Fearing he may be in danger, Andi sets out to investigate. Her search for answers leads her to the head scientist at Nutrexo’s confidential research facility, where she learns that the truth is more complicated—and more devastating—than she ever could have imagined.

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.

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!

The Bones of Louverture - First Three Chapters William G. Herbert
The year is 1987. After generations of turmoil and the overthrow of its latest dictator, Haiti is in crisis. A street
activist, Sonny, leads a vigilante mob that prowls the streets of the old port city of Jérémie. Throughout the
country, similar vengeful groups seek retribution against anyone or anything associated with the former dictator. Their primary targets are voodoo and the dictator’s secret police.
Sonny serves as a role model to twelve-year-old Jacques Maurice. The youngster is hardened as he sees that
despite a few new freedoms, most Haitians remain trapped in poverty and shackled by voodoo. He begins
selling drugs.

Walnut Street: Phantom Rider (Book 3 in The Botanic Hill Detectives Mysteries series) Sherrill Joseph
Objects of value have been disappearing from the Mayfield family’s rural California horse ranch. The Botanic Hill Detectives—Moki Kalani, Rani Kumar, and twins Lanny and Lexi Wyatt—are hired to come for a week to investigate.
Legend has it somewhere on the Mayfields’ forty-acre property is a long-lost gold mine, supposedly staked by thirteen-year-old Ben Mayfield’s fifth great-grandfather, “Papa” Mayfield, in 1875.
Adding excitement, a nervous Ben reveals a frightening secret to the detectives. At the ranch, he alone has seen a threatening black-clad figure on horseback whom he calls the Phantom Rider. Who is this mysterious person? Is he the thief? Where is the lost gold mine? What’s happening in the nearby, snake-infested ghost town of Rainbow Flats? The detectives aim to find out.
