Allison Brennan

Best Laid Plans This is New York Times bestseller Allison Brennan's next riveting thriller featuring newly minted FBI Agent Lucy Kincaid

FBI Agent Lucy Kincaid has been in San Antonio for 5 months when Tom Perdue is found dead in a motel on the wrong side of town. Forensics proves he was murdered, and the FBI is called in to assist local authorities. The lone witness, a belligerent teenage prostitute named Kassie, refuses to help, and the FBI takes her into custody until she’ll cooperate. Lucy sees the child beneath the attitude and make­up and wants to help Kassie, but that’s easier said than done. Lucy’s been partnered with by­the­book agent Barry Crawford, and her boyfriend, Sean Rogan, sees Kassie as manipulative and thinks Lucy’s past is clouding her judgment. But despite the fact that Lucy’s career can’t handle any more trouble, despite the fact that Lucy and Sean have never had a fight as bad as this one, Lucy is determined to find out what really happened the night that Tom Perdue was killed.

When movie studio mogul Edgar Trenton’s teenage daughter, Olivia, is kidnapped during a violent home invasion in Calabasas, California, former U.S. Marshal Simon Fisk is called upon to ensure a smooth ransom exchange.

Eve Duncan returns in a thriller that pits her against the most evil mind she has ever encountered: a ruthless killer who taunts her with his every move…and who has a special affinity for blood. When a Georgia senator's daughter is found murdered, and her body drained of blood, Eve Duncan is drawn into the web of Kevin Jelak­­a serial murderer who is on Eve's short list of killers who might know something about her missing daughter Bonnie. When a goblet of blood is found in Eve's refrigerator, she knows the taunting is over…and the games have begun. As Eve and Jelak engage in a dance of death, Eve must call upon those she loves and trusts the most…even if it means bringing them into the game as well.

Eight Days to Live

Number­one New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen delivers a thriller that will chill you to the core: Eve Duncan’s adop...

Eve Duncan and her adopted daughter, Jane Macguire, are pitted against the members of a secretive cult who have targeted Jane and have decided that she will be their ultimate sacrifice. In eight days they will come for her. In eight days, what Jane fears the most will become a reality. In eight days, she will die. It all begins with a painting that Jane, an artist, displays in her Parisian gallery. The painting is called "Guilt" and Jane has no idea how or why she painted the portrait of the chilling face. But the members of a cult who worship Judas Iscariot believe that Jane's blasphemy means she must die. But first, she will lead them to the eight pieces of missing silver that Judas received for his betrayal of Christ. The silver, and Jane's death, are all that they need for their power to come to ultimate fruition. With Eve's help, can Jane escape before the clock stops ticking?

A CIA agent's two­year­old child was stolen in the night as a brutal act of vengeance. Now, eight years later, this torment is something Catherine Ling awakens to every day. Her friends, family, and colleagues tell her to let go, move on, accept that her son is never coming back. But she can't. Catherine needs to find someone as driven and obsessed as she is to help her.­­and that person is Eve Duncan. She knows that Eve shares her nightmare, since closure is also something that eludes Eve after the disappearance of her daughter Bonnie. Now, Eve must take her talents as a forensic sculptor to another level, using age progression as a way to unite Catherine with her child. As Eve gets drawn deeper into Catherine's horror, she must face looming demons of her own.

Bonnie's killer is still out there. And a new killer is taunting Eve and Catherine at every turn. Is Catherine's son alive, or not? These two women endure the worst fear any mother can imagine in Iris Johansen's latest thrill ride, a gut­wrenching journey into the darkest places of the soul.
