Spring has sprung in Crozet, Virginia — a time for old friends to gather and bid farewell to the doldrums of winter. Harry and her husband, Fair, are enjoying a cozy dinner with some of the town's leading citizens, including beloved University of Virginia history professor Greg "Ginger" McConnell and several members of UVA's celebrated 1959 football team. But beneath the cloak of conviviality lurks a sinister specter from the distant past that threatens to put all their lives in jeopardy.

When Professor McConnell is found murdered on the golf course the next day — gunned down in broad daylight by an unseen killer — no one can fathom a motive, let alone find a suspect. Just as Harry and her furry cohorts begin nosing into the case, however, a homeless UVA alum confesses to the crime. Trouble is, no one believes that the besotted former All-American could have done the foul deed — especially after Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and Tucker make another gruesome discovery.

As the questions surrounding Ginger's death pile up, Harry's search for answers takes her down the fascinating byways of Virginia's Revolutionary past. The professor was something of a sleuth himself, it seems, and the centuries-old mystery he was unraveling may well have put a target on his back. As Harry edges closer to identifying an elusive killer, her animal companions sense danger — and rally to find a way to keep Harry from disappearing into history.

What Lurks Beneath by Ryan Lockwood, Amazon Kindle format

The first attack occurs in the underwater caverns of the Bahamas. Two professional divers exploring the unknown. A monstrous flesh-ripping predator they never see coming.

Now the attacks are coming closer and closer to shore. A sun-soaked playground for sea-loving tourists. A human feasting ground for whatever lurks beneath.

Now, in a desperate race against time, Eric Watson, an expert on remote control underwater vehicles, and marine biologist Valerie Martell, must identify a savage new species of killer — and piece together one of nature's most horrific mysteries. But the most terrifying discovery of all waits for Val and her team at the bottom of the sea. A discovery too shocking, to comprehend.

Because up till now, this creature existed only in mankind's darkest nightmares. Not anymore.

Out of the Black Land by Kerry Greenwood, Amazon Kindle format

Eighteenth Dynasty Egypt is peaceful and prosperous under the dual rule of the Pharaohs Amenhotep III and IV, until the younger Pharaoh begins to dream new and terrifying dreams.

Ptah-hotep, a young peasant boy studying to be a scribe, wants to live a simple life in a Nile hut with his lover Kheperren and their dog Wolf. But Amenhotep IV appoints him as Great Royal Scribe. Surrounded by bitterly envious rivals and enemies, how long will Ptah-hotep survive?

The child-princess Mutnodjme sees her beautiful sister Nefertiti married off to the impotent young Amenhotep. But Nefertiti must bear royal children, so the ladies of the court devise a shocking plan.

Kheperren, meanwhile, serves as scribe to the daring teenage General Horemheb. But while the Pharaoh's shrinking army guards the Land of the Nile from enemies on every border, a far greater menace impends. For, not content with his own devotion to one god alone, the newly-renamed Akhnaten plans to suppress the worship of all other gods in the Black Land.

His horrified court soon realize that the Pharaoh is not merely deformed, but irretrievably mad; and that the biggest danger to the Empire is in the royal palace itself.

Detective Sergeant Ash Rashid wants little out of life: a steady job, a quiet place to call home, and a healthy family. Now three hundred days sober, for the first time he can see his happy ending forming on the horizon.

Then patrol officers find the body.

The victim has chemical burns on her arms, two broken legs, and a gash on her throat so deep it exposes the vertebrae of her neck. Then they find a second body and then two more. The killings aren't random, far from it. Each victim testified in a murder trial ten years ago, one that launched Ash's career. Each of them helped put a very dangerous man in prison, and now each of them has paid the price.

Ready or not, Ash will soon learn the true cost of his happy ending. Because very dangerous men have a knack for reaching through walls. Ten years ago, Ash helped send a predator to death row. Now someone plans to make him pay. And she's willing to kill everyone who stands in her way.

A Conversation with Crime Novelist G.R. Case

Omnimystery News: Author Interview with G.R. Case

We are delighted to welcome back author G.R. Case to Omnimystery News today.

We visited with G.R. last year when his debut thriller 30 Days was published, and now he has a new mystery out, Pernicious Intent (Cool Blue Books; March 2015 trade paperback and ebook formats), the first in his Miami series of crime novels.

We recently had the opportunity to catch up with G.R. to talk more about his work.

— ♦ —

Omnimystery News: Introduce us to the characters of your new series. What is it about them that appeals to you as a writer?

G.R. Case

G.R. Case

G.R. Case: The series came to me while I was running on a high school track some time ago. Images of the characters and setting were so visceral until I had to cut my five mile run short. I immediately went home and begin working on the outline that would become, Pernicious Intent. The story begins with Agent Carlos Perez speeding down a desolate street in an abandoned industrial park. He pulls up to the Inn which looks like a boarded-up building with graffiti on five steel doors facing the street. Perez sits patiently in the car waiting for the scanner mounted above the building to turn green before entering.

As a writer, I was drawn to the story because of its edginess within the Miami drug culture. Agents Carlos Perez and Reese Tyler comprise two of the five members of the Drug Reactionary Task Force (DRTF). A forensic technician, IT analyst and a Special Agent oversees the unit. Other units work within the Inn. I wanted to take the journey with the characters as they pursued a new type of ruthless, high-profile, college educated drug dealer.

OMN: How do you expect them to evolve over the course of the series?

GRC: As a sociologist and novelist, I fundamentally believe that everyone changes over time. However, the core of whom we are as social beings remain unchanged. Pernicious Intent is the first book of several more to come. I wanted the story to start off fast paced and didn't originally know it would become a series. After the first couple of chapters, I begin to realize that many more adventures awaited the secretive unit of the Inn. The great thing about writing a series is that I can pull readers further into the series by gradually introducing more backstory in subsequent novels.

OMN: Your first book was a stand-alone. Why did you decide to make Pernicious Intent the first of a series?

GRC: The stories normally find me when I'm doing mundane activities such as walking, cooking, by the way cooking is another passion of mine. I never know when or where characters will reach out to me to tell their story. I often tell people that the stories belong to the characters.

OMN: Into which fiction genre would you place this book?

GRC: Pernicious Intent is an action crime novel with intense car, motorcycle, and boat chases down the streets of Miami and out into the waters of Biscayne Bay. The book has elaborate fight sequences that rival those of any Hollywood blockbuster film.

OMN: Do you find genre categories limiting in any way?

GRC: It is okay because any novelist will know if his/her novel might be represented in multiple genres. If needed, as long as I can list my novel in multiple genres where applicable I'm fine.

OMN: Tell us something about the book that isn't mentioned in the publisher's synopsis.

GRC: I'm shopping around the adapted screenplay of Pernicious Intent, which I also wrote. I enjoy and appreciate writing in both mediums. Writing an adapted screenplay is extremely technical because one has to be concerned with slug lines and writing in the present tense. Compared and contrasted with writing in the past tense for chapters within a novel. It keeps you on your toes truncating a 364 page book like Pernicious Intent down to a 117 page screenplay. Novels are about embellishing. Screenplays are about what can be shown.

OMN: How does your professional experience play out in your books?

GRC: Make no mistake about it, my background with a B. S. in Criminal Justice and a Masters in Sociology allows me to delve into the criminal aspect of this series and my other psychological thriller, 30 Days, which in its second edition.

OMN: Describe your writing process for us.

GRC: Once the story finds me, meaning when I'm doing mundane activities such as grocery shopping, walking down a hallway, is when vivid, quick images of a story appears. I normally write what I see on paper as soon as I can. I may not re-visit the story for a few weeks or a few months. It depends on when more images appear to continue filling in what will become an outline. I am always working on other stories, so I'm not sitting around waiting on the full outline of one story to completely materialize. In regards to actively writing a chapter in a novel, additional characters naturally appear as needed to further the story.

OMN: Complete this sentence for us: "I am a crime novelist and thus I am also …".

GRC: … very astute when it comes to analyzing a character's socialization. Also, I understand that scary, crazy, and funny exist around the world.

OMN: How did Pernicious Intent come to be titled?

GRC: Originally, it was called Nefarious Nights when I was writing the manuscript early on. I don't know, for one reason or another the title never warmed up to me. It just didn't feel right. I wanted a title that really spoke to the will of both protagonist (s) and antagonist (s). Roughly about two-thirds through the first draft, the title Pernicious Intent came to me and it fit the character's message. I said, "That's it! Baby that's it!"

OMN: Tell us more about the book's cover.

GRC: The finished cover with the two jackets on the hood of the car was not the original cover. It was the third version of the cover. The first version centered around four members of the DRTF unit on a roof at dusk peering out towards a yacht in Biscayne Bay. The second version was set around two open lockers with jackets hanging on each door. Perez and Tyler were written on the back of each jacket. Just like the title of the book, you just feel it as a novelist when something's not right. The final version with the downtown Miami backdrop at night across the water, along with the sports car, and two jackets with the agent's name conveyed the perfect pictorial synopsis.

OMN: What's next for you?

GRC: I have been slated to host a monthly show on ArtistFirst radio on the fourth Wednesday of every month. Listeners around the world can check it out on ArtistFirst.com by clicking on G. R. Case Show on the home page. I believe it is the next evolution in my career as a novelist, sociologist, and screenwriter.

Special Agent Diehl sits at his desk wondering whether or not he made the right decision. He taps his fingers on the desk while rubbing the wrinkles on his forehead with the other hand. The last time he oversaw Agent Carlos Perez and Agent Reese Tyler was a couple of years ago. Now, he has made the tough decision to let them work together again in the DEA's elite, Drug Reactionary Task Force (DRTF).

Tyrus Miller has made a power play to eliminate rival competitors and sell, Smile G, his new illegal designer drug in Miami. Smile G is consumed voraciously on college campuses and nightclubs throughout Florida by using a simple patch. Field Agents Carlos Perez and Reese Tyler of DRTF are charged with taking down Tyrus. DRTF functions as a five-person unit, including Special Agent Diehl. DRTF works within what appears as a dilapidated warehouse on the outside called the Inn on the outskirts of Miami. It is a state of the art clandestine facility inside filled with military weapons, forensic laboratory and exotic cars.

As the investigation gets underway, similarities to another murder of a young military wife from ten years ago are brought to light. Unanswered questions linger around the previous case. Why were witnesses' statements retracted? Why was the case never solved? And why is Crane's Commanding Officer so against him reopening the investigation now?

When Crane decides to go at it alone, risking both his job and family's safety, he quickly discovers the lengthy measures the army are willing to go to as a means of protecting their officers' reputations. But can Crane expose the army's corrupted cordon of lies in order to catch the murderer? Or will the threat of personal loss be too much for him to bear?

I, Ripper by Stephen Hunter, A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: Simon & Schuster

I, Ripper by Stephen Hunter, Amazon Kindle formatI, Ripper by Stephen Hunter, Nook formatI, Ripper by Stephen Hunter, iTune iBook formatI, Ripper by Stephen Hunter, Kobo format

In the fall of 1888, Jack the Ripper slaughtered five prostitutes in London's seamy Whitechapel District. He did not just kill — he ripped with a butcher's glee — and then, after the particularly gruesome slaying of Mary Jane Kelly, he disappeared. For 127 years, Jack has haunted the dark corners of our imagination, the paradigm of the psychotic killer. We remember him not only for his crimes, but because, despite one of the biggest dragnets in London history, he was never caught.

This novel is a vivid reimagining of Jack's personal story entwined with that of an Irish journalist who covered the case, knew the principals, charted the investigation, and at last, stymied, went off in a bold new direction. These two men stalk each other through a city twisted in fear of the madman's blade, a cat-and-mouse game that brings to life the sounds and smells of the fleshpot tenderloin of Whitechapel and all the lurid acts that fueled the Ripper headlines.

Disintegration by Richard Thomas, Amazon Kindle format

Once a suburban husband and father, now the man has lost all sense of time. He retains only a few keepsakes of his former life: a handmade dining room table, an armoire and dresser from the bedroom, and a tape of the last message his wife ever left on their answering machine. These are memories of a man who no longer exists. Booze and an affair with a beautiful woman provide little relief, with the only meaning left in his life comes from his assignments. An envelope slipped under the door of his apartment with the name and address of an unpunished evildoer. The unspoken directive to kill. And every time he does, he marks the occasion with a memento: a tattoo. He has a lot of tattoos.

But into this unchanging existence seep unsettling questions. How much of what he feels and sees can he trust? How much is a lie designed to control him? He will risk his own life — and the lives of everyone around him — to find out.
