Beyond the Cover is hosted by John Raab and Jeff Ayers. Tonights show we have a very special guest coming in the second half of the show, but first we are very excited to bring on Cate Holahan.

Cate Holahan "Dark Turns": 

When young New York City ballerina Nia Washington is sidelined by a broken heart and a bruised Achilles tendon, she escapes to an easy teaching gig at a posh upstate boarding school to heal. 

But when she discovers the body of a murdered student, she also discovers the dark side of this beautiful lakeside campus.

Drawn into a dangerous cat-and-mouse game with a ruthless killer,

Nia must use her street-smarts to protect her dancers, save a wrongfully accused pupil, rescue the man she loves, and identify the murderer before she becomes the next victim. 

It’s a fight to the finale—one dark turn at a time.

Michael Burge: "Bryant's Gap":

In 1947 postwar Chicago, mob related violence is commonplace. Nothing stands in the way of the "Outfit" when it comes to making money; a body here or there, who really cares as long as everyone's pockets are lined, but when a man is found dead in a small Illinois town—people take notice. Bargetown's Chief of Police Bert Thatcher looks to a seasoned and astute railroad detective, Grady Colston, for help in solving the case. Fate has brought them together, but they soon realize just how much they have in common. A tight bond develops between the two men as they strive to uncover the identity of the man found dead on the railroad tracks—his right arm severed. As the investigation unfolds, surprising details of the man's past come to light, and the circumstances of his death pose a major dilemma for Grady and Bert.

Simon Toyne "The Searcher":

The author of the acclaimed Sanctus trilogy conjures an eerie epic of good and evil, retribution and redemption—the first novel in the mesmerizing Solomon Creed series in which a man with no memory of his past must save a lost soul in a small Arizona town.

On a hilltop in the town of Redemption, Arizona, the townspeople gather at an old cemetery for the first time in decades to bury a local man. The somber occasion is suddenly disrupted by a thunderous explosion in the distant desert. A plane has crashed, and it's pouring a pillar of black smoke into the air.

As Sheriff Garth Morgan speeds toward the crash, he nearly hits a tall, pale man running down the road, with no shoes on his feet and no memory of who he is or how he got there. The only clues to his identity are a label in his handmade suit jacket and a book that's been inscribed to him: both giving the name Solomon Creed.
