South of Hell
For Louis Kincaid and his lover, female detective Joe Frye, the present and the past collide when they team up to find out what happened to Jean Brandt, who was reported missing by her husband from their Michigan farmhouse in 1981. Jean's daughter Amy, only five at the time, has been plagued by dream-like memories of a violent killing, and it is assumed that the murder she has seen is her mother's. But as Amy's veracity as a witness is put to the test, Louis and Joe realize that the details of her visions are not consistent with the evidence -- in particular, the time period during which Jean was killed. A strange question emerges: Whose murder did Amy really see?
"American crime fiction at its finest - beautifully written, beautifully imagined, yet packed with raw power ... like an iron fist in a velvet glove."
- Lee Child, author of The Hard Way

A Thousand Bones
The only female detective on Miami PD's homicide division, Joe Frye has memories that haunt her and a past not even her lover, Louis Kincaid, truly knows. It began when Joe was an ambitious rookie cop in a small Michigan town called Echo Bay. The bones found in the woods were the first clue in a string of brutal murders of young women. Plunged into a heated investigation, and caught between a local sheriff and the state police, Joe must face down a predator who has chosen her a worthy opponent - or become his next victim.

An Unquiet Grave
In a remote corner of the Michigan woods, behind rusted iron gates and crumbling walls, lies a notorious sanitarium and its forgotten cemetery. The ruin is empty now, and the bulldozers have come to raze it. But as they do, a secret emerges. The coffin of Claudia DeFoe, the youthful love of Louis's foster father Phillip, is empty. When Louis tries to find the remains, he crosses paths with a reporter searching out rumors that a former patient, assumed dead, is alive and killing again. In Hidden Lake hospital, where the walls are stained with secrets and the air thick with the history of lingering screams, Louis is on his darkest journey yet -- into the mind of a deranged killer and into the locked rooms of his own psyche.
