Ten Years Gone
From the USA Today bestselling author of Blade comes a propulsive, emotional thriller about a man whose homecoming from prison threatens long-buried secrets about a murder in a suburban enclave.
After a ten-year sentence for murder, Griffin Ford is finally free and ready to make peace. But within hours of his release, he escapes a harrowing abduction. Someone doesn’t want Griffin to come home. Forced into hiding, Griffin is now determined to uncover the truth that was buried a decade.
Back then, he had risked everything to cross the tracks between working-class Milltown and affluent Newfield to pursue his teen love, Clare Keaton. But after a wealthy suburbanite was murdered and the evidence began to point in his direction, Griffin did the unthinkable: He confessed to the brutal crime.
He told Clare to forget him. But she never did―not even with her wedding just days away. And now, on the day of his release, cryptic text messages cast doubt on everything she thought she knew about Griffin Ford.
Propelled by restless secrets and enduring love, Griffin and Clare race to make sense of their past. But whoever’s pulling the strings is determined to finish what they started.

About
Blade
From USA Today bestselling author—and former competitive skater—Wendy Walker comes a chilling psychological thriller set in the cutthroat world of elite figure skating.
Ana Robbins was an Olympic star in the making—until tragedy forced her to leave that world behind. At the age of sixteen, she gave up her dream and never looked back.
Fourteen years later, she’s a successful defense attorney, revered for her work with minors. But when her former coach turns up dead, Ana lands right back where it all began, and abruptly ended: The Palace, a world-renowned skating facility nestled high in the mountains of Colorado.
Ana returns to The Palace to defend the young skater accused of the brutal crime—Grace Montgomery. Despite her claims of innocence, all evidence points squarely at Grace’s guilt, and she’s days away from facing charges of first-degree murder.
But Ana’s investigation dredges up childhood memories of her own, triggering the fear that permeates this place where she once lived and trained far from home as an “orphan.” With a blizzard raging outside, and time running out for Grace, Ana is determined to uncover the truth—even if it means exposing her own secrets that she buried here long ago.

From the best-selling author of All Is Not Forgotten and Don’t Look for Me comes a sharp, compulsive thriller about a young woman who narrowly escapes a violent crime and the psychiatrist helping to recover her memory of the suspect.
ABOUT HOLD YOUR BREATH
Gabby Ashford has just survived an attempt on her life. Detectives have connected her story to two other cases in the area: Professional women drugged at a bar, brought to their homes, and drowned in their bathtubs. Gabby, who miraculously woke up in her own bathtub unharmed, could be the key to finding a serial killer on the loose – but she has no memory of the attack.
Gabby admits herself to a high-end rehabilitation center to recover, and to seek the help of a psychiatrist renowned for his work with memory recovery. As Dr. Forrester works with Gabby – interviewing not only her but her overbearing fiancée, her emotionally fragile brother, and the local detective working the case – questions about Gabby’s story, her past, and the ethics of memory recovery emerge.
Dr. Forrester, the central voice of Walker’s breakout debut All Is Not Forgotten, is a fascinating and deeply complicated character, barreling toward the truth of the case at hand while wrestling with the demons of his own past. Shocking and succinct, Hold Your Breath will have you on the edge of your seat from the first minute to the last. ... See MoreSee Less

Looks and sounds great, Wendy.
Honestly, this looks like the type of book that deserves a short Book Premiere Film. Have you ever thought about something like that?
