READ-ALIKES FOR TITLE:
1.   The prophet  by Michael Koryta, Reason:  In these emotional, character-driven suspense novels, the older siblings of murdered teenage girls are compelled to investigate the long-ago murders, crimes for which they continue to feel responsible. Small-town settings add atmosphere. -- Shauna Griffin


READ-ALIKES FOR SERIES:
1.   Kitt Lundgrean thrillers  by Erica Spindler, Reason:  Tracy Crosswhite, a Seattle police detective, and Kitt Lundgrean, a Rockford, Illinois police detective, solve serial murders and cold cases in these plot-driven suspense stories. Personalities clash, conspiracies are revealed, and sometimes violence ensues before the killers are caught. -- Mike Nilsson
2.   J. P. Beaumont mysteries by Judith A.. Jance, Reason:  Both set in Seattle, these grueling suspense novels star savvy police detectives who refuse to give up on a case. Whether chasing a serial killer or solving a crime of passion, these detectives know their way around the city. -- Mike Nilsson
3.   Detective Inspector Geraldine Steel novels  by Leigh Russell, Reason:  Though working in very different places -- Tracy Crosswhite is police detective in Seattle and Geraldine Steel is a police detective in London -- these resolute investigators are each compassionate and complex, perfect for these twisty, suspenseful crime novels. -- Mike Nilsson
4.   Detective Sonora Blair novels  by Lynn S. Hightower, Reason:  The female police detectives in Cincinnati (Sonora Blair) and Seattle (Tracy Crosswhite) routinely place themselves in grave danger while hunting twisted killers. Marked by crisp dialogue and twisting plots, both series are as suspenseful as they are compelling. -- Mike Nilsson
