Book Description
A 2021 INDIE NEXT Pick A Women's National Book Association 2021 Great Group Read When Angie is awakened by a midnight call from an officer with the Boise Police Department, she thinks there must be a misunderstanding. The officer tells her that her husband was involved in a shooting at a local bar, but how can that be possible when her husband is sleeping right next to her? Except when she turns to wake him, he isn’t there. Tessa is the twenty-three-year-old bartender who escapes to a backroom storage closet during the shooting. When it comes to light that five people were killed, she is burdened with the question of why she survived. Joyce wakes up to a knock at her front door, a knock she assumes is her wayward son, Jed, who must have lost his keys. It’s not Jed, though. Two police officers tell her that Jed is dead, shot at the bar. Then they deliver even worse news: “We have reason to believe your son was the shooter.” So begins the story of three women tied together by tragic fate—a wife trying to understand why her now-comatose husband was frequenting a bar in the middle of the night, the young woman who her husband was apparently pursuing, and a mother who is forced to confront the reality of who her son was and who she is.

Book Description
Turnabout may not always be fair play in the gulfs between the stars. But so destructive and malicious are the Agronians of this story that we can readily forgive Richard Smith for filling their ship with an unexpected reversal of a victory technique almost too ghastly to contemplate. We have no sympathy for them—and neither has Mr. Smith. Still, we’re rather glad he decided to make human heroism the cornerstone of a most exciting tale of conflict in space.

How do you investigate a murder when the victim seems to have no past? A puzzling new crime thriller by the author of A Fatal Move. When Oliver Upton is shot dead on a golf course, DCI Fleming and his team look for details about the man’s life, but they aren’t easy to find.

Not even the victim’s new partner, Jamila Kazan, knows much about him—and the mystery deepens when Kazan is also shot. Grasping for clues, Fleming investigates Kazan’s ex, who joined a rifle club after their breakup—and Upton’s ex, who may have been abused by him. But after Fleming heads to Edinburgh to follow a lead, he soon learns that Upton had a good reason for leaving his past behind, and that far more lies at the heart of these crimes . . .
