  The first in a new crime series with Nordic-noir elements featuring a compelling female detective, for fans of Lisa Jewell and Stieg Larsson, by a two-million-copy digital–bestselling author 
    
  A deadly pattern: Jenny Flynn, Chelsea Hobbs, Sophie Miller. All three children were snatched from the streets of Lincoln, England years apart. All stolen in the bitter chill of winter. All on their way home from school. Then Sophie Miller is found. She’s not speaking, but she may hold a clue to the whereabouts of the missing girls, if someone can get her to open up. 
    
  Somewhat reluctantly, Detective Swann calls in his not-quite ex-wife, the perfect woman for the job: Finnish Crime Inspector Elea Baker. No one knows the cases of the Ice Angels better than Elea, and no one is more invested in solving them. Ten years ago, Elea’s daughter Liisa was taken under similar circumstances, from Helsinki, and Elea has never believed her daughter is dead. 
    
  Alternating between Elea and Liisa’s perspectives, The Ice Angels is a propulsive and twisty thriller of spine-chilling quality, exploring the darkest and most warped of minds. The cold isolation of the English and Finnish landscapes permeates the story, immersing the reader in Elea’s world as she desperately searches for the connection between the missing girls, clinging to the hope she can bring her own home.

  Lilith, written by the father of fantasy literature, George MacDonald, was first published in 1895. Its importance was recognized in its later revival in paperback by Ballantine Books as the fifth volume of the celebrated Ballantine Adult Fantasy series in September, 1969. Lilith is considered among the darkest of MacDonald's works, and among the most profound. It is a story concerning the nature of life, death and salvation. Many believe MacDonald is arguing for Christian universalism, or the idea that all will eventually be saved. (Summary from Wikipedia)

  A girl walks out of her house on an ordinary summer morning and never comes back. What follows is not a mystery but a reckoning: with the boy who killed her, with the mother who managed his future, with the mechanism that called fourteen years justice, and with the wound that remains long after the debt is declared paid. 
  "The Wound Remains Faithful: A Tragedy of Nora" traces fifty years of aftermath, from the August morning when Nora disappeared through the decades of ordinary life her killer was permitted to live. This is tragedy in the oldest sense: the witnessing of destruction known from the first page, felt nonetheless. 
  Written by David Boles. Published by Boles Books, New York City.

  How well do you really know your neighbors? 
   
   
   
  Veteran serial killer Klaus Fischer is determined that his most recent murder will be his last, but like many retirements, this one isn't sticking. No one has come close to suspecting he's buried the victims on his quiet suburban California cul-de-sac property—but he's feeling the urge to kill again, and this time he's set his sights on a target dangerously close to home. 
   
   
   
  Widowed Peg Jurgensen has lived on the cul-de-sac for the past fifteen years, and she's ready to shed her doldrums and re-enter the world around her. And where better to start than with mothering the curious young teen Eliza van Damal, whose family just moved to the cul-de-sac in order to expose their daughter to a better life. 
   
   
   
  Eliza, however, prefers to coerce the enigmatic hermit next door, Alex, into helping her pass math. Alex wishes the lot of them would disappear. 
   
   
   
  The closer these misfits become, the more danger even the most ordinary conversations invite. As the body count rises, can these residents trust anyone hiding behind their doors on this street? 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
