The brain rehearses loss before it arrives. Elise Maren is the first person to prove it.

In the quiet of a university library, a year after her father's death, neuroscience PhD student Elise Maren finds something nobody has documented before: a faint secondary pattern in the sleep data of grieving subjects. A rhythm by which the brain prepares for losses it has not yet suffered. A small, persistent architecture beneath the noise.

Her discovery brings her to SOMNA, an elite research firm where her mentor has quietly arranged a place for her, her supervisor calls her work career-defining, and the company's guarded CEO takes a particular interest in what she has found. The science is real. The breakthrough is hers. And the further she chases the pattern, the more certain she becomes that something in the building was waiting for it.

When her best friend Demi volunteers for a public sleep study, the careful surface of SOMNA begins to crack. Behind it is a project older than Elise's career, run by someone who knew exactly which questions she would ask, and exactly how to put her in front of them.

In Plain Sight is a literary thriller about grief, science, and an institutional lie hidden in plain sight for seventeen years - and the researcher finally close enough to read it.

Flesh and Blood: A Scarpetta Novel
<p>It's Dr. Kay Scarpetta's birthday, and she's about to head to Miami for a vacation with Benton Wesley, her FBI profiler husband, when she notices seven pennies on a wall behind their Cambridge house. Is this a kids' game? If so, why are all of the coins dated 1981 and so shiny they could be newly minted? Her cellphone rings, and Detective Pete Marino tells her there's been a homicide five minutes away. A high school music teacher has been shot with uncanny precision as he unloaded groceries from his car. No one has heard or seen a thing.</p><p>In this 22nd Scarpetta novel, the master forensic sleuth finds herself in the unsettling pursuit of a serial sniper who leaves no incriminating evidence except fragments of copper. The shots seem impossible, yet they are so perfect they cause instant death. The victims appear to have had nothing in common, and there is no pattern to indicate where the killer will strike next. First New Jersey, then Massachusetts, and then the murky depths off the coast of South Florida, where Scarpetta investigates a shipwreck, looking for answers that only she can discover and analyze. And it is there that she comes face to face with shocking evidence that implicates her techno genius niece, Lucy, Scarpetta's own flesh and blood.</p><p>Includes an exclusive excerpt from the riveting next novel in the Kay Scarpetta series, DEPRAVED HEART.</p>
