What She Doesn't Know

Pamela Crane

Sinopse

When her estranged husband shows up on her doorstep, Ginger Mallowan thinks she's finally getting her happily ever after…until he disappears and a deadly threat surfaces.

Rick Mallowan had never been the type of father to play catch with his sons. Or the kind of husband to stick around. But when he shows up begging for another chance to win Ginger's long-retired heart, she can't deny her first love. He's proven he's a changed man, and it feels like a dream come true. But a nightmare begins when he vanishes and someone is seeking revenge.
Unlike Rick's previous disappearing acts, this time he leaves behind a trail of terrifying clues: 
Cryptic notes exposing secrets that put a target on her back.
Bullets aimed at her in a deadly warning.
Someone close to her abducted without a trace.
Despite the missing years and unanswered questions, nothing can scare Ginger away from digging into the past to catch a killer… even if it costs her heart breaking all over again. As the search dredges up traumatic memories along with shocking clues from the 1970s, will flower power be enough to uncover The Who behind the death threats?

While the truth might be dangerous, what she doesn't know might kill her.

The Owl Cries

Hye-young Pyun

From the Shirley Jackson Award–winning author of The Hole, a slow-burning noir thriller with a touch of horror and the uncanny A disappearance. A missing brother. A lawyer asking questions. And a vast forest in the mountains—the western woods—where the trees huddle close together emanating a crushing darkness and a chill dampness fills the air. The ranger, In-su Park, who lives nearby with his family, is a recovering alcoholic. He claims no knowledge of the man who disappeared, even though the missing man had worked as the ranger just before him. In the little village down the mountain, the shopkeepers will do the same and deny they ever saw or knew the man, though they’re less convincing; and his former supervisor at the Forestry Research Center, Professor Jin, dismisses his importance. But when an accident and a death derail the investigation and someone attempts to break into his office, In-su Park finds himself conducting his own inquiry into the goings-on deep in the heart of the western woods—spurred by the mysterious words he discovers on a piece of paper beneath his desk: “In the forest the owl cries.” The Owl Cries is a treat for fans of Stephen King, David Lynch, and the nightmare dystopias of Franz Kafka.
