Miami Requiem
A gripping race-against-time crime thriller for fans of John Grisham, Sara Paretsky, James Patterson, and Karin Slaughter. 'She wanted the truth. They wanted her dead'. Since her first day on the Miami Herald, rookie reporter Deborah Jones has been agitating for a shot at one particular story. William Craig is on Death Row, convicted of killing Senator Jack O'Neill's only son. There is no question of his guilt. Craig murdered the young man who was acquitted of raping his granddaughter. There are only five weeks and one day until his execution. And Craig has not given a single interview. Deborah Jones has assembled a whole dossier on the case, including court transcripts and every newspaper clipping. She wants to know what prompted Craig to exact revenge. And she has her own, very personal reasons for wishing to uncover the truth. Managing editor of the Herald Sam Goldberg is well aware that Senator O'Neill, a vengeful man, has powerful friends, some with Mob links. The two men have crossed swords on a number of occasions. But against his better judgement, he decides to give Deborah a chance to prove herself. Only with one warning - 'Be careful. Florida may be the Sunshine State to most people. But it's not. It's a swamp. Don't ever forget that.'

J. B. Turner
In the murky underworld of covert operations and political corruption, J.B. Turner carves out a space where nothing is as it seems—and no one ever walks away clean. With more than three million copies sold worldwide, Turner has become a steady force in modern thriller fiction, crafting taut, emotionally charged narratives that blend explosive action with unnerving psychological depth.
Before he turned to fiction, Turner worked as a journalist—a detail that lingers in his writing like smoke after gunfire. His stories pulse with an insider’s understanding of power, media, and the machinery of modern politics. This sharp, investigative eye became the backbone of his breakout Jon Reznick series, a collection of fast-paced thrillers featuring a former black-ops specialist haunted by loss and driven by an uncompromising sense of justice. Whether tracking terrorists across international borders or unearthing deep-state secrets, Reznick isn’t the kind of hero who plays by the rules—but he’s exactly the one you want when things fall apart.
