Secret Protector by Ann Voss Peterson

Hired to protect Natalie Kendall at any cost, Gray Scott intended to keep a low profile. But when his cover was almost blown he moved to plan B: become her boyfriend.

The bodyguard knew Natalie's nightmares were the key to unlocking the mystery of the Christmas Eve Murders. But she'd kept those secrets hidden for almost twenty years, and it would take more than his strong will to make her remember. It might just take the truth.

The Secret in Their Eyes by Eduardo Sacheri

About The Secret in Their Eyes (from the publisher): Benjamín Chaparro is a retired detective still obsessed by the brutal, decades-old rape and murder of a young married woman in her own bedroom. While attempting to write a book about the case, he revisits the details of the investigation. As he reaches into the past, Chaparro also recalls the beginning of his long, unrequited love for Irene Hornos, then just an intern, now a respected judge. Set in the Buenos Aires of the 1970s, Sacheri’s tale reveals the underpinnings of Argentina’s Dirty War and takes on the question of justice—what it really means and in whose hands it belongs.

Film Adaptation of Ken Bruen's London Boulevard Now on VOD, Limited Theater Release in November

London Boulevard (2010)

The film adaptation of Ken Bruen's 2009 thriller London Boulevard was released last year in the UK, but at the time a US release date had not yet been announced. And we hadn't heard any more about it until this week, when we noticed a US trailer for the film had been posted online (embedded below). It is essentially the same trailer we posted last year for the film's UK release, but it still doesn't mention a theatrical release for the US.

Well, there's probably a good reason for that because the film is already available as video-on-demand — though there is no DVD announced yet for the film — and is scheduled for a limited release next month.

London Boulevard follows an ex-con trying to make a fresh start in a relationship with a reclusive actress. Marketed as a sexy, stylish gangster thriller bristling with wit and brutal intrigue, the film stars Colin Farrell and Keira Knightley as star-crossed lovers who run afoul of one of London’s most vicious crime bosses.

You can watch London Boulevard via Amazon Instant or through your cable provider. It will also be in select theaters on November 11th (though we can't find a list of cities where it will be playing).

Within moments of the discovery, an apparent terrorist attack kills everyone at the site—including Daniel. Seneca barely escapes the carnage.

Determined to get answers, Seneca starts investigating. She finds out that someone is stealing the remains of the most infamous mass murderers in history—and plotting to slaughter millions in the name of an ancient cult. Teaming up with bestselling novelist Matt Everhart, Seneca tries to stay one step ahead of those who want her dead as she and Matt follow a deadly 2000-year-old trail that leads back to the death of Jesus Christ.
