98 New Mystery Books That'll Have You on the Edge of Your Seat

In "Saving Emma," Allen Eskens ups the stakes of a public defender's new case when his own goddaughter gets involved in his work. Boady Sanden has been caring for his goddaughter, Emma, ever since her father and his best friend, Ben, was murdered years ago. It comes as a surprise to him when his new case for the Innocence Project, a man who claims to be a prophet, has ties to Ben and is eerily tied to his gruesome murder. When Emma suddenly disappears, Boady rushes to find his goddaughter, solve the case, and put an end to age-old questions about his best friend's death.
