The fourth book in the FBI Profiler series from The Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Lisa Gardner. WOULD YOU BE SMART ENOUGH... For three years, Atlanta was held in the grip of terror. It happened four times - when the temperature in Atlanta soared to a scorching hundred degrees in the shade and tempers were frayed, two girls would go out to a bar never to seen alive again. The body of the first girl would hold the key to the survival of the second but, with the clock ticking, the killing hour always came round too quickly. Only when the final missing girl was found alive did the killing stop. Now, years later, the heat is rising on yet another scorching summer. And when trainee FBI agent Kimberly Quincy stumbles across the body of a young girl, furnished with clues to find a second, it appears that the killer is back and ready to play... Will Kimberley be able to find the girls before the madness starts all over again? WOULD YOU BE FAST ENOUGH TO SURVIVE?

The perfect husband
The Other Daughter
Silver Bay
Also centers a woman rebuilding after a traumatic past, but trades serial-killer tension for a slow-burn seaside romance and a hopeful ending.
The Girl You Left Behind
Keeps the dark threads of wartime violence and sexual coercion, yet frames them in a dual-timeline love story rather than a race-the-clock manhunt.
Landline
For readers wanting a break from serial-killer dread: same low heat, but warm marriage-repair story with a magic phone instead of a countdown to murder.
Attachments
Keeps the clean, no-explicit-content level of the seed while swapping forensic manhunts for a gentle office slow burn; far lighter and cozier.
