For the first time ever, bestselling novelists Jonathan and Faye Kellermen team up to deliver the launch book in a thrilling new series of short crime novels. This book--printed as a reversible volume with two different covers--contains two stories featuring different detectives solving crimes in different cities.
It’s a reader’s dream come true: a new series co-written by the royal couple of crime fiction—Jonathan and Faye Kellerman! Each book contains two novels jointly written by the duo, featuring different detectives solving crimes in different cities. “In the Land of the Giants” has Boston homicide detectives Michael MacCain and Doris Sylvestor investigating the suspicious death of a college basketball star. And in “Still Life,” the co-worker of a Santa Fe art gallery is murdered, forcing detectives Darryl Two Moons and Steve Katz to put aside holiday celebrations and set things right.

"One set in Boston, one is set in Santa Fe. I liked the latter better. The Boston one is about basketball, and just sort of...stopped, rather than ending. The Santa Fe story is about the art scene, and was just a better story. Better reader too, much more consistent in his voices."

“Those who admire risk, take note: two authors at the top of their game have done something quite new. Those who fear change, take heart: the results are just fine.”
— Publishers Weekly“Sure to appeal to new readers as well as established fans, the stories are complementary but distinctly separate and without crossover characters.”
— Library Journal“Oh-so-refreshingly readable.”
— Kirkus Reviews" Two mysteries written each by a wife & husband combo. "
— Clifford, 1/29/2014" More about the detectives and less about the actual mystery. "
— Kshydog, 1/27/2014" Individually I love these authors but as a joint venture this one just didnt really get going for for me. Maybe a case of going into it with high expectations "
— Yorky, 1/24/2014" This would have been rated higher if Jonathan's wife would have had no part in it. "
— Jon, 1/17/2014" Felt more like two quickly-finished stories than a book with two good sides. Still, the 'flip-me-upside-down' was pretty cool. "
— Christina, 1/7/2014" This book contains two short stories about murder mysteries. One taking place in Boston and another in New Mexico. Not much of a plot to either mystery. Easy to read, but not much character development or plot. "
— Jeff, 1/7/2014" Can I give two ratings since it was two separate stories? I enjoyed the short story which took place in Boston but felt the one that took place in Santa Fe fell flat. "
— Maria, 1/3/2014" Two good, short detective stories. "
— Eric, 12/8/2013" with Faye Kellerman "
— Denise, 11/20/2013" I expected a joint effort murder mystery, what I got was two separate books with one cover. Very disappointed. "
— Shelli, 11/3/2013" I liked the characters. And I loved having a book (or half one technically) that I could read in a couple of hours. "
