The Inquisitor's Key by Jefferson Bass

A Body Farm Mystery (7th in series)

Publisher: William Morrow

Price: $1.99 (as of 07/01/2016 at 7:00 PM ET).

  

Miranda Lovelady, Dr. Bill Brockton's protégé, is spending the summer helping excavate a newly discovered chamber beneath the spectacular Palace of the Popes in Avignon, France. There she discovers a stone chest inscribed with a stunning claim: inside lie the bones of none other than Jesus of Nazareth. Faced with a case of unimaginable proportions, Miranda summons Brockton for help proving or refuting the claim. Both scientists are skeptical — after all, fake relics abounded during the Middle Ages — but evidence for authenticity looks strong initially, and soon grows stronger.

Brockton and Miranda link the bones to the haunting image on the Shroud of Turin, revered by millions as the burial cloth of Christ, and then a laboratory test finds the bones to be two thousand years old. The finding triggers a deadly tug-of-war between the anthropologists, the Vatican, and a deadly zealot who hopes to use the bones to bring about the Second Coming — and trigger the end of time.

The Kat Makris Greek Mafia Box Set by Alex A. King

Books 1-3

Publisher: Citizen A Press

Price: $5.99 (as of 07/01/2016 at 6:30 PM ET).

  

Daughter. Bill collector. Frequent couch potato. Law-abiding (mostly) American citizen. Unwitting heir to Greece's largest criminal organization …

DISORGANIZED CRIME: Kat Makris was a little girl when her father spun wild and outrageous bedtime stories about Baboulas, the Greek boogeyman, a lawless creature with a penchant for stealing gold and clashing with the gods.

Now Kat is twenty-eight, single, a couch potato in a cube farm, when her father goes missing. Without him, she's alone in the world. Before the police can work their mojo, she herself is abducted by a couple of hoods with crooked noses, and she quickly discovers her father's old stories were true — true crime, that is. Baboulas is an infamous mob boss in Greece, and Baboulas is the one who has Kat holed up in a private plane bound for Greece.

Now, to find her father, Kat must face the boogeyman …

TRUEISH CRIME: With her father still missing, and no news or ransom demands, Kat Makris is sweating under the blistering Greek sun. But when her grandmother receives a mysterious puzzle box from one of the Family's most questionable allies, Kat's not even remotely prepared for the worst.

Kat's quest to find her father takes her from the vertigo-inducing heights of Meteora to Greece's pebbled beaches, with a growing number of assassins on her tail. Kat's presence in Greece means times are a-changing, and Grandma's enemies hate change — unless it turns a tidy profit. The last thing they want is an unknown quantity shoehorned into Grandma's tattered, black slippers.

As an all-round decent person, one without a rap sheet, it's not what Kat wants, either. But Grandma has plans …

DOING CRIME: With Grandma's second best henchman and his wife tagging along, Kat Makris is back in Portland to untangle some of her kidnapped father's secrets. However, she gets sidetracked when she discovers her house is one corpse less empty than it was when she left. To complicate things, a pair of American cops are snooping around, asking questions about her missing father and a fellow detective they can't seem to locate …

When it becomes apparent that her father's secrets extend beyond the small safe in the bathroom wall, Kat races back to Greece, where she discovers the sexy, and very-very-bad-for-her, Detective Nikos Melas has been involved in a deadly stakeout. And Grandma has a new/old enemy who wouldn't mind getting cozy with Kat, especially now that Grandma's reign is growing shorter by the day.

It's a long, hot Greek summer and the bodies are stacking up … and exploding. Everyone on the dark side wants Kat to play on their team. Kat's just trying to find her dad. What's a mostly decent woman to do, and what are these green bits in Grandma's cookies?

The psychic hones in on Leah instead, hinting at a string of gruesome killings and insisting that she intervene to prevent more deaths.

When you go looking for trouble, you never know how much you'll find. Sure enough, the psychic's scant clues lead Leah to a cold case from six years ago, when a young woman was found shot to death, her eyelids sewn shut. As Leah digs deeper into old files, a second unsolved case surfaces with the same grisly pattern. While her shrewd young son, Abe, observes from the sidelines, Leah races to prevent another horrific murder, unaware of just how deep the roots of evil can go.

Scarred by war, former Navy Seabee Tom Sexton vows to leave his violent past behind, only to be drawn back into that life when a deadly conspiracy forces him to face an agonizing choice no man should ever have to make …

Five years after his life was saved in Afghanistan by Marine Force Recon Leader Charlie Cahill, Tom lives a bleak, nomadic existence, haunted by the debt he can never repay. Salvation appears in Stella — a woman as damaged, and resourceful, as he. But when a coded distress call from his former CO leads him to a shadowy NSA operative, Tom is recruited for a "black op" to bring back the now-rogue man who saved his life.

As he searches for Cahill, Tom quickly uncovers a much larger web of treason and betrayal that calls his entire world into question — and forces him into the ultimate no-win scenario.

Kate has spent much of her life searching for the truth behind her little sister's disappearance. Now, a manhunt for a killer who's kept a collection of victims prisoner for years without detection becomes her final chance to either mourn Vanessa's death — or save her life.

A Rosato & DiNunzio Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: St. Martin's Press

Kindle Daily Deal Price: $1.99

Mary DiNunzio has just been promoted to partner and is about to take on her most unusual case yet, brought to the firm by a thirteen-year-old genius with a penchant for beekeeping. Allegra Gardner's sister Fiona was murdered six years ago, and it seemed like an open-and-shut case: the accused, Lonnie Stall, was seen fleeing the scene; his blood was on Fiona and her blood was on him; most damningly, Lonnie Stall pleaded guilty. But Allegra believes Lonnie is innocent and has been wrongly imprisoned.

The Gardner family is one of the most powerful in the country and Allegra's parents don't believe in reopening the case, so taking it on is risky. But the Rosato & Associates firm can never resist an underdog. Was justice really served all those years ago? It will take a team of unstoppable female lawyers, plus one thirteen-year-old genius, to find out.

Kindle Daily Deal Price: $1.99

Bennie Rosato, the founder of the Rosato & DiNunzio law firm, hides her big heart beneath her tough-as-nails exterior and she doesn't like to fail. Now, a case from her past shows her how differently things might have turned out.

Thirteen years ago, Bennie Rosato took on Jason Leftavick, a twelve-year-old boy who was sent to a juvenile detention center after fighting a class bully. Bennie couldn't free Jason, and to this day it's the case that haunts her. Jason has grown up in and out of juvenile prison, and his adulthood hasn't been any easier.

Bennie no longer represents those accused of murder, but when Jason is indicted for killing the same bully he fought with as a kid, she sees no choice but to represent him. She doesn't know whether or not to believe his claims of innocence, but she knows she owes him for past failures-of the law, of the juvenile justice system, and of herself. Forced to relive the darkest period of her life, Bennie will do everything in her power to get the truth, and justice.
