When a young boy and woman vanish in Palm Beach County, Florida, a rogue alligator is believed to have eaten them alive. Thomas Jefferson "TJ" Forte, US Fish & Wildlife officer and ex-Navy pilot, is tasked with finding the beast but he's skeptical that an alligator is the killer. His doubts are reinforced when the boy's body is found and it's covered with strange bite marks.
A crocodile becomes the principal suspect after one is reported missing from a local zoo and
the enigmatic Dr. Samantha "Sam" Brown, a reptile biologist who left the Stanford faculty to live on a remote Florida lake, joins TJ in the hunt for the carnivore.
The missing woman's remains are discovered and her husband offers a reward for killing the crocodile. Armed fortune seekers descend on Palm Beach, although one is looking for a different animal. Doug Kirkland, tattooed ex-con, runs an animal trafficking ring. He knows the maneater's true identity and he's determined to find her and protect his operation. He released the crocodile to throw off the searchers and is murdering his accomplices to cover his trail. Only he knows the real maneater is a Komodo dragon―a deadly and highly intelligent beast.
The crocodile is tracked and killed but no human remains are found in its stomach. TJ and Sam are left scrambling to find a new animal that fits the elusive creature's profile. They finally piece together the clues and race to find the reptile before she strikes again. The trail leads them into the sugar cane farms and tropical marshes of South Florida where they find themselves being hunted by both Kirkland and the Komodo dragon.

1944: As World War II rages on, the threat has come to the home front. In a remote corner of Idaho, Meiko Briggs and her daughter, Aiko, are desperate to return home. Following Meiko's husband's enlistment as an air force pilot in the Pacific months prior, Meiko and Aiko were taken from their home in Seattle and sent to one of the internment camps in the Midwest. It didn’t matter that Aiko was American-born: They were Japanese, and therefore considered a threat by the American government.
Mother and daughter attempt to hold on to elements of their old life in the camp when a mysterious disease begins to spread among those interned. What starts as a minor cold quickly becomes spontaneous fits of violence and aggression, even death. And when a disconcerting team of doctors arrive, nearly more threatening than the illness itself, Meiko and her daughter team up with a newspaper reporter and widowed missionary to investigate, and it becomes clear to them that something more sinister is afoot, a demon from the stories of Meiko’s childhood, hell-bent on infiltrating their already strange world.
Inspired by the Japanese yokai and the jorogumo spider demon, The Fervor explores the horrors of the supernatural beyond just the threat of the occult. With a keen and prescient eye, Katsu crafts a terrifying story about the danger of demonization, a mysterious contagion, and the search to stop its spread before it's too late. A sharp account of too-recent history, it's a deep excavation of how we decide who gets to be human when being human matters most.

She starts with hotel security, then the police, then the American embassy, at each confronting questions she can’t fully answer: What exactly is John doing in Lisbon?

With sparkling prose and razor-sharp insights, bestselling author Chris Pavone delivers a stunning and sophisticated international thriller that will linger long after the surprising final page.

As dreams of Clare and nightmares of the crash begin to converge, so do two disturbing puzzles fourteen years apart.

Never betray the brotherhood.
On a chilly November morning at the University of Georgia, a fraternity brother steps off a busy crosswalk and is struck dead by an oncoming car. More than a dozen witnesses all agree on two things: The driver looked identical to the victim, and he was smiling.
Detective Marlitt Kaplan is first on the scene. An Athens native and the daughter of a UGA professor, she knows all its shameful histories, from the skull discovered under the foundations of Baldwin Hall to the hushed-up murder-suicide in Waddel. But in the course of investigating this hit-and-run, she will uncover more chilling secrets as she explores the sprawling, interconnected Greek system that entertains and delights the university’s most elite and connected students.
The lines between Marlitt’s policework and her own past increasingly blur as Marlitt seeks to bring to justice an institution that took something precious from her many years ago. When threats against her escalate, and some long-buried secrets threaten to come to the surface, she can’t help but question whether the corruption in Athens has run off campus and into the force and how far these brotherhoods will go to protect their own.
