  The Mexican cartels have never been busier. Drugs are flowing across the U.S.-Mexico border, but something else is flowing too—human trafficking—the “selected” ones headed for a life of sexual slavery. While on their honeymoon in Cancun, Mexico, Blake and Cindy are confronted by a distraught mother whose fourteen-year-old daughter has just been grabbed off the street in her school uniform and whisked away. While Blake still hasn’t come up with a new tagline for his private investigation business, “We Find Stuff”, will have to do for now as Cindy convinces him to sign on to find Isabella. His efforts will take him to Dallas, Texas, where he’ll find himself trying to outsmart and outplay the very dangerous Los Zetas Cartel. How will Blake find Isabella? And if he finds her, how will he rescue her without the cartel knowing about it and retaliating against her family in Mexico? Blake will have to use all his skills to find this “stuff”.

  Cape Kidnappers, New Zealand: On a cliff overlooking the ocean and one of the largest gannet bird colonies in the world, American CEO Harlan Quinn has built his Plan B—a lavish estate, complete with an underground doomsday bunker. When the cleaning staff finds a body within, it appears the victim died of natural causes, but advanced facial decomposition leaves him unidentifiable. It can't be Quinn, according to his property manager/mistress and his wife back in the states, both of whom insist that the tech mogul is in Germany on business. But the uncooperative wife will not allow the police to search the main house for signs that the billionaire was on site, and so forensic odontologist Alexa Glock is called in to identify the body via dental records. Teeth never lie; the victim is indeed Harlan Quinn. All that's left is an autopsy to determine the cause of death. But something odd in the deceased's mouth sets Alexa and the team on a new track—to find Quinn's murderer. As they work to narrow the suspect field, a second homicide—and a stolen cache of weapons from a locked room in the bunker—ramp up the investigation and the risk to Alexa's life. Will she be able to solve this particular riddle before she becomes victim #3?

  “An act of intricate, puzzle-minded fabulism. Part Italo Calvino and part Ed McBain.”—Jim Lewis, Author of New York Times Notable Book Ghosts of New York 
  “[A] playful literary mystery . . . Fans of Anthony Horowitz will find a lot to like.” —Publishers Weekly 
  A clever, electrifying puzzle of a novel, inspired by MC Escher’s optical illusions, in which two mirrored plots —a man waiting for an electrician and a mafia informant entering witness protection— delightfully converge. 
  Franz Escher is waiting for the electrician. His power outlet has a loose connection. To pass the time, he buries himself in a book about a Mafioso-turned-informant Elio Russo. Elio is in jail, awaiting his imminent release into witness protection. He has betrayed so many people that he fears for his life. Unable to sleep, he lies awake at night reading a book about a man named Franz Escher who's waiting for the electrician. His power outlet has a loose connection. . . 
  So begins Wolf Haas’s Short Circuit, an inventive new take on the detective novel. Styled after one of M. C. Escher’s impossible drawings, its two stories gradually intertwine only to solve each other, culminating in one final short circuit. A phenomenon after its German publication, this brilliantly entertaining novel promises to defy all expectation.
