Murder List: A Novel (Buchanan-Renard). Few authors can weave nail-biting thrills, edge-of-your-seat drama, and romantic suspense as masterfully as Julie Garwood. In "Murder List," she ratchets up the tension with a chilling tale where evil is on the hunt, methodically organized, and disturbingly successful. Chicago detective Alec Buchanan is on the brink of a career-defining opportunity with the FBI, a chance to follow in his brothers' footsteps to the top echelons of law enforcement. However, before he can leave the Windy City, he must complete one last assignment: acting as a bodyguard to hotel heiress Regan Hamilton Madison. Regan has become embroiled in a potentially deadly situation after receiving a graphic crime-scene photo via email, featuring a victim she recognizes. The trouble began when Regan agreed to help a journalist friend expose Dr. Lawrence Shields, a shady self-help guru who preys on vulnerable women. Shields may be linked to the suspicious death of one of his followers, initially ruled a suicide. Seeking evidence, Regan attends one of Shields' seminars, where he conducts a "cleansing" exercise. Participants are asked to list people who have wronged them and consider if their world would be better without them. Regan, treating it as a game, participates but misses the conclusion when she steps out to take a call, narrowly escaping a threatening encounter in the parking lot. The seminar experience fades from memory until the first person on Regan's list is found dead. As more bodies surface, a harrowing dance of desire and death ensues. Brutal murders seem to shadow Regan's every move, and her growing attraction to Alec Buchanan may compromise her safety while awakening emotions she thought were long buried. As the danger escalates and a serial killer closes in, Regan must uncover who has turned her private revenge fantasies into a grisly reality.
