Murder in Pigalle
By Cara Black
June, 1998: Paris’s sticky summer heat is even more oppressive than usual as rowdy French football fans riot in anticipation of the World Cup. Private Investigator Aimée Leduc has been trying to slow down her hectic lifestyle—she’s five months’ pregnant and has the baby’s wellbeing to think about now. But then disaster strikes close to home. A serial rapist has been terrorizing Paris’s Pigalle neighborhood, following teenage girls home and attacking them in their own houses. It is sad and frightening but has nothing to do with Aimée—until Zazie, the 13-year-old daughter of the proprietor of Aimée’s favorite café, disappears.
Praise for the Aimee Leduc series:
“Wry, complex, sophisticated, intensely Parisian…One of the very best heroines in crime fiction today.”—Lee Child
The Daring Ladies of Lowell: A Novel
By Kate Alcott
From the bestselling author of The Dressmaker comes the warm-hearted and enthralling saga of a bold young woman caught between two worlds—the vibrant camaraderie of factory life and the opulence that a budding romance with the mill owner’s son affords—as the murder of her best friend sends shock waves throughout the town. Based on the actual murder of a mill girl and the subsequent trial in 1833, brilliantly captures a transitional moment in America’s history while also exploring the complex nature of love, loyalty, and the enduring power of friendship.
“Alcott draws from dramatic events indelibly etched in history and offers a fresh perspective … Alcott’s work will attract historical romance fans who will be entertained by the antics of the daring ladies who leave everything they know and embrace less-than-ideal conditions to gain their freedom.”
—Library Journal (starred review)
The Weight of Blood: A Novel
By Laura McHugh
The Dane family’s roots tangle deep in the Ozark Mountain town of Henbane, but that doesn’t keep sixteen-year-old Lucy Dane from being treated like an outsider. Folks still whisper about her mother, a bewitching young stranger who inspired local myths when she vanished years ago. When one of Lucy’s few friends, slow-minded Cheri, is found murdered, Lucy feels haunted by the two lost girls—the mother she never knew and the friend she couldn’t protect. What Lucy discovers makes it impossible to ignore the suspicion cast on her own kin. More alarming, she suspects Cheri’s death could be linked to her mother’s disappearance.
“Debut novelist McHugh comes out swinging with this gripping tale set in the Ozarks of Missouri…. Her prose will not only keep readers turning the pages but also paints a real and believable portrait of the connections, alliances, and sacrifices that underpin rural, small-town life in Henbane.”—Library Journal (starred review)
