Jeffery Deaver, author of Deceptions

Jeffery Deaver returns with a devious collection, featuring two never-before-published stories in which fan favorites Colter Shaw and Lincoln Rhyme are united by the layers of deception taking over New York City. A murder at a crime writers' conference. The method is entirely literary, and the motive seems obvious. But can the detective who was first on the scene puzzle out what needs reading between the lines? A mysterious woman has gone into hiding, and Colter Shaw is tasked with bringing her to a safe house. But with a hitman on his trails, the race toward safety takes on a whole new meaning. A serial killer with a motive never before seen in the history of crime challenges Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs to rethink everything they know about the nature of evil --- and the evidence its perpetrators leave at the scenes.

Riley Sager, author of The Unknown

Struggling actress Marin Keane is shocked when she lands a role in a major motion picture about the unsolved mystery of New Avalon, an island on sprawling Lake Faraday in Vermont. She’s even more surprised when she learns that the role requires a weeklong research trip to that very spot. A century ago, New Avalon was a commune for spiritual mediums --- until they all vanished in 1926. The only trace of them was five dresses hanging from the branches of an old oak tree in the middle of the island. Not long after arriving, Marin and her castmates --- including legendary actress Violet Wright and white-hot director Ronan Peters --- begin to realize that all is not right with New Avalon. And after a sudden health emergency leaves Marin, Ronan and the other actors stranded on the island, the disappearances begin again.

Lisa Gardner, author of You'll Be Sorry

Raquel, a renowned interior designer, and Theo, a brash financial wizard, met and married in a matter of months, only to confront a terrible tragedy. Now, they’ve come to a remote town in New Hampshire to begin anew. Perched on a ledge with stunning views, the Dixons’ family lodge was once a crown jewel of the mountains. Until late one August night, when both parents and their four children vanished, leaving behind a trail of bloody footprints and a mystery that has endured for 30 years. Its latest occupants, Raquel and Theo, are arriving, and the former grand lodge is once more stirring to life. When a stray dog leads to the discovery of a skeleton on the property, Raquel and Theo face a daunting choice of what to believe, who to trust, and how to survive.
