    They were wrong. On October 15th, humanity went missing. A handful of scattered survivors wake to find the world empty of friends, family, and neighbors. Among them, a child searches for his family. A special agent turned enemy of the state survives a fiery plane crash with no way to reach his daughter. A serial killer discovers he’s no longer at the top of the food chain. Now these strangers must find the strength inside them to weather the new world. But they are not alone.

Their only hope is to find more survivors, rise above their fear, and face the oncoming darkness.

    You would run too if you were forced to be married to the cruel mob boss, Luca Capuano. There are enemies all around her, so she escapes to the one place where she knows she’ll be safe: the small town of Redemption Creek, Montana. Grizzly bear shifter, Lachlan, is busy drinking himself into a coma when his old flame shows up in a wedding dress. There’s nothing he would like more than to marry the girl he’s been thinking of for years, but his crazy bear can’t be trusted around nice delicate things like Jessie. Lachlan desperately wants to protect Jessie from the men hunting her down, but who is going to protect her from the vicious animal he has lurking inside? Is Jessie running from one monster to another? The Grisly Grizzlies: Caleb The new lifeguard in town has a body that is making Caleb want to dive right in, and although he is definitely trying, he’s swimming in circles and getting nowhere. This hot bear shifter has never met a girl he can’t have until now. Abigail is too preoccupied to focus on dating. She’s new in town and busy hiding her younger brother who has a pesky habit of turning into a wild uncontrollable lion. As interesting as the hot muscular guy who keeps hitting on her may be, she can’t get into a relationship and risk exposing her brother’s secret. But when Abigail’s brother gets her evicted from their home, they have only one place they can go, and they’ll all have to find out if lions can play nice with grizzly bears. The Grisly Grizzlies: Kneecap Wild. Ferocious. Untamed. Vicious. And that’s just Kneecap in his human form. His savage grizzly bear on the other hand… watch out! Nothing and no one has been able to tame this half barbarian/half shifter in thirty years, but there’s a glimmer of hope when a curvy girl named Nora walks onto the ranch. Nora Marchesi has come to Montana to find her sister. What she didn’t come to find was a naked caveman stalking her through the forest, but that’s exactly what she gets. He has long hair to his shoulders, a long beard to his chest, and a long (you-know-what) to his knees. And for some reason, he seems to have a big crush on her. Redemption Creek’s most savage grizzly bear is in a constant battle with his human companion Kneecap. Will they be able to work together to charm the pretty girl who is running away from them screaming? And when old enemies come to visit, will Kneecap’s new civilized manner be enough to stop them? The Grisly Grizzlies: Tito & Ronin Tito and Ronin have always known they were destined to share a mate. Nothing is stronger than a bond between twin bear shifters. Well, except maybe a hot curvy veterinarian named Zoe. While in a two-year-long cold streak, Zoe gets propositioned by two gorgeous bear shifters. They may be into sharing, but Zoe is a one-man kind of woman and she’s not about to change that no matter how good looking these guys are. When they’re forced to go on separate dates, Tito and Ronin wage an epic battle full of sabotage and shenanigans in order to be the one that Zoe chooses. But after both dates go disastrously wrong, will Zoe even want either of them? And if she does, are Tito and Ronin prepared to give up on their destiny of a shared mate? The Grisly Grizzlies: Maximus Kennedy vowed never to return to Redemption Creek...

    John Branion was found guilty of murdering his wife in their posh Chicago home. After exhausting his appeals, he evaded authorities by fleeing to Africa. He was finally captured in 1983—but his case was far from over. It would take another seven years for Dr. Branion to finally win his freedom—and for those who prosecuted him to admit that he could not have committed the murder, and that they knew it all along.Acclaimed mystery writer Barbara D'Amato was drawn to this story two decades after the murder, as Dr. Branion languished in prison, ill and without hope. Her meticulous research repeatedly led her to one startling conclusion: that it was impossible for Donna Branion's murder to have unfolded the way the police alleged. In this award-winning account, D'Amato deftly explores the intriguing facts of this shocking case—from the tragic blunders made by authorities to Branion's arrest, conviction, and years practicing medicine in Africa as a fugitive from justice. The result is a damning indictment of our criminal system—and the vindication of an innocent man.The Doctor, The Murder, The Mystery by Barbara D'Amato won the Anthony and Agatha Awards for Best True Crime. She is also the author of the highly acclaimed Cat Marsala mysteries, including Hard Case and Hard Christmas. She lives in Chicago.The 1992 Anthony Award for Best True Crime and the 1993 Agatha Award for Nonfiction for The Doctor, the Murder, the Mystery
