Edna Buchanan
Edna Buchanan's novel, A Dark and Lonely Place (Simon & Schuster, $26.00), poses the question: can we change our destiny? In Miami, Police Detective Sgt. John Ashley hunts a woman linked to a murdered millionaire and finds she is the girl who has haunted his dreams since childhood. A century earlier, Ashley’s ancestor was wrongly accused of murder and went on the run. The lovers became the most colorful, compelling, and heartbreaking figures in Florida’s violent outlaw history. Can the present-day couple break the tragic cycle imprinted on their DNA? Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Buchanan is the author of 18 books.
Paul Levine
Paul Levine celebrates the 20th anniversary of his Jake Lassiter mystery series with Lassiter (Bantam, $25.00). Eighteen years ago, Jake Lassiter crossed paths with a teenage runaway who disappeared into South Florida’s sex trade. Now he retraces her steps and runs head-on into a conspiracy of Miami’s rich and powerful who would do anything to keep the past as dark as night and silent as the grave. Levine's books have been translated into 23 languages
James Grippando
In Afraid of the Dark (Crown, $25.99), James Grippando's ninth Jack Swyteck legal thriller, Swyteck has a particularly tough case on his hands. Working with a cast that includes depraved sexual deviants, corrupt private military contractors, and wannabe jihadis, Jack must race to uncover a sadistic killer and his bosses before the conspirators can silence everyone who might speak against them. "Grippando has definitely reached a new level with this series entry," says Booklist in its starred review. A former Miami trial lawyer, Grippando is the author of 13 thrillers.
