Publisher's summary
In the midst of substantial personal loss and scandal, six-foot-six Gunsten Søren Pedersen, the Detroit Tigers’ worshipped, veteran fence-swinger, walked away from his career and sport that he loved. Retiring to the tranquil solitude of Minnesota’s North Woods, disgraced, Gun left behind disappointed fans and searing press coverage. But a millionaire real estate investor is out to tear up Gun’s new turf. Loon Country Attractions, to be built on Gun’s piece of paradise, comes replete with an amusement park, convention center, and shopping super-center—with vast environmental degradation to boot. The townsfolk are divided, and Gun is further pulled into the center of the chaos when his daughter becomes pawn in a political campaign that’s turned ugly. Gun seizes the opportunity for redemption, fighting for everything that he holds dear. Fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Craig Johnson's Longmire, and Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon, enjoy the Engers' Gun Pedersen.
***PRAISE FOR THE GUN PEDERSEN SERIES***
COMEBACK:
“A well-written, fast-reading thriller. . . . It’s got everything.”
—Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine

—Garrison Keillor
SWING:
“Solidly entertaining.”
—ALA Booklist
“In Swing, the plot twists as unpredictably as a hangman’s rope. Swing has muscle (and heart, too).”
—Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine
“[A] sure hit.”
—R.D. Zimmerman, author of Deadfall in Berlin
STRIKE:
“Compelling.”
—Publishers Weekly
SACRIFICE:
“Sacrifice is the best novel I’ve read this year. Not just the best mystery, but the best novel, period.”

“[A] revelation . . .”

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.
