Fiction: (all quotes from publishers’ summaries)
Black Ice by Brad Thor (F THO Har.20)
“Scot Harvath is having his best summer ever. But America’s top spy has a decision to make- return or submit his resignation. When his deadly past comes calling, though, he’ll be left with no choice. In a race against time that will take him high above the Arctic Circle, Harvath is tested in ways he has never imagined and pushed to a limit few human beings could ever endure. If he succeeds, he’ll walk away with everything. If he fails, the United States and its allies will be at the mercy of one of the world’s most dangerous actors.”
False Witness by Karin Slaughter (F SLA)
“Leigh Collier is an up-and-coming defense attorney at a prestigious law firm in Atlanta. But Leigh’s ordinary life masks a childhood no one should have to endure- a childhood tarnished by secrets, betrayal, and a brutal act of violence. On a Sunday night at her daughter’s school play, she gets a call to come on board to defend a wealthy man. When she meets the accused face-to-face, she realizes that it’s no coincidence that he’s asked for her to represent him. She knows him. And he knows her. More to the point, he may know what happened over twenty years ago, and why Leigh has spent two decades avoiding her past. The only person who can help is her younger, estranged sister Callie.”
The Morgans by William W. Johnstone (WF JOH Mor.1)
“There’s nothing particularly unusual for a legendary gunman to be summoned to the lawless, bullet-riddled territory of Arizona. But when Frank Morgan, aka the Last Gunfighter, rides into Tucson, he finds himself ambushed and kidnapped by ruthless Mexican bandit Ramirez’s army of thugs. The only way out is for Frank’s son, Conrad Browning, heir to the vast Browning fortune, to ransom his father free. But Conrad isn’t giving up one cent. He’s got a far deadlier currency in mind.”
Not a Happy Family by Shari Lapena (F LAP)
“In the quiet, wealthy enclave of Brecken Hill, an older couple is brutally murdered hours after a tense Easter dinner with their three adult children. Who, of course, are devastated. Or are they? They each stand to inherit millions. They were never a happy family. Did someone snap after that dreadful evening? Or did another person appear later that night with the worst of intentions? After all, if one of the family were capable of something as gruesome as this, you'd know. Wouldn't you?”
The Third Grave by Lisa Jackson (F JAC)
“Amongst the ruins of the old Beaumont mansion lies a terrible secret. In the cellar are three graves- but only two skeletons. They belong to Holly and Poppy Duval who disappeared 20 years ago. But where is their missing youngest sister? Detective Pierce Reed is assigned to the case, which becomes complicated by his reporter wife, Nikki, trying to get the scoop on the ground-breaking new find. As Reed and Nikki start to piece together what really happened all those years ago, it becomes clear that the killer is anything but finished.”
