Book Description
Thirty years ago, Baby Charlotte vanished. Today, she's still in danger. When Dr Sloan Hastings submits her DNA to an online genealogy site as part of a research assignment for a fellowship in forensic pathology, her life is thrown into turmoil. Sloan's DNA profile suggests her true identity is that of Charlotte Margolis, aka 'Baby Charlotte', whose case captured the nation when she mysteriously disappeared along with her parents in 1995. Despite an exhaustive search, the family was never seen again and no suspects were named in the case. Sloan's discovery leads her to the site of her disappearance and to the Margolis family. Though initially welcoming, the family is also mysterious and tight-lipped. Not everyone seems happy about Sloan’s return, or the questions she’s asking.

Book Description
In The Good Cop, Brad Parks is back with all the humor, charm, and human insight his readers have come to expect, and more. As long as Newark Eagle-Examiner reporter Carter Ross turns in his stories on deadline, no one bats an eye if he doesn't wander into the newsroom until 10 or 11 in the morning. So it's an unpleasant surprise when he's awakened at 8:38 a.m. by a phone call from his boss, telling him a local policeman was killed and to get the story. Shaking himself awake, Carter heads off to interview the cop's widow. And then he gets another call: the story's off, the cop committed suicide. But Carter can't understand why a man with a job he loved, a beautiful wife, and plans to take his adorable children to Disney World would suddenly kill himself. And when Carter's attempts to learn more are repeatedly blocked, it's clear someone knows more than he's saying about the cop's death. The question is, who? And what does he have to hide? Carter, with his usual single-minded devotion to a good story—and to the memory of a Newark policeman—will do whatever it takes to uncover the truth.
