But what had promised to be a relaxing break away soon takes a dramatic turn. Some of the evacuated children Grace is looking after stumble upon the remains of a body in a field. But no one in the village has been reported missing. The police soon determine that the body belongs to a young woman, who has been dead for some time. Eve is determined to dig deeper to find out the identity of the mysterious woman. But before she can, someone else in the village finds themselves in grave danger …

Has the murderer returned? Is the dead woman related to someone in the village? Can Eve solve the mystery of the murder in the country?

The Fraud by Brad Parks, a Carter Ross Mystery (6th in series)

Publisher: Minotaur Books

    

A rash of carjackings terrorizing Newark become newsworthy when one such theft ends in the murder of a wealthy banking executive. The affable, wisecracking Ross is assigned the story, but he's weary of only writing about victims of crime who happen to be rich and white. To balance his reporting, he finds a Nigerian immigrant of more modest means who was also killed during a recent carjacking.

When it turns out the two victims knew each other, sharing an unexplained round of golf at a tony country club shortly before their deaths, Carter is plunged onto the trail of a deadly band of car thieves that includes a sociopathic ex-convict. When his unborn child is put in harm's way, it becomes more than just a story for Carter. And he'll stop at nothing to rescue the baby-even if it costs him his own life.

A Booker T. Adams Mystery (4th in series)

Publisher: Sugar Hill Press

Price: 99¢ (as of 07/12/2015 at 12:30 PM ET).

  

Her dimpled smile and alluring gaze wouldn't work this time. Neither would her charm, curves, and effervescent youth — qualities that had always kept her moving in all the right circles. The high life.

Not this time. This time was terrifyingly different.

Shackled by her own regrets and the hell delivered by her captors, she struggles to find a sliver of hope where there is none. Time ticks …

Having made a name for himself in just a few short months as a Dallas PI, Booker T. Adams yanks the brake on everything once the sister of his business partner and friend, Alisa Lopes, goes missing.

Meanwhile, a family grieves for the loss of their child, another teen who thought she could have it all. Hired to find her killer, Booker treads through a layer of slime, trying to uncover who could be preying on a generation blinded by the hyper-active pursuit of fame and fortune — someone who enjoys it far too much.

With time running out before another shining star turns up in a body bag, Booker chases an invisible executor, grasping at any shred of evidence to find the young beauty.

For Alisa. For the grieving family. For every girl plucked off the street never to be heard from again. It has to stop. Today. In Dallas.

Booker will either succeed or die trying. And so will countless others.

— Blood Ring by John W. Mefford

America's worst nightmare has come true: a "cyber — Pearl Harbor" attack by unknown terrorists has crippled the nation's power grid — and brought the land of the free to its knees. As widespread panic and violence ravage the country, its ruthless captors issue their ultimatums … and vow an apocalyptic reckoning.

A defenseless nation scrambles to fight an invisible invasion. Chief among America's last line of defense is Lana Elkins, head of a major cyber-security company — and former top NSA operative — who returns to her roots to spearhead the Agency's frantic efforts to combat the enemy's onslaught on its own terms. While she and her superiors take action to infiltrate a terrorist hotbed overseas, much closer to home ruthless jihadists with a nuclear bomb hijack a busload of schoolchildren — including Lana's daughter — and race toward a rendezvous with Armageddon in America's greatest city.

Publisher: Winged Publications

Price: 99¢ (as of 07/11/2015 at 7:00 PM ET).

  

Blackmail turns deadly …

Cici Wilde's fiancé, Audie Howe, calls her with disturbing news. Her store's been broken into and worse, someone murdered the intruder. The victim clutches a string of pearls in one hand and a threatening e-mail in the other. It reads "I know what you're doing. Meet me at Cici's Vintage Clothing at 8:30 p.m. Saturday night."

With the discovery of the body, a recent spate of ugly e-mails throughout the Grace Gulch community becomes intensely personal. The murderer purposely lured the victim to Cici's store. Why? The answer lies in the strand of pearls, a gift from arts patron Magda Grace Mallory. She has loaned them to Audie, director of the MGM Theater, for use in the upcoming production of Arsenic and Old Lace.

Evidence points to members of the close theater community. Is it Gene Mallory, Magda's ne'er-do-well son? Lauren Packer, Magda's lawyer? Peppi Lambert, Grace Gulch newcomer and good friend of Cici's sister? Or Suzanne Jay, theater diva with a shady past? When a second murder is committed with the same string of pearls, Cici battles through baffling clues to find the killer before he strikes again.

Publisher: Endeavour Press

On a cold September evening, Dr. Watson receives an alarming telegram from the respectable Doctor Geoffrey Blake. A monster is loose in the normally quiet Essex town of Chilford — a fiend who had already not only murdered, but mutilated three of the town's inhabitants in the bloody style of the infamous Jack the Ripper. And for no apparent reason. The simple life of the villagers has been disrupted as a ripper lurks in the shadows, ready to pounce on his next victim.

Despite the efforts of the young Constable Newton's attempts to catch the wicked killer, Doctor Blake decides to take the matter upon his hands and visits 221B Baker Street to disclose the ghastly events and convince Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to uncover the dreaded mystery before the killer strikes again. The dangerous journey leads them to a group of five ex-servicemen who guard a troubling secret with the intention of suppressing the truth that could shake the whole town. Holmes and Watson are forced to reconcile the dispute that has erupted between the residents as they carefully time their plan which will ultimately reveal the murderer's identity.

Can the duo find the missing piece of the puzzle and expose the ripper before he destroys Chilford? Or will the ripper find a way to strike again?
