The pledge / by Kent, Kathleen,author.;
"The third and final installment in Detective Betty Rhyzyk's story. Things are looking up for Detective Betty--she's settled into a happy marriage and been promoted to Sergeant in the Dallas Police Department. But when a hostage stand-off puts her on the phone with the legendary cartel leader The Knife, things take a dangerous turn. It seems a rival cartel is making a play for business in Dallas--headed by none other than Evangeline Roy, not only the matriarch of a ruthless cult, but a woman who has been nursing a personal vendetta against Betty for years. The Knife wants Betty to get Evangeline out of Dallas. Or else. Within days, law enforcement is picking up drug dealers wearing strange red wigs, all bearing cryptic messages for Betty, and Mary Grace, the young woman Betty's been helping to find her feet, has disappeared--leaving her seven-month-old baby behind. With the clock ticking down, and as Evangeline draws closer and The Knife's patience wears thin, it will take everything Betty's got to put an end to Evangeline's reign of terror, and to keep her growing family and beloved Dallas safe"--

You have gone too far / by O'Connor, Carlene,author.;
After two pregnant women in Dingle who have never met each receive a chilling email warning them that they're in grave danger, the two decide to meet each other to figure out what is going on. But when one of the mothers, Shauna, a deaf woman, arrives at their meeting place at the village Spring Festival, she fears a trap and hurries off to meet the couple who plan to adopt her baby. Meanwhile, Dimpna Wilde has her hands full with lambing season and keeping track of her father, so she's grateful for the help of a well-meaning ten-year-old boy, Dylan, at the veterinary clinic. But when the lad goes missing after going into a bog on a dare with two other boys to search for a "monster," she is desperate to help find him. After the adoptive couple are discovered tied up in their home, telling a terrifying story of a deaf pregnant woman being abducted by a man wearing a butterfly mask, Detective Inspector Cormac O'Brien and Detective Sergeant Barbara Neely fear a repeat of a disturbing case from twenty years earlier, when a charismatic leader calling himself the Shepherd, lured poor pregnant girls into his enigmatic cult. Though allegations of baby smuggling were never proven, he'd been put away on other charges. But then they learn that the Shepherd has recently been released from prison. Trapped in a cold, dark room with a frightened boy, Shauna fears for their lives as well as that of her unborn baby. If she has any chance of getting out and away from the Moth Man, as she calls her abductor, she'll have to figure out the truth behind who she really is and how that connects to the ordeal she finds herself in now. But time is running out and her baby will be born soon.

All the demons are here : a novel / by Tapper, Jake,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."It's 1977. Ike and Lucy, Senator Charlie and Margaret Marder's kids, are grown up-and in trouble. US Marine Ike has gone somewhat off the grid, working on Evel Knievel's pit crew in Montana, when-after a bar fight-he has to flee a neo-Nazi gang and seek refuge in the woods with a group of Vietnam veterans. Lucy, a reporter, has become the star of the brand new Washington DC tabloid, the Sentinel, and is breaking all sorts of stories about a serial killer and falling in with the Lyons, the wealthy family that owns the newspaper, British immigrants with quite a different view of journalism than Lucy's heroes Woodward and Bernstein. As their lives spiral out of control, Ike goes on the road with Evel Knievel, the Vietnam veterans, and other societal outcasts, first heading to Graceland to mourn Elvis Presley, then going to confront politicians-for grievances real and perceived-on an island in Georgia. Lucy, too, is at that retreat with both her parents and the Lyon family, attendees at this retreat where the future of the post-Nixon Republican party will be decided. The confrontation turns violent and both Ike and Lucy have to make decisions that will affect them for the rest of their lives. Alternating between Ike and Lucy's dual, fast-paced narratives, All the Demons Are Here offers a thrilling continuation of the Marder family's story with an unforgettable, brother-sister duo"--
