Mystery Night: Reed Farrell Coleman and Matt Goldman

MYSTERY NIGHT: Matt Goldman and Reed Farrel Coleman

Reed Farrel Coleman, The Bitterest Pill  

Reed Farrel Coleman is a four-time nominee for the Edgar Award and the
mind behind Robert B. Parker’s Jesse Stone series. His latest, The Bitterest
Pill, sets an investigation in the idyllic town of Paradise, where a popular
high school cheerleader has died of a suspected heroin overdose. It will
be up to police chief Jesse Stone to unravel the supply chain and unmask
the criminals behind it. As he digs deeper into the case, he finds himself
battling self-interested administrators, reluctant teachers, distrustful
schoolkids, and overprotective parents… and at the end of the line are the
true bad guys, the ones with a lucrative business they'd kill to protect.

Matt Goldman, Dead West

New York Times-bestselling and Emmy Award-winning author Matt
Goldman brings Minneapolis private detective Nils Shapiro back for another
thrilling, standalone adventure in Dead West. Nils Shapiro accepts what
appears to be an easy, lucrative job: find out if Beverly Mayer’s grandson
is foolishly throwing away his trust fund in Hollywood, especially now, in
the wake of his fiancée’s tragic death. Nils quickly suspects that Ebben
Mayer’s fiancée was murdered, and that Ebben himself may have been
the target. As Nils moves into Ebben’s inner circle, he discovers that
everyone in Ebben’s professional life—his agent, manager, a screenwriter,
a producer—seem to have dubious motives at best.
