The Late Show by Michael Connelly

In this first installment of the Renée Ballard series, #1 bestselling author Michael Connelly introduces a "complicated and driven" young detective fighting to prove herself on the LAPD's toughest beat ( The New York Times ). Renee Ballard works the midnight shift in Hollywood, beginning many investigations but finishing few, as each morning she turns everything over to the daytime units. It's a frustrating job for a once up-and-coming detective, but it's no accident. She's been given this beat as punishment after filing a sexual harassment complaint against a supervisor. But one night Ballard catches two assignments she doesn't want to part with. First, a prostitute is brutally beaten and left for dead in a parking lot. All signs point to a crime of premeditation, not passion, by someone with big evil on his mind. Then she sees a young waitress breathe her last after being caught up in a nightclub shooting. Though dubbed a peripheral victim, the waitress buys Ballard a way in, and this time she is determined not to give up at dawn. Against orders and her partner's wishes, she works both cases by day while maintaining her shift by night. As the investigations intertwine, Ballard is forced to face her own demons and confront a danger she could never have imagined. To find justice for these victims who can't speak for themselves, she must put not only her career but her life on the line. Propulsive as a jolt of adrenaline and featuring a bold and defiant new heroine, The Late Show is yet more proof that Michael Connelly is "a master of the genre" ( Washington Post ).

Young women found dead in their own beds, positioned like sleeping angels—beautiful, peaceful, and forever silent.

Instead, she uncovers a survivor who's been hiding on the island for two decades, living under a different name, watching every shadow. But this case strikes Sheriff Dash Beckett like a physical blow, awakening ghosts from his own dark past that he's spent years trying to forget. And when someone begins testing Mabel's windows at night, learning her routines, she realizes some predators never die—they just grow hungrier. Now Mabel must solve a twenty-year-old mystery before she becomes its newest victim. Because on Grimm Island, the most dangerous secrets are the ones that refuse to stay buried. And some killers view patience as just another weapon. In this pulse-pounding tale of murder and romance, the past and present collide in a deadly dance where love might be the only thing standing between justice and another perfect murder.

Meanwhile, the first released “bunny” has given the FBI a promising lead on the killer’s whereabouts—but are they walking into a trap? In a race against time, and with her sister’s life hanging in the balance, Maya must unravel the link between the 12 captives and end the killer’s dark game once and for all.

Altitude Sickness

Altitude Sickness by Emily Brewster

A locked room. A business partner's betrayal. And a retired mystery novelist who can't stop asking questions. Claire Hartley has settled into her quiet life in Ridgeline, Colorado—morning coffee at the dog park with her golden retriever Boone and her suspicious rescue Pepper, evenings at The Buzz with the enigmatic bartender Mick. She's done with mysteries. At least, that's what she keeps telling herself. But when climbing guide James Caldwell is found dead in his own shop—suffocated in an airtight storage room with a deliberately disabled safety release—Claire's novelist brain refuses to stay quiet. Especially when she learns that James had made enemies of nearly everyone in his orbit. Someone wanted him silenced before he could destroy anything else. Now Claire is drawn into a web of professional rivalry, shattered marriages, and twenty years of festering resentment. A wife humiliated by decades of affairs. A former client nursing injuries and broken promises. A competitor driven to the edge of bankruptcy. And a business partner whose dreams of expansion were being crushed by the man who was supposed to be his equal. As the evidence mounts, Claire discovers that James Caldwell didn't just build a business—he built a lifetime of grudges. Someone in this tight-knit mountain community finally decided that the only way out was through. With suspects everywhere and motives tangled like climbing rope, Claire must untangle years of partnership gone wrong before the killer realizes she's asking too many questions. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with smart sleuths, loyal dogs, and small-town secrets. Altitude Sickness is the fourth book in the Ridgeline Dog Park Mysteries series. Each book features a standalone mystery with no cliffhangers.
