The long-awaited 4th installment in the Katie Connell romantic Caribbean mystery series brings back certified hot mess Katie, her sexy husband Nick, her jumbie house Annalise, and the rest of the gang for an exotic, suspense-filled island thriller with plenty of laughs and all the feels. "Katie is the first character I have absolutely fallen in love with since Stephanie Plum!" -- Stephanie Swindell, Bookstore Owner Katie Connell has swapped the practice of law in Texas for an exotic Caribbean home, three young kids, and a partnership with her husband Nick Kovacs in their investigations company, not without friction between the newlyweds, however. Katie believes it’s nothing a belated clothing-optional, room service-mandatory honeymoon can’t fix, but before the duo can board a plane to St. Bart’s, they must make a command appearance at the beachside house party of their wealthy client, Fran Nelson, an island matriarch. Unfortunately, Fran’s husband, Chuck—a successful builder who some call the Don Corleone of St. Marcos—grabs Katie's tush. She puts him in his place in front of his guests, then finds him dead only minutes later. The sloppy-at best, corrupt-at worst island police like Katie for the crime, despite Chuck's long list of enemies, including a seriously pissed off Carib jumbie spirit. She and Nick are forced to shelve their honeymoon plans, only to have Nick drawn away to Texas with his seriously ill father. Flying solo and fighting for her freedom, Katie is determined to catch a killer whose sights, like those of the cops, are set squarely on her. The Katie books have over 5000 reviews and a 4.5-star average. Available in digital, paperback, hardcover, large print, and audiobook.

Joe Pickett meets THE SHINING in this spine-tingling 1970s Wyoming mystery from USA Today bestselling author Pamela Fagan Hutchins. A killer blizzard has hit tiny Buffalo, Wyoming, where Dr. Patrick Flint is trapped inside the hospital with his family, trying to save the life of a prominent local citizen. An injured drifter shows up at the door, and Patrick takes him in. When the power and communications go out that night, people start dying, and the drifter is nowhere to be found. Patrick is caught between his duty to his patient, his loyalty to his family, and his fear for all of their lives. With the storm still raging, will there be any survivors left in the hospital when help finally arrives? “Best books I’ve read in a long time!” "Patrick pulled out his pistol and pointed the barrel at the ground of the ravine, following the sounds of the barking and growling of his Irish wolfhound. He drew a deep breath and rounded the corner, ready for anything. Or he thought he was ready for anything. A big animal. His dog caught in a trap. An out-of-season rattler. But what he found his dog guarding was something no one could ever truly be ready for. A person. Beaten to a pulp. Unrecognizable. The blood, fresh. Possibly dead. No. No, no, no. But wishing it were different didn’t make it so." 4.8-star rating. SITTING DUCK is the seventh book in the Patrick Flint series of thrilling mysteries, a spin-off from the What Doesn't Kill You saga.

Joe Pickett & Walt Longmire fans love these 1970s Wyoming mysteries from USA Today bestselling author Pamela Fagan Hutchins. When Patrick Flint goes after a murderer on the Wind River Reservation, he puts everything —and everyone — he cares about on the line. “Best books I’ve read in a long time!” Patrick Flint feels a calling to volunteer at the impoverished Indian Health Services clinic on the Wind River Reservation that he can’t completely explain. His wife Susanne supports this—usually—but her family is coming for their first Wyoming visit, twelve-year-old Perry is stir crazy and looking for trouble, teenager Trish is dangerously in love, and she and Patrick are in the final stages of negotiations for their dream house. The Christmas holidays are not a convenient time for him to be gone, to say the least, or to be out of communication, which is exactly what happens when a series of blizzards knocks out power and phone lines all over the region. When Patrick arrives in Fort Washakie to a flirty reception from the young clinic manager, Constance, he discovers Big Mike Teton, a tribal council member, dead in the health center parking lot. The circumstances point toward poisoning, but local law enforcement pooh-poohs that idea the second Patrick brings it up. So does Big Mike’s widow—none other than the lovely Constance. Stranded in the storm, Patrick follows his heart and the medical evidence in his quest to figure out what killed Big Mike. No one on the reservation seems happy about his involvement. But they aren’t half as unhappy with him as Susanne is back in Buffalo when their realtor calls with a make-or-break counteroffer on the house, and she still can’t reach him after two days of radio silence. As Patrick’s investigation begins to ruffle the wrong feathers, a frantic Susanne loads up the kids and her extended family for a trek across Wyoming to roust her husband, only to discover she’s not the only woman with a strong interest in the good doctor. Snake Oil is the second book in the brand new Patrick Flint series of thrilling mysteries, a spin-off from the What Doesn't Kill You saga. Available in digital, print, and audiobook. If you like C.J.

Nora Roberts meets Yellowstone in this brand new must read series from USA Today bestselling author Pamela Fagan Hutchins. When an investment guru turns up dead in the septic tank behind her husband’s new Wyoming lodge, Jennifer must put the campaign that could make her the youngest ever female district attorney in Houston on hold to defend the well-lubricated lodge caretaker, or he’ll go down for a murder she’s convinced he didn’t commit. Prosecutor Jennifer Herrington has it all in Texas, until her husband Aaron falls for a ramshackle lodge on the face of the ruggedly beautiful Bighorn Mountains. But before he can sell her on a new life in the cowboy state—one filled with pets and kids, where he’ll trade his fancy veterinary clinic for a simple country practice, and she’ll write the murder mystery she’s always dreamed of—they find a prominent local man in the septic tank, a knife in his temple, long past saving. As an early fall blizzard hits, deputies zero in on George, the caretaker, and not just because the lookalike victim is his sworn enemy and the ex-husband of George’s deceased wife: George is covered in blood with no memories of the night before. Despite the evidence (and lack of working plumbing at the lodge) and nightmares about a childhood trauma in Wyoming that she can't remember, Jennifer feels a connection to George, a man who saves baby skunks, rescues feral cats, and is besotted with the incontinent old dog who was also stabbed and left for dead by the killer. But, even so, when George asks for her help and Aaron begs her to stay, no one is more shocked than Jennifer when she agrees to take the case and search for the real murderer —at least until she can find a replacement lawyer for George and get back to the bright lights of her real life in the big city. Bonus for fans of other PFH series: watch for strong appearances by crossover characters from What Doesn't Kill You and Patrick Flint. A former attorney, Pamela runs an off-the-grid lodge on the face of Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains, living out the adventures in her books with her husband, rescue dogs and cats, and enormous horses.

When a killer threatens his family before their testimony in a capital murder trial, Patrick Flint will do anything to keep them safe. A peaceful day of skiing for the family. The murder of a prominent judge’s wife. A witness becomes the next target: thirteen-year-old Perry Flint. Patrick, his wife Susanne, and their kids head to the mountains for a day of skiing. At the lodge, thirteen-year-old Perry is the sole eyewitness to the murder of a prominent judge’s wife, only days before the first capital murder trial in the state of Wyoming since its reinstatement by the U.S. Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Susanne and Trish are gearing up to testify against ruthless killer Billy Kemecke at the trial, unless his criminal family can stop them first. With his family threatened from all sides, Patrick Flint will do anything to keep them safe. “Best book I’ve read in a long time!” “What about us?” To Trish Flint’s surprise, her younger brother Perry’s voice didn’t waver or even crack. “Are you going to kill us?” Their captor turned to him again. “I thought you were smart, but I take it back. Of course I am, Perry. You can identify me, and you were going to tell your family about me. You’re the only thing tying me to the murder of Jeannie Renkin. I’m sorry. It’s nothing personal.” Just then, while their captor’s eyes were still on Perry, a mountain lion jumped in the road right in front of the truck. It was enormous in the dusky gloom of the headlights. Trish screamed. Their captor’s head whipped forward. Arms jerked to the right. The truck lurched toward the rock face towering above them and one of the signs that said the rocks were old as dirt. Their captor wrenched the wheel away from the rock. The truck smashed into the cougar with a sickening thud, skittered to the left, and kept going. Trish’s head snapped forward and she braced herself against the dashboard. Beside her, Perry wasn’t as lucky. His body slammed into the gear shift and dashboard. The weight of his body ripped the rearview mirror off the windshield. For a moment, Trish thought everything was going to be okay, until their captor’s overcorrection sent the truck careening off the side of the road and into the nothingness over Clear Creek. "A roller-coaster ride from the first page to the last!" Sawbones is the third book in the suspenseful Patrick Flint series of thrilling mysteries, a spin-off from the What Doesn't Kill You saga.

An up-all-night 1970s Wyoming mystery from USA Today bestselling author Pamela Fagan Hutchins. When a plane crashes at the base of Black Tooth Mountain during a wicked summer storm, Patrick Flint’s moral compass leads him away from a trail ride with his family and to the wreckage in a search for survivors. But what he finds may teach him that not everything is what it seems, and not every life is worth saving. “Best book I’ve read in a long time!” "A few hundred feet ahead, he saw a dark splotch on the asphalt. At first, he thought it was a shadow, but as he drew closer, he could tell it was three dimensional. An animal? He couldn’t choose a course around it until he knew whether it would move, and in what direction. The propeller on the Tri-Pacer’s nose was lethal, of course, but impact with a critter could result in a dangerous broken windshield, or, worse, flip the small aircraft. He stepped on the brakes as hard as he dared, not wanting to send the plane cartwheeling from its own momentum. The Tri-Pacer shuddered and shimmied, and he fought to maintain control. Dear God, don’t let me wreck this thing. It’s not even paid for yet, and I’ve got precious cargo. Trish had been sleeping, thankfully, but she woke up with a start, her voice panicked. “What’s going on?” “Hold on,” Patrick said through gritted teeth. Ahead, the figure loomed closer. It was low to the ground and completely stationary. Had another plane already hit it? A dead bison? Or moose? A small bear, perhaps? What had seemed dark from hundreds of feet away now revealed itself as blue, red, and black. The blue perplexed him. It wasn’t the color of an animal, except for maybe a blue roan horse. Maybe the blue was a tarp or bag? He gauged the distance on either side. There was no room to pass without veering one wheel off the pavement. Too dangerous at this speed. He considered opening the throttle, pulling back on the stick, and hopping over it, but decided not to risk it. He was out of room. There was no longer any reason to focus on whether it was moving. He had to double down on stopping. Thank God he was piloting a Tri-Pacer. The little plane was the next best thing to a helicopter when it came to short strips. And this strip had suddenly become very, very short. With only feet to spare, the Tri-Pacer jerked to a standstill, nose tilted down. Patrick wiped sweat from his brow and exhaled. He had been so focused on stopping that he had almost forgotten about the figure that had made it necessary. Now he couldn’t see it. “Dad . . .” Trish’s voice was taut. Patrick glanced over at her. Her eyes were huge. “What is it? Are you okay?” “You saw that, right? You saw the man in the runway?” “The man?” She nodded. “He looked . . . dead.” A dead man—on a runway? It was hard to believe. Maybe she thought she saw a man, but it was probably a deer. But he had to check it out. “Stay in the plane.” Patrick turned off the switch, advanced the throttle to full forward, then closed it. He opened the lightweight door, not waiting for the propeller to stop spinning, something he would not normally ever have done. He climbed out and jumped to the ground, peering through the distortion caused by the blades. He still couldn’t identify the figure. Giving the propeller a wide berth, he ran around his aircraft until he could see the figure in front of it. And, to his surprise, he saw that Trish was right. It was a man, with an emphasis on “was.” An American Indian. And what was left of him wasn’t a pretty sight." If you like C.J. Box or Craig Johnson, you will love USA Today Best Seller Pamela Fagan Hutchins' Patrick Flint series.
