Three heart-pounding novels by the New York Times–bestselling author: “The best thriller writer on the planet” (Booklist).

This volume include three novels filled with twists and turns from the author of such acclaimed suspense novels as White Bone and The Red Room:

Probable Cause: Carmel, California is a peaceful tourist haven where James Dewitt is the police force’s only detective. His usual caseload is stolen bicycles and the occasional burglary—but things are about to change with frightening speed.

“A natural storyteller . . .He keeps the thread going, twisting the details . . .dancing the forensic shuffle without missing a step.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch

Blood of the Albatross: An innocent Seattle sailor is pulled into a dangerous web of espionage in this “enthralling” novel (The San Diego Union-Tribune).

“Pearson skillfully spins this thriller with sense-of-place, breakneck pace, and economically drawn, believable characters.” —Library Journal

Never Look Back: A Soviet agent has entered the United States—carrying a terrifying weapon—in this “breakneck-action” Cold War adventure (Kirkus Reviews).
