I can't wait to read this. Even just the description makes me laugh!

The Spiders Web Alan P. Woodruff
Lucius White was lucky to be alive. Thirty years as a criminal defense attorney have taken their toll. His heart attack should have been a warning. And it had been — until state senator Clark Shepard was accused of murder. White knew representing Shepard was a mistake. Shepard was a friend. They were too close. White could not be objective. But when it became apparent that Shepard was being set up by his political opponents, White knew he didn’t have a choice. As White investigates the charges against Shepard, he is drawn into a world where political corruption rules, where the line between prosecutors and criminals blurs, and where no one can be trusted — not even the judge. A tangled web from which there is no escape.
I loved this book. Lots of tension, lots of mystery, great characters and humour throughout.
Compelling beginning to this conspiracy-theory plot focusing on the Middle East, Russia and the questionable role of various operators within the US government. Interesting likeable characters. Reads very authoritatively on all things military and security service related.

Fog shrouded Victorian London, but not the 1888 we’d recognise. There’s a whiff of revolution in the air, not to mention lycanthropy in the shires. As Mr Eiffel’s tower nears completion in Hyde Park, famed Egyptologist Sir Percy Tiverton returns with his latest find — a nameless book so mysterious not even the Royal College of Alchemists can decipher its runes.
Alexander Faversham is England’s foremost champion of derring-do, but his legend is built on sand. Loyal-to-a-fault manservant Bill might know more about his master’s heroics than either are letting on. When the nameless book is stolen, Bill’s entanglement threatens to bring his carefully constructed façade crashing down.
There’s something nasty lurking in the shadows and it wants its book back. Who would dare confront the tentacles slithering from the sewers? When the Empire needs a hero, it doesn’t always get the one it expects.

Kill the Quarterback Jim Stovall
When a star quarterback is killed before his senior year, hardboiled reporter Mitch Sawyer must battle personal and professional demons in order to track down a killer before he strikes again.
Mitch Sawyer likes a good murder. A good murder means his stories will probably land on the front page of the Nashville Daily Tribune. But this one is different. This one is Jimmy Chin Lee, brilliant quarterback at Vanderbilt University and possibly -- probably -- the next Heisman Trophy winner. But two weeks before the season is to begin, Lee is found dead in his west side apartment, victim of a gunshot wound.
No clues, one suspect -- but the police can't find her. She finds Mitch. After that, nothing goes right for anyone.

Jose Lopez has served twelve years of a life sentence for a murder he claims he didn’t commit. The evidence all seems to point to Lopez’s guilt, but criminal defense attorney Lucius White is sure there is more to the story than what appears in the trial record.
White succeeds in getting Lopez a new trial, but somebody still wants Lopez kept in prison – and is willing to kill to make sure it happens. Witnesses who are ready to testify for Lopez at his retrial are being murdered, and White himself has been threatened. But who is behind it all? Is it the real killer?
To find the truth, White ventures into the violent world of drug dealers and motorcycle gangs and ultimately faces off against the government in a life-or-death trial that tests all of his legal skills.

But in a society where creation is rebellion and artists are barely tolerated, their radical new technique draws the dangerous gaze of the ruling nobles.
Swept into a brutal game of power and politics, the sisters must navigate a court as treacherous as the breathing walls around them. As ambition warps loyalty and secrets fester beneath the skin of their world, they’ll face the ultimate cost of their craft—and each other.
A dark biopunk fantasy where every surface hungers and art itself is alive. For fans of China Miéville and Jeff VanderMeer, this story explores the price of creation in a world that devours both beauty and blood.

The Inverted Pyramid ahmad i. alkhalel
What if the real secret wasn't buried in darkness, but shining right before your eyes?
Hidden not by absence - but by a presence so overwhelming, you could no longer see it.
This isn't a novel that begins on the first page.
It begins at the first fracture in awareness.
And the moment you feel that fracture…
you've already begun.
Each chapter is a cipher.
And each cipher - a stone in an inverted pyramid,
revealing itself from the top down, not the bottom up.
"The Inverted Pyramid" is not just a journey through forgotten ruins,
but a bold attempt to reclaim stolen awareness,
and decode what was deliberately buried beneath layers of history, myth, and manufactured science.
It is not a map.
It is a living trace -
a silent call heard only by those who dare to listen.
And what begins here…
will not end here.

"Littlethumb Sneezed triumphs as both a fast-moving mystery and literary character study. Memphis writes with effortless dexterity and a lighthearted tone, imbuing the story with a subtlety that keeps the story both swift and fascinating. Add a devastating turn of fate as the penultimate twist, and Memphis hooks in the reader as the book barrels toward a tough but satisfying conclusion. A wonderful, entertaining novel with a deep understanding of what motivates humans to do what they do, for a thoroughly original work of literary fiction." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★

With the FBI focused in the wrong direction, it is up to Gloria to teach Anna to use her other senses--hearing, touch, taste, and smell--which she never really had to completely rely on before to help uncover a ring of identity thieves and stop the killer from taking her life, and perhaps Gloria's as well! Their only hope for survival is an experiment in perception that will unearth

Sons of Darkness Gail Z. Martin
When a series of disappearances, suicides, and vengeful spirits cause havoc and death along a remote interstate highway, demon-hunting ex-priest Travis Dominick teams up with former special ops soldier and monster-hunter Brent Lawson to end the problem with extreme prejudice.
She writes stories that you can't put down. A wonderful imagination coupled with a love of history.
You can't go wrong with a story set in the Chronicles of the Necromancer world! I love her characters and you get sucked in from the first chapter!
Gail Z Martin never disappoints. Her books are fast-paced, roiling adventures that leave you wanting more.
I recently had the pleasure of reading Gail Z. Martin's The Summoner, the first installment of the Chronicles of the Necromancer. I enjoyed it so much that I immediately grabbed Scourge, the first book in her Darkhurst series, off the shelf at my local bookstore. Now I have TWO new series to finish reading!
If you enjoy fantasy, give this a chance. Prepare to be entertained for hours by a gripping plot, compelling characters, and a unique world.
A great story for fans of epic fantasy.

The Boy Who Fell from the Past Truant D. Memphis
A passage. This story is a passage. A chapter from my earliest adventures. A moment in time recounting the first time I traveled through time…or something like that. I may have been dimension hopping. We’re still not certain. Anyway, I share this with you because it was also the first time (time, time, time…) I met Ezekiel and Jacob Trate, or any other member of the Trate family. I share this with you because it was the first time I met Frank. I share this with you because the whole deal was a portal full of fun (you’ll get this joke once you start reading).
Anyway, open up and come on in. Let me introduce you to these folks. Believe it or not, they’ve likely saved your life at some point. They definitely saved mine.
I hope you enjoy our story.
Your friend,
Truant

That title alone made me laugh. Can't wait to dive into this one!
Splendid book for fans of off-the-wall humor.
A crafty writer that knows how to surprise the reader yet supply them with a satisfying conclusion.
The first couple of lines got me hooked
Sounds Vonnegut-esque. As he's my favorite, I'm sure this'll be a blast.
