Suspense novels have many faces next month. Read on to see what might be your perfect match.
Shelter in Place, by Nora Roberts. At a mall outside Portland, Maine, it is a typical evening. Families shopping, movie-goers waiting in line for tickets. And then eight harrowing minutes of chaos and terror before the shooters are taken down. But for those who live through it, the effects are felt forever. One person, however, decides that the death toll was not high enough, and as the survivors heal, that one person sets out to change things. This time, there will be nowhere to hide. Also available in Large Print.
The Crooked Staircase, by Dean Koontz. Koontz's third Jane Hawk novel, following The Silent Corner and The Whispering Room, finds the rogue FBI agent-turned-fugitive continuing her one-woman fight against a terrible conspiracy that threatens the free will of millions. But her ruthless pursuers cannot stop her from closing in on her prey: a cunning man with friends in high places and air-tight security. But nothing can prepare Jane for the chilling truth that awaits her in her quarry's lair. Also available in Large Print.
Robert B. Parker's Old Black Magic, by Ace Atkins. Parker's iconic Boston PI Spenser delves into the black market art scene in this latest series entry. The legendary heist was decades ago, but the theft of priceless pieces from one of Boston's premier museums still feels fresh. When paint chips from one of the most valuable pieces wind up on the desk of a Boston journalist, the museum enlists Spenser to help them renew their search. But what starts as a cold case soon heats up as Spenser finds himself among black market art dealers, aging Mafia bosses, and old vendettas still simmering after all these years.
