  The year is 1976. Veteran New Haven homicide detective Frank Suchy has finally learned to cope with the demons in his life and the daily pressure of "the job" — being exposed to every manner of death that could possibly befall someone — all the while celebrating his third year of sobriety.But when his best friend's child is brutally murdered in broad daylight outside a downtown shopping mall, his world begins to deteriorate, bringing back the nightmares that he thought were locked away long ago. Recollections of his brief friendship with rock singer Jim Morrison (who he befriended at the 1967 New Haven concert where the singer was arrested onstage), and all the other terrible memories he had worked so hard to suppress...come pouring back.To make matters worse, there are external forces that threaten Detective Suchy's well-being. Pressure from bureaucrats and the political elite to curtail any exposure of the case to the public in the wake of New Haven's recent massive Urban Renewal Project, and the simmering racial and social divide between the minority communities against the police department in particular, send Detective Suchy over the edge. He spirals out of control in a desperate race against time to solve this horrendous case, hoping to somehow redeem his soul-and the city's, for that matter — even if it means laying down his own life in the process. What Detective Suchy eventually uncovers is the seedy, horrifying underbelly of the 1970s.

  A killer wants Lilly Echosby to roll over and play dead....Lilly may be losing a husband, but she's gaining a toy poodle. That could be seen as a win-win, since her new adopted pooch, Aggie (named after Agatha Christie), is cute and adorable and Lilly's dirty dog of a spouse is cheating on her with a blonde bimbo — except for one problem: Albert Echosby's just been murdered, and Lilly is the number-one suspect.With the cops barking up the wrong tree, it's a good thing her best friend, Scarlett "Dixie" Jefferson, from Chattanooga, Tennessee, decided to take a break from the dog club circuit to pay a visit along with her own prize pair of poodles.With help from Dixie, her defense attorney daughter, and a blue-eyed man in blue with a K-9 partner, Lilly is determined to collar the real killer. But when a second murder occurs, it's clear they're dealing with one sick puppy....

  Home is where the bodies lie in this crime thriller packed with nerve-jangling suspense and moody atmosphere from the award-winning author of Claws. 
   
  The newspapers call them the Savages: a band of home invaders as merciless as they are stealthy. Usually they don’t leave a clue—but this time, they’ve left a body. The first victim is found sprawled on her kitchen floor, blood soaking the terracotta tiles. Before long, another corpse is discovered, dead of fright. As the toll rises, it’s up to DC Ben Cooper and DS Diane Fry to track down the killers. But the enemy isn’t who they think it is. Beneath the sinister shadow of a mountain ridge called the Devil’s Edge, a twisted game is under way, a game more ruthless than the detectives can imagine.
