The Alibi by Sandra Brown
A Novel of Suspense
Publisher: Grand Central
Hammond Cross hails from a wealthy Charleston family, but he eschews his heritage and the advantages it affords, even going far as to choose public service over a more lucrative career in criminal defense. He's ambitious, and has his sights set on higher offices, but his goals aren't strictly politically motivated. He's also an aggressive prosecutor out to win for all the right reasons. He believes in what he's doing and devotes himself to bringing criminals to justice.
Until …
He unwittingly becomes the alibi of an accused murderer.
The captivating and elusive woman with whom he had spent an overnight getaway — a meeting he mistook as happenstance — becomes the prime suspect in the most important criminal case Hammond's career. If he prosecutes it successfully, he'll inherit the top position from the retiring County Solicitor. If he doesn't, he'll have many people to answer to … not the least of which is himself.
To admit his own culpability is self-destructive. To fail is unthinkable. To win is to sacrifice the woman he's come to love.

The Crush by Sandra Brown
A Novel of Suspense
Publisher: Grand Central
As a surgeon, Dr. Rennie Newton is the consummate professional. When she's summoned to jury duty, she brings to the courtroom the same level of competence and composure that she displays in the operating room. It is this commitment to precision that compels her to deliver a not guilty verdict in the murder case against notorious contract killer Ricky Lozada. It will be the most regrettable decision of her life … because Rennie's trial with Lozada doesn't end with his acquittal.
Her carefully structured life begins to crumble when a rival colleague is brutally slain. Lozada's menacing shadow looms over the murder, but it's Rennie the investigators focus on as the prime suspect. The privacy she has cultivated and protected at all costs is violated by the police as well as Lozada. And when he begins an earnest courtship, insinuating himself into every aspect of her life, it becomes terrifyingly clear that he is obsessed with having her.
Wick Threadgill is a detective on indefinite leave from the Fort Worth PD, who has his own personal agenda for the contract killer. Temperamental, bitter, and driven by loyalty and love, Wick is determined to destroy Lozada … as determined as Lozada is to possess Rennie Newton.
In order to defeat Lozada — and save their lives — Rennie and Wick form an uneasy alliance. Mistrustful of each other, they know only one thing with absolute certainty — like one of Lozada's prize scorpions, when this killer strikes, they won't see it coming.

The Switch by Sandra Brown
A Novel of Suspense
Publisher: Grand Central
Gillian and Melina Lloyd are identical, almost interchangeable, twins. Both are successful businesswomen. Both are single. But in one regard there is a dissimilarity: They share the same impulses, but Melina acted on them. She plunged headfirst off the high diving board. Gillian would stand with her toes curled over the end of it until dared to dive in.
Another difference between them is that Gillian wants a child. Feeling her biological clock ticking, she opts to undergo artificial insemination using donor sperm.
Christopher "Chief" Hart is the first Native American astronaut, NASA's poster boy, a national figure. In Dallas to collect an award, Chief's media escort is Melina Lloyd. Or is it?
Chief's life first collides, then becomes intertwined with that of the twins. A seemingly harmless prank results in disaster. And what appears at first to be an open-and-shut murder investigation, ultimately leads to a compound in the mountains of New Mexico where a madman is engineering his "new world order". If he's only partially successful, the consequences would be catastrophic and global in scope.
