Kristen Lepionka

“A remarkably accomplished debut mystery, with sensitive character development and a heart-stopping denouement.” —Booklist, starred review

Nobody knows what happened to Sarah Cook. The beautiful blonde teenager disappeared fifteen years ago, the same night her parents were brutally murdered in their suburban Ohio home. Her boyfriend Brad Stockton—black and from the wrong side of the tracks—was convicted of the murders and is now on death row. Though he’s maintained his innocence all along, the clock is running out. His execution is only weeks away when his sister insists she spied Sarah at an area gas station. Willing to try anything, she hires PI Roxane Weary to look into the case.

Brad might be in a bad way, but private investigator Roxane Weary isn’t doing so hot herself. Still reeling from the recent death of her cop father in the line of duty, her main way of dealing with her grief has been working as little and drinking as much as possible. But Roxane finds herself drawn in to the story of Sarah’s vanishing act, especially when she links the disappearance to one of her father’s unsolved murder cases involving another teen girl.

The stakes get higher as Roxane discovers that the two girls may not be the only beautiful blonde teenagers who’ve turned up missing or dead. As her investigation gets darker and darker, Roxane will have to risk everything to find the truth.

“Lepionka has created an appealing, relatable lead.” —Publishers Weekly

“Confidently portrays complex characters with multiple, sometimes contradictory, motivations.” —Kirkus Reviews

Roxane Weary

The Last Place You Look: A Mystery

“Brimming with surprises and a mystery that’s both stealthy and menacing,” a thriller featuring a female PI trying to exonerate her brother of a crime (Alex Segura, Anthony Award–winning author of Dangerous Ends and Blackout).

A late-night phone call is never good news, especially when you’re Roxane Weary. This one is from her brother Andrew, whose evening was interrupted by an urgent visit from Addison, a hip young DJ and one-time fling, who turns up at his apartment scared and begging to use his phone. She leaves as quickly as she appeared, but now Andrew is worried—especially when Addison never makes it home and her friends and family demand to know where she is. As the police begin to suspect that something may have happened to her, and that Andrew is involved, Roxane tracks Addison’s digital footprint as she goes deeper and deeper into the events preceding her disappearance. Meanwhile, a cop is found dead on the opposite side of town, leading to a swirl of questions surrounding a dance club whose staff—which includes Addison—has suddenly gone AWOL. As Roxane struggles to distinguish the truth from the stories people tell about themselves online, it’s clear that the mystery of Addison’s whereabouts is just the beginning.

“Building to a chilling and surprising conclusion, the third book in Lepionka’s Shamus-Award–winning series is both intricately plotted and character-driven, with a complicated protagonist.” —Library Journal

“Lepionka’s keen eye for integrating national news and technology into her developing characters’ plotlines produces a story that’s timely in more ways than one.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Entertaining. Fans of plucky female detectives will look forward to Roxane’s further adventures.” —Publishers Weekly

The Stories You Tell: A Mystery

PI Roxanne Weary investigates a woman’s murder in a “wise, knowing, propulsive, and perfectly pitched” crime novel from “a major new talent” (Lee Child, #1 New York Times–bestselling author).

Marin Strasser has a secret. Her fiancé thinks her secret is that she’s having an affair, and he hires P.I. Roxane Weary to prove it. Then, just days into the case, Marin is shot to death on a side street in an apparent mugging. But soon enough the police begin to suspect Roxane’s client for Marin’s death, so she starts to dig deeper into Marin’s life—discovering that the elegant woman she’s been following has a past and a half, including two previous marriages, an adult son fresh out of prison, and a criminal record of her own. The trail leads to a crew of con artists, an ugly real estate scam that defrauds unsuspecting elderly homeowners out of their property, and the suspicious accident of a wealthy older woman who lives just down the street from where Marin was killed.

With Roxane’s client facing a murder indictment, the scammers hit close to home to force Roxane to drop the case, and it becomes clear that the stakes are as high as the secrets run deep.

“A great character, a vivid setting, a twisty, timely story that happens to be beautifully written. Kristen Lepionka and Roxane Weary are the best things to happen to the genre in years.” —Laura Lippman, New York Times–bestselling author of Prom Mom

“A fresh, smart, edgy update of the best in classic detective fiction.” — Alafair Burke, New York Times–bestselling author of The Wife
