The Boy from the Woods

David and Cheryl Burroughs are living the dream - married, a beautiful house in the suburbs, a three year old son named Matthew - when tragedy strikes one night in the worst possible way. 
 
David awakes to find himself covered in blood, but not his own - his son's. And while he knows he did not murder his son, the overwhelming evidence against him puts him behind bars indefinitely. 
 
Five years into his imprisonment, Cheryl's sister arrives - and drops a bombshell. 
 
She's come with a photograph that a friend took on vacation at a theme park. The boy in the background seems familiar - and even though David realizes it can't be, he knows it is. 
 
It's Matthew, and he's still alive. 
 
David plans a harrowing escape from prison, determined to do what seems impossible - save his son, clear his own name, and discover the real story of what happened that devastating night.

I Will Find You

____________________________ 
From the #1 bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix series The Stranger, Gone For Good and The Innocent comes a riveting new thriller, starring the new hero Windsor Horne Lockwood III - or Win, as he is known to his (few) friends ... 
____________________________ 
Over twenty years ago, heiress Patricia Lockwood was abducted during a robbery of her family's estate, then locked inside an isolated cabin for months. Patricia escaped, but so did her captors, and the items stolen from her family were never recovered. 
 
Until now. 
 
On New York's Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment, alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the authorities have a lead not only on Patricia's kidnapping but also on another FBI cold case - with the suitcase and painting both pointing them towards one man. 
 
Windsor Horne Lockwood III - or Win as his few friends call him - doesn't know how his suitcase and his family's stolen painting ended up in this dead man's apartment. But he's interested - especially when the FBI tell him that the man who kidnapped his cousin was also behind an act of domestic terrorism, and that he may still be at large. 
 
The two cases have baffled the FBI for decades. But Win has three things the FBI does not:: a personal connection to the case, a large fortune, and his own unique brand of justice ...

He is known simply as Wilde, the boy from the woods. 
 
He has grown up knowing nothing of his family, and even less about his own identity. 
 
Until now. 
 
When a match on a DNA database puts him on the trail of a close relative - the only family member he has ever known - Wilde thinks he might be about to solve the mystery of who he really is. 
 
Only this relation disappears as quickly as he's resurfaced. Undaunted, Wilde continues his research, becoming caught up in a secret community committed to exposing anonymous online trolls. 
 
Then one by one, people start to die, and it soon becomes clear that a serial killer is targeting this secret community. 
 
And that the next victim could be Wilde himself . . .

The Match

Secrets can kill. But will the truth set him free? 
 
Fifteen years ago, Detective Nap Dumas' twin brother was found dead on the railway tracks near his home. 
 
Most people concluded it was a tragic suicide. Nap did not. 
 
Now, after years of searching for answers, he believes he may have finally found what he's been looking for. 
 
But Nap is a cop who plays by his own rules. 
 
And when the past comes back to haunt him, he discovers secrets can kill . . .
