It's New Year's Day, 2014. Joshua Rothchild, a young NYPD sergeant, and his officers respond to the city's first homicide of the year. The victim is a middle-aged ex-con, found riddled with bullets in a hallway. After an embarrassing mishap at the crime scene, Josh is soon bitten during a violent encounter with a suspect. He was already considering a career change, and recent events are pushing him to leave policing for good.

Amid the flurry of police activity in their Brooklyn precinct, no one gives much thought to the New Year's Day homicide. But as the weeks go by, a dogged detective named Espinoza continues to investigate a murder that everyone else has forgotten.

As a series of violent events unfolds, Josh begins to question his detachment and decides to help Espinoza with the murder investigation. But often the biggest danger to cops comes from within the shadowy labyrinth of the NYPD, such as higher-ups who are more concerned about their precinct's statistical performance than justice for the victims.

Will Josh be able to leave a job he once loved with his head held high, or will he be crushed by the grinding gears of the department? If he really wants to help solve the murder, he'll have to put aside his preconceptions and dodge the bullets coming at him from all sides.

Goldstein, David: - David Goldstein grew up in New York and attended Florida State University, where he earned a degree in Criminology along with many other prospective civil servants. After serving as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, David spent two and a half years as a patrol officer with the LAPD in Los Angeles.

He also wanted to showcase the tough work and even tougher decisions that patrol officers often have to make with limited time and resources.David is also the author of a book of short crime fiction, Back Alleys and Unauthorized Donut Shops.

"If there's a better crime series set in Japan, I've not yet read it." Crime Thriller Hound.

Money isn't everything. It's the deadly thing.

After the murder of a high-flying executive in one of Tokyo's wealth management firms, Detective Hiroshi finds himself investigating the financial schemes that secure the money of Tokyo's elite investors. His forensic accounting gets sidetracked, though, by a second murder and the abduction of two girls from the home of a hotshot wealth manager.

The abducted girls are the daughters of an international couple who seemed to have it all-a large apartment in the high-end Azabu district, top schools for the children, and a life of happy affluence. Their life falls apart and they are swept up in threats and pursuits for reasons they cannot fathom.

Tracking the money and tracking the two daughters leads Hiroshi into Tokyo's murky financial past and outside Japan's borders as he discovers how overseas investments and tax shelters are really managed.

Hiroshi works with Sakaguchi and Takamatsu and others on the homicide team, including an assertive new detective, as they confront greed and violence in one of the wealthiest cities in the world.

Azabu Getaway is the fifth novel in the award-winning Detective Hiroshi series.

Panic grips the streets of London as a deranged killer begins targeting high-profile influencers.

At the same time, Jessica Hunter is back in her hometown for the holidays, accompanied by her schoolfriend Kenta Higashi. While Jessica grows restless during her summer course at King's College, Kenta is captivated by his first visit to London and its endless attractions. Seeking a distraction, Jessica throws herself into the murder case that has left the police baffled.

But as the influencer murders draw Jessica and Kenta deeper into their sinister orbit, the young sleuths are thrust into unexpected worlds-from the nocturnal realm of urban explorers to the shadowy circles of London's elite celebrities.

With the media in a frenzy and the city's eyes fixed on who the killer's next victim might be, Jessica and Kenta uncover a mystery darker than anything they've faced before-one that pits them against a foe more twisted and deadly than they could have imagined.

Hi. I'm Mae West. No. Not the actress.

If you would've told me year ago that I was going to be broke and penniless after my husband took everyone to the cleaners after he pulled off one of the biggest Ponzi schemes, leaving me a run down campground, a set of camper keys, before he escaped prison and when the FBI came to the campground to see if I helped him escape, then the no good you know what floated up to the top of the lake in that campground making me the number one suspect, I'd said you were lying.

Sometimes even the deepest, darkest secrets find their way to the surface. Thirteen-year-old Willie Compton and his younger brother Leonard stumble upon a mine shaft while hiking the hills of Park City, Utah. A Slinky Leonard's been flipping back and forth between his hands slips through his fingers. Leonard bolts forward and reaches out to grab it, but he slips, then he falls into the shaft. Bed of Bones tells a tale of murder, shining a big, bold light on Park City's tragic past. A past that's about to revisit the present.

"Carrying a girl
Across the river;
The hazy moon."

Robert glances up from the book of Haiku verse. "That's like us."

"Is it?" I ask with a smile.

Blue shifts on the couch next to me, pressing more weight against my side. Nila and Frank lay together, their limbs intertwined, on the marble floor.

Robert is half in shadow, his green glass shaded reading lamp throwing a pale yellow circle across his lap and chest. A small, leather-bound book lays open in one of his long-fingered, elegant hands.

The last wisps of the sunset, just the palest, most powdery blues and darkest hues of purple, light up the sky and filter through the wall of glass, casting shadows around the living room.

Robert's phone, lying on the table next to him, vibrates, sending a low hum through the quiet, peaceful room. He glances at the screen and then answers it.

"Yes, Brock." Brock is his head of home security and handles the safety and impenetrability of this mansion on Star Island-a refuge for the extremely wealthy in Biscayne Bay, just east of downtown Miami. "I see."

Robert's gaze meets mine, his blue-green eyes narrowing. The fine lines around them deepen. In his fifties, with dark hair silvering at the temples, Robert is an imposing presence. It's not just that he's over six feet tall and well-muscled. Or that he moves with the elegance and speed of a killer, either. There is an aura of power that surrounds Robert Maxim-wafts from him-and demands to be acknowledged.

He closes the book of poems and leaves it on the side table. Blue, Nila, and Frank lift their heads, collars jangling. The puppies look to their father for direction. Eight months old, with gigantic paws, soft features, and keen instincts, they are almost as tall as Blue.

A mutt I adopted back when I lived in New York-a lifetime ago-Blue is the height of a Great Dane with the long, elegant snout of a collie, the thick coat of a wolf, and the markings of a Siberian husky, with one blue eye and one brown. Blue is trained to protect and his offspring are learning...Nila better than Frank.

Frank is a dumb dog-which I love about him. The guy is almost too sweet for the job. Whenever Merl, a dog expert, tries to get him to attack, Frank turns it into a game. Nila, on the other hand, is ruthless, smart, and quick.

Robert hangs up the phone, and Blue leaps off the couch. The puppies scramble to their feet, facing the door.

Robert stands, slipping the phone into his pocket, and crosses to me. He reaches out a hand-the shirt-sleeve rolled up, exposing a strong forearm dusted in dark hair. "Time to go," he says. I twine my fingers with his, and Robert pulls me from the couch, holding me tight as we begin to move.

A heavy fist pounds on the front door, echoing through the large house. My soft-soled sneakers are almost silent on the marble as we begin to jog. The dogs' nails click along with us.

"Homeland Security. Open up!" A man yells, his voice muffled by the large house. Robert presses a button, and a bookshelf slides away, revealing a doorway.

The loud crash of a battering ram striking the front door echoes as Maxim punches a code into the keypad next to the elevator. My heartbeat remains even.

I am not afraid.

P.S. The dog does not die.

“Every word sounds like a molasses-slow coastal Carolina drawl—the real kind, not the cloying, fake TV kind. The characters and the secrets they fight to keep could come from any gathering of women of a certain age in that secret-rich sea island place. The book transported me to languid, sandy days—and made me long to head to the coast.” —Cathy Pickens, author of Carolina True Crime series

Blood. It's blood. The dark stain circling Sydney is blood.

No, no, no. I grab my phone, unlock it, navigate to favorites, and touch Mulberry's name without even fully registering the thought.

It rings. How am I going to explain knowing Sydney Rye needs help?

I'm thousands of miles away, stationed on a private island in the middle of the Pacific. And yet-

"Hello?" Mulberry's voice, gravelly with sleep, cuts through my thoughts.

"Sydney is bleeding."

"What?" Mulberry's voice clears as sheets rustle in the background.

A dog barks. I focus on the monitor with the live feed of Sydney's room. Blue is up and going wild. Sydney, her shoulder length hair splayed out on the pillow, the white of the hotel sheets only a few shades lighter than her blanched skin, remains motionless.

I didn't even need to call. The dogs would have alerted Mulberry. Foolish. Careless. Stupid.

"What's going on, Dan?"

I don't answer.

The door between Mulberry and Sydney's rooms flies open-I watch it on the screen and hear the hinges swoosh over the phone line. Reaching out, I slide my finger along the stylus bar to raise the volume. Mulberry stumbles into Sydney's room, unsteady on just his one leg.

She didn't lock the door. That isn't like her. Except it was Mulberry on the other side. A subtle invitation?

"No!" Mulberry's voice echoes between the phone and computer speakers. He lunges toward the bed.

Sydney lies on her back, a dark stain spreading around her hips. Mulberry drops the phone when he grabs her shoulders, his broad back blocking Sydney's face from my view.

I swivel to a different monitor and bring up Mulberry's phone screen. I dial 911. Someone has to. I can always be counted on to do what needs doing. Overstepping saves lives.

"What's your emergency?" the Miami 911 operator asks.

I clench my fist on the glass surface of my desk. Answer her, you idiot. Mulberry doesn't follow my mental command. Fine. I take full control of the phone. "My wife is pregnant and bleeding. We're at the airport Marriott, room 523," I say, my voice even and clear. I say it like it's my baby. Like it's my life. Not something I'm watching on a screen. My eyes flick back to the live feed of her room. "I can't wake her."

Mulberry sits on the edge of the bed, face tear streaked.

Sydney isn't moving.
She isn't moving.
Don't let her die.

P.S. The dog does not die.
