Description:

Alice thought postpartum depression was her greatest challenge — until she found her husband standing over a dead woman.
Motherhood was supposed to bring Alice joy. Instead, it brought isolation, overwhelming guilt, and the creeping fear that she might harm her baby. Trapped in a penthouse with her baby, Ellie, while her husband Max works long hours, Alice feels like she’s losing her grip on reality.
Then one sleepless night, she finds Max with a dead woman in their living room. She calls the police. But they can’t find a body.
They can’t find her baby, either.
And Alice’s husband now insists that Ellie never existed. That the baby is a figment of Alice’s imagination.
Alice knows she’s not crazy.
Ellie is real. Alive.
Her husband is lying.
But why?
And where has her baby gone?
From best-selling authors Nolon King and Lauren Street, Postpartum is a standalone psychological thriller that’s perfect for fans of Freida McFadden and Nicola Sanders.

Plea for Justice is a psychological, legal thriller by Liz Lazarus, told in alternating viewpoints by a woman in pursuit of justice and a terrifying killer with treacherous cyber skills. Lazarus has once again produced a page-turner, full of drama and suspense—and more than one unexpected twist.Set in Atlanta, GA, paralegal Jackie Siegel is contacted from prison by her estranged friend, Aaron Slater. In high school, they were inseparable. He was the cool jock and she was the introverted geek, but they were best friends until graduation when he suddenly dumped her with no explanation. Ten years later, Aaron is arrested for one of the most notorious murders in recent history. Labeled by the media as “The Snapchat Killer,” he is accused of posting videos on social media of a college student before brutally murdering her. Aaron swears he is innocent and begs for Jackie’s help. But why would an innocent man agree to a plea deal, one that put him in prison for the rest of his life? As Jackie investigates the evidence, she meets resistance at every turn — no one wants this case reopened. The conflicting information and bizarre clues compel her to keep digging. As Jackie closes in on the truth, loyalties are strained and relationships are tested, leaving her to wonder if she’s helping an innocent man or being played for a fool. It wouldn’t be the first time.
