Bestselling author Lisa Scottoline takes us deep into her imaginative—and fun!—mind with this month’s Behavioral Analysis Unit column, David Baldacci shares insight into why he thinks publishing’s royalty system is flawed, and Neil Nyren checks in with Sascha Rothchild about her highly anticipated new book, BLOOD SUGAR. Plus, we get up close with Carter Wilson, Annie Ward, Heather Graham, Kate Quinn, James Rollins, and many more authors of thriller, mystery, and suspense novels. Spring has sprung—and with it a thrilling crop of new releases. Read about them all in the April issue of The Big Thrill—live now!
