She’s been trying to put the crime out of her mind; what could she have done, really? She just can’t forget that woman, the woman she might have saved, and the terrible nagging guilt.

THE FALLEN: A Quinn Colson Novel by Ace Atkins (Thriller)
Mississippi sheriff Quinn Colson had to admit he admired the bank robbers. A new bank was hit almost every week, and the robbers rushed in and out with such skill and precision it reminded him of raids he’d led back in Afghanistan and Iraq when he was an army ranger. If he stood any chance of catching them, he was going to need the help of old allies, new enemies and a lot of luck.
THE LATE SHOW by Michael Connelly (Thriller)
Renée Ballard works the night shift in Hollywood, beginning many investigations but finishing none.

LOOK BEHIND YOU by Iris Johansen and Roy Johansen (Thriller)
A serial killer is on the loose in San Diego with a most unusual M.O. With each kill, the perpetrator leaves behind mystifying random objects. In this confusing array of unrelated evidence, the one thing that is clear is that the murders all have one characteristic in common: they all require the specific skills of Kendra Michaels, hired gun for both the CIA and FBI.
