The Bad News Dads are a recreational baseball team in Los Angeles—a terrible one, made up of a bunch of 40-something dads, several of them of the stay-at-home variety. Tired of the constant grind of packing lunches and coordinating school pick-ups, the team’s catcher, Ben, is looking for some action. When a teammate’s wife dies tragically, Ben and his two closest friends decide that something fishy has happened, and they blithely take it upon themselves to solve what they’re sure is a murder. But can they fall down the dark rabbit hole of a murder investigation without ruining their home lives? Without ruining their friendships? And without getting killed themselves?

Adam Frost was born in Vancouver, Canada. He is a writer, actor, and director known for Castle (2009), Extreme Movie (2008) and Tribal (2020).

A high-end wedding on a private island off the coast of Seattle sounds like something out of a magazine. But for bestselling mystery author Kate Valentine, it’s more like a nightmare.

Why Kate agreed to attend her ex-fiancé’s wedding is its own enigma, but she’ll plaster on a fake smile for two nights, with the aid of free champagne, naturally. And because the groom happens to be her editor, she’ll try to finish a draft of her latest Loretta Starling mystery as a wedding gift.

When the bride is poisoned and Kate stumbles across a dead body, she finds herself in a real-life mystery that eerily echoes the plot of her latest novel. And the only person who seems willing to help Kate catch the killer is Jake Hawkins, aka: the Hostralian; aka: Kate’s biggest romantic regret.

As the wine flows and the weather threatens to hold every guest hostage, bitter resentments and long-held grudges surface amongst the colorful crowd. Anyone could be capable of murder, it seems. What would Loretta do? Unfortunately, Kate doesn’t have a clue.

Finley, Mya, River, and Eli were inseparable as kids, running wild on Alaska’s vast wide-open spaces. Then tragedy struck, and Finley moved to the lower 48. But now it’s Senior year, and Finley’s back in Anchorage. When Mya throws a house party on a snowy Valentine’s Day night, it’s supposed to be a chance for the friends to heal old wounds. But an encounter with a mysterious stranger quickly turns the evening into a nightmare.

As the group scrambles to cover up what they’ve done, the fault lines they’ve grown so good at ignoring begin to crack as the police investigate and the media hounds them. Are they the most vicious teens in America, or deeply misunderstood? Everyone wants to know—even the teens themselves.

Fast-paced and thrillingly tense, THE TRESPASSERS explores guilt, loyalty, and the complex nature of friendship.

Jennifer grew up in Alaska and now divides her time between Northern California and Middle Tennessee with her husband, kids, and more than her fair share of pets. THE TRESPASSERS is her 11th novel.
