The Other Side of Dark
EDGAR AWARD WINNER
Stacy wakes up in a room that's not hers, in a body she doesn't recognize, to discover she's been in a coma for four years. Her mother is dead--murdered--and Stacy, recovering from a gunshot wound, is the only eyewitness. But the killer is not about to let her reveal his identity....
"The compelling premise...and Nixon's mastery of suspense are gripping." -Publishers Weekly
"Tense and dramatic...[The Other Side of Dark has a] quick pace, and the determined protagonist should attract and hold readers." -School Library Journal
The Name of the Game Was Murder
EDGAR AWARD WINNER
Samantha is shocked when she meets her great-uncle, the famous novelist Augustus Trevor. He's a mean-spirited man who has just invited--blackmailed--a group of celebrities to come to his island mansion and participate in a "game." But when Augustus is found murdered, it's up to Samantha to join the game--and win.
"Another successful page-turner." -School Library Journal
