Stripper! A Natalie McMasters Novel Tom Burns
Natalie McMasters is twenty, short and blonde (OK, it’s bleached!), way cute, and a pre-law student at State. She's also straight, or at least she thinks so. When her new best friend is brutally murdered and Amos is critically injured, Nattie immerses herself in the seamy world of web cams and strip clubs to hunt the killer. Her investigation forces her to reassess many of the ideas that she’s lived by her whole life and do things she’s never considered before – strip on a stage, question her sexuality, and rediscover the meaning of love itself.
Nattie eventually exposes a drug ring, police corruption, and an assassin-for-hire online. Then she stumbles upon the true face of evil, and her encounter does not leave her unscathed…

The Desiderata Stone Nick Aaron
Daisy Hayes was a blind sculptress, invited to the Vatican Museums in 1964 to study archaeological artifacts by touch. In AD 64 a blind masseuse working at the baths in Rome overheard some important men plotting to set fire to the city and seize power. She decided to leave a message revealing the plot and did everything she could to save her hide. So, 1900 years later, Daisy uncovered a mysterious message from antiquity: the Desiderata stone.
I love the 1964 blind heroine crossing paths with a blind woman from ancient Rome, who has left a message 1900 years earlier. Two strong, brave women trying to do the right thing and stay alive, plus ancient Rome and political intrigues there, plus a mysterious message to decipher -- how could this fail as a recipe for fun, enthralling reading. Thank you, Nick Aaron, for writing The Desiderata Stone.
Nick Aaron's "D is for Daisy" starts with a compelling write-up--a blind woman is the only one on the trail of a murderer. A fascinating way to touch off a WWII thriller--a promising premise for a page-turner!
This sounds very intriguing!

MURDER IN MOSCOW: THE OBLAST COURT TRIAL
A handyman shoots and kills teenager stealing apples from his orchard in 1958.
He says it was an accident. Convicted, he’d normally get three years in prison.
He’s charged with murder from ‘base motives” with “evil intent.”
That charge carries 10 years.
But the judge has another punishment in mind.
What’s going on here? That’s a moral, not a legal charge.
Is it an over-zealous judge or a Kremlin-ordered Stalinist show trial?
Does the prosecutor want to get a career victory?
Is it jurisprudential collusion or madness?
The accused could get the death penalty in this deadly game.

Her characters are 3d, and her hard sci-fi setting is researched impeccably. Novella-length book one, "Point of no return," serves as an introduction, constructing the hooks that power future volumes and ramping up the tension and mystery.

Couldn't put this story and ended up reading it far into the night. The day to day running of care facilities is interesting with the fascinating characters weaved into the story. Not just a good thriller, but touching, too.
I am really enjoying this book. As I read, the scene plays in my mind which makes it hard to put down. The story has gripped me for sure.

D for Daisy Nick Aaron
During World War II a Lancaster landed at its base in England after bombing Berlin, and a member of the crew was carried off dead. His young wife Daisy soon found out that he had been murdered. But she was only a woman, blonde and pretty, and blind since birth: so who was going to listen to her? In the mayhem of the bombing campaign, who even cared? She would have to find the murderer on her own.
I love the 1964 blind heroine crossing paths with a blind woman from ancient Rome, who has left a message 1900 years earlier. Two strong, brave women trying to do the right thing and stay alive, plus ancient Rome and political intrigues there, plus a mysterious message to decipher -- how could this fail as a recipe for fun, enthralling reading. Thank you, Nick Aaron, for writing The Desiderata Stone.
Nick Aaron's "D is for Daisy" starts with a compelling write-up--a blind woman is the only one on the trail of a murderer. A fascinating way to touch off a WWII thriller--a promising premise for a page-turner!
This sounds very intriguing!
