Blurb: My name is Anita Blake. Vampires call me the Executioner. What I call them isn't repeatable.

But now a serial killer is murdering vampires - and the most powerful bloodsucker in town wants me to find the killer.

Blurb: #01

All Charlie West usually has to worry about is getting good grades and not making a fool of himself in front of the prettiest girl in class. He's never been in trouble.

Until now.

Dazed and confused, Charlie wakes up strapped to a chair in a windowless cell. The last thing he remembers is falling asleep in his bedroom. Now he's aching all over, covered in blood, and, worse, someone behind the door has just ordered his death.

Charlie knows this is no nightmare: it is terrifyingly real. What he doesn't know is how he got here and, more importantly, how he's going to get out...

Blood Test - Alex Delaware #2 (Jonathan Kellerman)

Blood Test (Alex Delaware #2)

Jonathan Kellerman

Blurb: Family ties can bind you too tight.

Doctors believe that they can successfully treat five-year old cancer patient Woody Swope. But Woody's parents, members of a cult called 'The Touchers', are not only refusing the treatment, they're also threatening to remove him from the hospital.

Psychologist Alex Delaware is called in to talk the parents round. But before he can, the Swopes are gone and so is Woody. All that remains is a savagely ransacked and bloodied motel room, their promiscuous teenage daughter, Nona, and an increasingly dark and bizarre case for Alex to solve.

Blurb: A CRAZED GUNMAN

I moved closer and knelt over the body. Tasha's blouse was soaked with blood, mixed with falling rain. Just a few feet away, a rainbow-hued knapsack still lay on the grass. Bullet holes were everywhere, splintered glass and wood. Dozens of kids had been streaming out onto the street... All those shots, and only one victim.

THE WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB IS BACK

The tragic end of the honeymoon murder case left Lindsay Boxer, San Francisco's only woman homicide detective, unsure if she could ever return to work. But when a little girl is shot outside a San Francisco church, she knows it's time to reconvene the Women's Murder Club.

Working with reporter Cindy Thomas, Assistant DA Jill Bernhardt, and medical examiner Claire Washburn, Lindsay starts to track a mystifying killer who quickly turns his pursuers into his victims.
