Some secrets wait decades to be found, and some knock at the front door before you've drawn the curtains. Here, a New York detective meets her past online, a Los Angeles lawyer defends a client he cannot quite trust, Jane Tennison digs beneath a derelict family home and a medical examiner hunts a strangler loose in Richmond. These are the powerhouse bestsellers behind television's most gripping dramas from four writers who defined modern crime fiction.
Harlan Coben, 'Missing You' - NYPD detective Kat Donovan spots the fiancé who walked out eighteen years ago on a dating site, just as her father's confessed killer recants, and both trails lead somewhere dark.
Michael Connelly, 'The Fifth Witness' - Mickey Haller has kept Lisa Trammel in her Los Angeles home through the foreclosure crisis; now she is charged with murdering a senior executive at the bank trying to take it.
Lynda La Plante, 'Dark Rooms' - A starved girl's body lies in the air raid shelter of the Lanark family's abandoned house, a second is hidden in its walls, and Jane Tennison follows the secret to Australia.
Patricia Cornwell, 'Postmortem' - In Richmond, Virginia, a strangler is murdering women and leaving a strange residue that glows under laser light. Chief medical examiner Kay Scarpetta follows the science.
