything going on around her, but is completely unable to move or communicate. Her condition is called locked-in syndrome. In leaving Alison Willetts alive, the police believe the killer made his first mistake.   Then DI Tom Thorne discovers the horrifying truth; it isn’t Alison who is the mistake, it’s the three women already dead. The killer is getting his kicks out of toying with Thorne as much as he is pursuing his sick fantasy, and as the detective zeroes in on a suspect, he finds himself pushed to his personal and professional limits . . .   This is the “exceptional” first novel in the long-running series by an international bestselling author (George Pelecanos).   “The best thriller debut of the year.” —Rocky Mountain News   “A world-class crime writer.” —Karin Slaughter
