Description
When his
estranged
grandfather is
shot and left for
dead, an Army
Ranger must plunge
into the criminal
underworld of his
youth to find a
murderer and
uncover a shocking
family secret in
this atmospheric
and evocative
debut thriller.
Van Shaw
was raised to be a
thief, but at
eighteen he
suddenly broke all
ties to that life
and joined the
military—abandoning
his illicit past
and the
career-criminal
grandfather who
taught him the
trade. Now, after
ten years of
silence, his
grandfather has
asked him to come
home to Seattle.
But when Van
arrives, he
discovers his
grandfather
bleeding out on
the floor from a
gunshot to the
head. With a
lifetime of tough
history between
him and the old
man, Van knows
he’s sure to be
the main suspect.
The only
way he can clear
his name is to go
back to the world
he’d sworn to
leave behind.
Tapping into his
criminal skills,
he begins to hunt
the shooter and
uncover what drove
his grandfather to
reach out after so
long. But in a
violent,
high-stakes world
where right and
wrong aren’t
defined by the
law, Van finds
that the past is
all too present .
. . and that the
secrets held by
those closest to
him are the
deadliest of all.
Edgy and
suspenseful, rich
with emotional
resonance, gritty
action, and a
deep-rooted sense
of place, Past
Crimes
trumpets the
arrival of a
powerful talent in
the mold of Dennis
Lehane, Robert B.
Parker, and John
D. MacDonald.
In a
first-time
collaboration,
“Queen of Suspense”
Mary Higgins Clark
partners with
bestselling author
Alafair Burke to
deliver a brand new
suspense series
about a television
program featuring
cold case murders.
Television producer
Laurie Moran is
delighted when the
pilot for her
reality drama, Under
Suspicion, is
a success. Even
more, the program—a
cold case series
that revisits
unsolved crimes by
recreating them with
those affected—is
off to a fantastic
start when it helps
solve an infamous
murder in the very
first episode.
Now Laurie has the
ideal case to
feature in the next
episode of Under
Suspicion: the
Cinderella Murder.
When Susan Dempsey,
a beautiful and
multi-talented UCLA
student, was found
dead, her murder
raised numerous
questions. Why was
her car parked miles
from her body? Had
she ever shown up
for the acting
audition she was due
to attend at the
home of an
up-and-coming
director? Why does
Susan’s boyfriend
want to avoid
questions about
their relationship?
Was her
disappearance
connected to a
controversial church
that was active on
campus? Was she
close to her
computer science
professor because of
her technological
brilliance, or
something more? And
why was Susan
missing one of her
shoes when her body
was discovered?
With the help of
lawyer and Under
Suspicion host
Alex Buckley, Laurie
knows the case will
attract great
ratings, especially
when the former
suspects include
Hollywood’s elite
and tech
billionaires. The
suspense and drama
are perfect for the
silver screen—but is
Cinderella’s
murderer ready for a
close-up?
Together Mary
Higgins Clark and
Alafair Burke
deliver an exciting
publishing event:
the start of a
thrilling new series
guaranteed to keep
you guessing until
the last suspenseful
page. - See more at:
