    In the vein of John MacDonald's Cape Fear, Ahlborn takes the classic stalker tale and updates it for the modern era. 
     
     
     
    The house sits stoic and slightly askew off the coast of Raven's Head. Its off-kilter windows are both charming and disorienting, its walls of overstuffed bookshelves both comforting and claustrophobic. When Leo and Lark Parrish arrive at their vacation home with their parents, their mother's idea of a quintessential Maine getaway seems like both a blessing and a curse. Lark—a novice novelist—can't wait to find inspiration at the end of a fog-entombed pier. And while being trapped in a house with no means of escape is the last thing Leo would consider a good time—especially with parents on the precipice of divorce—he can't help but wonder if maybe the change of scenery will help him shake off the chains of sadness brought on by the death of his closest friend. 
     
     
     
    But what starts off as a relatively benign family trip quickly turns menacing. Leo finds himself face-to-face with what feels like his best friend reaching out from beyond the grave, and only hours after they arrive, Lark begins to receive sinister texts. And then they both see it: someone lurking in the shadows of their rental home. Someone who has been expecting them despite the Parrishes being a thousand miles from home.

    Every nightmare has a beginning. 
    While researching the origins of King’s Court, Jack meets Percy Simmons, a 99-year-old ex-guard who began his career at the infamous prison way back in 1935. The man has a story to tell, one involving such names as Harry Lightman, Squizzy Taylor, and other notorious criminals of the time. These were the days of the razor gangs, when guards ruled with an iron fist and the executioner took care of the rest. 
    But inmates are just half the story, with Percy revealing the insights into a system seen as more corrupt than the people they were meant to watch. With a ruthless warden at the helm, and a captain of the guards more notorious than the prison itself, this is one nightmare few will survive. Is Jack ready to meet the ghosts of the infamous jail, or will a shocking revelation drag him back into the depths of his own personal hell? 
    Brothers in Anarchy is the third book in the MAX series, a raw and brutal story of survival. If you like your books fast-paced, gripping and original, then you’ll love this new and exciting crime thriller series.
