Hide — Lisa Gardner
State Police Detective Bobby Dodge gets called to a horrific crime scene by fellow detective D.D. Warren. An underground chamber has been discovered on the property of a former Boston mental hospital containing six small mummified female bodies.

She claims to have been in hiding for as long as she can remember, her childhood a blur of new cities and assumed identities. But what — or who — her family was running from, she never knew. Now she is thrust into the center of a 20-year-old crime with terrifying repercussions … and this time, she’s not going to run.

Miami criminal defense attorney Jack Swyteck is called to defend a homeless man in jail for threatening to jump off a bridge.

Then the body of a murdered woman is found in the trunk of the abandoned car in which he is living. Panicked and on the run, Falcon takes Jack’s best friend, Theo, hostage, along with others at a motel. Jack must work with the cops and their negotiator to free Theo and the other captives before Falcon kills them all. What Jack doesn’t know is that Falcon has a much bigger agenda, and that there are people behind the scenes who will stop at nothing to keep their dangerous secrets.
High Profile — Robert Parker
When the body of controversial talk-show host Walton Weeks is discovered hanging from a tree on the outskirts of Paradise, police chief Jesse Stone finds himself at the center of a highly public case. When the body of a young woman is discovered just a few days later, the pressure to solve the crimes becomes almost unbearable. Two victims in less than a week should provide a host of clues, but all Jesse runs into are dead ends. The most disturbing aspect of these murders is the fact that no one seems to care — not a single one of Week’s ex-wives, and not the family of the girl. And when the medical examiner reveals a heartbreaking link between the two departed souls, the mystery only deepens.
