Killer
Jonathan Kellerman
Series: Alex Delaware (29th)

The City of Angels has more than its share of psychopaths, and no one recognizes that more acutely than the brilliant psychologist and police consultant Dr. Alex Delaware. Despite that, Constance Sykes, a sophisticated, successful physician, hardly seems like someone Alex needs to fear. Then, at the behest of the court, he becomes embroiled in a bizarre child custody dispute initiated by Connie against her sister and begins to realize that there is much about the siblings he has failed to comprehend. And when the court battle between the Sykes sisters erupts into cold, calculating murder and a rapidly growing number of victims, Alex knows he's been snared in a toxic web of pathology.

Nothing would please Alex more than to be free of the ugly spectacle known as Sykes v. Sykes. But then the little girl at the center of the vicious dispute disappears and Alex knows he must work with longtime friend Detective Milo Sturgis, braving an obstacle course of Hollywood washouts, gangbangers, and self-serving jurists in order to save an innocent life.

The Curious Case of the Missing Moolah by Martin Stanley
A Stanton Brothers Thriller
Publisher: Martin Stanley
Price: $2.99 (as of 02/09/14 12:30 PM ET)

Eric Stanton has a big problem. Three armed robbers have stolen ten grand of his boss' money from him. So far, so bad.

However, his boss isn't the kind of man who will take that kind of loss lying down. If Eric can't get the money back, then it becomes his debt. And his boss isn't the kind of man he wants to owe money to, especially when he can't afford to pay. So Stanton has one option: get the money back before anybody notices it's gone!

But when he realises that he's been set up, and that this is part of a bigger picture, he does the one thing he can think of to even up the score — he brings in his brother, Derek. Now, Derek might not be the smartest man on the planet, or the most reliable, but he's six-feet four, strong as an ox and handy with his fists.

So the brothers decide to play detective, and take a trip around the seamier parts of Teesside in search of the money — upsetting the locals, breaking bones and trading quips, right up until the brutal finale.

The Getaway
Tom Barber
A Sam Archer Thriller
Publisher: Tom Barber

New York City. Summer.

A series of violent and highly successful bank robberies have broken out across the city, all carried out by the same five-man team. Millions of dollars have been stolen. The thieves are slick, efficient, well-organised and vicious, and the FBI are getting nowhere in building a case against them. With pressure from Washington mounting and the heists continuing, the feds desperately search for any leads.

They need results and they need them fast.

Across the city, Sam Archer is in town for a funeral. At the service, he is approached by an old family friend who works out of the FBI's New York Office. He is leading the case against the thieves and has a proposition for Archer. He needs the English counter-terrorist cop to go undercover, and try to get inside the bank-robber's circle. Make contact and gain their trust. Find out the secrets of their success.

Given his English accent and his cover story, it's a solid plan. They'll never connect him to the FBI. Nevertheless, Archer is ready to refuse, but his old acquaintance tells him something else, a shocking revelation that ties Archer to this case personally. It's all the convincing he needs.

He agrees to the plan, and goes undercover.

As he tries to establish contact with the crew and gets deeper and deeper, Archer learns that they are planning to leave the city forever in just a matter of days, but only after performing two final spectacular heists. In a race against time, Archer is forced to adapt or be killed as he gets caught up in the lethal crossfire between the thieves and law enforcement, none of whom know who he really is. As the clock ticks towards the thieves' departure and as the stakes get higher and higher, Archer must both find a murderer and prevent two of the biggest heists in the history of New York City.

Before the thieves make their final getaway.
