As winter arrives in London, Gerry's life is as bleak as the season. Her relationship is crumbling. Richard, her partner and a London police officer, succumbs to violent behavior as his drinking problem escalates. Gerry escapes her abusive relationship and flees to rural France. On her flight south, Gerry meets two elderly sisters who introduce her to Ken who works with a charity that helps young girls find adoptive parents, and Gerry is offered a position at the organization. Gerry accepts the position and then learns what its mission really is-an underground link to child prostitution. This knowledge puts Gerry in serious danger. Meanwhile, Richard and his fellow detectives uncover a connection to the organization in London. Richard searches for Gerry and tries to trace the source of the organization. Gerry and Ken are caught up in the dangerous world of child prostitution that leads them to the seedy underbelly of Central Africa. Will Richard find Gerry before the criminals do?

Book
A Reliable Wife
by Robert Goolrick
Rural Wisconsin, 1909. In the bitter cold, Ralph Truitt, a successful businessman, stands alone on a train platform waiting for the woman who answered his newspaper advertisement for "a reliable wife." But when Catherine Land steps off the train from Chicago, she's not the "simple, honest woman" that Ralph is expecting. She is both complex and devious, haunted by a terrible past and motivated by greed. Her plan is simple: she will win this man's devotion, and then, ever so slowly, she will poison him and leave Wisconsin a wealthy widow. What she has not counted on, though, is that Truitt — a passionate man with his own dark secrets —has plans of his own for his new wife. Isolated on a remote estate and imprisoned by relentless snow, the story of Ralph and Catherine unfolds in unimaginable ways. With echoes of Wuthering Heights and Rebecca, Robert Goolrick's intoxicating debut novel delivers a classic tale of suspenseful seduction, set in a world that seems to have gone temporarily off its axis.

The Scarecrow
by Michael Connelly
FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BOSCH SERIES AND THE LINCOLN LAWYER SERIES "Michael Connelly...has the nerve and timing of a whole SWAT team."--New York Times "Michael Connelly...adds the intricate plotting and perfect-pitch dialogue that keeps The Scarecrow scary. Together, they hook the reader early and never let up."--Philadelphia Inquirer "An addictive read that, once it grabs you in those first few pages, won't let go of you."--Boston Globe Forced out of the Los Angeles Times amid the latest budget cuts, newspaperman Jack McEvoy decides to go out with a bang, using his final days at the paper to write the definitive murder story of his career. He focuses on Alonzo Winslow, a sixteen-year-old drug dealer in jail after confessing to a brutal murder. But as he delves into the story, Jack realizes that Winslow's so-called confession is bogus. The kid might actually be innocent. Jack is soon running with his biggest story since The Poet made his career years ago. He is tracking a killer who operates completely below police radar-and with perfect knowledge of any move against him. Including Jack's.
