Detective Ana Dolabra must prove a condemned man's innocence and confront a terrifying magical technology in this fantasy-mystery from the bestselling author of The Tainted Cup, winner of the Hugo and World Fantasy awards. The heir to one of the Empire's most powerful families sits in jail, accused of murder. His hands are covered in the victim's blood, and he can neither deny his guilt nor explain his actions. But if the great detective Ana Dolabra cannot save him from the noose, the farming canton of Sapirdad will explode into war, threatening to plunge the whole Empire into starvation and chaos. As Ana investigates-her assistant Dinios Kol, as ever, acting as her eyes and ears-she fears her task is even more daunting than it seemed. For this murder is just the latest in a deeper, subtler web of death, woven by a mastermind with an ancient weapon at his disposal. With their customary skill, Ana and Din pursue their adversary through the canton's wild ranges, sprawling ranches, and reeking slaughterhouses.

A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK "Chandler Baker, queen of the feminist thriller, has delivered once again! The Husbands is a poignant exploration of what it would take for women to have it all." -Sally Hepworth, bestselling author of The Good Sister To what lengths will a woman go for a little more help from her husband? Nora Spangler is a successful attorney but when it comes to domestic life, she packs the lunches, schedules the doctor appointments, knows where the extra paper towel rolls are, and designs and orders the holiday cards. Her husband works hard, too... but why does it seem like she is always working so much harder? When the Spanglers go house hunting in Dynasty Ranch, an exclusive suburban neighborhood, Nora meets a group of high-powered women-a tech CEO, a neurosurgeon, an award-winning therapist, a bestselling author-with enviably supportive husbands. When she agrees to help with a resident's wrongful death case, she is pulled into the lives of the women there. She finds the air is different in Dynasty Ranch. The women aren't hanging on by a thread. But as the case unravels, Nora uncovers a plot that may explain the secret to having-it-all. One that's worth killing for. Calling to mind a Stepford Wives gender-swap, New York Times bestselling author of Whisper Network Chandler Baker's The Husbands imagines a world where the burden of the "second shift" is equally shared-and what it may take to get there. "Utterly engrossing and thoroughly timely, The Husbands is both a gripping, well-crafted mystery and an insightful critique of motherhood and marriage in the modern age--working mothers everywhere will feel seen in the best possible way." -Kimberly McCreight, New York Times bestselling author of A Good Marriage

Yahoya is a vigorous example of Jackson Gregory's frontier fiction, shaped by the conventions of the early twentieth-century Western while reaching toward romance, mystery, and moral drama. Its narrative turns on conflict in a rugged borderland world where courage, loyalty, deception, and desire are tested against harsh physical landscapes. Gregory's style is direct, energetic, and pictorial, favoring swift action, sharply drawn confrontations, and a romantic sense of place typical of popular Western storytelling in the period after the frontier had become myth. Jackson Gregory was an American novelist closely associated with Western adventure fiction, especially stories of ranches, deserts, mountains, and contested communities. Writing for readers fascinated by the fading frontier, he transformed regional experience and popular legend into accessible narratives of peril and honor. His work reflects an era when the West functioned both as historical memory and as imaginative stage: a place where modern anxieties could be resolved through decisive action and tested character. Readers interested in classic Westerns will find Yahoya rewarding for its pace, atmosphere, and ethical clarity. It is especially suited to those who value adventure fiction that combines suspense with a strong sense of landscape and frontier myth.

In the new novel in the "breezy [and] humorous" (Chicago Sun-Times) series, Benni Harper is carrying a bundle of holiday stress-as she unwraps the secrets of an elite and possibly murderous society… San Celina's most exclusive society suddenly has an opening and Benni Harper has been tapped-not to join, but to investigate. The upper crust, female-only "49 Club" is restricted to exactly that many members, and one must die before another joins. When the latest socialite de-pledges in her sleep, Benni's boss wants the mystery solved-and naturally, it's landed on Benni's to-do list. Reluctant at first, she profiles a few women whose social ambitions give them an obvious motive. But with a famously reclusive artist about to put Benni's quilting museum on the map-and her daunting mother-in-law soon to arrive-Benni's holiday is already hectic. Nevertheless, she'll need to crack this exclusive circle of suspects, before one more gourmet goose gets cooked.

Love and money are the easy motives in the death of a California beachfront nightclub owner, but death claims investigator Dave Brandstetter is certain of one thing: the case is going to be far from easy and the police have it all wrong.   Rick Wendell wouldn t hurt a flea. The big, jovial owner of the Hang Ten, a surfing-themed gay bay on the boardwalk, was loved by regulars and new arrivals alike. But Rick was found naked and dead, with a local hustler named Larry Johns standing over him, smoking gun in hand. Wendell s death is ruled as a homicide and Johns is arrested. Everyone thinks it s a simple open-and-shut case. Everyone except the death claims investigator, Dave Brandstetter.   Brandstetter, a homosexual himself, doesn t make the same assumptions about the crime scene and easy story it tells. Larry Johns had enough time to escape had he wanted to. Not to mention Johns lacked any discernable motive, especially since the $200 in Wendell s wallet was left untouched. In an investigation that takes him from sun-scorched hillside ranches to seedy boardwalk bars, Brandstetter gets to the bottom of a twisty mystery in this hardboiled and entertaining portrait of the 70s gay culture by groundbreaking poet and award-winning crime writer Joseph Hansen.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK Nothing brings a family together like a murder next door. “I just loved how intriguing the mystery is but also the dynamics between a grandmother, a mother, and a teenage daughter." —Reese Witherspoon Think: Gilmore Girls, but with murder. High-powered businesswoman Lana Rubicon has a lot to be proud of: her keen intelligence, impeccable taste, and the L.A. real estate empire she's built. But when she finds herself trapped 300 miles north of the city, convalescing in a sleepy coastal town with her adult daughter Beth and teenage granddaughter Jack, Lana is stuck counting otters instead of square footage—and hoping that boredom won't kill her before the cancer does. Then Jack—tiny in stature but fiercely independent—happens upon a dead body while kayaking. She quickly becomes a suspect in the homicide investigation, and the Rubicon women are thrown into chaos. Beth thinks Lana should focus on recovery, but Lana has a better idea. She'll pull on her wig, find the true murderer, protect her family, and prove she still has power. With Jack and Beth's help, Lana uncovers a web of lies, family vendettas, and land disputes lurking beneath the surface of a community populated by folksy conservationists and wealthy ranchers. But as their amateur snooping advances into ever-more dangerous territory, the headstrong Rubicon women must learn to do the one thing they've always resisted: depend on each other.

Prepare to meet your newest small-town obsession with this brand-new series of spicy romances full of suspense and mystery. Perfect for readers who love Catherine Cowles, Elsie Silver and Devney Perry! I swore I'd never come back to Blackstone Creek. Officially, I'm here to write a feature on Glacier Ridge Ranch for my editor. Unofficially, I'm following a lead. No matter what anyone says, I never believed my father's death three years ago was just an accident. I came back to Blackstone Creek for answers. Not for Wyatt Hartley. He's still quiet strength wrapped in worn denim and guarded eyes. Still the man who can make my heart race with a single look. And still completely off-limits. We couldn't be more different. Wyatt is gruff, guarded, and happiest alone. I'm the girl who fills every silence and refuses to back down, no matter how many times he pushes me away. Until the night everything changes. The deeper I dig into my father's death, the more dangerous this town becomes. Someone is watching me far too closely. And the closer I get to Wyatt, the harder it is to tell what's more dangerous: the truth... or the man I'm falling for all over again. Tropes: Age gap Forced proximity Grumpy x sunshine Mutual pining Slow burn Found family Protective MMC No third act breakup Praise for Pamela O'Rourke: 'PHENOMENAL. This is literally one of the best books I've read.' 'The chemistry between these two is SO INTENSE! I loved their banter.

Absolutely every single one.' 'The heat in this book was off the charts!! This was perfection! Their passion jumped off the page! I loved every moment.'
