Into the Fire brings Vinh Murphy out of the darkness in which he’s been hiding since his wife, Angelina, was shot and killed during an assignment in Hot Target. I ...
I've picked up more than my fair share of gothics at the UBS and I've enjoyed most of them. When I started reading Die Before I Wake, I thought I had stumbled upon a fabulous throwback to the gothics of old. The subtle but unrelenting aura of menace was there, as was the heroine isolated from all ...
In Mariah Stewart's Forgotten, a murderous pedophile manipulates people from behind bars. Long-lost graves are unearthed, and new victims are found.
