The Last Dead Girl by Harry Dolan: On a rainy night in April, a chance encounter on a lonely road draws David into a romance with Jana Fletcher, a beautiful young law student. Jana is an enigma: living in a run-down apartment and sporting a bruise on her cheek that she refuses to explain. David would like to know her secrets, but he lets them lie--until it’s too late. When Jana is brutally murdered, the police consider David a prime suspect. But as he sets out to uncover the truth about Jana, he begins to realize he’s treading a very dangerous path and that her killer is watching every move he makes. David Loogan’s dark past is revealed in this prequel to Bad Things Happen (2009), the first book in the David Loogan Mysteries.

Elisabeth Elo’s debut novel North of Boston introduces Pirio Kasparov, a Boston-bred tough-talking girl with an acerbic wit and a moral compass that points due north. Surviving a fishing boat collision that ends her friend's life, Pirio is convinced that the incident was not accidental. She is tapped by the Navy to participate in a research project on human survival in dangerously cold temperatures. With the help of a curious journalist named Russell Parnell, Pirio begins unraveling a lethal plot involving the glacial whaling grounds off Baffin Island. In a narrow inlet in the arctic tundra, Pirio confronts her ultimate challenge: to trust herself. 

Dead to Me by Cath Staincliffe is a thoroughly modern police procedural featuring a stellar but unlikely female detective team who are forced to work together --Janet Scott, tormented by personal demons, and Rachel Bailey, who is determined to make a name for herself--on the Murder Investigation Team. They must find the person responsible for stabbing a teenage girl death. Both detectives realize they must work together to stop a vicious killer. But the case quickly becomes more complicated than it seems, fraught with dangers neither woman could see coming. Eager to make her mark, Rachel’s reckless pursuit of the truth could threaten her future on the squad. And an unexpected turn in the investigation forces Janet to face personal demons. No matter the cost, both must race to stop a vicious killer before it’s too late
