WHY DO WE ALWAYS HURT THE ONES WE LOVE MOST? Haunted by a terrible crime committed by her own father, Texas State Police Officer Bailey Moore is a woman on a mission: Getting her normal back after her father nearly killed her. Mending her broken body and spirit, she's hell-bent on reclaiming her badge, determined to find a way to heal, whatever it takes. Even if it means working with the one man she can't forget—the one whose expectations she never could meet. Sheriff Clay Addy. HE HAS HIS REGRETS. SHE IS ONE OF THEM. Clay Addy is a man living in the shadow of guilt. He should have protected Bailey before. And he had failed. Bailey's return to the force reminds Clay of that every time he looks at her. There are some failures a man can never forget. Having her right there next to him just makes the hurt all that much sharper. SHE DESERVES FAR BETTER THAN HIM. —AND HE KNOWS IT. Clay knows he’s not the kind of man a woman like Bailey needs, so it’s better to keep the walls between them. No matter what. No matter how much he wants to hold her. But when a serial killer comes to little Value, Texas, Clay has no choice but to work closely with the woman he can’t help but want. As they dig into the killer, an enemy from their past resurfaces. One with a single goal in mind now: Keep Sheriff Clay Addy away from Bailey. No matter who he has to hurt to make that happen…

In the 1950s and '60s Neil Haugerud served as sheriff of Fillmore County in southeastern Minnesota. During this time, he and his wife and their four small children made their home in the building that housed the county jail. In Jailhouse Stories, Haugerud describes what it was like to live above a prison, where jailbirds and jailbreaks were part of family life. These are the reminiscences of a real-life Andy Griffith character, a man dedicated to maintaining order during both peaceful and turbulent days in rural America. Through the author we meet colorful characters on both sides of the law: for example, Doc Nehring, the county coroner, who uses dark humor to get through the grim duties of his job, and Irvin Johnson, who becomes the sheriff's friend despite his constant drinking and incarceration. Stories of domestic squabbles and infidelity are mixed with those of church functions and child rearing. Throughout the stories runs Haugerud's compassionate outlook on human nature. "I came to understand how people make a lot of mistakes, but in my view there are very few bad people, " he writes. The town where Haugerud lives is part Mayberry, part Twin Peaks. We get a glimpse into the lives of the town's citizens, whose problems range from the ordinary to the offbeat to the downright bizarre. In stories that are by turns heartwarming and sad, humorous and humane, Jailhouse Stories tells of the trials, tribulations, and pleasures of rural law enforcement during a bygone era.

'Utterly compelling from the first page' - Kerry Hudson 'Gripping . . . this is one not to miss' - Irish Times For two years, Donna McLean lived a life of bliss with her boyfriend, Carlo. But her great love story wasn't just built on lies - it was one. Because Carlo wasn't a bike-obsessed Italian locksmith at all; he was a British police officer, part of a unit that had worked undercover for years to infiltrate activist groups across the country. More than twenty of those officers deliberately targeted women and duped them into relationships, posing as socialists, environmental campaigners and union reps, before vanishing without a trace. Small Town Girl is Donna's shattering story of a life turned upside down overnight, and her reclamation of a truth that was shamelessly buried by those who should be protecting the most vulnerable in society. 'Mind-blowing, gut-wrenching, shocking and beautifully written' - Chris Atkins
The author of dozens of acclaimed novels including those in the Scudder and Keller series, Lawrence Block has long been recognized as one of the premier crime writers of our time. Now, the breathtaking skill, power, and versatility of this Grand Master are brilliantly displayed once again in a mesmerizing new thriller set on the streets of the city he knows and loves so well. That was the thing about New York -- if you loved it, if it worked for you, it ruined you for anyplace else in the world. In this dazzlingly constructed novel, Lawrence Block reveals the secret at the heart of the Big Apple. His glorious metropolis is really a small town, filled with men and women from all walks of life whose aspirations, fears, disappointments, and triumphs are interconnected by bonds as unbreakable as they are unseen.

Infused with the raw cadence, stark beauty, and relentless pace of New York City, Small Town is a tour de force Block fans old and new will celebrate.
