A tense new rollercoaster of a thriller from regular New York Times bestseller
Sandra Brown.
Paris Gibson, a talk show host on late-night radio, is trying to come to terms with
the death of her former husband, for which she blames herself. Moreover, she's just
escaped from an affair gone wrong with police psychologist Dean Malloy. But Paris
and Dean are unexpectedly thrown back together when one of Paris's radio callers
tells her that he has kidnapped a woman he plans to kill within seventy-two hours.
Paris and Dean race to identify the mysterious caller before he can proceed with his
murderous plans - and before he can exact revenge on Paris for trying to stop him.
Sandra Brown is one of very few authors to have had three simultaneous
New York Times top ten bestsellers.

Three hundred years ago, the settlers on the small Maine island of Sanctuary were betrayed by one of their own, and slaughtered. Now a band of killers has returned to Sanctuary to seek revenge on a young woman and her son, and the only people who stand in their way are a young rookie officer and the island's resident policeman, the troubled giant known as Melancholy Joe Dupree. But Joe Dupree is no ordinary policeman. He is the guardian of the island's secrets, the repository of its memories. He knows that Sanctuary has been steeped in violence, and that its ghosts will tolerate the shedding of innocent blood no longer. On Sanctuary, the hunters are about to become the hunted.

Vanished Man
Pbk published February 2004 by Coronet at £6.99
ISBN: 0340734043
A killer flees the scene of a homicide at a prestigious Manhattan music school and locks himself in a classroom. Within minutes, the police have him surrounded. Then a scream rings out, followed by a gunshot. The police break down the door. The room is empty. Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs are brought in to help with the high-profile investigation. For the ambitious Sachs, solving the case could earn her a promotion. For the quadriplegic Rhyme, it means relying on his protegee to ferret out a master illusionist they've dubbed 'the conjurer', who balts them with gruesome murders that become more diabolical with each fresh crime. As the fatalities rise and the minutes tick down, Rhyme and Sachs must move beyond the smoke and mirrors to prevent a terrifying act of vengeance that could become the greatest vanishing act of all.

Bernard Knight
ex Home Office Pathologist and author of the highly acclaimed Crowner John series
"Great characters, dynamic plot,
nail-biting action ..."
Elizabeth George
Meg Gardner's debut novel, China Lake,
sold 25,000 in hardback - a stunning figure
that accurately reflects her instant appeal.
This, her second, sees sassy heroine Evan
Delaney - the braveheart legal journalist from
China Lake return. This time she is
determined to bring to justice the man who
was blamed for running down her partner and
killing his friend in a bizarre road accident.
But, having fled the country, why was Franklin
Brand back in town when he knew the law was
after him? And what dirty tricks are his ex-
employer Mako Technologies up to?
In this beautifully constructed thriller, Meg
Gardiner throws up smoke screen after smoke
screen while cementing the relationship between
her heroine, hero and the reader.
Jesse, paraplegic since the accident, and Evan are
on the count-down to their wedding when Brand
is spotted by Jesse in Santa Barbara. The sighting
opens all the barely healed wounds of the accident
which put him in a wheelchair. As he and Evan
investigate, the stress puts an almost intolerable
strain on their relationship. Old truths and
friendships come under the microscope and while
the macabre facts of the accident come slowly into
focus, Evan finds she is literally running for her
life in the hills around Mission Canyon, and the
stretch of road where Jesse faced death.
A graduate of Stanford Law School, Meg has
also taught at the University of California. She
now lives in Surrey with her family.
