STIRRED
by Blake Crouch and J.A. Konrath

    In her twenty-five-year career with the Chicago police department, Lt. Jacqueline “Jack” Daniels has seen the worst of humanity. She’s lost loved ones and narrowly escaped death on countless occasions—and she has the nightmares to prove it. Jack is the best the Chicago PD has to offer, and she has brought some of the city’s most notorious criminals to their knees. All, that is, but one…
    Luther Kite is evil incarnate. Depraved and inhumane, he takes life for the sheer pleasure of watching his terrified victims die. He is a monster among monsters, taunting and frustrating law enforcement every bloody step of the way. But when the kills become too easy, he sets his sight on the one victim who can offer him a true challenge, the only woman who is a match for his extraordinary skill: Jack Daniels. And when it comes to killing Daniels, only Kite’s very best work will do.
    Fast-paced, suspenseful, and darkly comic, Stirred brings together J.A. Konrath’s Jack Daniels and Blake Crouch’s Luther Kite for a final heart-stopping showdown that will leave readers reeling!

RUN
by Blake Crouch

    For fans of Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Thomas Harris, picture this: a landscape of American genocide…
    5 DAYS AGO
    A rash of bizarre murders swept the country…
    Senseless. Brutal. Seemingly unconnected.
    4 DAYS AGO
    The murders increased ten-fold…
    3 DAYS AGO
    The President addressed the nation and begged for calm and peace…
    2 DAYS AGO
    The killers began to mobilize…
    YESTERDAY
    All the power went out…
    TONIGHT
    They’re reading the names of those to be killed on the Emergency Broadcast System. You are listening over the battery-powered radio on your kitchen table, and they’ve just read yours.
    Your name is Jack Colclough. You have a wife, a daughter, and a young son. You live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. People are coming to your house to kill you and your family. You don’t know why, but you don’t have time to think about that any more.
    You only have time to….

THE DELILAH COMPLEX
by M.J. Rose

    As one of New York’s top sex therapists, Dr. Morgan Snow sees everything from the abused to the depraved. The Butterfield Institute is the sanctuary where she tries to heal these battered souls.
    The Scarlet Society is a secret club of twelve powerful and sexually adventurous women. But when a photograph of the body of one of the men they’re recruited to dominate—strapped to a gurney, the number 1 inked on the sole of his foot—is sent to the New York Times, they are shocked and frightened. Unable to cope with the tragedy, the women turn to Dr. Morgan Snow. But what starts out as grief counseling quickly becomes a murder investigation, with any one of the twelve women a potential suspect.
    The case leads Detective Noah Jordan—a man with whom Morgan has shared a brief, intense connection—to her office. He fears the number on the man’s foot hints that the killings have just begun. With her hands tied by her professional duty, Morgan is dangerously close to the demons in her own mind—and the flesh-and-blood killer.
    “…M.J. Rose is a bold, unflinching writer and her resolute honesty puts her in a class by herself.”
    —Laura Lippman
    “Utterly fascinating!…This is one book that will keep you glued to your seat.”
