BACKLASH
LA PLANTE, LYNDA
It is late at night on a notorious high-rise estate in the London borough of Hackney, and a white van is
being driven erratically. The driver is pulled over by the police and questioned. A woman on the street
after a long night of drinking never makes it home. A suspect . . . an arrest . . . a confession. . . . A case
closed? Five years earlier, a 13-year-old girl disappeared in broad daylight on a busy London street.
Detective Chief Superintendent James Langton headed the investigation, but the case was never closed.
It has haunted him ever since. And now there’s a confession to this murder, and to yet another. Is it too
good to be true? Detective Chief Inspector Anna Travis is pulled into the fray by her mentor and friend,
and she isn’t so sure that they have their man. Then the suspect changes his story. . . .

THE BACKS
BRUCE, ALISON
A fresh start in a place you hate is even tougher with a killer watching... Jane Osborne left Cambridge and
vowed she'd never return. An unexpected twist of fortune results in DC Goodhew bringing her back to the
remnants of her old life and a confrontation with the man who killed her sister. Meanwhile a burning car
on the outskirts of Cambridge leads to the discovery of the body of its owner, Paul Marshall. There seems
nothing to connect it to either a recent assault, or to Jane Osborne, until a shocking discovery rips
Goodhew's investigation apart.

BAIT
MESSUM, J. KENT
Six strangers wake up on a remote island in the Florida Keys with no memory of their arrival. They soon
discover their sole common bond: all are heroin addicts from the slums of Miami. As their excruciating
withdrawal begins, the six face their captors across open water. The four shadowy figures on the yacht
are dangerous predators who know that their victims’ need never falters—and that the creatures that
swim beneath the waves have equally rapacious appetites. So begins a dangerous game. The six must
make an impossible choice—swim to the next island, where a cache of the purest heroin awaits, or die
trying. Alliances form among them that may seal their fate—or extend it. As the fight to survive intensifies,
the astonishing motivations of the men onboard the boat emerge, raising the stakes to towering heights.
An adventure that pinpoints the distance between fragility and strength, Bait pulls the reader in deep.
