Munich, 1931. A young woman is found dead in Adolf Hitler's apartment. The official verdict is suicide. Detective Inspector Thomas Bauer knows it's murder. The victim is Geli Raubal – Hitler's niece, prisoner, and secret shame. Within hours, Bauer's investigation is shut down. Witnesses are silenced. Evidence disappears. As the Nazi movement gathers power, the truth must be kept hidden at all costs. Only Bauer dares to keep digging. Decades later, historian Eleanor Robbins uncovers traces of a story erased from the record – a vanished investigation and proof of crimes buried for nearly a century. Some truths can change history. But uncovering them might cost everything.

She says she didn't kill her parents. The evidence says she did. Seventeen-year-old Janelle Thompson stands trial for the brutal murder of her adoptive parents, who were discovered buried in their own yard. As the courtroom closes in, the past resurfaces: threats ignored, violence misunderstood, and one moment of fear that changed everything. Fingerprints, ballistics, and witnesses all point to her guilt. The jury is ready to convict. But the truth is far more dangerous than anyone expects.

A true-crime author gets swept up in a murder plot in The Writer, a psychological thriller that is "excellent ... perfectly executed ... genuinely suspenseful, even shocking" (Booklist). NYPD Detective Declan Shaw gets a call: How fast can you get to the Beresford building on Central Park West? In the tower apartment, Shaw finds two people. One of them is famous. One of them is dead. And only one of them knows the ending to this story. Is it the victim or the killer? "One gonzo plot twist follows the next ... loads of fun."―Publishers Weekly "Nothing is as it seems in this incredible novel ... One of the best books of the year."―Red Carpet Crash
