Publisher's summary
***PRAISE FOR THE GUN PEDERSEN SERIES***
COMEBACK:
“A well-written, fast-reading thriller. . . . It’s got everything.”
—Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine
“Comeback is so good, you want to sit down and read it all at once. It’s got love and shame and money and the Minnesota woods and lakes, and dark mystery, and a reluctant hero, and it’s written with humor and passion.”
—Garrison Keillor
SWING:
“Solidly entertaining.”
—ALA Booklist
“In Swing, the plot twists as unpredictably as a hangman’s rope. Swing has muscle (and heart, too).”
—Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine
“[A] sure hit.”
—R.D. Zimmerman, author of Deadfall in Berlin
STRIKE:
“Compelling.”
—Publishers Weekly
SACRIFICE:
“Sacrifice is the best novel I’ve read this year. Not just the best mystery, but the best novel, period.”
—Jeremiah Healy, author of the John Francis Cuddy series
“Sharp and engaging!”
—Minneapolis Star Tribune
THE SINNERS’ LEAGUE:
“[A] revelation . . .”
—Booklist

Story
It was 1970 in a defeated Rhode Island fishing town. Vietnam and Nixon dominated the national news. Both the near and distant future looked bleak. But they were five inseparable high school friends with something incredible in common: an unwavering resolve to look after each other no matter what hell life threw at them. And they were on a mission. The plan was simple: Go off the grid before they turned 18 to avoid the draft. They’d sell some grass, stack some cash, then head west and start a commune. What could possibly go wrong?

Three months ago, Tansy Bloom quit monster hunting. Since then, she’s been trying to live a normal life (whatever that means), but ending up single, unemployed, and living on a boat outside her godfather’s pub definitely wasn’t part of the plan. So, when Tansy’s ex-husband – fellow monster hunter Rex Barclay – turns up like a bad penny and asks for her help with his latest investigation, Tansy reluctantly agrees. At first, the job appears to be a straightforward monster hunt – following a spate of large creature sightings, Rex believes a werewolf is on the loose in Norfolk.

Story
In The Worst of You, just-wed architects Timo and Nia flee a murder scene, setting in motion a chain reaction of lies and betrayals that threaten to unravel everything they have built together. Twisted and propulsive, this thriller is told from the alternating perspectives of the couple and those close to them on Williwaw Island, each with their own motive to use the outcome of the murder case to their advantage. When a huge storm sweeps up the coast, trapping everyone on tiny Williwaw Island, it’s a race against time—and the elements — to stop the murderer from striking again.
