Fans of historical mysteries won't want to miss this event with Rebecca Cantrell. In her debut novel, Cantrell drew readers in to the dark and stormy Berlin of 1931 from the seedy, underground Cabaret lifestyle, to the rising Nazi menace. Now, in A Night of Long Knives, she brings back her crime reporter Hannah Vogel as she desperately searches the country she fled to rescue Anton, the boy she adopted as her son. Though she vowed never to set foot in her native Germany as long as the Nazis were in power, Vogel and Anton wind up there after their aircraft is rerouted to Munich by the boy's powerful, estranged father.

In bestselling author Shane Gericke's latest, Torn Apart, a tidal wave of violence is rushing full-speed toward the quiet Chicago suburb of Naperville, Illinois. Detective Emily Thompson is ready to stop the bloody crime spree in its tracks, but she's up against a deadly countdown that threatens everyone she knows and loves. In these final desperate hours, Emily will bring down the most diabolical killer she has ever faced-or die trying.
