The Shut Eye

<div>From the CWA Gold Dagger Award&ndash;winning author of Blacklands: A &ldquo;gripping, unsettling&rdquo; thriller about a young British girl coming face-to-face with evil (Bella). On the beaches and cliffs of North Devon, England, vulnerable women have become the victims of a series of shocking crimes. Forced to strip naked and then call their families to say goodbye, they are the losers in a madman&rsquo;s cruel and deadly game . . . At the age of ten, Ruby Trick knows little of the horrors of the world. Her fears are much closer to home: school bullies, the dark forest that surrounds her crumbling house, and the threat of her parents&rsquo; divorce. When her father joins the hunt for the killer terrorizing their seaside town, Ruby tries to help in the hopes of keeping him close. But she soon learns that real evil is much scarier than the things that go bump in the night. &ldquo;Bauer at her best . . . The true heir to the great Ruth Rendell.&rdquo; &mdash;The Mail on Sunday &ldquo;The novel lingers in the mind like an unwelcome guest, albeit one with a dark sense of humor . . . Powerful, compelling reading.&rdquo; &mdash;The Spectator &ldquo;Belinda Bauer&rsquo;s thrillers are always compelling, always original, always brilliant. I will rush to read anything she writes.&rdquo; &mdash;Mark Billingham &ldquo;Blends a murder mystery with a blackly comic look at the gradual erosion of &lsquo;normal&rsquo; family life. You won&rsquo;t want to put it down.&rdquo; &mdash;Bella</div>

Rubbernecker

<div>A spine-tingling, edge-of-your-seat thriller about an alarming killing spree in southwest England from the CWA Gold Dagger Award&ndash;winning author. The eight-year-old boy had vanished from the car and&mdash;as if by slick, sick magic&mdash;had been replaced by a note on the steering wheel: &ldquo;You don&rsquo;t love him.&rdquo; At the height of summer a dark shadow falls across Exmoor, as children begin to disappear, with each disappearance marked only by a terse, accusatory note. There are no explanations, no ransom demands, and no hope. Policeman Jonas Holly (a character returning from Bauer&rsquo;s first two novels) faces a precarious journey into the warped mind of the kidnapper if he&rsquo;s to stand any chance of catching him. But&mdash;still reeling from a personal tragedy&mdash;is Jonas really up to the task? There are some who would say that, when it comes to being the first line of defense, Jonas Holly may be the last man to trust. &ldquo;Finders Keepers has an enjoyably creepy premise . . . Bauer&rsquo;s villain, incidentally, is one of the oddest in detective fiction: what he does with his victims is utterly weird.&rdquo; &mdash;The Guardian</div>

Finders Keepers

<div>A heart-stopping thriller from the award-winning crime fiction author whose &ldquo;novels are almost indecently gripping and enjoyable&rdquo; (Sophie Hannah, New York Times&ndash;bestselling author). Belinda Bauer is a British crime writer of the highest caliber, whose smart, stylish novels have captivated readers and reviewers on both sides of the Atlantic and earned her a reputation as &ldquo;the true heir to the great Ruth Rendell&rdquo; (The Mail on Sunday). The Beautiful Dead is a riveting narrative centered on a down-on-her-luck journalist and a serial killer desperate for the spotlight. TV crime reporter Eve Singer&rsquo;s career is flagging, but that starts to change when she covers a spate of bizarre murders&mdash;each one committed in public and advertised like an art exhibition. When the killer contacts Eve about her coverage of his crimes, she is suddenly on the inside of the biggest murder investigation of the decade. But as the killer becomes increasingly obsessed with her, Eve realizes there&rsquo;s a thin line between inside information and becoming an accomplice to murder&mdash;possibly her own. &ldquo;Bauer&rsquo;s novel unfolds like an episode of Criminal Minds, with rapid-fire plotting.&rdquo; &mdash;Entertainment Weekly</div>

The Beautiful Dead

<div>A teenage boy hunts for his mother&rsquo;s killer in this Man Booker Prize-longlisted novel by &ldquo;the true heir to the great Ruth Rendell&rdquo; (Mail on Sunday, UK). Just before Jack&rsquo;s mother disappeared up the road to get help, she put the eleven-year-old boy in charge of his two sister. As they wait for her on the shoulder of the road in their stifling, broken-down car, the three children bicker, whine and play I-Spy. But their mother never comes back. And after that long, hot summer&rsquo;s day, nothing will ever be the same again. At fifteen-years-old, Jack is still in charge&mdash;supporting his sisters any way he can while evading social services. Meanwhile, a young woman across town wakes to find a knife beside her bed, and a note reading I could of killed you. The police are tracking a mysterious burglar they call Goldilocks, for his habit of sleeping in the beds of the houses he robs. But the woman doesn&rsquo;t see the point of involving the police. And Jack, very suddenly, may be on the verge of finding out who killed his mother. The Gold Dagger Award-winning author of Blacklands reaffirms her reputation for masterful, twisty crime fiction with this &ldquo;unnerving suspense novel&rdquo; (Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times).</div>

Now he’s desperate to find out what went wrong, and if his simple mistake was in fact a deliberate murder.</div>
