Three gritty novels of crime and investigation by acclaimed authors, in one volume . . .
Ranging from the California coast to small-town Wyoming to the north of England, this three-in-one collection of crime thrillers includes:
Naked Addiction by New York Times–bestselling author Caitlin Rother
Tired of working undercover narcotics, police detective Ken Goode wants a transfer to homicide. After finding the body of a beautiful woman in an alley, he’s assigned to head a team of relief detectives with the hopes of proving he is homicide-worthy—and is plunged into the underbelly of the affluent coastal enclave of La Jolla, California.
“With a journalist’s eye for the telling details of life, Caitlin Rother is a keen architect of the most important part of storytelling: character.” —Michael Connelly
The Deadline by USA Today–bestselling author Ron Franscell
A dying convict’s last request thrusts Jefferson Morgan, a newspaperman in Wyoming, into a deadly maelstrom as he explores a fifty-year-old child murder, a wound this small town still isn’t ready to re-open. Under the most important deadline of his life, Morgan digs deep into the town’s past and unveils a killer who managed to remain hidden for fifty years.
“An impressive debut that will keep you on the edge of your seat.” —San Francisco Chronicle
Northern Ex by Colin Campbell
In Northern England, ex-vice squad cop Vince McNulty copes with life outside the force by visiting the massage parlors he used to police. But now several girls have gone missing, and when one turns up dead, everything points to a regular customer. And McNulty is top of the list . . .
“Full of white-knuckle suspense, shocking violence, and unexpected twists. A fine choice for fans of gritty, realistic cop dramas.” —Booklist
