But then Pali learns the lavish wedding must take place on Valentine's Day — only nine days away. Oh, and one other little hitch — the groom's been missing at sea for more than a week. But no worries, the bride assures Pali, with or without the groom the wedding will take place. She's struck a deal with the groom's best friend to be his proxy, if necessary.

Two days before the nuptials, a male corpse floats ashore on a South Maui beach. Looks like the groom's shown up just in time. But what's it gonna be — a wedding  … or a funeral?

Murder Most Blonde
M. J. Hatch
A Jake Swan Mystery
Publisher: M. J. Hatch

Unwilling to work too hard when there are waves to surf, and bars to cruise, Jake Swanson's comfortable life is turned upside down when his city is rocked by two murders in less than 24 hours. Other than the color of their hair, the victims apparently have nothing in common — one is a returning socialite trailing scandal everywhere she goes, and the other is a child-like teenager just looking for a party.

Unfortunately for Jake, he had contact with both victims just prior to their deaths. Worse yet, he is friendly with one of the suspects, and is a tenant of the other.

With suspicion of complicity flowing heavily in his direction, he is forced to partner with the newly-minted detective, Melissa Sanchez, a former drug enforcement officer, who disdains him and the decadent lifestyle he embraces. Derision and sparks fly between Jake and his new partner as he comes to terms with his age, her youth, and that the unsolved murders that point heavily in the direction of two of Jake's known associates, endangering his luxurious life-style.

A Fatal Cut
Priscilla Masters
A Crime Thriller
Publisher: Endeavour Press

His patient was ready. He stood for a moment, staring down at her, his mind working out the correct incision. Then the first cut

A body has been discovered in undergrowth in the grounds of Birmingham hospital, wrapped in a clinical waste bag and, even more bizarrely, wearing little but a garish Disney tie. The scar and stitches evident on the dead man's groin suggest he may recently have been a patient at the hospital. But when pathologist Karys Harper is brought in to examine the body she makes a discovery that is more grotesque still. For the surgery wound was inflicted after death. Clearly this is no ordinary killer — and he's about to strike again.

As the "surgeon" continues to carry out his operations, can frustated Detective Inspector Forrest piece together the clues — which are few and far between – and track this medical murderer down? Or will his next patient be someone close to Forrest's heart?

Into the Darkest Corner
Elizabeth Haynes
A Novel of Suspense
Harper

Catherine Bailey has been enjoying the single life long enough to know a catch when she sees one. Gorgeous, charismatic and spontaneous, Lee seems almost too perfect to be true. And her friends clearly agree, as each in turn falls under his spell.

But what begins as flattering attentiveness and passionate sex turns into raging jealousy, and Catherine soon learns there is a darker side to Lee. His increasingly erratic, controlling behaviour becomes frightening, but no one believes her when she shares her fears. Increasingly isolated and driven into the darkest corner of her world, a desperate Catherine plans a meticulous escape.

Four years later, Lee is behind bars and Catherine — now Cathy — compulsively checks the locks and doors in her apartment, trusting no one. But when an attractive upstairs neighbour, Stuart, comes into her life, Cathy dares to hope that happiness and love may still be possible … until she receives a phone call informing her of Lee's impending release. Soon after, Cathy thinks she catches a glimpse of the former best friend who testified against her in the trial; she begins to return home to find objects subtly rearranged in her apartment, one of Lee's old tricks. Convinced she is back in her former lover's sights, Cathy prepares to wrestle with the demons of her past for the last time.

The Road to Key West by Michael Reisig
A Caribbean Adventure
Publisher: Clear Creek Press

In August of 1971, Kansas Stamps and Will Bell set out to become nothing more than commercial divers in the Florida Keys, but adventure, or misadventure, seems to dog them at every turn. They encounter a parade of bizarre characters, from part-time pirates and heartless larcenists, to Voodoo bokors, a wacky Jamaican soothsayer, and a handful of drug smugglers.

Adding even more flavor to this Caribbean brew is a complicated romance, a lost Spanish treasure, and a pre antediluvian artifact created by a distant congregation who truly understood the term "pyramid power".

Where the Dark Streets Go by Dorothy Salisbury Davis
A Novel of Suspense
Publisher: Open Road

A spellbinding tale of passion and deadly deceit that begins with a dying man's mysterious last words.

Father McMahon is struggling to write a sermon when a boy runs into his office. A man in his tenement is dying, the boy says, and it is too late for a doctor or the police. In the basement of the apartment house, Father McMahon kneels beside the blood-soaked man, who has been stabbed with a knife. The man asks for no absolution. He wants to talk of life, not death, and takes to his grave the identity of his killer — and his own.

No one in the neighborhood — not his lover or his friends — knows the man's real name, where he came from, or why someone would want to kill him. But in his final minutes, he reveals one clue that sends Father McMahon, a cop, and a wealthy young woman down New York's dark streets, where a killer is waiting to strike again.
