We turn an unflinching eye on four American cities. Connelly's Los Angeles runs on legal manoeuvres and moral compromise. Baldacci's Mississippi is haunted by old violence and silence. Patterson's Hamptons glitter on the surface and rot underneath. And Robb's near-future New York turns the city's appetite for fame into something lethal.
Michael Connelly, 'The Gods of Guilt' - Mickey Haller takes on the defence of a man accused of murdering an L.A. prostitute in a gripping courtroom thriller.
David Baldacci, 'The Guilty' - government assassin Will Robie returns to his Mississippi hometown when his estranged father is accused of murder.
James Patterson, 'The Beach House' - when a man is found dead on a Hamptons beach, his brother starts asking questions the wealthy residents would prefer he didn't.
J.D. Robb, 'Portrait in Death' - a New York killer is sending portraits of his victims to the media before the bodies are found.
