A gang of London warehouse thieves kill a policeman, Dyerson, during a raid. The murder is seen by three people, none of whom is anxious to come forward as a witness. The only lead the police have is one witness and the name Bandy.
Meanwhile David Wight, a young journalist on "Topical Truths" meets Nora Winstone in a bar and offers to drive her home. But when he visits the next morning to return some of her belongings, she's missing. Nora is more than just a victim to the police, she's also one of the witnesses of Dyerson's attack.
David becomes involved in the case, which is being handled by his godfather, Detective Superintendent Morgan of Scotland Yard. He begins to investigate himself, approaching his friend Paul Brenn-Taylor and coming across the names Robert Lumsden and a mysterious "Bill" in Nora's diary …
When David's own home is broken into and then he comes across Nora's supposed husband, who has just returned from his own captors, he begins to fear for his own involvement and his life. Then Nora's bloodied scarf is found in the back of a car and David is being followed. When more bodies are discovered and David goes missing, it's a race against time to find the killer …
Can Morgan and David solve the mystery and find her killer before someone else is murdered? Will David get his exclusive story? And at what cost?

Price: 99¢ (as of 02/15/2015 at 5:00 PM ET).
Detective Paul Rigby's role in his girlfriend's death has haunted him since that tragic event almost one year ago. With his dreams of marriage and a family already destroyed, Rigby's guilt now threatens to sabotage the one thing left to him: his once promising career.
That career would already be in ruins without the intervention of Chief of Police Jim Pearson. Reluctant to lose his best detective, Pearson is forced to resort to ever more devious methods of keeping his young protégé under control as the anniversary approaches.
Sidelined following a spontaneous act of violence, Rigby finds himself at increasing odds with his mentor but is determined to prove that he is still worthy of Pearson's trust. A manpower crisis within the department offers a chance of redemption during what should be a straightforward case, but when repercussions from his punch-up and his unorthodox handling of the investigation collide with devastating results, Rigby discovers he has a lot more to lose than he thought.

But all that suddenly changes when Kate and her partner, Ted Grady, get called to the scene of one of the most horrifying homicides they've ever worked. What follows is a string of killings that's bizarre, even by Hollywood standards. As they work the crime scenes and chase after a killer called The Prophet, Kate realizes he's taken a personal interest in her.

Omnimystery News is always searching for newly discounted mystery, suspense, thriller and crime novels for our readers to enjoy.
Today, we're pleased to present the following title, now available at a special price courtesy of the publisher, Open Road …
Baptism in Blood by Jane Haddam
A Gregor Demarkian Mystery (14th in series)
Publisher: Open Road
Price: $1.99 (as of 02/15/2015 at 4:00 PM ET).
As a hurricane bears down on Bellerton, North Carolina, Zhondra Meyer opens her gates to the townsfolk. Her farm occupies the area's highest ground, but the locals are wary of accepting her invitation. Zhondra says her camp is nothing more than a retreat for battered women, but the town's evangelicals believe that her residents are lesbians, occultists, or, worst of all, satanists — a fear seemingly confirmed when an infant is found ritualistically slaughtered.
Former FBI agent Gregor Demarkian might have experience solving religious murders, but he's never dealt with satanism. Invited by his friend David, one of America's most prominent atheists, to investigate the murder, Gregor keeps an open mind. What he finds in Bellerton shows that even the most pious Christians are capable of hellish deeds.

Omnimystery News is pleased to introduce a new mystery, suspense, or thriller title from Harlequin, published this month …
For more information about the book, see a synopsis, below.
The clock was ticking, the enemy was watching …
At first it looked like a glorified babysitting job: safeguard a scientist while she created a countermeasure to neutralize a dangerous weapon that had fallen into the wrong hands. But when Dr. Megan Fuller's life was threatened, undercover agent Sawyer Branson knew the enemy was closing in. Sticking by Megan 24/7 wasn't something he took lightly, even if Megan didn't seem to appreciate his constant presence. For a man used to getting any woman he wanted, Megan was a challenge he was coming to enjoy. Because beneath her boxy lab coat and pinned-back hair lay a brilliant and beautiful warrior. And before long, Sawyer's determination to save the world was matched only by the sudden need to make Megan his.

Motive by Jonathan Kellerman, New in Bookstores during February 2015
Today's featured new hardcover mystery, suspense, or thriller title scheduled to be published during February 2015 is …
Motive by Jonathan Kellerman, an Alex Delaware Mystery (30th in series)
Publisher: Ballantine
Even having hundreds of closed cases to his credit can't keep LAPD police lieutenant Milo Sturgis from agonizing over the crimes that don't get solved — and the victims who go without justice. Victims like Katherine Hennepin, a young woman strangled and stabbed in her home. A single suspect with a solid alibi leads to a dead end — one even Alex Delaware's expert insight can't explain. The only thing to do is move on to the next murder case — because there's always a next one.
This time the victim is Ursula Corey: a successful, attractive divorcée who's been gunned down — not a robbery but an execution, a crime that smacks of simple, savage revenge. And along with that theoretical motive come two strong contenders for the role of perp: the dead woman's business partner/ex-husband and her divorce lawyer/secret lover. But just as Alex and Milo think they're zeroing in on the most likely suspect, a bizarre new clue stirs up eerie echoes of the unsolved Hennepin murder. And the discovery of yet another crime scene bearing the same taunting signature raises the specter of a serial killer on a mission, whose twisted method is exceeded only by his manipulative and cunning madness.
— Motive by Jonathan Kellerman

Review: Cookie's Case by Andy Siegel
A Mysterious Review of Cookie's Case by Andy Siegel. A Tug Wyler Mystery.
Review summary: The eclectic cast of characters make for a very entertaining read. There isn't much of a typical mystery plot here, no murders, kidnappings, felonies, or any other serious crimes, but the storylines are interesting and well told. Overall, a nice break from the routine in this often humorous, enjoyable tale. (Click here for text of full review.)
Our rating:
Cookie's Case
Andy Siegel
A Tug Wyler Mystery
Open Road (February 2015)
Publisher synopsis: Cookie, an angel in stiletto heels, is by far the most popular performer at Jingles Dance Bonanza. To her devoted audience, she's a friend, therapist, and shoulder to cry on, all rolled into one. While meeting an old pal at the club, Tug doesn't expect to pick up a new client but quickly realizes the gallant Cookie — dancing in a neck brace, each leg kick potentially her last — is in need of a committed champion.
Righting wrongs is never a simple task for Tug, a sharp-witted and unorthodox trial lawyer who repeatedly finds himself in the middle of unusual cases and causes. But that doesn't stop him from trying. Believing that Cookie is the victim of a spine surgeon with a sloppy touch, Tug takes her case. But as he seeks both medical remedy and a fair shake for Cookie, he realizes — a tad too late — that sinister sights are now trained on him.
