He Said, She Said: A Mystery
by John DecureFor state prosecutor Bradlee Aames, psychosis is a fact of life, a waking nightmare from which modern medicine’s soulless jargon and mind-numbing meds have offered little relief. Bradlee stays focused by winning trial after trial, even while she’s self-medicating with booze, dope, and midnight surfing sessions at a classic LA point break. But when a thick fog of delusions engulfs her, she blows a case, and her reputation and competence are called into question. To rehabilitate her career, her boss gives her an easy assignment: Dr. Don, a popular TV shrink and former state Medical Board expert, now stands accused of sexually exploiting a vulnerable female patient, yet the broken woman won’t testify. If Bradlee can settle the matter quietly, the board, avoiding further embarrassment, will be pleased. But Bradlee Aames doesn’t do things the easy way-not when a predator like Dr. Don is primed to debase more helpless women.Illusive LA is the gritty, sun-blasted setting for He Said, She Said, a thrilling story of trust, betrayal, truth, and deception. Told from multiple perspectives, it affords the reader a front-row seat to a tense legal battle while exploring the many human consequences of power and corruption.Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction-novels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more.

He Said/She Said: A Novel
by Erin Kelly"A tour de force – a gripping, twisting, furiously clever read that asks all the right questions, and keeps you guessing until the very end. I loved it." —Ruth Ware"Haunting. Mesmerizing. Unforgettable." — Gillian FlynnIn the summer of 1999, Kit and Laura travel to a festival in Cornwall to see a total eclipse of the sun. Kit is an eclipse chaser; Laura has never seen one before. Young and in love, they are certain this will be the first of many they’ll share. But in the hushed moments after the shadow passes, Laura interrupts a man and a woman. She knows that she saw something terrible. The man denies it. It is her word against his. The victim seems grateful. Months later, she turns up on their doorstep like a lonely stray. But as her gratitude takes a twisted turn, Laura begins to wonder—did she trust the wrong person? 15 years later, Kit and Laura married are living under new names and completely off the digital grid: no Facebook, only rudimentary cell phones, not in any directories. But as the truth catches up to them, they realize they can no longer keep the past in the past. From Erin Kelly, queen of the killer twist, He Said/She Said is a gripping tale of the lies we tell to save ourselves, the truths we cannot admit, and how far we will go to make others believe our side of the story.

He Sees You When You're Sleeping
by Mary Higgins Clark Carol Higgins ClarkMary Higgins Clark, America's Queen of Suspense, and her daughter, bestselling author Carol Higgins Clark, have followed the successful publication of last year's holiday bestseller Deck the Halls with a heartwarming tale that combines much of the charm of the classic movie It's a Wonderful Life with unexpected menace.Meet Sterling Brooks. His was not an exemplary life—he was too self-absorbed to ever really think about anyone else or make a commitment to the woman he loved. On the other hand, he had endearing qualities. His actual misdeeds were few—his were sins of omission, not commission. It is a few days before Christmas. For forty-six years Sterling has lingered in the celestial waiting room outside the heavenly gates, awaiting summons by the Heavenly Council. Will he be deemed fit for entrance into heaven? At last the day comes and the council settles on a test for Sterling—he will be sent back to earth and given an opportunity to prove his worthiness by helping someone else. Sterling Brooks finds himself in Manhattan, at the skating rink in Rockefeller Center. Among the skaters is a heartbroken seven-year-old named Marissa, and as Sterling soon realizes, it is she he has been sent to help. Marissa's sadness comes from her separation from the father she adores, a talented young singer, and her sparkling grandmother, owner of a popular restaurant. Both have been forced into the Witness Protection Program because two mobsters, the Badgett brothers, have put a price on their heads to prevent their testifying against them in an arson case. Sterling, able to move back and forth in time and place, masterminds a plan to eliminate the threat from the Badgett brothers and reunite Marissa with her loved ones. Filled with suspense and humor, He Sees You When You're Sleeping is a perfect story for the holidays, a delightful and warm-hearted tale of perseverance, redemption, and love.

He Who Fears The Wolf (The Inspector Sejer Mysteries #2)
by Karin FossumAn “impressive” and “gripping” Scandinavian mystery from an author who “succeeds in evoking sympathy for all her characters . . . [in a] fair-play whodunit” (Publishers Weekly).Inspector Sejer is hard at work again, investigating the brutal murder of a woman who lived alone in the middle of the woods. The chief suspect is another loner, a schizophrenic recently escaped from a mental institution. The only witness is a twelve-year-old boy, overweight, obsessed with archery, and a resident at a home for delinquents. When a demented man robs a nearby bank and accidentally takes the suspect hostage, the three misfits are drawn into an uneasy alliance.Shrewdly, patiently, as is his way, Inspector Sejer confronts a case where the strangeness of the crime is matched only by the strangeness of the criminals, and where small-town prejudices warp every piece of information he tries to collect. Fossum once again provides extraordinary insight into marginalized lives and richly evokes the atmosphere she captured so brilliantly in Don’t Look Back.Praise for Karin Fossum:“A superb writer of psychological suspense.” —New York Times“Sejer is a beautifully created character, a thoughtful, lonely man with great empathy.” —Publishers Weekly“With sharp psychological insight and a fine grasp on police procedure, Fossum is easily one of the best new imports the genre has to offer.” —The Baltimore Sun“A truly great writer and explorer of the human mind.” —Jo Nesbo, New York Times bestselling author of the Harry Hole series“Fossum . . . writes like Ruth Rendell with the gloves off.” —Kirkus Reviews

He Who Waits (A Garth Ryland Mystery #13)
by John R. Riggs[from inside flaps] "Garth Ryland, editor of the Oakalla (Wisconsin) Reporter, arrives at the Old Baldwin Place just as the fire he had dragged himself out of bed for is extinguished. Only it wasn't the house that was ablaze. It was a burning cross. Garth, as puzzled as everyone else, then helps Stevey La Fountaine carry the cross home. As they set it down in the yard, Stevey tells Garth, "It's come home at last." This is the allegorical opening to He Who Waits, the twelfth installment in John Riggs's acclaimed Garth Ryland mystery series. His most literary and politically charged work to date, He Who Waits brings home the suspense that Garth fans anticipate and resounds with the flavor of smalltown America that is a Riggs trademark. When Stevey, the son of an African-American, turns up dead shortly thereafter, the hunt for answers is on. Stevey spent most of his time alone at the Corner Bar and Grill. Who would want him dead? Why would anyone burn a cross at the Old Baldwin Place, now the property of Senator Jonathan Springer? How does all this tie together? Compounding the general confusion is the new sheriff, Wayne Jacoby. He's a no-nonsense, take-charge veteran of the Gulf War, who wants to keep Garth as far from the case as possible, regardless of his investigative skills and knack for mystery-solving. Garth's investigations lead him to various members of the La Fountaine family, including Stevey's mother, who has Alzheimer's.There is a family fight over whether or not to institutionalize her. When she disappears during a blizzard, Garth is led on a chase through the woods around Oakalla in search of her and some answers." Garth Ryland owns and runs a weekly newspaper for Oakalla Wisconsin, the hometown he loves and protects with or without the sheriff's blessing.

He Who Whispers (British Library Crime Classics)
