A Dangerous Year by Kes Trester, New on the Mystery Bookshelf during September 2017

New on the Mystery Bookshelf during September 2017 …

A Dangerous Year by Kes Trester, A Riley Collins Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Curiosity Quills Press

  

As the daughter of an American ambassador, seventeen-year-old Riley Collins has grown up in some of the world's most dangerous cities.

She may have learned the art of politics from her dad, but it's the lessons in survival taught by his security chief that she's taken to heart.

When Riley is caught up in a violent incident, the State Department steps in, offering an all-expense paid senior year at Harrington Academy, one of the most elite boarding schools in Connecticut. The catch: she must use her tactical skills to keep her eye on heiress Hayden Frasier, the daughter of a tech billionaire intent on changing the world.

Immersed in American materialism and social media for the first time, it's culture shock for Riley. Hayden resents her new roommate, and Riley learns nothing is ever private when there's a cellphone around. She discovers allies in Von Alder, the cute class flirt; Sam Hudson, whose status as Hayden's ex-boyfriend puts him on the forbidden list; and Captain Grace Taylor, Harrington's tough new head of security, and the only one who knows Riley's true purpose at Harrington.

Disturbing signs begin to appear that Riley's assignment wasn't the walk in the park she'd been promised. She learns the death of Hayden's former roommate might not have been an accident after all, and she spars with classmate Quinn, whose attempts at social sabotage causes Riley to take drastic measures.

As Riley's relationship with Hayden thaws into her first opportunity at true friendship, the danger around her roommate heats up. Riley must fight for her life and Hayden's — and the security of a nation — as those around her reveal themselves to be true friends, or the ultimate betrayers.

Wagging through the Snow by Laurien Berenson, New in Bookstores during September 2017

Today's featured new hardcover mystery, suspense, or thriller title scheduled to be published during September 2017 is …

Wagging through the Snow by Laurien Berenson, a Melanie Travis Mystery (21st in series)

Publisher: Kensington

 

Melanie Travis needs a little peace from her busy life this Christmas. But the usual holiday hubbub is a joy compared to the killer surprise she finds tucked underneath the tree …

With a demanding teaching job at Connecticut's elite Howard Academy and five poodles scampering around the house, Melanie barely has energy for the upcoming Christmas rush. But she unwraps an unexpected challenge when her brother and ex-husband, elated by the recent success of their country café, make a spontaneous bid on a dilapidated pine tree farm. Although the ten-acre lot had been a popular seasonal destination while the original owner was still alive, it'll take some sprucing up — and a small miracle or two — before the neglected place is in shape for December.

Unfortunately, the impromptu business venture goes cold when the group discovers a purebred Maltese whimpering in the snow-covered grove — right beside a dead body. Pete, a squatter who camped out on the land, apparently met his end after a fallen fir tree branch knocked him on the head. But as Melanie and Aunt Peg investigate Pete's history and the terrible habit that cost him everything, it's clear his death was no accident. Now, Melanie must run through a flurry of likely suspects and muzzle a dogged murderer in time — or she'll be next on someone's deadly list.

Such a Pretty Girl by Tess Diamond, A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: Avon

  

An FBI profiler becomes a killer's deadly obsession …

In Grace Sinclair's bestselling crime novels, the good guys win and the bad guys always get caught. As the FBI's top profiler, she knows that real life is rarely so straightforward. But her new case isn't just brutal — it's also personal. The victims look like Grace. And the FBI recruit assigned to her team is trouble of another kind.

This isn't how Special Agent Gavin Walker imagined running into Grace again. Two years ago they shared one earth-shattering night, then she vanished from his life. She's brilliant, fiercely independent, and in mortal danger from a killer masterminding a twisted game …

The body count is rising. Entangled in the case and in each other, Gavin and Grace are running out of time and chances. And as Grace puts the pieces together, she knows she'll have to confront her own deepest secrets before the final, fatal move is played.
