Reading Ahead: April 2018, part 2

If you're a sucker for series, read on--there are several new entries to some long-time reader favorites!

Twisted Prey, by John Sandford. Lucas Davenport has encountered rich psychopath Taryn Grant before, and he's still convinced she's responsible for at least three murders, even if he can't prove it...yet. Now she's a U.S. Senator and back on Davenport's radar, as he knew she would be. She's involved in some rather shady side deals, and he is one U.S. Marshall who is about to make sure she won't hurt anyone again, one way or another. Also available in Large Print.

The Sixth Day, by Catherine Coulter & J.T. Ellison. This new entry into the writing duo's Brit in the FBI series (following 2017's Devil's Triangle) finds Special Agents Drummond and Caine pitted against a ruthless mastermind. After several major political figures die under mysterious circumstances, officials ultimately rule the deaths to be of natural causes. Then a German Vice-Chancellor dies, and a drone is spotted hovering at the scene. These are not natural at all, but rather highly sophisticated assassinations, and the Covert Eyes team is called in to investigate. This is being billed as the best in the series so far, so if you're interested, I'd absolutely recommend you start at the beginning of the series, The Final Cut. Also available in Large Print

The 17th Suspect, by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro. A series of shootings in San Francisco are the dark deeds of a methodical, yet unpredictable, killer. A reluctant woman puts her trust in Sergeant Lindsay Boxer, coming in as a confidential informant with a tip about the shooter. The tip, however, leads to something bigger and more disturbing, a suspicion that something has gone deeply wrong inside the police department itself. Now Lindsay becomes a target herself, and everything that's dearest to her may be taken from her if she cannot stop the killer...before he stops her. Also available in Large Print
