Not many people would be willing to be lowered down a well to recover a corpse but FBI Agent Megan McKenna, an FBI behavioral scientist, volunteers. The body is that of a young female victim, the third in as many weeks. A suspected serial killer is what brought Meg to Baltimore to work with the Baltimore Police Department and specifically Detective Phil Jenkins. This is Meg's first assignment after a leave of absence brought about by Meg's failure to save a child from a killer such as Baltimore PD now faces. Max is a Labrador retriever and shares Megan's home. Max is a retired FBI search and rescue dog and plays a big part in this novel. Although Meg and Phil did not hit it off at first they are beginning to get into the swing of working together. When Phil calls her in to let her know he has found a link between the victims. At least two of the victims were foster children and both from the same agency. As the two begin their investigation, they feel that there is something off about the foster home. The place is too quiet and no children are visible. The parents of the victims have all moved out of state. There is more than one mystery contained between the pages of The Well Meaning Killer and enough action to keep the reader swiftly turning pages. Are the foster home and the serial killer in some way connected? Will the killer be brought to justice?."--Patricia Reid, BOOK-VIEWS.COM

ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER BOOKS OF ALL TIME • BOOKER PRIZE NOMINEE • “A taut and darkly funny contemporary noir that moves at lightning speed, it’s the wittiest and most fun murder party you’ve ever been invited to.” —MARIE CLAIRE Korede’s sister Ayoola is many things: the favorite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola’s third boyfriend in a row is dead, stabbed through the heart with Ayoola’s knife. Korede’s practicality is the sisters’ saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood (bleach, bleach, and more bleach), the best way to move a body (wrap it in sheets like a mummy), and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures to Instagram when she should be mourning her “missing” boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit. Korede has long been in love with a kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where she works. She dreams of the day when he will realize that she’s exactly what he needs. But when he asks Korede for Ayoola’s phone number, she must reckon with what her sister has become and how far she’s willing to go to protect her.

A PRETTY YOUNG WOMAN . . . Denise Amber Lee was a 21-year-old happily married mother of two little boys. She had her whole life ahead of her. . .until an intruder broke into her Florida home. Within a few short hours she was savagely terrorized, murdered, and buried naked in a shallow grave near a desolate swamp. A DEPRAVED KILLER . . . Michael King, a 38-year-old out-of-work plumber, was a ticking time bomb. For years, neighbors called the police on King, complaining that, among other things, he'd thrown battery acid in their pool and slashed their tires. Denise's fate was far worse. In a horrifying act of cruelty, King bound her with duct tape, raped her repeatedly, then shot her dead. A TRAGIC FAILURE. . . Incredibly, Denise managed to call 911 twice during her abduction. Eyewitnesses and her distraught husband also called, but a slow, inefficient system tragically failed her. As a result, Florida passed the Denise Lee Law, setting voluntary standards for 911 systems. King was sentenced to death. But for Denise and her loving family, it was too late. Includes 16 Pages of Shocking Photos

USA TODAY BESTSELLER “This is a scary, thrilling, page-turning, race-against-the-clock novel if ever there was one, with a true shocker of an ending. Miss this one at your own peril.” —Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter How far would you go to save your child? Five years ago Elizabeth Piccioni’s husband was arrested for being a serial killer. Her life suddenly turned upside down, she did what she thought was best for her newborn baby: she took her son and ran away to start a new life. Now, living in a quiet part of the Midwest with a new identity, Elizabeth is ready to start over. But one day she receives a phone call from a person calling himself Cain. Cain somehow knows about her past life. He has abducted her son, and if Elizabeth wants to save him she must retrieve her husband’s trophies — the fingers he cut off each of his victims. With a deadline of one hundred hours, Elizabeth has no choice but to return to the life she once fled, where she will soon realize that everything she thought she knew is a lie, and what’s more shocking than Cain’s identity is the truth about her husband. For fans of James Patterson, Harlan Coben, and John Sandford.

Bestselling true-crime author Christopher Berry-Dee's latest book tackles the heavy crime of people who randomly kill large numbers of others (spree killers) and those who set out to do so in specific places or situations (mass killers). As such killings become more frequent, the ready availability and ease of obtaining firearms and weak backgrounds checks in the United States inevitably lends to many of these cases, but there have been other recent examples in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Norway, where extremely robust firearms legislation could not stop these horrific crimes. What is more difficult to establish is the motivation behind such killings. Some are occasioned by grievance, real or imagined, while others have their origins in a sense of failure or feelings of inadequacy, yet others seem to be driven by a desire for power over their fellow humans, often coupled with an overriding contempt for the lives of others. In a search for answers, Christopher Berry-Dee offers case studies in some of the most infamous mass killings of the past fifty years, from school massacres to workplace killings, hate crimes to familicides. But is the awful truth that such murderers are almost impossible to predict and therefore almost impossible to prevent? Dig in and find out.

Murder - the most appalling crime of all. It comes in many guises and is as diverse as the victims and perpetrators themselves. But no matter how horrifying, it fascinates as much as it repels. In this updated edition of THE LAW KILLERS, journalist Alexander McGregor examines some of the country's most chilling cases and peels back the civilised layers of our society to reveal some of the horrors that lie beneath, including: The Templeton Wood Murders - Was the same serial killer responsible and is he at last identified? Little Boy Blue - The schoolboy with a continuing compulsion to kill. Forgive Me Father - A trail of slaughter that spread to two countries? Anything You Can Do - The country's most notorious father and son who killed again and again. To Love, Honour and . . . Kill - The double wife-killer who thought he had committed the perfect murder . . . and nearly had. 'Alexander McGregor is the safest pair of hands in Scottish true crime . . . accurate, detailed and written with rare sensitivity - for good reason, The Law Killers was a bestseller' Emeritus Professor David Wilson, leading UK criminologist and presenter of In the Footsteps of Killers and Crime Files
