The Women’s Murder Club Series, Book 21 By James Patterson and Maxine Paetro Read by January LaVoy

Lindsay vows to protect a twenty-year-old victim long enough to see her twenty-rst birthday. “Smart characters, shocking twists, and a villain so evil you count down to the very last page to discover what will happen next.”
—Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author, on The 18th Abduction SFPD Sergeant Lindsay Boxer has sworn to defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic. As Lindsay prepares to celebrate her own daughter’s birthday, she clashes with rising Chief Charlie Clapper over a family case.
When a distraught mother pleads with Chronicle reporter Cindy Thomas to investigate the disappearance of her daughter, Linda, and baby granddaughter, Lorrie, Cindy immediately loops in SFPD. But Linda’s schoolteacher husband, Lucas Burke, tells a conicting story that paints Linda as a wayward wife, not a missing person. And there’s reason to believe he may be telling the truth.
While M.E. Claire Washburn harbors theories that run counter to the police investigation of the Burke case, ADA Yuki Castellano sizes Lucas up as a textbook domestic offender—until he puts forward a theory of his own that unexpectedly connects the dots on a constellation of copycat killings. If what Lucas tells law enforcement has even a grain of truth, there isn’t a woman in the state of California who’s safe from the reach of such an unspeakable threat.

Brat
An '80s Story By Andrew McCarthy
Patti Smith’s Just Kids meets Rob Lowe’s Stories I Only Tell My Friends in this beautifully written, entertaining, and emotionally honest memoir by actor, director, and author Andrew McCarthy. “This unlikely leading man explores masculinity, success, the dangers of fame, ambition, and cigarettes in this elegant and humorous coming-of-age story.”
—Candace Bushnell, New York Times bestselling author
—Stephen Fry, actor and author of Mythos
Most people know Andrew McCarthy from his movie roles in Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo’s Fire, Weekend at Bernie’s, and Less than Zero, and as a charter member of Hollywood’s Brat Pack. The iconic group of ingenues and heartthrobs that included Rob Lowe, Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, and Demi Moore, and has come to represent both a genre of lm and an era of pop culture.
In his memoir Brat: An ‘80s Story, McCarthy focuses his gaze on that singular moment in time. The result is a revealing look at coming of age in a maelstrom, reckoning with conicted ambition, innocence, addiction, and masculinity. New York City of the 1980’s is brought to vivid life in these pages—scoring loose joints in Washington Square Park and skipping school in favor of the dark revival houses of the Village where he fell in love with the movies that would change his life.
Filled with personal revelations of innocence lost to heady days in Hollywood with John Hughes and an iconic cast of characters, Brat is a surprising and intimate story of an outsider caught up in a most unwitting success. ANDREW MCCARTHY is an award-winning writer, actor, and director. He is an editor-at-large at National Geographic Traveler and has written for the New York Times, Atlantic, Wall Street Journal, and others. MARKETING
Print run: 125,000 From Pretty in Pink and St. Elmo's Fire to Weekend at Bernie's and Less Than Zero, the nostalgia factor is high for McCarthy's movies Brat is self-aware and vulnerable, charming and funny, and gives behind-the-scenes stories from listeners' favorite movies Brat Pack books work: Demi Moore's memoir was one of the most successful books of Fall 2019 McCarthy's The Longest Journey Home was named a best book of 2012 by the London Financial Times Digital and social media advertising campaign

Finding Peace in the Promises of God By Jinger Vuolo and Jeremy Vuolo
In The Hope We Hold, Jeremy and Jinger Vuolo share the highs and lows of their love story. They open up about the early days of getting to know one another, their longdistance relationship, and the many sleepless nights of their time as new parents.

There is an inheritance of glory, a life richer than we can imagine, if we only walk with Him.
