False Witness
by Karin Slaughter
He saw what you did ... He knows who you are. The
stunning new standalone from the no.1 international
bestselling author
They thought they’d got away with it ... they were
wrong.
Leigh and her sister Callie are not bad people - but one
night, more than two decades ago, they did something
terrible. And the result was a childhood tarnished by secrets,
broken by betrayal, devastated by violence.
Years later, Leigh has pushed that night from her mind and become a successful
lawyer - but when she is forced to take on a new client against her will, her world
begins to spiral out of control.
Because the client knows the truth about what happened twenty-three years ago.
He knows what Leigh and Callie did. And unless they stop him, he’s going to tear
their lives apart ...
Just because you didn’t see the witness ... doesn’t mean he wasn’t there.
Sisters of the Resistance
A Novel of Catherine Dior’s Paris Spy Network
by Christine Wells
Two sisters join the Paris Resistance in this page-turning new novel inspired by the
real-life bravery of Catherine Dior, sister of the fashion designer and a heroine of
World War II France—perfect for fans of Kate Quinn and Jennifer Chiaverini.
“As dazzling as a Dior gown! With a gorgeous blend of fashion, heartbreak, heroism,
and love this book will transport you to France...” —Natasha Lester, New York Times
bestselling author of The Paris Secret
Paris, 1944: The war is nearly over, but for members of the Resistance in occupied
France, it is more dangerous than ever before. Twenty-five-year-old Gabby Foucher
loathes the Nazis, though as the concierge of 10 rue Royale, she does her best to
avoid conflict—unlike her bolder sister Yvette, who finds trouble at every turn.
Then they are both recruited into the Resistance by Catherine Dior and swept into
a treacherous world of spies, fugitives, and intrigue. While Gabby risks everything
for the man she is hiding from the Nazis, Yvette must decide whether to trust an
enigmatic diplomat who seems to have guessed her secret. As the threat of betrayal
draws ever-closer, one slip could mean the deaths of many, and both sisters must
make choices they might regret.
