A bold, international thriller about truth, power, and vengeance — from bestselling author Lynn Hightower.
Junie Lagarde is a citizen journalist with nothing to lose. When most of her team is murdered in a newsroom attack, she and her hearing service dog Leo survive—and go after the billionaire who ordered it.
From a small town in the French Alps to the chaos of the Kentucky Derby, Junie plunges into a dangerous conspiracy involving a shadowy secret society called the Emerald Vipers. But she’s not here to ask permission. She’s here to make the truth loud enough to be heard.
Perfect for fans of fast-paced political thrillers, female-led investigations, and morally gray power plays. Spies in Plain Sight is a standalone novel featuring Junie Lagarde, following The Beautiful Risk.
The Beautiful Risk
Grief meets grit in a story of love, revenge, and unrelenting courage.
“Gripping, suspenseful read” —Booklist
“Dark and swiftly moving, both a thriller and an examination of how deep a connection can be.” —Kirkus Reviews
Before she hunted billionaires, Junie was just looking to uncover the truth behind her husband’s mysterious death.
The Beautiful Risk is a story of the collateral damage of grief, the adrenaline of revenge; it’s the story of corruption and greed, of ecoterrorism. Above all, it is a romantic thriller, a love story, a tale of courage and of mending a broken heart.
It’s the story of a woman who will stop at nothing to uncover the truth. Because when you don’t care if you live or die . . . you are always the most dangerous person in the room.

“Sensitive characterizations match the imaginative plot. Readers will compulsively turn the pages to see how it all ends” — Publishers Weekly Starred Review
Have you ever known anyone who survived being possessed? You do now. You’ve met me.
That night, late in the OR, exhausted after hours on my feet, topped off with a late night emergency surgery . . .I felt the presence. I stopped for a moment, then, wisely, I ignored it. Wisely, I looked away.
It was the small moments, just like this one, that changed a life. When the crossroad comes, you do not recognize it. You do not know it until afterward, looking back. But this is when it began. Again
The Hunting Dark
Inspired by True Events.
- Top 500 in Amazon Paperback Presales for Ghost Thrillers.
In the Amish countryside of Kentucky, there is a house. Everyone knows about it. They whisper about the things that happen there. Creepy things. Terrible things. It would be better if they shouted: Run.
Two months ago, fragile mother of two Pammie LaRue moved in with her beloved partner Conor. They ignored the knocks on the walls. Whispering voices. Water pooling, with no obvious leak.
Eight days ago, Conor went missing, without a trace. Unless you count the drag marks in the crawl space under the house . . .
