Robert Crais is the author of “A Dangerous Man.” Joe Pike has just left the bank when he witnesses the teller, Izzy, who just waited on him abducted on her way to lunch. He chases the two men down and they are arrested. But after posting bail the abductors are murdered and Izzy disappears. Pike calls on his friend Elvis Cole to assist with the case. What he learns is a story involving corporate whistleblowing, huge amounts of cash, and a long line of lies.

Bestselling author William Kent Kruger’s latest novel is “This Tender Land.” The Lincoln Indian Training School on the banks of Minnesota’s Gilead River is a place where Native American Children are forcibly sent to be educated. It is also home to Odie O’Banion, who is constantly in trouble with the superintendent, and his brother Albert, the only two white children at the school. When Odie and Albert commit a terrible crime, they flee for their lives. They take with them their friend Mose, a mute Sioux boy, and a brokenhearted girl named Emmy. They steal a canoe and head for the Mississippi and place to call home.

“Someone We Know” is by Shari Lapena. In a quite suburb in upstate New York a teenager has been breaking into houses, learning secrets from their computers and sharing some of them, too.
