SHATTERED JUSTICE
The Bone Gap Travellers Series
Susan Furlong
In the Appalachian town of Bone Gap, Tennessee, backwoods justice is more
than just blind. It’s swift, silent, and shockingly personal. In Susan Furlong’s
third series installment, Irish-Traveller-turned-deputy-sheriff Brynn Callahan
must investigate disturbing clues meticulously staged by a twisted killer while
she navigates tensions between the Irish Travellers and the settled folk in her
Appalachian community.
“Hear No Evil.”
KENSINGTON HARDCOVER JANUARY 2020
The first message is found in a playground. A few feet away, a pair of human ears hang from the monkey bars. Deputy sheriff Brynn Callahan
isn’t sure what to make of this grisly scene. Do the ears belong to a murder victim? And if so, where is the body? One thing Brynn is sure of:
the earring on one of the earlobes belong to a man she met at a party the previous night…
“Speak No Evil.”
The second message is discovered next to a human tongue on a park pavilion. Once again, no body is found. Brynn can’t help but wonder if the

AND DANGEROUS TO KNOW
The Rosalind Thorne Mystery Series

Lady Melbourne’s desk, the charming and resourceful “useful woman,” Rosalind
Thorne, is about to find herself enmeshed in the trials and tangles surrounding
that most notorious poet of the Regency—Lord Byron, and the most famous of his
mistresses, the utterly ungovernable Lady Caroline Lamb.

When the ladies of the ton of Regency London need discreet assistance, they turn to Rosalind Thorne, a useful woman who knows better than
anyone that trust is a delicate thing. Lady Melbourne has entrusted her with recovering a packet of highly sensitive private letters stolen from
her desk. The contents of these letters hold great interest for the famous poet Lord Byron, who had carried on a notorious public affair with Lady
Melbourne’s daughter-in-law, the inconveniently unstable Lady Caroline Lamb. Rosalind is to take up residence in Melbourne House, posing as

“The Rosalind Thorne mysteries are loosely inspired by Jane Austen’s novels, and Wilde has done
a masterful job of recreating the tone and language of Austen’s England…Rosalind is a spirited,
sympathetic heroine; while her position as a “useful lady” brings her into the orbit of criminality, she
remains very much a product of her time, ever heedful of her reputation and standing in society.
Wilde has given her just enough modern sensibilities to make her relatable but never oversteps in
a way that divorces from the realities of the time…Here is a mystery with a nice balance between the
salacious and the sad, the gratifying and the tragic.”

THE MOONSHINER’S DAUGHTER
Donna Everhart
Set in North Carolina in 1960 and brimming with authenticity and grit, The
Moonshiner’s Daughter evokes the singular life of sixteen-year-old Jessie Sasser,
a young woman determined to escape her family’s past…
Generations of Sassers have made moonshine in the Brushy Mountains of Wilkes County, North Carolina. Their history is recorded in
a leather-bound journal that belongs to Jessie Sasser’s daddy, but Jessie wants no part of it. As far as she’s concerned, moonshine caused
her mother’s death a dozen years ago.
Her father refuses to speak about her mama, or about the day she died. But Jessie has a gnawing hunger for the truth—one that compels
her to seek comfort in food. Yet all her self-destructive behavior seems to do is feed what her school’s gruff but compassionate nurse describes
KENSINGTON TRADE PAPERBAC K JANUARY 2020
as the “monster” inside Jessie.

Resenting her father’s insistence that moonshining runs in her veins, Jessie makes a plan to destroy the stills, using their neighbors as scapegoats.
Instead, her scheme escalates an old rivalry and reveals long-held grudges. As she endeavors to right wrongs old and new, Jessie’s loyalties
will bring her to unexpected revelations about her family, her strengths—and a legacy that may provide her with the answers she has been
longing for.

“Everhart writes about the tension between mother and daughter with bravery and wit, unearthing the little things that can seesaw a
relationship between trust and resentment. And I’m sure I won’t be the only one who sees glimpses of Harper Lee’s young Scout in Dixie’s
stubbornness and naiveté. Like To Kill a Mockingbird, The Education of Dixie Dupree delves into subjects too powerful to allow the book
to be labeled as charming. But there is a wistful magic in seeing the world again through a child’s viewpoint, even if that world is not as
shiny and innocent as one would hope.”
—The Amazon Book Review on The Education of Dixie Dupree
“This Indie Next Pick is a difficult read at times—there’s one scene in particular that I struggled with—but I applaud the author for
tackling the darkest, most heinous corner of family life: the sexual abuse of a child. The novel brims with Southern charm and introduces
the captivating voice of 11-year-old Ms. Dixie Dupree. Read it for her. She has a story that begs to be heard.”

WHAT HOLDS US TOGETHER
Sandi Ward
From the author of The Astonishing Thing and Something Worth Saving, a tender,
wise, and insightful novel of a family cat, a second chance, and the love that
persists through the deepest heartache.
They say that cats don’t like change. But Luna, an imaginative Tabby, understands that sometimes it’s necessary. When her owner, Annika,
moved back to her small New England hometown six months ago along with her sixteen-year-old twins, Luna knew it was for the best. Ever since
Annika’s husband, Peter, died suddenly, the family has been floundering. Luna, too, is guilt-ridden, sure she could have done more to save her
favorite person. Luna also knows something the others don’t know. Peter’s spirit is still with them, and Luna believes there is something he needs
her help to do…
Annika has been struggling to move on. It doesn’t help that her son, Donovan, blames her for his father’s death. Peter always told Annika that
they had the best love story going, yet the fact is that much of their story has been hidden away, even from their children. When Annika’s first
love, Sam, arrives to plow them out during an intensifying storm, the truth begins to emerge at last. And Luna—watchful and unwavering in her
affection—may be her family’s best hope of learning how to forgive and to heal…

SILENT THREAT
Jeff Gunhus
A father charged with treason. A daughter sent to kill him. A shocking
conspiracy that changes all the rules of the spy game for a new generation…
USA Today bestselling author Jeff Gunhus kicks off a fast-paced spy thriller
duology featuring a father-daughter team as they take on underworld
organizations, powerful politicians, and bloodthirsty guns for hire.
With more than a dozen kills under her belt, ex-Marine Mara Roberts is one of the Agency’s most reliable assassins. But her latest target—a
convicted traitor about to be released from prison—is different than her other marks. He’s a former agent who betrayed his country. He’s
responsible for the death of Mara’s mother. And he happens to be Mara’s father…

Scott Roberts knows that his daughter was sent to kill him. He realizes he has only one chance to change her mind, to convince her that he’s
been framed for treason—and that every member of their family are pawns to be sacrificed, one by one. Mara isn’t sure she can trust her father.
He is a master of manipulation, as ruthless as he is resourceful. But when her nephew is abducted, she agrees to follow Scott’s lead and expose
the global elites who are pulling the strings. But first, they must infiltrate the highest levels of power. Then, they must attempt the unthinkable:
Kidnap the President of the United States…

The Cat Groomer Mystery Series
Eileen Watkins
The fur is really going to fly when groomer Cassie McGlone drags in a
catnapper in Eileen Watkins’ fourth Cat Groomer Mystery featuring the
owner of a cat grooming and boarding business in the picturesque town
of Chadwick, New Jersey.
With her new van, Cassie has expanded her Comfy Cat business to include mobile cat grooming. Next stop: a cat expo at a hotel just outside
her hometown of Chadwick, New Jersey, where Cassie will give a grooming demo using shelter cats to encourage adoption while her veterinarian
boyfriend Mark will offer a program on cat care and health.
The highlight of the expo will be a major cat show featuring pop sensation Jaki Natal. Almost as famous as his owner is her pet Gordie, a Scottish
fold, who’s become a social media darling. But when adorable Gordie goes missing and his sitter is found murdered, Jaki is having kittens. While
the cops are more interested in solving the murder of a human, Jaki insists Cassie help expose the catnapper and return gorgeous Gordie to the
fold. Now it’s Cassie’s turn to solo as she plays a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with a culprit who’s not afraid to pounce…

The Secret, Book, and Scone Society Series
Ellery Adams
Join New York Times bestselling author Ellery Adams for the second installment
in her sparkling new cozy mystery series featuring a librarian-turned-bookseller
with a penchant for bibliotherapy and a sideline in solving crime…In the picturesque
town of Miracle Springs, North Carolina bookstore owner, bibliotherapist and
amateur sleuth Nora Pennington and fellow members of the Secret, Book, and
Scone Society encounter a mysterious young girl who may be connected to
several suspicious local deaths.

Nora Pennington, owner of Miracle Books, believes that a well-chosen novel can bring healing and hope. But she and the other members of the
Secret, Book, and Scone Society know that sometimes, practical help is needed too. Such is the case with the reed-thin girl hiding in the fiction

work, shelter, and a supportive ear, their guest isn’t ready to divulge her secrets. But when a customer is found dead in an assumed suicide, Nora
uncovers a connection that points to Abilene as either a suspect —or another target.

SOME CHOOSE DARKNESS
Charlie Donlea
Some choose darkness. Others are chosen by it. Which do you choose?
USA Today and Indiebound bestselling author Charlie Donlea injects his
emblematic jaw-dropping twists, sophisticated character development,
uncommon perspectives, and electric prose into a haunting novel about
deadly secrets hiding in plain sight–now in paperback…
The truth is easy to miss, even when it’s right in front of us. As a forensic reconstructionist, Rory Moore sheds light on cold‑case homicides by
piecing together crime scene details others fail to see. Cleaning out her late father’s law office a week after his burial, she receives a call that
plunges her into a decades‑old case come to life once more.
In the summer of 1979, five Chicago women went missing. The predator, nicknamed The Thief, left no bodies and no clues behind—until police
received a package from a mysterious woman named Angela Mitchell, whose unorthodox investigation skills appear to have led to his identity.
But before they could question her, Angela disappeared. Forty years later, The Thief is about to be paroled for Angela’s murder—the only crime
the DA could pin on him. But the cryptic file Rory finds in her father’s law office suggests there is more to the case, and Angela Mitchell, than
what was fed to the public, the details of which have been buried for four decades.

MURDER AT THE CAPITOL
A Lincoln’s White House Mystery
C. M. Gleason
In July 1861, just months after the Battle of Fort Sumter plunges the young nation
into civil war, President Lincoln’s top priority is to unite the country, while Adam
Quinn finds himself on the trail of a murderer in this third Lincoln’s White House
Mystery by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author C.M. Gleason.
On Independence Day, the citizens of Washington, D.C., are celebrating as if there isn’t a war on. But the city is teeming with green Union
recruits while President Lincoln and his War Department are focused on military strategy to take Richmond in Secessionist Virginia in order to bring
the conflict to a swift end. Manassas, Virginia, near Bull Run Creek, is in their sights.

The very next morning, as Congress convenes once more, a dead body is found on the marble floor of the Rotunda beneath the unfinished dome
of the Capitol. Lincoln’s close confidante, Adam Speed Quinn, is called upon to determine whether the man fell, or was pushed to his death.
With the help of Dr. George Hilton and journalist Sophie Gates, Quinn investigates what turns out to be murder. But the former scout is about to
be blindsided, for a Southern sympathizer in the city is running a female spy network reporting to the Confederacy, and she has an insidious plot
to get to Lincoln himself through Quinn—by employing the charms of one Constance Lemagne…

TWENTY
Debra Landwehr Engle
Sometimes life is the best medicine…
Defiantly uplifting, Twenty is a warm and unforgettable novel—a reminder that
hope finds a way to bloom, if we let it.
“Along with naming me Marguerite after her favorite daisy, Mama gave me three things: Red hair that hasn’t faded. A love of nature.
And a belief that somewhere between heaven and earth there is magic.”
At age fifty-five, Meg’s life is too filled with loss for her to remember what magic feels like. All she has left is a yard brimming with plants that are
wilting in the scorching Iowa summer—and a bone-deep feeling that she’s through with living.

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE MALTED MILKSHAKE
The Death by Chocolate Mystery Series
Sarah Graves
The island fishing village of Eastport, Maine, has plenty of salty local character.
It also has a sweet side, thanks to Jacobia “Jake” Tiptree, her best friend Ellie,
and their waterfront bake shop, The Chocolate Moose. But when island life is
disrupted by the occasional killer, Jake and Ellie put their chocolate treats aside
to make sure justice is served in this second Death by Chocolate Mystery novel
by Sarah Graves—now in paperback!
This summer, Eastport’s favorite lovebirds, kindergarten teacher Sharon Sweetwater and Coast Guard Captain Andy Devine, are getting married.

The gala reception is sure to be the fête of the season, especially with a wedding-cake-sized whoopie pie courtesy of The Chocolate Moose. For
Jake and Ellie, the custom-ordered confection will finally reel in some much-needed profits. But the celebratory air, and sweet smell of success,
are ruined by foul murder. When Sharon’s bitter ex-boyfriend Toby is murdered with a poisoned milkshake, Andy is jailed as the prime suspect and
the wedding is canceled, whoopie pie and all. Then Sharon makes a shocking confession—one that sounds like a fishy attempt to get Andy off
the hook. Now both the bride and groom are behind bars. And with the fate of The Chocolate Moose at stake, it’s up to Jake and Ellie to catch a
poisonous predator before someone else sips one last dessert.

In the second Bridge to Death Mystery by R.J. Lee, reporter and bridge player
Wendy Winchester once again plays ace detective when a country club member
in the small town of Rosalie, Mississippi is murdered in a hot tub…
Now an investigative reporter for the Daily Citizen in the Mississippi River port of Rosalie, Wendy still likes to unwind over a game of cards.
Following the demise of the Rosalie Bridge Club, she’s started her own group at the Rosalie Country Club. During the first meeting of the Country
Club Bridge Players, the dummy has barely been laid down when another dummy gets in a scuffle at the bar across the room. Bridge player Carly
Ogle’s husband Brent is at it again.
After the club’s new female golf pro breaks up the fight, Brent storms off to soak in a hot tub. But Carey soon finds the bullying Brent dead in the
water, clubbed over the head with the pestle the barkeep uses to crush leaves for mint juleps.
Racist, sexist, homophobic, and an all-around lout, Brent made enough enemies to fill a bridge tournament. So Wendy has to play her cards right
to get the story—and stay out of hot water long enough to put the squeeze on the killer…

Mary Monroe transports readers to a small town in Depression-era Alabama,
where home is not always a sanctuary, and two neighboring families let

Bootlegging was Milton and Yvonne Hamilton’s ticket out of poverty, prison time, and plain bad luck. Now they’ve moved on—to a bigger, richer

rivals—and add a lucrative temptation to his illicit services. And Yvonne, emboldened by her husband’s new gravy train, delights in tormenting

THE PLUM TREE
Ellen Marie Wiseman
Praised by Jewish Book World as “a beautifully written story of intrigue, terror,
and love from a perspective not often seen in Holocaust novels” and now reissued
for the first time since its 2013 release, Ellen Marie Wiseman’s highly acclaimed
debut novel follows a young German woman through the chaos of World War II
and its aftermath as she struggles to survive poverty, Allied bombs, and agents
of the Third Reich while trying to save the Jewish man who is the love of her life.
Seventeen‑year‑old Christine Bolz knows that there is a whole world waiting beyond her small German village. It’s a world she’s begun to glimpse
through music, books—and through Isaac Bauerman, the cultured son of the wealthy Jewish family she works for.
FEBRUARY 2020 KENSINGTON TRADE PAPERBAC K REPAC KAGE REISSUE

Yet in the fall of 1938, Germany is changing rapidly under Hitler’s regime. Anti‑Jewish posters appear on street corners, dissenting talk is silenced,
and a new law forbids Christine from returning to her job—and from having any relationship with Isaac. In the months and years that follow,
Christine will confront the Gestapo’s wrath and the horrors of Dachau, desperate to protect those she loves, to survive, and finally, to speak out.

Bakery owner Hannah Swensen is leaving Lake Eden to help a friend in sunny California. But an unexpected phone call swiftly brings her back to
a cold Minnesota winter…and murder…
When Hannah learns that her sister Michelle’s boyfriend, Detective Lonnie Murphy, is the prime suspect in a murder case, she goes straight from a
movie studio sound stage to the Los Angeles airport.

Back in frigid Minnesota, she discovers that proving Lonnie’s innocence will be harder than figuring out what went wrong with a recipe. Lonnie

The Lady and Lady’s Maid Mystery Series
Alyssa Maxwell
In Alyssa Maxwell’s fifth Lady and Lady’s Maid Mystery, as England recovers
from its costly involvement in the Great War, Lady Phoebe Renshaw and her la-
dy’s maid, Eva Huntford, find the steady comforts of their lives unsettled by
a local case of murder…
Eva is excited for a visit from her sister Alice, who lives in Suffolk with her husband and three children. But when Alice arrives alone, desiring a
break from her family, Eva becomes concerned. Her dismay deepens as Alice starts spending time with a former beau, Keenan Ripley, who owns
the nearby pear orchard. At the same time, Phoebe’s sister Julia, now a widow and pregnant, is in a fretful state, and Phoebe struggles to be
helpful to her.
When Keenan’s brother Stephen, the new head gardener at the Renshaw estate, Foxwood Hall, is found impaled by a pair of hedge clippers,
the police—including Eva’s beau, Constable Miles Brannock—suspect his closest kin. Stephen had been eager to sell their orchard to an
American developer, but Keenan had fiercely resisted. A table set with two teacups and scones suggests Keenan had company the morning of the
murder—and Eva fears her sister was with him.
Category: Mystery If Alice were to provide Keenan with an alibi, her reputation and marriage would be ruined. She denies being there but is clearly withholding

DEAD RINGER
The Mattie Winston Mystery Series
Annelise Ryan
The eleventh book in the Mattie Winston series by USA Today bestselling author
Annelise Ryan finds Mattie balancing her job as nurse-turned-assistant medical
examiner with being a newlywed and a new mother, as a gruesome murder
involving flower petals forces Mattie to question the conviction in a case she
worked on years ago.
A new murder victim with an old M.O. puts Mattie Winston on the trail of a killer who gives a grim new meaning to flower power…
Spring is beginning to brighten Sorenson, Wisconsin, for Mattie and Steve Hurley and their family. While their son Matthew may be in his terrible
twos and Steve’s daughter Emily a moody teenager, the kids bring light to their lives when their work is dark by its nature—Steve is a homicide
detective and Mattie is a medicolegal investigator, a.k.a. medical examiner. They deal in corpses.
The latest corpse, a Jane Doe, was clearly an addict, but drugs didn’t kill her, at least not directly. She’s been stabbed multiple times in a pattern
that is disturbingly familiar to Mattie. When she discovers flower petals from yellow carnations stuffed into the stab wounds, she recognizes
a very specific M.O.—belonging to a convicted serial killer who’s currently serving a life sentence.
Category: Mystery
ISBN13: 978-1-4967-2255-3
The details of the flower petals were never made public in the last case, so it can’t be a copycat crime. It looks like the wrong man is in prison,

the Third Reich in the only way they know how—through non-violent resistance.
Most will pay for their “treason” with their lives, but one of them, Natalya
Petrovich, survives to tell her story. She is drawn into a world where every
word, every hushed conversation, every act of resistance are possible death
sentences. The Traitor is a novel of intrigue, betrayal, of murder and sacrifice,
and the courageous story of one woman who offers her life in the ultimate
battle against tyranny.
Drawing on the true story of the White Rose—the resistance movement of young Germans against the Nazi regime—The Traitor

tells of one woman who offers her life in the ultimate battle against tyranny, during one of history’s darkest hours.
In the summer of 1942, as war rages across Europe, a series of anonymous leaflets appears around the University of Munich, speaking out
against escalating Nazi atrocities. The leaflets are hidden in public places, or mailed to addresses selected at random from the phone book.
Natalya Petrovich, a student, knows who is behind the leaflets—a secret group called the White Rose, led by siblings Hans and Sophie Scholl

grittiest neighborhood, as Louise Faulk is about to discover when the death of
a young prostitute leads her on a grim journey through the district’s darkest
corners…
Filthy, dangerous, and deadly—Hell’s Kitchen is no place for a lady, but Louise Faulk is no ordinary woman. The amateur investigator turned
rookie policewoman is investigating the death of young prostitute, Ruthie, who leaves behind a baby boy. Although detectives are quick to declare
it a suicide, Louise is less certain after she discovers clues implying murder while attempting to find a caretaker for Ruthie’s orphaned son.

Uncovering the truth won’t be easy, especially since Louise is struggling to make a name for herself amid the boys’ club of the New York City

undercover investigation that often seems to conceal more than it reveals. Louise is convinced Ruthie’s secrets got her killed, but can she prove
it before they catch up to her too?

Kristina McMorris
The deepest bonds are never broken…
From award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Kristina McMorris, comes
a powerful and thought-provoking novel that interweaves past and present,
as custody of a young widow’s son hangs in the balance when injuries from his

mother must relinquish her armor of skepticism and follow a mysterious trail
unearthed by the boy’s dreams, secrets of love and loyalty that have been
carefully buried since WWII.
In this richly emotional novel, Kristina McMorris evokes the depth of a mother’s bond with her child, and the power of personal histories
to echo through generations…

The Extraordinary Young Women of the
First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz
Heather Dune Macadam
with a Foreword by Caroline Moorehead
From National Book Award nominee Heather Dune Macadam, the untold story
of the 999 young, unmarried Jewish women who were tricked into boarding
a train in Poprad, Slovakia, on March 25, 1942 that became the first official
transport to Auschwitz. Believing that they had been called up for three months
of government service, these women were sold to the Nazis as slave labor by
CITADEL PRESS HARDCOVER JANUARY 2020
their own government. Drawing on extensive interviews with survivors,

historians, witnesses, and relatives of those first deportees, 999 is an important
addition to Holocaust literature and women’s history.
On March 25, 1942, nearly a thousand young, unmarried Jewish women boarded a train in Poprad, Slovakia. Filled with a sense of adventure
and national pride, they left their parents’ homes wearing their best clothes and confidently waving good-bye. Believing they were going to work

Rena’s Promise
“This memoir captures the horror of Auschwitz in a clear way that helps the reader understand the
atrocities perpetrated there. Recommended for Holocaust collections.”
—Library Journal
“Rena’s Promise is written with simplicity and grace…The overwhelming feeling upon finishing is one of
triumph: It is still possible to find selflessness and human connection among people living in a place of
relentless horror.”
—Los Angeles Times Book Review
“A poignant and important act of remembrance.”
—Sir Martin Gilbert, author of The Holocaust: The Human Tragedy
“An extraordinary book, vividly written and generously told. You will not easily forget Rena Kornreich
and her sister Danka. Nor should you. Harrowing as it often is, this is less a tragedy than a love story.
By turns soul-wrenching, inspiring, and heartbreaking, this is a tale that should live long beyond the
wonderful woman who inspired it.”
—Alexandra Fuller, author of Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight
“Through her actions during and after the Shoah, Rena Kornreich Gelissen ensured that out of the
darkest night, the light of the survivors and their memory remained. Faced with destruction, she and the
Jewish people survived.”
—Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks
“Rena’s Promise went with us on the Zen Peacemakers’ first pilgrimage to Auschwitz in 1996. On our
first night together, one of our monks shared a simple message of love from Rena to us. Her message
changed our lives.”
—Peter Matthiessen, author of In Paradise
“One of the most accurate accounts, and the only account of the first women’s camp in Auschwitz. This
is a book historians will refer to for years to come.”

GONE AT MIDNIGHT:
The Mysterious Death of Elisa Lam
Jake Anderson
A Los Angeles hotel with a haunting history. A disturbing video
followed by a shocking discovery. A cold-case mystery that has
become an internet phenomenon—and for one determined journalist,
a life-changing quest toward uncomfortable truths…
Investigative journalist Jake Anderson explores the mysterious death of Elisa
Lam, a 21-year-old student who was found dead in the water tank of a hotel with
a sordid history of suicides, unexplained deaths, and even ghosts. The Lam case
became an internet sensation through a hotel security video that went viral. This
book give new insights into the case that has perplexed millions.
CITADEL PRESS HARDCOVER MARC H 2020
Twenty-one-year-old Vancouver student Elisa Lam was last heard from on January 31, 2013, after she checked into downtown L.A.’s Cecil
Hotel—a 600-room building with a nine-decade history of scandal and tragedy. The next day, Elisa vanished. A search of the hotel yielded
nothing. More than a week later, complaints by guests of foul-smelling tap water led to a grim discovery: Elisa’s nude body floating in a rooftop

the way, he exposed a botched investigation and previously unreported disclosures from inside sources who suggest there may have been a
corporate conspiracy and a police cover-up. In Gone at Midnight, Anderson chronicles eye-opening discoveries about who Elisa Lam really was
and what—or whom—she was running from, and presents shocking new evidence that may reopen one of the most chilling and obsessively
followed true-crime cases of the century.
An Excerpt From Gone at Midnight:

One day in 2013 a friend emailed me a link. Opening it, I found myself watching a grainy video
recorded by a hotel’s elevator surveillance camera. I didn’t know it at the time, but in opening the
link I had opted into an obsessive quest that would change the way I think about the world and
myself. I spent the next five years trying to solve a puzzle that is still missing most of its pieces.
The footage was from inside the Cecil Hotel in L.A. At that time the view count was several
hundred thousand, but it has since ballooned to over 22 million. The blurry, pixelated video
showed a young woman with shoulder-length black hair in a red hoodie and black cargo shorts
entering an elevator and leaning over to inspect the button panel. She pushed several of the
buttons and then stood waiting. The doors remained open. The video description read:
“Elisa Lam, the Vancouver woman who disappeared in Los Angeles on Jan. 31, is seen acting
strangely in new video released by police on Thursday.”
The young woman became interested in something outside the elevator, as though she’d heard a
noise or voice in the hallway. Her body language became nervous, hesitant. She lurched through
the doors, peering down the hallway to the right. Whatever Elisa saw (or heard) caused her to
retreat back into the elevator in what looked like an attempt to elude someone.
Moments later Elisa wandered back out into the hotel hallway. She began gesticulating, as if
conversing with an unseen figure. Was she sleep walking? Possessed? Finally, Elisa shoved off
out of frame of the surveillance camera. The elevator doors closed.
I felt the terror frozen in those pixels, and it became clear to me.
She was hiding from someone. And now she’s missing…
