KILL SWITCH
Neal Baer and Jonathan Greene
Neal Baer and Jonathan Greene, the creative executive production
team behind the Emmy Award-winning and record-setting series
Law & Order: SVU and ER, bring their signature mix of breakneck
suspense, vivid characters, and riveting forensic detail to their
debut thriller, which is sure to keep readers turning the pages to
the final shocking conclusion.
laire Waters is a dedicated forensic psychiatrist with unnervingly personal insights into the criminal mind. Haunted by a disturbing
childhood incident, Claire has always been drawn to those rare “untreatable” patients who seem to have no conscience or fear. But
one shocking case could make or break her career—and it’s waiting for her in the psychiatric wing of New York City’s Rikers Island.
C
Quimby is a deranged inmate whose boyish good looks hide a sordid history of dysfunction and abuse, and he triggers something in Claire
she’d rather not face. As she tries to unlock Quimby’s past, she leaves herself dangerously vulnerable. When the case propels her into the
mind of another killer—a homicidal maniac who’s watching her every move—it could only end in madness, or murder, or both…
Brilliantly constructed and breathtakingly suspenseful, Kill Switch is a masterful combination of murder, mystery, and modern forensics—
and a stunning debut from a spectacular writing team.
Neal Baer was executive producer and showrunner of the NBC television series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. During his 11-year
tenure, the series had received numerous Emmys, the Golden Globe, the People’s Choice, the Edgar, and other awards. Previously, he was

achievements, Dr. Baer earned a medical degree from Harvard Medical School. Neal Baer lives with his family in Los Angeles and New
York City.
Jonathan Greene spent eleven years as writer and co-executive producer on NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and his nearly
forty teleplays earned the show an Emmy Award and nominations for the Edgar Award and the Humanitas Prize. Previously, he was a
producer and executive in television news and documentaries, and is a recipient of the DuPont-Columbia Award. He is presently a writer
and co-executive producer on the new CBS series A Gifted Man. A native of New York, Mr. Greene currently lives with his family in Los
Angeles and New York City.

DON’T LET ME GO
J.H. Trumble
From a remarkable new talent—a witty, beautifully written novel that is
both a sweet story of love and long-distance relationships, and a timely
discourse about bullying, bigotry, and hate in high schools.
ome people spend their whole lives looking for the right partner. Nate Schaper found
his in high school. In the eight months since their cautious flirting became a real,
heart-pounding relationship, Nate and Adam have been inseparable. Even when local kids
take their homophobia to brutal levels, Nate is undaunted. He and Adam are rock solid.
Two parts of a whole. Yin and yang.

school controversy, drawing ire and support in equal amounts. But it’s the attention
of a new boy who is looking for more than guidance that forces him to confront who and
what he really wants…

HELPLESS
Daniel Palmer
Daniel Palmer’s debut Delirious was heralded as “smart,” “nicely convoluted,” and
“fiendishly clever” by both critics and thriller writers alike. Now Palmer cements his
reputation as a “writer to watch” with his newest, where an award-winning coach’s
ordered world is suspended by shocking accusations.
ine years after he left Shilo, New Hampshire, former Navy Seal Tom Hawkins has returned to raise his teenage daughter, Jill, following
the murder of his ex-wife, Kelly. Despite Tom’s efforts to stay close to Jill by coaching her high school soccer team, Kelly’s bitterness
fractured their relationship. But life in Shilo is gradually shaping up into something approaching normal.
N
Normal doesn’t last long. Shilo’s police sergeant makes it clear that Tom is his chief suspect in Kelly’s death. Then an anonymous blog post
alleges that Coach Hawkins is sleeping with one of his players. Internet rumors escalate, and incriminating evidence surfaces on Tom’s own
computer and cell phone.
To prove his innocence, Tom must unravel a tangle of lies about his past. For deep amid the secrets he’s been keeping—from a troubled tour
of duty to the reason for his ex-wife’s death—is the truth that someone will gladly kill to protect…
