Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter
The #1 internationally bestselling author returns with a new standalone where a sudden act of violence shatters one woman’s understanding of her mother and her past.
"[Slaughter’s] talent for writing convincingly flawed yet sympathetic characters is in high relief here, as she juggles the mystery of Laura, past and present. Readers will find themselves totally immersed in the suspenseful, alternating story lines and won’t want either of them to end…. This departure from Slaughter’s more-gruesome stand-alone thrillers and popular series mysteries will more than satisfy her many fans."

November Road by Lou Berney
Set against the assassination of JFK, a poignant and evocative crime novel that centers on a desperate cat-and-mouse chase across 1960s America—a story of unexpected connections, daring possibilities, and the hope of second chances from the multiple award-winning author of The Long and Faraway Gone. This is the HarperCollins Lead Read for Fall 2018.
"November Road is a remarkable and unforgettable reading experience. Lou Berney’s artistry as a writer hits you in the heart and tugs hard at your soul. This tense and riveting thriller unfolds in the shadow of the assassination of JFK and is a deeply moving love story about people caught in moral dilemmas for which there are no easy answers and who together find hope against all odds. It will stay with you long after you read the final page. You will recommend it to friends. You will read it again. Berney is a writer to be read and admired. This is a staggeringly brilliant book and a flat-out terrific read."
