Gone, Baby, Gone
Dennis Lehane
A Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro Mystery (4th in series)
HarperCollins

This 1999 Dilys Award-winning novel was adapted into the film of the same title directed by Ben Affleck.

The neighborhood is no place for the innocent, the young, the defenseless or the pure. This is a territory of broken families, bitter cops, whacked out ex-cons, and a mother who watches herself on the nightly news as her missing child floats further and further into the unknown.

Boston private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro don't want this case. But after pleas from the child's aunt, they embark upon an investigation and ultimately risk losing everything — their relationship, their sanity, and even their lives — to find this little-girl-lost.

As they get to know the locals, things take a sinister turn. And when they suspect someone close to them might be involved in blackmail — or worse — Val and Kit do what they do best: they take matters into their own hands in their obsessive, often zany, quest to uncover the truth.

Jake Fonko M.I.A.
B. Hesse Pflingger
A Spy Thriller
Publisher: Tinderboxed Press

Meet Jake Fonko, America's coolest covert agent. An ex-surfer and decorated Ranger working in Army Intelligence, he finds himself suddenly dispatched to Saigon during the final days of the Vietnam War, temporarily on loan to the CIA. His CIA boss sends him on a secret mission into Cambodia — a mission so covert and highly classified that he is listed as "Missing In Action" at the outset to disguise his whereabouts.

But the mission — "service a CIA asset that has gone out of the loop" — makes no sense. And is he supposed to sit tight in a hotel and wait for a mysterious contact before doing anything? And why was Jake, with no CIA experience, picked to carry it out?

Soon after he arrives, Cambodia collapses and the killing fields commence. In short order he finds himself entangled with Khmer Rouge torturers, the Russian KGB and a psychopathic renegade CIA agent. How he extricates himself (and rescues the jungle-warrior daughter of a shady Chinese trader) amidst the chaos and corruption of war-torn Indochina is a tale you won't believe, except … what if it's all true?

Caitlin Kile was living a normal college life full of parties and early morning classes. Living with her best friend and enjoying her senior year, Caitlin's life seemed idyllic. Until her neighbor's cousin, Simon Crewe, transferred to her school, unbalancing her tightly controlled life. Because control was one thing Caitlin desperately needed.

Simon was instantly attracted to Caitlin, but he couldn't seem to get past her guarded walls. Caitlin wasn't planning on competing with all the groupies clamoring for Simon's attention ever since he became the lead singer of a popular band. But despite Caitlin's refusal to show any interest in him, Simon couldn't seem to shake his attraction to her.

But Simon didn't know everything about Caitlin. He didn't know about the images of death that haunted her while she was awake. Or the gripping terrors that plagued her at night.

And Simon couldn't possibly know that those terrors were determined to destroy him.
