Ever since her twin sister was abducted by a notorious serial killer at age five, Atlee has spent her life hunting down those who hurt others. And she's the best at it. She could be one of the Bureau's top criminal profilers, if she didn't prefer catching criminals in the vast wilderness of the West to climbing the career ladder in the D.C. office. Her chosen mission is a lonesome one--but that suits her just fine. Now, Atlee is called in to investigate the mutilated carcass of a mule found in the Grand Canyon--and hopefully, solve the disappearance of its rider. But this isn't the only recent disappearance. In fact, it may be just the first clue, the key to unraveling a rash of other similar missing persons cases in the canyon.... 3 David Baldacci THE FALLEN – book 4 in the Amos Decker series Contact: Lucy Childs Publisher: Grand Central Publishing U.S. Release: April 17, 2018 Foreign Sales: United Kingdom—Pan Macmillan; Holland—Bruna; Sweden—Bokfabriken; Korea—Thenan; Russia—Eksmo; Germany—Heyne; Poland—Dolnoslaskie; India (Marathi)—Vedant SYNOPSIS: Amos Decker is the Memory Man.

Then the next killing hits sickeningly close to home.

They're the ones the government calls in when the utmost secrecy is required to take out those who plot violence and mass destruction against the United States. And through every mission, one man has always had their backs: their handler, code-named Blue Man. But now, Blue Man is missing. Last seen in rural Colorado, Blue Man had taken a rare vacation to go fly fishing in his hometown when he disappeared off the grid. With no communications since, the team can't help but fear the worst. Sent to investigate, Robie and Reel arrive in the small town of Grand to discover that it has its own share of problems. A stagnant local economy and a woefully understaffed police force have made this small community a magnet for crime, drugs, and a growing number of militant fringe groups. But lying in wait in Grand is an even more insidious and sweeping threat, one that may shake the very foundations of America. And when Robie and Reel find themselves up against an adversary with superior firepower and a home-court advantage, they'll be lucky if they make it out alive, with or without Blue Man . 5 David Baldacci THE FIX – book three in the Amos Decker series Contact: Lucy Childs Publisher: Grand Central Publishing U.S. Release: April 18, 2017 Foreign Sales: United Kingdom—Pan Macmillan; Holland—Bruna; Sweden—Bokfabriken; Germany—Heyne; Hungary—General Press; Korea—Thenan; Russia—Eksmo; Poland—Dolnoslaskie; India (Marathi)—Vedant; Bulgaria—Obsidian SYNOPSIS: Amos Decker witnesses a murder just outside FBI headquarters. A man shoots a woman execution-style on a crowded sidewalk, then turns the gun on himself. Even with Decker's extraordinary powers of observation and deduction, the killing is baffling. Decker and his team can find absolutely no connection between the shooter--a family man with a successful consulting business--and his victim, a schoolteacher. Nor is there a hint of any possible motive for the attack. Enter Harper Brown. An agent of the Defense Intelligence Agency, she orders Decker to back off the case. The murder is part of an open DIA investigation, one so classified that Decker and his team aren't cleared for it. But they learn that the DIA believes solving the murder is now a matter of urgent national security. Critical information may have been leaked to a hostile government--or worse, an international terrorist group--and an attack may be imminent. Decker's never been one to follow the rules, especially with the stakes so high. Forced into an uneasy alliance with Agent Brown, Decker remains laser focused on only one goal: solving the case before it's too late. 6 David Baldacci THE STARS BELOW—4th title in the Vega Jane series Contact: Lucy Childs Publisher: Scholastic U.S. Release: February 2019 Foreign sales for THE STARS BELOW: United Kingdom—Pan Macmillan “What happens when an international best-selling crime novelist tries his hand at a youth fantasy? Well, in this case, success.” – Starred Booklist Review for THE FINISHER SYNOPSIS of THE FINISHER: At first glance, there isn’t much going on in the village of Wormwood. Like most other Wugmorts (or Wugs), 14-year-old Vega Jane is dirty, hungry, and deprived. Everything changes one morning when she spies her mentor, Quentin Herms, heading into the Quag, the terrifying forest that surrounds Wormwood. There are beasts inside the Quag, and supposedly nothing past it, so why would Herms run? The cryptic note he leaves behind raises more questions, and despite danger from many directions, Vega’s a girl who wants answers. SYNOPSIS of THE KEEPER: Vega Jane was always told there was nothing outside but the Quag, a wilderness filled with danger and death. And she always accepted it, until the night she stumbled across a secret that proved that everything she believed was a lie. In order to discover the truth, Vega Jane and her best friend, Delph, must find a way to make it across a terrifying land of blood-thirsty creatures and sinister magic. But the Quag is a living, breathing prison designed to keep enemies out and the villagers of Wormwood in. With The Keeper, the follow-up to the global #1 bestseller and award winner The Finisher, master storyteller David Baldacci unleashes a hurricane of action and adrenaline that takes readers to the breaking point. SYNOPSIS of THE WIDTH OF THE WORLD: Vega Jane has been lied to her whole life, so she breaks away from the only home she’s ever known in search of the truth. She battles horrors to fight her way across the Quag with her best friend, Delph, and her mysterious canine, Harry Two. Against all odds, they make it through into a new world that’s even worse. Not because deadly beasts roam the cobblestones, but because the people are enslaved but don’t even know it. It’s up to Vega, Delph, Harry Two and their new comrade, Petra, to take up the fight against a foe that’s unrivaled in savagery and cunning.
