This week it's my first turn for "On the ROOB Radar" and I had to think long and hard about which books I'm looking forward to I wanted to mention here. First I wanted to show some books that are on my list in the near future..June/July 2010 releases in different genres but when I started looking through my list. Hmm should I say list? It's more like a partial list on the computer, an enormous amount of random post-it notes on my desk with titles scribbled on them and a folder in my email inbox with forwarded tweets with release annnouncements by various authors. But let's call it a list to keep it simple. As said when I started looking through it I noticed quite some romantic suspense titles on it and as it is one of my favorite genres I want to share some of them I'm really looking forward to.

Summary:
ELAINA MCCORD WANTS TO FIND A KILLER.
BUT HE’S ALREADY FOUND HER.

Elaina McCord’s dream of being an FBI profiler is in danger with her first case—investigating a string of murders near a Texas beach resort. The victims, all young women, were drugged and brutally murdered, their bodies abandoned in desolate marshland. Elaina’s hunch—met with disbelief by local police—is that these are only the latest offerings from a serial killer who has been perfecting his art for years, growing bolder and more cunning with each strike.

True-crime writer Troy Stockton has a reputation as an irresistible playboy who gets his story at any cost. He’s the last person Elaina should trust, let alone be attracted to. But right now Troy, along with the elite team of forensics experts known as the Tracers, are her only allies in a case that’s turning dangerously personal. A killer is reaching out to Elaina, taunting her, letting her know how ruthless he is and how close he’s getting. Now it’s not just her career that’s in danger—it’s her life. . . .
