Publisher's summary
A man finds his happiest life in the world inside his coma. He also finds that the difference between heaven and hell can be a very thin line. A man wakes on a cold basement floor staring at two women who are bound to their chairs. Across the room, a dead man lies in a pool of blood. He cannot recall who they are or even his own name. The women beg the man to free them, but something seems wrong. Maybe it is he who needs to be freed. On a houseboat in the middle of a large lake, a retired couple experience a brief, strange flash of light. The next day, something tracks them from their boat to a nearby small town through the forest. What they find in the town is more horrifying than what awaits them on their return to the boat. Coming Up Short 3 is a new collection of tales of the macabre by the author of the award-winning Within the Fog series.
Warning: These stories will keep you up late at night, nervously chewing your fingernails, cringing at every little creak of your home. Our reality may not be what you have been led to believe."

Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two.

Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs.
