Per trascorrere più tempo con i suoi figli, la detective Nikki Liska ha scelto di dedicarsi ai cosiddetti “cold case”, i casi del passato rimasti irrisolti. Al momento si sta occupando dell’omicidio di un poliziotto avvenuto venticinque anni fa, ma le manca l’adrenalina della sua vecchia vita e soprattutto le manca il suo partner, Sam Kovac. Sam, dal canto suo, è alle prese con un crimine scioccante. Una coppia di mezza età è stata fatta a pezzi all’interno della propria abitazione. L’arma con cui è stato commesso l’efferato crimine è una spada da samurai. I due coniugi trucidati sembra fossero delle persone assolutamente normali. Ma chi erano in realtà? E perché sono stati presi di mira? Le tracce di entrambi i casi sembrano condurre a una donna… Nikki Liska e Sam Kovac riusciranno a rintracciarla prima che sia troppo tardi? Una storia terrificante ad altissima tensione, con stratagemmi narrativi che disorientano il lettore in cerca della soluzione. La Hoag tesse una rete di emozionanti colpi di scena che tengono il lettore con il fiato sospeso fino all’ultima pagina.

Dana Nolan aveva davanti a sé una promettente carriera come reporter televisiva prima che un noto serial killer la rapisse per farne la sua “ragazza numero 9”. Dana è riuscita miracolosamente a fuggire, ma a distanza di un anno il suo corpo e la sua mente portano ancora il segno delle torture subite. Ossessionata da terribili flashback e tormentata dagli incubi, Dana torna nella sua città natale per cercare di rimettere insieme i frammenti della sua vita distrutta. Ma i luoghi e le persone dell’infanzia non le procurano il conforto sperato. La straziante storia della reporter rapita e il suo ritorno a casa riaccendono infatti l’interesse della polizia e dei media su un vecchio caso irrisolto: la scomparsa di Casey Grant, migliore amica di Dana, svanita nel nulla l’estate dopo il diploma. Terrorizzata da verità rimaste sepolte troppo a lungo, Dana comincia così a indagare sul proprio passato, ma adesso i fatti le appaiono sotto una luce nuova, e sui volti familiari di un tempo è calata l’ombra del sospetto, tanto da farle mettere in dubbio tutto ciò che nella sua vita precedente aveva dato per certo…

"Spiacente". È la frase scritta sullo specchio davanti al corpo dell'agente Andy Fallon, penzolante in un bagno del suo bel appartamento. Un suicidio o uno scherzo finito in tragedia? In ogni caso non si tratta di omicidio e l'indagine è trattata dal dipartimento come una pura formalità. Non la pensano così gli agenti incaricati del caso, Liska e Kovac, se non altro per rispetto al padre di Fallon: Iron Mike, ex poliziotto, per anni colonna portante del loro dipartimento. La fretta con cui il caso viene archiviato pone dubbi sulla buona fede del dipartimento e quando, il giorno del funerale, Iron Mike viene ritrovato morto in circostanze identiche a quelle del figlio, i sospetti crescono a dismisura...

La notte è il momento che preferisce per i suoi macabri rituali: sistema accuratamente i corpi, versa lentamente il combustibile. Poi accende un fiammifero. Fino a ora, questo efferato serial killer ha ucciso solo sbandate e prostitute, il che gli ha permesso di avere vita facile con le svogliate indagini della polizia. Ma nella sua ultima, mortale messa in scena ha commesso due imperdonabili errori: ha ridotto in cenere la figlia di uno dei maggiori industriali di Minneapolis e si è esibito di fronte a un ignaro pubblico. Ora la polizia ha un testimone, che però non parla.

Il vicesceriffo Annie Broussard è decisa a scoprire l'assassino di Pam Bichone a evitare che il brutale omicidio diventi l'ennesimo caso di giustizia negata alle donne. La pista ufficiale conduce a un corteggiatore troppo aggressivo, ma Annie non ne è persuasa. Siamo in Lousiana, e il suo celebre Carnevale è imminente: muovendosi ai limiti della legalità in un ambiente infido e ambiguo, la poliziotta si addentra in un labirinto di passioni e ossessioni arrivando a scoprire la verità.

The investigation takes a shocking turn when fingerprints at the scene link back to Genevieve, casting suspicion on her as both victim and accused.

From award-winning author Tami Hoag comes a warm, moving story of two cultures in conflict and two hearts in love. Matt Thorne had come to his sister's rural inn to recover from an injury far from the city and his fast-paced life as an emergency room physician. Drifting between sleep and waking, Matt didn't trust his eyes when he saw the young woman who sat at his bedside in her plain cotton dress and apron, her chestnut hair tucked demurely beneath a white bonnet, like a beautiful vision from the past century. Sarah Troyer had been warned about the womanizing Dr. Throne, but nothing prepared her for the shiver of desire that shook her to her core when she gazed at him. Though her life was bound by the simple Amish way, Sarah had always longed for the world outside. Her job at the inn already branded her as a rebel in her community, and falling in love with a stranger would mean the loss of her family and the only life she knew. Yet something sparked within her with every touch of his hand, each glance from his dark eyes. Sarah was willing to allow herself a brief, secret adventure in the arms of a forbidden man. But she hadn't counted on Matt's passionate love—a love that would not let go, a love that could cost them both everything they knew....
