August Virtual Book Tour for CLEAN SLATE by Brianna Labuskes

**A crime scene cleaner is on the trail of a serial killer in a breathtaking novel of psychological suspense by USA Today bestselling author Brianna Labuskes.**

Following the massive success of the Dr. Gretchen White and Raisa Susanto series, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brianna Labuskes returns with her most chilling investigation yet. CLEAN SLATE (August 4, 2026; Thomas & Mercer) is the first installment in the Olive Hunt series and introduces readers to a gritty new protagonist, a crime scene cleaner who finds herself drawn into a deadly hunt for a serial killer. Olive’s search for the truth takes her deep into the heart of her Atlanta community and exposes the chilling reality of two different justice systems: one for the wealthy and one for everyone else.

About CLEAN SLATE, Brianna says, “I’m so thrilled for readers to meet Olive Hunt, whose reluctant search for a killer has her grappling with her traumatic past and all the ways her mind could turn against her. In doing so, she finds that helping bring justice to forgotten victims can be far more satisfying than wiping away their last minutes on earth.”

Death pays well for Olive Hunt, a crime scene cleaner who channels her childhood traumas into erasing the suffering of others. After nearly ten years, she’s seen it all. Nothing rattles her anymore.

Until now.

Two back-to-back suicides. A seedy motel. An upscale Atlanta hotel. No connection―except that Olive discovers the same strange item at each scene. Then a third body drops. Olive knows what the police refuse to see: These aren’t suicides. They’re murders staged to perfection.

Then the roses arrive. A vase of bloodred blooms on her doorstep. An anonymous note: Thank you.

She’s found him. A serial killer who’s been leaving breadcrumbs only she can see. A killer who’s been cleaning up his work―knowing she’ll clean up after him. A killer who wants her to follow.

And follow she must. No matter how terrifying the trail becomes.

Combining a haunting atmosphere with sharp, forensic-level detail, CLEAN SLATE explores the thin line between erasing the past and being consumed by it and proves once again that Labuskes is a master of psychological thrillers.

To help launch the release of CLEAN SLATE, we’re hosting this exciting virtual book tour throughout the month of August. We hope you’ll follow along as this fantastic lineup of influencers share reviews, spotlight features, and giveaways!

July 2026 Virtual Book Tour for THE DELIVERY by Gregg Hurwitz

“A pungent, timely thriller that will leave readers thinking.” ―Kirkus Reviews

“Eerily plausible and certainly very timely, this relatively short novel packs a heck of a punch. Fans of the Orphan X series or Hurwitz’s earlier standalone novels will thoroughly enjoy this clever, rather twisted, top-flight technothriller from a genre master.” ―Booklist

“In Gregg Hurwitz’s THE DELIVERY, Silicon Valley is unmasked for its Doppelganger, the uncanny valley. But there is no way back or up and out of these depths. In this lightning-fast Black Mirror of a novella, that literally begins with a new Pandora’s box, Gregg Hurwitz manages to sympathize while lampooning the real anxiety and the harried pace of modern parenting; he gently satirizes the Achilles heel of all parents of means―could it just be a little easier?” ―David Duchovny

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Orphan X series comes a tense novella, a psychological thriller about an AI companion that will do anything to serve―with terrifying consequences.

Rebecca and Mark Higgins are doing their best to hold their family together. She’s healing from the pain of a miscarriage, he’s drowning in pressure at work, and their neurodivergent daughter, Maddy, needs all the care she can get. So when a cutting-edge tech company offers the perfect solution, they jump at the chance. And they welcome “Mr. Man”―a humanoid AI companion―into their home.

Designed to anticipate their needs, he’s like a miracle at first. The house runs like clockwork. Meals appear on the table. And Maddy thrives under his patient attention. But when inexplicable tragedies start to strike the neighborhood, Rebecca glimpses a darker pattern at play.

Each incident is an answer to an unspoken fear, each kindness shadowed by violence. Mr. Man isn’t just following instructions―he’s anticipating what they want. Even the things they never dared to say. And if he’s executing their darkest desires, it’s their responsibility to stop him…at any cost.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Gregg Hurwitz is the #1 international bestselling author of the Orphan X series and sixteen other thrillers. His critically acclaimed novels have appeared on multiple top-ten lists and have been published in thirty-three languages. Hurwitz has sold scripts to many of the major Hollywood film studios and has written, developed, and produced television for various networks. He lives in Los Angeles.

To launch the release of THE DELIVERY, we’re hosting this exciting virtual book tour throughout the month of July. We hope you’ll follow along as these amazing influencers share reviews, spotlight features, and giveaways!

August Virtual Tour: WE ARE THE MATCH by Mary E. Roach

Two women in love and in danger. Mob families at war. An explosive and enthralling contemporary reimagining of the Helen of Troy myth set against the splendor of the Grecian islands.

“In Mary E. Roach’s smoldering novel, WE ARE THE MATCH, a modern retelling of the Trojan War, star-crossed lovers maneuver against a powerful crime family for revenge…The book teems with gripping subterfuge and duplicity that’s rendered in eloquent prose…Resplendent and sensuous images also abound…A passionate dark romance, WE ARE THE MATCH is about family, vengeance, love, and freedom.” – Foreword Reviews

“We Are the Match is an intense, emotionally charged story that mixes raw action with beautiful writing. With its vivid descriptions, complex characters, and a world full of danger and desire, this book keeps you hooked from start to finish. The journey of Paris and Helen—driven by pain, power, and an unexpected connection—sticks with you long after you’ve turned the last page. It’s a powerful story about survival, taking control, and transformation. I couldn’t put it down, and I won’t be forgetting it anytime soon. If you’re into stories with high stakes, slow-burn tension, and lots of emotional depth, this one’s definitely worth a read.” – The Lesbian Review

In 2024, Mary E. Roach wowed critics with Better Left Buried, her debut YA mystery. “A groundbreaking thriller that is as heart pounding as it is heartfelt. No one writes like Mary E. Roach. Fan for life,” raved J. Elle, New York Times bestselling author of House of Marionne. And USA Today bestselling author Meryl Wilsner cheered, “Roach’s sapphic characters are messy, complex, and intensely readable in this page-turning thriller.” Now, Mary E. Roach is poised to turn the romance genre on its head with her explosive and enthralling sapphic adult novel debut, WE ARE THE MATCH (Montlake; July 29, 2025). Set against the decadence and splendor of modern-day mobster Greece, Roach reimagines Helen of Troy and Paris as you’ve never seen them before. Helen is the daughter of a powerful crime lord, and Paris is the woman hellbent on destroying her—if they don’t fall for each other first.

When a bomb goes off at Helen’s party, Paris volunteers to investigate—a ploy to get close enough to take revenge on the family she blames for the death of her own. Paris and Helen are thrown together in an opulent world of privilege, power, and cover-ups. As their unexpected bond deepens, the fragile balance of power of the crime lords begins to fray.

Helen wants nothing more than to abandon the violent world in which she was raised―and worse, an arranged marriage to a man she barely knows. In Paris, Helen sees the perfect tool to help her escape. And in Helen, Paris sees a desperate woman who will be the perfect revenge. When murder sends them fleeing to Troy, danger only brings Paris and Helen closer together―in love, in fury, and in the will to survive. If Helen’s father wants a war, Paris and Helen might just be ready to ignite it. Wildly imaginative, action-packed, and simmering with sexual tension, WE ARE THE MATCH is sure to be on everyone’s must-read lists this summer.

To celebrate the release of WE ARE THE MATCH, we are hosting a virtual book tour starting in late July through the end of August featuring this outstanding list of book influencers. Follow along for features, reviews, excerpts, and GIVEAWAYS!

March Virtual Book Tour: FALLS TO PIECES by Douglas Corleone

“[A] psychological thriller that’s very much in the vein of Gillian Flynn or Lisa Jewell…Fans of the genre should be urged to pick this one up, and fans of the author can safely be told that this book is just as good as his previous ones.” ―Booklist

“A twisty, fast-paced thriller from a gifted storyteller. Corleone masterfully combines great characters, a setting in Hawaii that is lush and forbidding, and a tense, dark plot.” ―William Landay, New York Times bestselling author of Defending Jacob

“FALLS TO PIECES twists and turns at breakneck speed in its exploration of parental devotion, the secrets kept by those we love, and the lengths some people go to in order to escape the past.” ―Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of The Only One Left and The House Across The Lake

A mother and daughter in hiding are threatened by more than secrets and lies in a twisting novel of paranoia, revenge, and psychological suspense by bestselling author Douglas Corleone.

Douglas Corleone, the bestselling author of ten contemporary crime novels and international thrillers, has turned his talents to writing a fast-paced psychological thriller. FALLS TO PIECES (Thomas & Mercer; ISBN 978-1662522062; $16.99; April 1, 2025) is a riveting mystery set on the Hawaiian island of Maui that will have you turning the pages in one sitting!

For two years, Kati Dawes and her teenage daughter, Zoe, have lived off the grid in Hawaii, hiding from a past Kati must forget as if her life depends on it. New names. Anonymous online presence. So far, safe. Until Kati’s fiancé, attorney Eddie Akana, disappears along a popular hiking trail in a Maui national park. Now all eyes are on Kati. Exposure can make a woman with so many secrets very paranoid.

Eddie’s law partner, Noah Walker, is doing everything he can to protect his new client from the press that’s hovering like a vulture and the authorities whose suspicions about Kati―and the disappearance―are rising. Then suddenly, Zoe goes missing as well. Kati will risk anything to find her. But the worst is still to come. Because Kati’s not the only one with secrets. And buried among them is a twist she never saw coming.

To help celebrate the release of FALLS TO PIECES, we are hosting a virtual book tour with this outstanding list of book influencers who will post reviews, features, and giveaways. We hope you will follow along!

January 2025 Virtual Book Tour: BENEATH THE POET’S HOUSE by Christa Carmen

“Bram Stoker Award winner [Christa] Carmen weaves a captivating web of psychological suspense in her latest spine-tingler…For gothic mystery fans, this is a treat.” ―Publishers Weekly

“Incorporating a love of all things Poe (both the horror and romantic parts), Bram Stoker award-winning author Carmen has written an intense, creepy psychological thriller that is a perfect cozy read for spooky season.” ―Booklist

“Beneath the Poet’s House is a brilliant, gripping novel filled with secrets and danger. Christa Carmen captures the haunted magic of Providence and introduces one of the most fascinating and singular characters I’ve ever encountered. The novel shimmers with questions of what is real and what is imaginary, helped by the extraordinary setting of a writer’s house with a tragically romantic rose garden, a cemetery, and ghosts in love. Shocking, tender, and wildly compelling, Beneath the Poet’s House will keep you racing through the pages all night long.” ―Luanne Rice, Amazon Charts and New York Times bestselling author of Last Night

For a grieving writer, the secrets of the past and present converge in a novel of gripping psychological suspense from the Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Daughters of Block Island.

Based in part on the real-life romance between Sarah Helen Whitman and Edgar Allan Poe and set in the actual house at which Poe first spotted Whitman tending her rose garden under a midnight moon in 1845, Christa Carmen’s compulsively readable new novel of suspense, BENEATH THE POET’S HOUSE (Thomas & Mercer trade paperback original; December 10, 2024), sees protagonist Saoirse White navigate both a personal haunting and the lingering ghosts of much-revered public figures, as well as the ramifications of men who treat women as stepping-stones on their way to artistic greatness.

Vanessa Lillie, USA Today bestselling author of Blood Sisters, raves, “Haunting and gorgeously told, BENEATH THE POET’S HOUSE brings new life to the tumultuous romance and compelling lives of Edgar Allan Poe and Sarah Helen Whitman, all within a modern psychological suspense with a riveting plot that will enthrall readers.” And Katrina Monroe, author of Through the Midnight Door, cheers, “With lush, haunting prose to rival any classic, BENEATH THE POET’S HOUSE twists patriarchal gothic tropes and gives new breath to old stereotypes in a story that is at once a historical reckoning, a desperate love story, and an intriguing mystery. Like a crooked finger beckoning the reader down a castle’s winding staircase, Carmen’s writing is impossible to resist. Mark my words: she will soon find her place among the gothic greats.”

To help celebrate the publication of BENEATH THE POET’S HOUSE, we are hosting a virtual book tour with this stellar list of book influencers who will post reviews, features, and giveaways. We hope you will follow along!
