Tokyo Kill
Barry Lancet
A Jim Brodie Thriller
Simon & Schuster (September 2014)

Publisher synopsis: When an elderly World War II veteran shows up unannounced at Brodie Security begging for protection, the staff thinks he's just a paranoid old man. He offers up a story connected to the war and to Chinese Triads operating in present-day Tokyo, insisting that he and his few surviving army buddies are in danger.

Fresh off his involvement in solving San Francisco's Japantown murders, antiques dealer Jim Brodie had returned to Tokyo for some R&R, and to hunt down a rare ink painting by the legendary Japanese Zen master Sengai for one of his clients — not to take on another case with his late father's P.I. firm. But out of respect for the old soldier, Brodie agrees to provide a security detail, thinking it'll be an easy job and end when the man comes to his senses.

Instead, an unexpected, brutal murder rocks Brodie and his crew, sending them deep into the realm of the Triads, Chinese spies, kendo warriors, and an elusive group of killers whose treachery spans centuries — and who will stop at nothing to complete their mission.

Price: $3.99 (as of 02/16/2015 at 5:30 PM ET).

  

When John Cluster, a local farmer, is found with a poultry-knife protruding from his back, the villagers of Cheswick have something new to gossip about. All the evidence points to Miss Emily Mytton, whose house is the unfortunate scene of the crime. But as the last member of the village's oldest family, and with a firm alibi, surely she must be innocent? And Cluster's widespread unpopularity means that a long and complicated murder investigation must begin, with a number of new suspects.

Detective-Sergeant Norris-Kerr may look like he is not up to the job, but what he exposes goes far deeper than any local gossip. And when William Bright is attacked, Norris-Kerr suspects that one victim was not enough for the killer. Can he uncover the killer's motive before they strike again?

The answer will lie in one of the village's best hidden secrets …

A Rylie Keyes Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Entangled: Select

Price: 99¢ (as of 02/16/2015 at 5:00 PM ET).

  

Is it strange to have the unemployment office on speed dial? Not for twenty-four-year-old college dropout Rylie Keyes. Her current job at a small retirement home is worlds more important than all her past gigs, though: if she loses this one, she won't be able to stop the forced sale of her and her grandfather's home, a house that has been in the family for ages. But keeping her job means figuring out the truth about a senior citizen who was found murdered while in her care. Explain that one, Miss Keyes.

The late Otto Weiner was thought to be a penniless Nazi concentration camp survivor with a silly grudge against Rylie. However, Otto was not a liked man by any means, and his enemies will stop at nothing to keep their part in his murder secret.

Forced to dust off the PI training she has to keep hidden from her ex-detective grandfather, Rylie must align with a circus-bike-wheeling Samoan while juggling the attention of two very hot cops who each get her all hot and bothered for very different reasons. And as she trudges through this new realm of perseverance, she has no idea that along the way she just might win, or lose, a little piece of her heart.

Peggy Lee and her gardening friends have managed to persuade the International Flower Show to move to Charlotte from Atlanta this year. Excited and enthusiastic, Peggy agrees to step into the role as director of the event, but on opening day, a good friend of hers is found dead in the middle of the show.

Dr. Aris Abbuto, an orchid grower from South Africa, has been shot and buried in a makeshift grave covered with pink thyme. Peggy is especially devastated since he came at her personal invitation. The presence of the pink thyme, a plant once used for ancient burial rites, tells her it's possible one of the show's growers may be involved in his death.

She plans to work with the Charlotte Police on this one, in her position of contract forensic botanist, and is surprised to learn of the Charlotte FBI's interest in the case — which means her husband, Steve is involved too.

Peggy is focused on finding her friend's killer and running the flower show with hundreds of sometimes disgruntled vendors. Her questions will find a devious plot with her friend and his young daughter, unwittingly, at the heart of it.

Asking the wrong questions can be dangerous, however, as Peggy knows so well. If she isn't careful, finding her friend's killer might also lead to a flower-covered grave for her.

Tug Wyler is embroiled in the mysterious medical malady of a sexy stripper who slipped on a banana peel during her signature act …

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.

Game of Thrones

Season Four

  

As the season begins, encouraged by the Red Wedding slaughter in the Riverlands that wiped out many of their Stark nemeses, the Lannisters' hold on the Iron Throne remains intact … but can they survive their own egos as well as new and ongoing threats from the south, north and east?

While an unbowed Stannis Baratheon continues to rebuild his army in Dragonstone, a more immediate danger comes from the south, as Oberyn Martell, the Lannister-loathing "Red Viper of Dorne," arrives at King's Landing to attend Joffrey's wedding to Margaery Tyrell, and perhaps act on an ulterior agenda.

In the north, a depleted Night's Watch seems overmatched against the inexorable Wall advances of Mance Rayder's army of wildlings, which in turn is being trailed by an even more formidable foe: the undead White Walkers.

If that's not enough, Daenerys Targaryen, accompanied by her fierce trio of dragons and Unsullied army, is poised to "liberate" Meereen, the largest Slaver City in the east, which could provide her with an imposing force to execute her ultimate plan: to sail to Westeros and reclaim the Iron Throne the Lannisters usurped from her family.

Life should have been perfect for Jeremiah Bean. A beautiful wife who wore a Texas Rangers' badge, a beautiful baby daughter, a judgeship his for the taking.

Instead, his wife and daughter are dead, and his judge's bench has been taken away because of a bit of a problem with the needle.

Now Judge Royy Bean II, trying to stay off the radar of law enforcement, quietly — though fully armed and always wearing a bullet-proof vest — handles squabbles between thieves and burglars and other assorted fringe members of society in a dusty compound in far southern Texas.

But someone has left a package for him in Barefield: a finger, a note, and a photocopy of a Texas Rangers' badge — implying things weren't quite kosher the night his wife, and three of her fellow Rangers, became celebrated heroes.

Bean's semi, full of dope-packed coffins, is on fire, cops are searching for him, and he's found fourteen-year-old Faith chained up and hidden inside the cab of the truck. Clearly not what he signed up for.

While trying to take Faith home, Bean confronts the Ranger he believed to be long dead and is forced to face his greatest lost treasure.
