Spycraft and the Lash Scott Sowers
Spycraft and the Lash is written as a slightly twisted mystery-thriller with a dash of romance thrown in. Government worker Rex Armstrong plays the lead as a man with an unchallenging job, a troublesome ex-wife, and a taste for BDSM. Rex is also attracted to Lucy Wright, a normie who lives in the same apartment building. His after work interests come to the attention of a mysterious federal agent who calls himself Wellborn. Wellborn is interested in recruiting Rex for his special set of skills and connections to the fetish community. Written with multiple nods to the hard-bitten prose of Raymond Chandler, Spycraft spools out as a sexy, thrilling mystery.

The Tenth Caller Michael Bronte
He’d been the shock-jock extraordinaire, but it had been quite the fall. Blackballed and forgotten, he was doomed to the graveyard shift on a godforsaken AM station where the highest rated program was the tornado report.
At night, however, the mega-signal of the Midwest can be heard for a thousand miles, and in the wee hours the depressed and depraved gather on Gulliver’s broadcast doorstep to confide in his wisdom. Some call it a cult following; others call it a radio freak parade. Gulliver takes the tenth call, but the caller isn’t interested in the chicken dinner prize. He’s into murder, and the killing goes back decades. The questions are: who is he, and how is he always the tenth call?

Gloria Rank has lived her entire life in the dark. Blind since birth, she has made a name for herself as a respected talk radio show host in New Jersey. When her younger sister, Anna, has her identity stolen and a man is murdered outside her apartment, Anna becomes the prime suspect in an FBI investigation. But when bodies begin piling up around her, the FBI has to admit that she is being stalked by a murderer. 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

Sublet L.C. Kincaide
An apartment to die for!
Life hasn’t been kind to Julia lately, and receiving a Tarot card in the mail from a mysterious sender doesn’t help. In fact, her two friends have also received one and agree that the card could just as easily be a harbinger of good fortune rather than ill tidings.
Refusing to be spooked, she sets aside the forewarning, focusing instead on moving to the affordable apartment she sublet in a gorgeous brownstone in a trendy neighborhood.
But no sooner does Julia move in than strange things start happening, which she attributes to her active imagination — she’s an artist after all — or possibly her pain meds. It hasn’t yet occurred to her that it could be something sinister instead.
Time will tell, but time isn’t on her side.

Ecellent read, this is a book that stands out as something special. Great story, well plotted and unmissable,.
A thrilling revenge story. Looks awesome. Can't wait to get my paws on it!
Great premise, cool cover!
Good pace and well thought out. I love Glenn's writing style and the depth of his characters always keeps me interested. Great book !
Love the writing style, the 'voice' that sounds so clear its like he's sitting next to my bed reading to me. Check out his website; it's cool without being in any way contrived. Great cover designs, too. This writer is 'one to watch', as they say. Not all short story writers try their hands at novel writing - Carver didn't - but I can't help feeling that if Glenn doesn't it would constitute a crime in its own right. For now, though, let this little gem wet your appetite!

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.

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.

Nothing like a thriller when the plan falls apart and the heroes have to wing it! Makes it all the harder for the reader to guess what is going to happen...
Fast and enjoyable.
beautiful cover :)
I felt like I was on Mars, the real Mars, and felt the desperation that isolated settlers will experience. Great read
Big screen material! This talented author brings the reader into a new world where adventure awaits at every turn. The descriptions are well though out, the characters pop off of the page. Don't miss this one!
Monticelli's original Italian has been translated to English for her Red Desert series, giving a charming flavor to the prose. 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.

In the Silence M.R. Mackenzie
Anna Scavolini hasn’t set foot in Glasgow for ten years – and she’s not short of reasons…
On her first night back in town, what should have been the start of a relaxing Christmas getaway takes a decidedly macabre turn when she stumbles upon an old flame, Andrew Foley, bleeding to death on the snow-clad slopes of Kelvingrove Park.
Who killed Foley in such a brutal manner – and why? If the police have any leads, they’re keeping them under wraps. Convinced that Foley was deliberately targeted rather than the victim of a random attack, Anna begins her own investigation, and in so doing unearths a trail of long-buried secrets, leading back to a crime committed over a decade ago.
A crime so unspeakable its perpetrators are prepared to take their silence to the grave.

Love the premise of this book. And an excellent cover! I plan to download and read it as soon as it's available!
M. R Mackenzie is a talented writer. Can't wait for more work from this author.
Anna hasn't been to Glasgow for ten years, and on her first time back she stumbles on an old boyfriend bleeding to death. Heartbroken, Anna decides to investigate his death and unearths a trail of secrets that goes back a decade. The crime is so horrific that anyone who tries to solve the mystery will be in a great deal of danger. A fantastic fast paced caper that kept me turning the pages throughout. Highly recommended.
This engrossing, suspense-filled mystery kept me reading nonstop, not only for the twisting, fast-paced story but also for the unique dialogue and fascinating milieu of contemporary Scotland. A real page-turner. Highly recommended.
