Throughout this electrifying series from “one of the best thriller writers in the business” (Associated Press), brilliant FBI profiler Pierce Quincy faces off against all manner of serial killers and psychopaths alongside his partner, Rainie Conner, and his daughter, Kimberly Quincy. Now this edge-of-your-seat eBook bundle assembles all six of the superb novels featuring Lisa Gardner’s extraordinary protagonist: THE PERFECT HUSBAND THE THIRD VICTIM THE NEXT ACCIDENT THE KILLING HOUR GONE SAY GOODBYE A convicted murderer escapes from a maximum security prison—to go after the wife who put him behind bars. A maniac who kills for sport hides in the shadows, even as a boy confesses to his horrific crimes. A predator torments his victims with unspeakably intimate acts of violence. A butcher leaves two bodies each time he strikes, with the first containing clues that lead to the second. A madman pursues money, power, and celebrity by adopting the alias of a notorious killer. A sadist hunts the streets for vulnerable girls—and makes their nightmares come alive. These are just a few of the souls that haunt Lisa Gardner’s riveting series. But all these criminals have one thing in common: They are no match for Pierce Quincy. Praise for Lisa Gardner and her Pierce Quincy novels “Lisa Gardner always delivers heart-stopping suspense.”—Harlan Coben “An unforgettably evil villain and a throat-gripping climax make The Perfect Husband a real page-turner!”—Tess Gerritsen “Riveting, hold-your-breath suspense!”—Iris Johansen, on The Third Victim “A suspense-laden, twist-filled tale that easily equals the best of Sue Grafton and Kathy Reichs.”—The Providence Journal, on The Next Accident “Gardner keeps us guessing. . . . She also keeps us on edge.”—Los Angeles Times, on The Killing Hour “As usual, Gardner delivers the thrills.”—The Orlando Sentinel, on Gone “Just when you thought Lisa Gardner couldn’t get any better . . . she does. Say Goodbye is a stunning, chilling, up-all-night thriller that will leave you shaken.”—Lee Child

The Survivors Club
Same author's police-procedural chill and survivors turning the tables on a predator; ensemble mystery rather than one woman hunted by her husband.
The next accident
Same FBI profiler series and predator-hunts-family setup, minus the romance thread and with grief over a dead child driving it instead of revenge.
Tourist Season
Keeps the killers and revenge streak but flips tone entirely: explicit spice, banter, enemies-to-lovers, and a guaranteed happy ending.
Never never
Another suspense-driven puzzle where a couple's survival depends on uncovering a hidden past, but far lighter on violence and centered on romance.
Losing the Field
Keeps the revenge thread and emotional scars from cruelty, but trades serial killers for small-town teen romance and a hopeful ending.
Dowlands' mill
Also a woman sensing menace behind a charming man, but slower, quieter historical gothic with restrained violence and no on-page heat.
