True Blue by David Baldacci
A mysterious
high-profile homicide in the nation's capital collides with the dark
side of national security in David Baldacci's new, heart-stopping
thriller: TRUE BLUE.
Mason "Mace" Perry was a
firebrand cop on the D.C. police force until she was kidnapped and
framed for a crime. She lost everything-her badge, her career, her
freedom-and spent two years in prison. Now she's back on the outside and
focused on one mission: to be a cop once more. Her only shot to be a
true blue again is to solve a major case on her own, and prove she has
the right to wear the uniform. But even with her police chief sister on
her side, she has to work in the shadows: A vindictive U.S. attorney is
looking for any reason to send Mace back behind bars. Then Roy Kingman
enters her life.
Roy is a young lawyer who aided the poor until
he took a high-paying job at a law firm in Washington. Mace and Roy meet
after he discovers the dead body of a female partner at the firm. As
they investigate the death, they start uncovering surprising secrets
from both the private and public world of the nation's capital.
Soon,
what began as a fairly routine homicide takes a terrifying and
unexpected turn-into something complex, diabolical, and possibly lethal.
Tough Customer by Sandra Brown
Mitchell and Associates Series #2
Hard-living
detective-turned-P.I., Dodge Hanley tries not to dwell on the past. But
when he gets a call from Caroline King, “the one” who got away, there’s
no time for looking back; their daughter is in trouble.
Caroline
has told Berry that Dodge is an old friend they can rely on to prove she
didn’t shoot her ex-lover, even though she’s already told the cops she
saw the real culprit. It was Oren Starks, Berry insists, a former
co-worker fired for stalking her. Dodge believes his daughter…and he’s
pretty sure Deputy Ski Nyland does, too, considering how hard he’s
working to find Starks. Berry’s told them he’s depraved, and from what
they learn, she’s got him pegged. But nut jobs play by their own crazy
rules. The only thing clear to Dodge is that Starks is obsessed with
having Berry…or killing her, and neither is acceptable to a man who’s
determined to right some old wrongs, even if he has to risk his life—not
to mention his heart—to do it.
Haven by Kay Hooper
Bishop/Special Crimes Unit Series #13
Another nightmare, in the woods this time. Different: She was running. Trying to escape.
But the same ending. Always the same ending. Another dead girl…
Emma
Rayburn was born and raised in Baron Hollow, North Carolina, and it was
a quiet life. Then came the accident…and the nightmares—each filled
with unshakable visions of darkness, blind panic, and desperate women
chased toward inevitable death. With no reports of local women missing
or found dead, Emma has written it off to troubled imaginings—night
after dreaded night. Until her sister arrives.
Jessie Rayburn,
psychic investigator for a firm called Haven, has been estranged from
Emma for years. Unresolved issues from Jessie’s past have not only kept
them apart but have been clouding Jessie’s unique abilities. A return to
her hometown to face a dark and violent incident from years gone by is
her chance to regain them. But reconciliation with the past comes with a
price. Few people in Baron Hollow are welcoming Jessie back. No one
dares to breathe a word. And in this conspiracy of silence, Emma’s
nightmares are becoming more vivid than ever.
Even with the help
of Noah Bishop, head of the FBI Special Crimes Unit and co-founder of
Haven, Jessie and Emma soon find themselves outnumbered by the secrets
buried in Baron Hollow—and outrunning an evil that has been festering
for years, one that’s targeting Jessie and Emma one last time.
Sweet Talk by Julie Garwood
Attorney and IRS agent
Olivia Mackenzie is the kind of tough, wise-cracking, powerful woman
fans expect from a Garwood protagonist—but this time she has outdone
herself. Olivia is not just any woman, she is every woman; flawed in
the familiar ways so many of us are.
On the trail of an
elaborate Ponzi scheme, one that threatens to ruin the lives of naïve
and unsuspecting victims, Olivia suddenly finds her own life is in
danger after she asks questions of the wrong people. She is accustomed
to fighting for the underdog, but being vulnerable herself is a very
different story. Smart enough to know when enough is enough, Olivia
calls for reinforcements.
When she meets FBI Agent Grayson
Kincaid there is an immediate and obvious attraction, palpable on both
sides. Together they make an excellent team to fight corruption but
Olivia is also fighting the immediate and intense attraction she feels
for Agent Kincaid, and that may be a battle she is bound to lose.
