Book Description
When he was a child, they erased all record of him from the world. Now he’s returning the favor. Jim McPherson grew up with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth, but he gave it all up for the simple life of a police detective. He thought he’d get some distance from his former jet-set friends, but a serial killer is targeting that exact demographic, and he fears his parents might be on the list. Chelsea Sullivan thought Jim trusted her, but lately, he’s been building walls between them. And she thinks she’s discovered why — he’s ashamed she’s not his social equal, embarrassed to be with her when they meet with his peers. Her biggest case yet, and now she’s fighting him too. When a renowned psychiatrist tries to counsel them rather than offer assistance in the case, Chelsea and Jim uncover a secret society of powerful people involved in a litany of illegal activities. And if that isn’t bad enough, a rogue agent in their wake. With such widespread corruption, they don’t know where to turn or who to trust. How can two at-odds detectives stop one driven serial killer when even the most connected men in the city cower in his wake? Twice Upon A Lie is the second book in Nolon King's new Once Upon A Crime Trilogy. Start reading your favorite new series today!

Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia.

From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding… I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? M
