Jon Bennet is the perfect employee: systematic, productive, and utterly reliable. He is also completely detached from the world around him and seemingly feels nothing … for Jon's life is anything but common. Under the tight leash of the Tattooed Man, Jon kills and maims on order. And he's good at it.

But Jon's days of favor are about to end. After bumping into old school friends, he slowly reenters the normal world, where the bonds of friendship, love, and kindness are expected, and he finds himself changing back into the person he once was.

But the Tattooed Man requires total servitude, and his wrath is more fearful than Jon could ever have expected.

Given only weeks to live, Kenny Drummond finds a mystery worth dying to solve …

Kenny Drummond has been diagnosed with late-stage brain cancer and is writing a list — a list of all the people he has let down in one way or another. He is determined to make amends before the black smudge that keeps showing up on his scans exercises its final power over him.

Working his way down the list, Kenny comes to an old schoolmate, Callie Barton, who was kind when he needed a friend. He heard she dated and eventually married Jonathan Reese, and that they live in Bath.

But no matter how hard he tries, Kenny can't seem to get ahold of Callie; she's disappeared without a trace. In fact, there are rumors that Reese wasn't the kindest husband. And he sure seems like he has something to hide.

Now Kenny has a ticking clock and a promise to keep, and nothing's going to stand in his way.

Holloway Falls by Neil Cross, Amazon Kindle formatHolloway Falls by Neil Cross, Nook format

The paths of a cult leader, a precognitive man with a secret, and a detective with a troubled past intersect in this dark and absorbing mystery …

Andrew Taylor was a typical, pleasant lower-middle-class Bristol boy, content with his dependable life and loving family … until the dreams started coming. Violent, visceral, powerful visions appear at night whispering about darkness, death, murdered women, nationwide grief. Even worse, the dreams appear to be coming true, and soon Taylor finds himself living in a nightmare.

William Holloway is the investigator called on to examine Taylor's unexpected disappearance. It looks like an open-and-shut case of suicide: Family man has mental breakdown, walks into sea to end pain. But strange clues nag at Holloway, especially after an old adversary rises from the grave to torment the detective. How, if at all, is this spirit connected to the Taylor's disappearance?

Rex Dryden is a fake name, but no matter; the important thing is Rex's position at the head of a cult called the Temple of Light, his dire predictions, and the several hundred followers who may or may not have been saved from their own suicides by a miracle. What is Rex? The new Messiah? A nasty con man? A performance artist? Or could he be something darker?

Review: Pardon the Ravens by Alan Hruska

Mysterious Reviews: Reviews of New Mysteries, Novels of Suspense, and Thrillers

A Mysterious Review of Pardon the Ravens by Alan Hruska. A Legal Thriller.

Review summary: This is an exciting, action-packed novel, though to be sure, some of the action is really graphic and really troubling. The legal elements are intriguing, and a little more courtroom drama and a little less of the mafia violence would have gone a long way towards making this a far more compelling read. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating: 3 of 5 stars

But he risks it all when he falls for an alluring young woman whose enraged husband is a sadistic Mafia don — and the criminal mastermind behind Alec's case.

Suddenly, Alec finds himself caught between saving the woman he's fallen for, pleasing the partners of his firm — and trying not to get killed in the process. This riveting ride blasts through Wall Street, the city's most dangerous neighborhoods and worlds where sex, drugs and unsolved murders hide behind every façade.

In the unbearable heat of July in Tuscany, investigating magistrate Jacopo Dragonetti unravels a family history of feuds and violence. Money can buy you many things but it can't protect you from murder, it can't buy you love, and there is no love lost in the despotic Ursula's family. Imprisoned in the villa, they eye each other with increasing suspicion and fear.

Three children by three different fathers, resentful servants, a jilted lover, and echoes from the Second World War as well as the more recent past, are the components of this complex case.

When a group from the small English town of Bolchester make an excursion to Cannes, little do they expect it to end so dramatically — with the disastrous murder of one of their party, the domineering Alderman William Dawson. Suddenly the holidaymakers find themselves murder suspects. But, with so many grudges borne against Dawson, it becomes impossible to work out who might have been responsible for his death. Was the fact that he had been a traitor in the maquis — the French resistance — during the war a factor? And was his death connected to the subsequent killing of the crooked barkeeper Sammy?

When Scotland Yard call in Chief Inspector Littlejohn in to investigate, rudely interrupting his holiday in the Riviera, he comes up against a trying, taxing and peculiar case.

In the confusion that ensues, one family member is shot and another kidnapped, the assailants demanding an impossible ransom.

Is this the amateur crime gone horribly wrong that it seems, or something much more unexpected?

When Daniel's son, policeman Todd Forrest, is called to the scene of a gruesome murder where the body of a beautiful woman has literally been torn in two, he is stopped in his tracks. Not just because of the grotesque and theatrical nature of the crime but because he recognizes the victim as Daniel's goddaughter.

In an attempt to find swift resolution on her old friend's behalf, Reilly finds herself drawn into the investigation. And when another disturbing murder occurs soon after, Reilly can't help but feel that she has come across something like this before. But where?

And will Reilly's brief hiatus in the US force her into a decision about her future in Dublin, and the unfinished business she has there?

The body of an unidentified woman has been found stabbed to death and stuffed inside a suitcase left sitting on a Manhattan street. A startling enough death, but an even bigger shock comes when this new homicide surprisingly connects to the unsolved murder of Detective Heat's own mother. The gruesome killing of this Jane Doe launches Heat on a dangerous and emotional investigation, rekindling the cold case that has haunted her since she was nineteen. Paired once again with her romantic and investigative partner, top journalist Jameson Rook, Heat works to solve the mystery of the body in the suitcase while she also digs into unexplored areas of her mother's background-areas Nikki has been afraid to confront before, but now must.

Facing relentless danger as someone targets her for the next kill, Heat's search will unearth painful family truths, expose a startling hidden life, and cause Nikki to reexamine her own past. Heat's passionate quest takes her and Rook from the back alleys of Manhattan to the avenues of Paris, trying to catch a ruthless killer. The question is, now that her mother's cold case has unexpectedly thawed, will Nikki Heat finally be able to solve the dark mystery that has been her demon for ten years?
