"You stop one and they'll send another … and another. If you get in their way, they will out-man you, out-gun you. Arrest them, kill them, they don't care, so long as they accomplish their ends. And right now, they're looking for me!"

Someone is killing off a group of high-end call girls. The first victim, Aubrey O'Brien, was an informant working on a standard background check for Los Angeles private investigator Noah Chance. Her death is a personal loss for Chance and he vows to bring the guilty party to justice. Because of his unique relationship to the deceased, Chance is brought onto a police task force looking into the homicides. He uses the opportunity to mend his reputation within the law enforcement community.

But when the FBI gets involved, Chance is constantly frustrated by team conflicts and limitations while the killer moves about with impunity. Fed up with teamwork, Chance takes matters into his own hands, only to find that his second chance at redemption will be tested and his moral stance brought into question when the killer sets his sights on Chance's beloved partner, Vicky.

Enter Pale Death
Barbara Cleverly
A Joe Sandilands Mystery
Soho Crime (December 2014)

Publisher synopsis: One morning before dawn in the stables of her country estate, Lady Truelove meets a violent death in an encounter with a dangerous horse. Classified as "death by misadventure," this appears a gruesome accident. But Scotland Yard Detective Joe Sandilands suspects foul play — a misgiving he is struggling to separate from his personal grievances toward Sir James Truelove, who is Lady Truelove's widower and the influential academic patron of Dorcas Joliffe, whom Joe one day hopes to marry.

Joe enlists old friend and former constable Lily Wentworth to trail James, and finds an ally in a fellow police officer familiar with the Truelove estate. But as the investigation yields surprising secrets about one of England's most powerful families, Joe discovers how little he knows about not only the gilded lives of the moneyed, but also his relationship with Dorcas. Is Joe prepared to risk a future with the girl he loves to uncover the truth behind Lady Truelove's death?

New This Week: Worth Its Weight in Old, A Karen Maxwell Mystery by K. D. Hays

Omnimystery News is pleased to present a mystery, suspense, or thriller ebook that we recently found by sleuthing (as it were) through new or recently reissued titles from independent publishers during January 2015 and priced $4.99 or less …

Worth Its Weight in Old by K. D. Hays

Worth Its Weight in Old by K. D. Hays

A Karen Maxwell Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: K. D. Hays

Price: $1.99 (as of 01/28/2015 at 5:30 PM ET).

Worth Its Weight in Old by K. D. Hays, Amazon Kindle format

Originally published in 2008 by Heartsong Presents in paperback. This is its first appearance as an ebook.

Paintings slashed … Furniture broken … Someone is wreaking havoc at the Blue Moon Art & Antiques Gallery …

Fledgling private investigator Karen Maxwell goes undercover as a salesclerk to find out who's behind the vandalism, and why. She learns little from Vicki, a friendly clerk who seems interested only in rearranging pictures to display them — and her designer clothes and sports car — to maximum advantage. Eric, the shop's surly, tight-lipped porter, would run over her with a hand truck before he'd answer any questions. The guilt may even lay with the shop owners themselves, despite the fact that they're the ones who hired her.

Karen's investigation seems to be going nowhere — just like her once-promising relationship with Brian, the handsome blacksmith who could sweep her off her feet in a minute … if he'd ever take a break from working with the church youth group. Frustration mounts as her dreams of romantic evenings turn into endless rehearsals for the church Christmas play.

If Karen can't crack the case soon, she may find herself back to being the plain, old office manager, her dreams of a career as a private investigator — and a life with Brian — as old and busted as the Blue Moon's vandalized antiques.

Worth Its Weight in Old by K. D. Hays
