    Expulsed Harvard student and ex-Special Forces operative Joe Brody is getting his life back together, living with his grandmother in Queens and taking what should be a simple job as a bouncer at a strip club where he can spend most of his night reading the classics. The only catch is that his childhood friend Gio Caprisi, now head of New York's Italian Mafia, relies on Joe’s extra-legal expertise when things get particularly nasty on the streets—where, in an agreement between Gio and the rest of the city's biggest crime syndicates, it's understood that Joe is the sheriff for an industry that doesn’t call the cops. 
     
     
     
    Most recently, New York's criminal underworld has been shaken by the disappearance of its most successful and desirable call girls, vanishing one by one from the brothels where they're employed. As a pattern emerges, what might otherwise appear to be a choice to pursue a new life comes to resemble something more troublesome—the work of a serial kidnapper—and when a woman turns up dead, the hunt for the predator behind it all becomes even more urgent. 
     
     
     
    To find the killer, Joe will have to plunge into the seediest fringes of Manhattan and its surrounding boroughs, populated with memorable characters that add humor and heart to this fast-paced caper.

    A bundle of books #1 (GIRL ONE: MURDER) and #2 (GIRL TWO: TAKEN) in Molly Black’s Maya Gray FBI Suspense Thriller series! This bundle offers books one and two in one convenient file, with over 100,000 words of reading.
    
    12 cold cases. 12 kidnapped women. One diabolical serial killer. In this bestselling suspense thriller, a brilliant FBI agent faces a deadly challenge: decipher the mystery before each one is murdered.
    
    FBI Special Agent Maya Gray, 39, has seen it all. She’s one of BAU’s rising stars and the go-to agent for hard-to-crack serial cases. When she receives a handwritten postcard promising to release 12 kidnapped women if she will solve 12 cold cases, she assumes it’s a hoax.
    
    Until the note mentions that, among the captives, is her missing sister.
    
    Maya, shaken, is forced to take it seriously. The cases she’s up against are some of the most difficult the FBI has ever seen. But the terms of his game are simple: If Maya solves a case, he will release one of the girls. 
    
    And if she fails, he will end a life.
    
    In GIRL ONE: MURDER (Book #1), Maya embarks with an urgency unlike any she’s ever felt.  In a race against time, and with her sister’s life hanging in the balance, she must unravel the link between the 12 captives and end the killer’s dark game once and for all. Is this killer toying with her? Does he truly have her sister? Will he ever give her back? Or will Maya end up sucked too deep into this killer’s twisted cat-and-mouse game to notice that she, herself, is the prey?
    
    In GIRL TWO: TAKEN (Book #2), Maya must solve the murder of a female corrections officer. A seemingly black-and-white case, closed years ago, the local police refuse to take it up again. But as Maya delves into the world of prisons, correction officers and ex-cons, she quickly sees there is more there than meets the eye. She, it turns out, was not the only officer murdered. It was a serial. And this killer is more complex—and unpredictable—than anyone can imagine. And if Maya doesn’t solve this case soon, her own sister’s life may be on the line. Meanwhile, the first released “bunny” has given the FBI a promising lead on the killer’s whereabouts—but are they walking into a trap? 
    
    A complex psychological crime thriller full of twists and turns and packed with heart-pounding suspense, the MAYA GRAY mystery series will make you fall in love with a brilliant new female protagonist and keep you turning pages late into the night. It is a perfect addition for fans of Robert Dugoni, Rachel Caine, Melinda Leigh or Mary Burton.
    
    Books #3-#6 in the series—GIRL THREE: TRAPPED, GIRL FOUR: LURED, GIRL FIVE: BOUND, and GIRL SIX: FORSAKEN—are now also available.

    🥧 The county fair in the small town of Sugar Ridge is famous for its baking competition, and this year, the rivalry between veteran baker Granny Mae and newcomer Chloe is hotter than a preheated oven. But when the arrogant judge, known for his brutally honest critiques, collapses after tasting Granny Mae's signature peach pie, the festive atmosphere curdles. The cause of death is a rare, undetectable poison, and the prime suspect is Granny Mae herself. Convinced her grandmother is being framed, Chloe dons her detective's apron to find the real culprit. With help from her mischievous goat, Butterscotch, and a dishy food scientist who's sweet on her, Chloe uncovers a recipe for disaster. From sabotaged ingredients and stolen family recipes to a secret affair and a decades-old grudge over a stolen blue ribbon, the fairgrounds are filled with more secrets than a pie has crumbs. Can Chloe find the killer before the fair closes and the culprit skips town, or will she be the next one to get baked?

    It’s day one of Darren Corliss’s career as a detective, and not only has he been assigned a notoriously difficult partner, but the guy might also be a pill-popping dirty cop. Internal Affairs needs proof, and Darren gets to be their eyes and ears whether he wants to or not. 
    Detective Andreas Ruffner doesn’t play by the rules, and he doesn’t play well with others. With bodies piling up and a list of suspects who are way above his pay grade, the last thing he needs is a wet-behind-the-ears kid for a partner. Or babysitter. Not even if that partner is easy on the eyes. 
    As Darren gains Andreas’s hard-won trust, they both realize there’s more than just mutual suspicion simmering beneath the surface. But their investigation is heating up as quickly as their relationship, and Darren has no choice but to go along with Andreas’s unorthodox—and borderline unethical—methods. As IA puts the squeeze on Darren to give up the man he’s falling for, he has to wonder—is Andreas the only cop left in this town who isn’t dirty?
