    White Lies by Jeremy Bates

    A great debut novel!

    Rand Arbutten, an attorney, has many reasons to hate his father. His hatred is so strong that when his mother commits suicide, Rand cannot believe his father, Sheriff Cord Arbutten, did not really kill his mother. And Rand vows to prove it. When it’s discovered that Rand’s mother was killed with the Sheriff’s old service revolver, and that Rand’s parents were in the middle of a nasty divorce, the pieces seem to fall into place to support Rand’s case. Meanwhile, his father is asked to step down from being sheriff and risks losing everything, including his freedom. Lovers of “LIVE Ringer,” the first book in Lynda Fitzgerald’s “LIVE” series, will not be disappointed by "LIVE Ammo" filled with quirky characters, suspense, a Florida atmosphere, and a peeling away of layers to reveal the secrets of human nature.

    Midnight Alley by Miles Corwin

    The 2nd Book in the Ash Levine series.

    Eric Caine, War on Terror veteran, finds himself wandering the streets of Miami after a car accident that leaves him robbed of his memories. Alone and suffering from PTSD, Eric is on a one-way road to self-destruction until a chance meeting in a bar presents an opportunity for him to begin anew. That opportunity is a new job that relocates him to his homeland of Venezuela. At first, things go well with his new job, but soon his life takes an ominous turn when a catastrophic event threatens the country’s stability. Author Henry Mosquera created a non-stop action thriller filled with layer after layer of conflict that keeps the book moving at breakneck speed; along the way, readers will enjoy plenty of romance, deception, intrigue, fascinating characters, and numerous international thrills. As a native of Venezuela, Mosquera does not settle for typical Latin American stereotypes but “gets it right” in terms of depicting his homeland. "Sleeper’s Run" represents the international crime thriller at its finest.

    It is June of 1976 when Atticus Gunner pulls up in front of West High School, parks in a visitor parking space, and walks into the building ready to begin his foray into school administration as the new assistant principal. He has no idea that in just a few hours, his life will change forever. Gunner, a former member of a top-secret operations unit, soon finds that his unique experience of identifying and hunting down escaped Nazis suspected of war atrocities is once again in high demand. After an anonymous philanthropic organization makes him a job offer he cannot refuse, he and his two young daughters very shortly find themselves on a thirty-two-foot sloop headed for an island in northern Lake Michigan. Directed to head a school of only one hundred students, it is not long before Gunner realizes he has embarked on a dangerous adventure. "The Moonhawker," by author George A. Fox, is a thriller filled with unexpected twists and turns as one man is inadvertently propelled on an unforgettable journey through intrigue, romance, and murder.

    Mercenary Jack Vane returns in "Red, White, and Dead Again," by author Jeffrey A. Friedberg, and activates his wildly diverse Banzai team to recover designs for an ultimate nuclear device stolen from New Mexico A-bomb headquarters in 1945. The bomb is more powerful than the A-bomb and hydrogen bomb combined. In fact it is so powerful it had to be suppressed before it "blew holes in the sky." But the plans had vanished along with the two young secret agents dispatched to steal them. Now, 66 years later, Jack is hired at gunpoint to deliver the goods, and become wealthy--or die for his failure. As if not enough--he finds himself twisted up in a love story--a majestic saga of lost passion and devotion that defies time and Destiny. On this dangerous quest across a blistering New Mexico desert landscape of deceit and terror, Jack is pursued by the FBI, by government splinter groups, by international cabals, and by one sinister Overlord who rules them all....

    After a man dressed in a long priest’s robe and a black, low-crowned, wide-brimmed ecclesiastical hat walked into a Catholic church just prior to the start of a funeral service, stuffed garlic into the deceased’s mouth, and pumped a bullet into the corpse, Detective Louis Martelli finds himself pursuing what may be his most puzzling case. Even more mystifying is the coroner’s report that the deceased, far from having died of respiratory failure and a possible heart attack, had been injected with a lethal dose of Philippine Cobra venom. "Lilith: Demon of the Night," by author Theodore Jerome Cohen, is filled with plenty of surprises that are sure to hook all readers!
