In Voice of Fear, the latest in Graham’s long-running paranormal romantic suspense series, FBI agent Jordan Wallace worries about new partner Patrick’s special gift of getting into another’s mind—can he read her thoughts?—but must learn to trust him as they hunt for a nasty killer (400,000-copy paperback and 10,000-copy hardcover first printing). In Johansen’s Captive, Eve Duncan's daughter, Jane, is happily married to Seth Caleb, but his troubled past means threats from a psychopath. Paradise police chief Jesse Stone returns in Mike Lupica’s Untitled new Robert Parker thriller, though what happens next has yet to be revealed. In Maden’s Clive Cussler’s Hellburner, Juan Cabrillo and his Oregon crew face a particularly violent drug-smuggling criminal syndicate that has been passed down from father to son for generations. In Patterson and Dubois’s Blowback, Liam Grey and Noa Himel are upended when President Keegan Barrett orders them to help execute his secret power grab; as CIA special agents, they must follow the president’s directives but are sworn to uphold the Constitution. In Turow’s Suspect, Clarice “Pinky” Granum—granddaughter of Turow stalwart Sandy Stern—is working second-tier cases as a private investigator and trying to recoup from the mistakes of a mislaid life when she’s asked to help Highland Isle police chief Lucia Gomez, who has been accused of soliciting sex from three male police officers in exchange for promotions.
