Grace McBride, stoer, ongenaakbaar en altijd in het zwart gekleed, is de leider van het softwarebedrijfje Monkeewrench. Samen met haar collega's, kleurrijke Annie, broodmagere Roadrunner, charmante Mitch en excentrieke Harley, heeft ze een computerspel ontwikkeld waarin de moordenaar altijd wordt gepakt en het goede altijd overwint. Maar wanneer iemand de fictieve moorden in de echte wereld begint te spelen, veranderd het spel in een nachtmerrie: niet alleen is de Engelenmoord huiveringwekkend in zijn wreedheid, maar er zijn nog achttien even lugubere moordscenario's. Een plattelandsscherrif en zijn team én twee rechercheurs uit Minneapolis doen hun uiterste best om de moordenaar te pakken. Wat ze echter niet weten is dat Grace en haar vrienden nog altijd de gruwelijke herinneringen aan hun bizarre en geweldadige verleden met zich meedragen. En dat verleden kan hun fataal worden...

Rechercheurs Leo Magozzi en Gino Rolseth vervelen zich: er is al lang geen moord meer gepleegd. Maar wanneer Morey Gilbert dood wordt aangetroffen, is het met de verveling in één klap afgelopen. Wie zou de bejaarde man hebben willen vermoorden? Hij was een man zonder vijanden, een heilige bijna. Zijn kleine, norse vrouw zorgt niet bepaald voor opheldering, zij zou zelfs een verdachte kunnen zijn. Dan vallen er nog meer bejaarde slachtoffers en krijgen Magozzi en Gino meer werk dan hun lief is.

The Guilty Dead is a cut above. The stakes are higher, and nothing is as it seems. This is Tracy at her gritty, elegant best. Do not miss it. JT Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of Lie to Me

The 8th book of the popular Monkeewrench series. It's a hot June morning when homicide detectives Magozzi and Rolseth discover the body in the woods.

It should have been a simple journey � a drive from Minneapolis to Green Bay, Wisconsin. But a couple of unplanned detours lead Grace MacBride, Annie Belinsky and police Deputy Sharon Mueller deep in the northern woods, far from civilization and a mobile phone signal. Then the car breaks down. The nervous search for a landline and a mechanic leads the women to Four Corners, a sleepy crossroads town. And place they soon wish they�d never stumbled on - because something terrible happened in Four Corners... Filled with the same crackling dialogue, pace and rich vivid characters as Want to Play? and Live Bait, Dead Run firmly establishes PJ Tracy as one of the most exciting thriller writers in the world.

P.J. Tracy “seems to have found her literary sweet spot” (New York Times Book Review) with her dazzling new series, and in Desolation Canyon, fans get a deeper look into the complex characters who call Los Angeles home. LAPD Detective Margaret Nolan is struggling to move forward after the death of her brother in Afghanistan and taking a life in the line of duty. Her stoic parents offer little support – they refuse to address anything difficult, and she’s afraid their relationship is eroding beyond the point of recovery. The days off are the hardest, because they give Margaret time to think. A moment of weakness leads to cocktails with a colleague—an attraction she knows could be dangerous —at the luxurious Hotel Bel-Air bar. A stroll through the grounds leads to a grim discovery beneath the surface of Swan Lake: the body of a successful attorney who made his fortune in international trade. It initially appears to be death by misadventure, but the case is anything but straightforward. As a series of shocking revelations emerge, Nolan finds herself confronting a sinister cabal that just might destroy her and everyone she loves.

Call it murdertube . . . Minneapolis homicide cops Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolseth fish a murdered drag queen out of the Mississippi. Another day, another corpse. Except the victim's death throes quickly appear in a video posted online. And there are other videos, other murders. Unable to trace who is posting the videos, the cops turn to Grace MacBride and her crew of eccentric computer mavericks. But as the bodies and videos stack up, the team desperately try and answer a terrifying question: Is this the work of a lone individual? Or of several killers who have taken social networking to the darkest extreme. . .

Darkness is nothing new to LAPD Detective Margaret Nolan, but in P.J. Tracy’s The Devil You Know, even she isn’t prepared for the scandalous deception of deadly proportions that shakes the very foundation of Hollywood and its untouchables… and leaves her entangled in its rotten core.
