How do you catch a serial killer who knows you better than you know yourself? An addictive crime thriller for fans of Dark Places. Still reeling from the discovery of her brother’s body, psychologist Maggie Connolly is hopeful that her life might finally settle down. Tough break—her work as a police consultant rarely lets up. But she’s never had a case like this. When a body is discovered, Maggie is sucked into a bloody game of cat and mouse. The victim bears an uncanny resemblance to Maggie herself. And the next victim is a man she’s slept with, his body brutalized in the same manner as the first. Why does the killer remove their eyelids? And what of the numbers scored into the victims’ flesh? It seems the killer is crossing names off a list, starting with the periphery, then tightening like a noose around Maggie’s inner circle, and at an alarming pace. They barely have time to breathe before a new body drops. And the police don’t have a shred of evidence—no one has seen the killer’s face. As she’s pulled deeper into the killer’s world, Maggie realizes that the truth is more terrifying than anything she could have imagined. This is obsession in its most savage and unrelenting form. If she can’t unmask this madman, neither Maggie nor anyone she loves will make it out alive. Addictive, intense, with a breakneck pace and jaw-dropping twists you’ll never see coming, The Dead Don’t Worry is a riveting psychological crime thriller for fans of Caroline Kepnes, Gillian Flynn, and Prodigal Son. “The Dead Don’t Worry is heart-pounding, chilling, and haunting, packed with the electrifying plot twists O’Flynn is known for. This series is like a thunderstorm—brilliant as lightning and deep as thunder, all well-woven webs of mystery that’ll sweep you up in their whirlwind. With each book, O’Flynn masterfully guides you to the other side in a way you’ll never forget, and keeps you coming back for more.” ~Bestselling Author Emerald O’Brien *** KEYWORDS: strong female lead, female sleuth, female investigator, amateur sleuth, psychologist sleuth, female protagonist, psychologist protagonist mystery suspense thriller series, hard-boiled mysteries, female protagonist, pulp, murder, female lawyer protagonist, noir, dark mood, hard-boiled mystery, police procedural, mystery series, crime, noir, gritty detective novels, psychological thrillers, serial killer, crime thriller, crime fiction, hard boiled detective, hardboiled detective fiction, hard boiled crime, funny psychologist, dorky sleuth gritty mysteries, mystery series books, psychological thriller series, psychological thriller, detective shrink partner, psychologist detective, psychological suspense, psychological thriller books, nail biter mysteries, wise cracking detective, detective partners, crime fiction, urban murder mystery, serial killer thriller, female protagonist, whodunit, whodunnit, family drama, domestic suspense thriller, psychological domestic suspense, dark and suspenseful

The Dead Don't Lie is the latest in Edgar Award winner and MWA's Grand Master Stuart Kaminsky's Abe Lieberman mystery series. Lieberman and his partner, Bill Hanrahan, are hell or heaven bent on making the mean streets of Chicago just a little safer. As usual they have their hands full. Three prominent members of the Turkish community are all brutally murdered and Lieberman works to find out what, if anything, ties these murders together. It doesn't help that the key to the puzzle might be an event that took place over a century ago. Bill Hanrahan finds himself assigned to a case where a hospitalized chef claims to have been beaten by two people and shot by a third, a bespectacled Chinese man. As Bill digs deeper he finds himself at odds with an old nemesis, a man who has an unusual affinity for Bill's Asian wife. Both men struggle to do the right thing even if it means bending the letter if not the spirit of the law.

The second book in Emilia Bernhard's charming Death in Paris series, featuring two American sleuths in the City of Lights, is perfect for fans of M. L. Longworth and Juliet Blackwell. Parisian summers are for strolls in the park . . . and solving a murder--or two. When American sleuth Rachel Levis stumbles upon an employee of the French national library strangled in the bathroom of a cafe, she's not surprised to be asked to help with the investigation by her old acquaintance Capitaine Boussicault--after all, she and her best friend Magda solved a tricky murder only eighteen months before. But right from the start, this case proves to be très difficile. When Rachel goes undercover as a librarian to determine which of his book-loving colleagues loathed the man enough to kill him, the library is rocked by more bad news: a priceless antique book has been mutilated. And the very next day, her favorite suspect for the murder is found dead in the stacks. Just as the case is heating up, Boussicault pulls Rachel from the investigation. Undeterred, she and Magda decide to forge ahead with their own investigation--even if it could put them at odds with the police and in serious danger. With evidence and suspects piling up, it will be up to them to find the culprit--and stop more innocent books from being harmed--before anyone else checks out for good.

Boris (psychoanalysis, Harvard Medical School) says that while we are going about our personal concerns, pursuing pleasure and ego gratification, we are also being influenced by a force that causes us to identify with the aims of the Group, even if it means we individually fail to thrive, or even die. He synthesizes three approaches: classical psychology; recent interpersonal and object-relations psychology; and current selectivistic evolutionary biology.

People in Merit, Wisconsin, always said Jimmy was . . . you know. But people said all sorts of stupid stuff. Nobody really knew anything. Nobody really knew Jimmy. I guess you could say I knew Jimmy as well as anyone (which was not very well). I knew what scared him. And I knew he had dreams—even if I didn't understand them. Even if he nearly ruined my life to pursue them. Jimmy's dead now, and I definitely know that better than anyone. I know about blood and bone and how bodies decompose. I know about shadows and stones and hatchets. I know what a last cry for help sounds like. I know what blood looks like on my own hands. What I don't know is if I can trust my own eyes. I don't know who threw the stone. Who swung the hatchet? Who are the shadows? What do the living owe the dead?

NOW A MAX ORIGINAL SERIES. A riveting true-life tale of newspaper noir and Japanese organized crime from an American investigative journalist who "pulls the curtain back on ... [an] element of Japanese society that few Westerners ever see" (San Francisco Examiner). Jake Adelstein is the only American journalist ever to have been admitted to the insular Tokyo Metropolitan Police Press Club, where for twelve years he covered the dark side of Japan: extortion, murder, human trafficking, fiscal corruption, and of course, the yakuza. But when his final scoop exposed a scandal that reverberated all the way from the neon soaked streets of Tokyo to the polished Halls of the FBI and resulted in a death threat for him and his family, Adelstein decided to step down. Then, he fought back. In Tokyo Vice he delivers an unprecedented look at Japanese culture and searing memoir about his rise from cub reporter to seasoned journalist with a price on his head.
