  Desperate for protection, Sara turns to Justin Boyle and the International Investigators. Their search uncovers a tangle of obsession and deceit, and every person in Sara's orbit becomes a potential threat. The principal has a history of crossing lines. The gym teacher can't keep his eyes—or hands—to himself. A jealous frenemy seems eager to watch Sara fall. An abusive ex refuses to let go. And a troubled student lingers long after the final bell. Any one of them could be the stalker closing in. 
  What begins as a simple secret admirer case spirals into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Someone is hunting Sara, and they won't stop until they get exactly what they want.

  Nordic Noir Comes to America 
  Thirty years after the shocking and never-solved 1986 assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme on a snowy street in Stockholm, an activist priest is found gruesomely sacrificed on the altar of a Swedish-American church in Minneapolis. The church’s immigrant janitor is also slain, execution style. 
  The crime shocks Hennepin Island, the church’s time-forgotten riverfront neighborhood, where Span Lokken, a demoralized newspaperman, and his improbable partner, Maggie Lindberg, the murdered clergyman’s stylish young assistant, join forces to search for the killers.  
  The trail leads to the castle fortress of the island’s reclusive kingpin, Jonas Kron, whose “lost colony” delusions hide a gripping international mystery that brings the story full circle. Along the way, the curious bond between the unlikely detectives — Span and Maggie — only deepens as they seek to fill the empty spaces in their own lives.

  With the houses of Arborville, New Jersey, decked out in festively frightening decorations, it's easy to mistake a real dead body for a fake. But Pamela and Bettina are alerted by the screams of teenage trick-or-treaters to the corpse next door.

  The victim was a charismatic college professor and fierce feminist, and soon the women are infiltrating her social and academic circles to collect clues. But some scandalous local gossip also suggests that Adrienne, not her sister, might have been the target. Now, Pamela and Bettina will need all their creative skills to solve this ghoulish crime . . .
