New This Week: Tears of Innocence, A Historical Thriller by Bill Rapp

Tears of Innocence by Bill Rapp
A Historical Thriller
Publisher: Five Star
Price: $3.99 (as of 02/22/2015 at 12:30 PM ET).
In the autumn of 1945 Karl Baier, a young American military officer, arrives in a devastated Berlin, the once mighty capital of the Third Reich. His assignment: to hunt down, debrief, and, in some cases, resettle German scientists who helped build the German war machine.
He is not alone, however, as America's allies during the war have become competitors in the search for Germany's scientific and industrial elite. Baier soon finds himself romantically involved with a local woman whose husband disappeared on the eastern front, a woman whose husband shares Baier's name. The young American agrees to help find news of her husband's fate, which she uses to draw him into a story of deceit, romance, and missing treasure. Soon Baier becomes the hunted as much as the hunter. Baier's quest takes him from the ruins of Berlin to Greece, Bavaria, and Lisbon, the heart of European espionage and main escape route during the war, as he searches for answers to a mystery that stretches back into the German occupation, the chaotic final days of the war, and into an uncertain future. Baier will have to learn who his true friends are, whom he can trust, and whether it is safe to love a woman whose history he can only begin to understand.

Price: $2.99 (as of 02/21/2015 at 7:30 PM ET).
A birthday celebration at Seattle's historic Paramount Theater turns tragic when a fire erupts on stage, leaving behind smoldering clues and a magician burnt beyond recognition. When the smoke clears, private detectives Alan Stewart and Vera Deward once again find themselves thrust into the depths of an international mystery.
Frustrated by a performance troupe of Russian Émigrés, magicians, and dancers, who know more than they are willing to tell, Alan and Vera seek the help of a famous psychic, Alexander — The Man Who Knows All. Will Alexander be able to shed light on this mystery, or is he just another smoke and mirrors illusionist seeking to profit while standing on the ruins of his dismantled competition?
As the body count climbs in famous Seattle theaters, Vera and Alan join with trusted police detective, Ben Kearney, and together they employ hard-knock techniques, psychic predictions, potions, and good old-fashioned sleuthing, discovering that in the world of magic, sleight-of-hand and treachery can reach beyond the stage, drag up the historical past, open old wounds, and threaten the present.

Bone Digger by Douglas Hirt
A Western Thriller
Publisher: Five Star
Price: $3.99 (as of 02/21/2015 at 6:30 PM ET).
Eons past, an ancient creature the size of a bunk house lived out a solitary life and died all alone in a rugged, prehistoric canyon. Millennia later that canyon would occupy an isolated corner of C. L. McSween's Rocking S Ranch. It might have gone on for millennia future untouched if not for McSween's plan to dam the canyon up, to provide water for his cattle.
Paleontology is a brand new science in 1877, and when Samuel Cobsworth, a paleontologist from back east, discovers the cache of bones from this long-dead Jurassic monster, he considers them a priceless treasure trove. C. L. McSween and his daughter Libby don't see it that way. They're concerned only about ensuring their cattle's survival during the next drought. On top of that, McSween is a superstitious ex-mountain man. He considers the bone digger a grave robber and wants him off his ranch!
To Chad Larimer, foreman of the Rocking S Ranch, Cobsworth's discovery is nothing more than a bunch of old cow bones … until strangers from back east show up desperate to get their hands on them. Among the Easterners is the infamous paleontologist Professor O. C. Marsh. Marsh wants the bones for his museum and is prepared to have them at any cost. He's brought hired guns with him, and whoever gets between him and those bones is going to die.
Unfortunately, Chad is the man in the middle.

Price: 99¢ (as of 02/21/2015 at 6:00 PM ET).
The Brotherhood of the Order is one of the oldest and most mysterious organizations on earth. Its primary mission is to protect one of the most carefully guarded secrets in human history, an object so enigmatic and powerful that in the wrong hands it could wreak havoc upon the earth. In the right hands it just might have the power to save humanity from its own destructive impulses.
Doug McArthur, hit in the face by a young friend at the age of seven, is suddenly able to see a supernatural creature who calls itself Collector. Doug's life is turned upside down when he realizes that it's not just the creature he sees, but the atrocities it commits.
Since marrying Annie his visions have been quiet and Doug is grateful. Now Annie is pregnant with their first child — a child that promises to be special — and their world is in the process of coming apart, beginning with the destruction of their home and forcing them to run for their lives, back into the world of Annie's childhood, the De Roché dynasty, to a murdered mother and a cruel and enigmatic father.
Doug, whose love for Annie borders on the obsessive, has a deep and abiding hate for her father. He is nearly insane with grief over their plight, but soon finds that De Roché is the least of his worries when he begins to hear the pleading voice of a lost child that he cannot possibly save.
And then, in the midst of Annie's mother's funeral, Doug is given a strange artifact, along with a dire warning by a dying priest. He must leave Annie and his unborn child and begin a sojourn into the darkest regions of the human heart.
In his attempt to save his wife and unborn child, Doug finds that there is much more at stake than the lives of two people, perhaps the very salvation of the human soul.

Max Friteau stands to inherit a fortune one day from his late father — but only if he abides by the terms in his will.
Robert Friteau, a rich Belgian merchant living in the Friteau family home of Château Granbois, was violently anti-British. Many years ago during the War, his son Max had an affair with an English woman while serving with the British Royal Navy. The romance resulted in an illegitimate daughter, Mary. Robert's will states that if Max returns to England before his fiftieth year, all of his possessions will pass automatically to his cousins, Pierre and Jules Friteau. But Max, who has yet to reach his fiftieth birthday, is forced to visit England to prevent Mary from marrying jobless gambler Harry Blane.
Jules is determined to secure the family fortune for himself and would love nothing more than to prove that Max has been in England. Mary suggests that Max go back to Belgium before he is found in the UK and arranges for him to hitch a lift with her good friends Nat and George, who are driving to the continent on holiday. But when Nat and George arrive at the London flat where Max is staying, they find the dead body of a man. They know that if Max dies in the UK, the Friteau fortune will pass to Jules and Pierre, while their friend Mary will be left with nothing.
But what if the body somehow made its way back to Belgium? Would it not look as if Max had died there instead?

Supposed To Die by Hugh Dutton
A Novel of Suspense
Publisher: Five Star
Price: $3.99 (as of 02/21/2015 at 4:30 PM ET).
If there is such a thing as a fate worse than death, Joe Tree found it. Sentenced to the hell of Florida's state prison for a murder he didn't commit, with the wife he worships cheering on the prosecution and then deserting him to marry the man who sent him up. His long-coveted freedom day only brings more heartbreak when he returns to Tampa Bay after surviving twelve years on the concrete.
The gold he stashed to finance a fresh start has disappeared, the friend he trusted it to is long dead, the answers buried beneath the dirty secrets of a onetime rival's success and the truth of why an old acquaintance who married a fortune needs Joe dead or back in prison to keep it. When Joe crosses paths with a soured cop hungering for an opportunity to muscle in on a lucrative blackmail racket — if he can find a suitable lowlife to frame for the killings — the bodies start falling.
A prime murder suspect once again, Joe's sole hope of avoiding a return to prison lies in smoking out the real killer. As each layer of deceit he scrapes away reveals more of the treachery that stole his life, his hunt for his gold becomes a quest for vindication. But to get his shot at that bittersweet justice, he must gamble everything — the gold, his freedom, and ultimately his life — on the heart of a beautiful attorney who just may be playing for the other side.

Price: $2.99 (as of 02/21/2015 at 4:00 PM ET).
The Fabulous Five are out for justice — one way or another!
The ladies of the Circle are rushing to the rescue again, crusading for the Goddess of Justice in their own preternatural way — even if that means tipped her scales a bit. It all begins at Lammas, the August Festival of Bread, when Cass Shipton is called to jury duty in Plymouth County — the tragic case of a home invasion, the brutal deaths of a mother and daughter. Although she considers it her Libran calling to weigh evidence in the most impartial way, Cass the clairvoyant soon finds herself knowing too much for comfort about the crime and the criminals.
Meantime, Heather Devlin, the Circle's intrepid animal activist, pursues a local dog-fighting ring with her own zany brand of off-the-wall "special ops." Fiona helps a light-footed young widow named Ashling lay to rest the ghost of her late husband, an irascible poet. Phillipa cooks up trouble at a favorite local restaurant. And Deidre runs into an old flame.
Clearly the ladies have a full agenda on their clever hands.
