An unlikely partnership shrouded in secrets … family secrets too shocking to reveal …

Framed for embezzling, investigator Kira Kincaid will go to any lengths to clear her name — even team up with Dalton Matthews, her estranged … now deceased … husband's brother. But the reclusive mogul isn't what she expected — he's the quintessential alpha male who evokes an unwelcome yearning. And now, thanks to his involvement with Kira, a target to those trying to kill her.

Dalton is determined to protect the headstrong widow, even as he plans to walk away once she's safe. If only her green-eyed gaze didn't melt all of his emotional defenses. But when their mission exposes an earth-shattering family secret from both their pasts, Dalton must choose between his brother's betrayal and the one woman he should deny.

Today's featured new hardcover mystery, suspense, or thriller title scheduled to be published during May 2015 is …

Rock with Wings by Anne Hillerman, a Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee Mystery (20th in series)

Publisher: Harper

    

Doing a good deed for a relative offers the perfect opportunity for Sergeant Jim Chee and his wife, Officer Bernie Manuelito, to get away from the daily grind of police work. But two cases will call them back from their short vacation and separate them — one near Shiprock, and the other at iconic Monument Valley.

Chee follows a series of seemingly random and cryptic clues that lead to a missing woman, a coldblooded thug, and a mysterious mound of dirt and rocks that could be a gravesite. Bernie has her hands full managing the fallout from a drug bust gone wrong, uncovering the origins of a fire in the middle of nowhere, and looking into an ambitious solar energy development with long-ranging consequences for Navajo land.

Under the guidance of their mentor, retired Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, Bernie and Chee will navigate unexpected obstacles and confront the greatest challenge yet to their skills, commitment, and courage.

John Sebastian Lafcadio, R. A., "probably the greatest painter since Rembrandt" (according to himself), is dead. But his influence is not.

He wanted lasting fame and he left instructions to his wife, Belle, for one painting to be exhibited every year after his death. Eight years later, in Little Venice, a select group of friends and family gather to view the eighth painting. They are treated instead to a murder. The lights go down, and a young man is stabbed to death.

Albert Campion is one of the guests, and in his deceptively calm way he gets to work on the baffling case, with its long — suspiciously long — line-up of possible killers. Soon Campion finds himself having to face his dearest enemy …

Drawn into the murder investigation, Alex uses her connections at Midwest Focus News Magazine to help the police find the killer but, before long, finds herself being stalked by a vicious ex-con. Even after suffering a brutal attack, Alex refuses to back off, and she subsequently uncovers a shocking secret that had been buried long ago.

Newspaper reporter Catherine Linton ignored her investigative instincts when her parents died in a mysterious car crash six months ago — grief obscuring the warning signs that something was amiss. But when she discovers the beaten body of her father's nurse on Linton property, Catherine quickly realizes her parents' death was no accident.

Though the sleepy Southern town that Catherine's family has called home for generations still prickles with racial tension and decades-old classism, Catherine never expected that Lowfield, Mississippi could harbor a murderer. Now, it seems everyone has a terrible secret. But how many people in Lowfield would kill to keep them hidden?

Catherine finds herself both the sheriff's lead suspect and the killer's next target. With the help of her handsome editor, Randall, and her quirky fellow reporter, Tom, Catherine must untangle the dark roots of the murders and stop the killer who wears a neighbor's face.

Their new marriage and honeymoon are smooth sailing until the cruise ship they're on leaves Marjorie seasick. When the two debark and head to a private island owned by Creighton's family, they come face-to-face with the shock of their lives: Creighton's family is in residence.

Worst among the brood is Creighton's abrasive father, who insults everyone, including his own wife, his entire family and staff, and most of all Marjorie and Creighton. When the boorish and menacing old man is found dead, nobody sheds a tear, but all eyes turn to Creighton as the most likely suspect.

With the members of the household the only people on the island, finding the real killer should be a fairly straightforward job, but as Marjorie digs deeper and uncovers multiple motives and family turmoil, she might find that while blood is thicker than water, it spills much more easily.
