Avery Hart watched as the lies she believed about her past came true …

The man who is hunting her enjoys the chase as much as the kill, and Avery fears not only for her life, but the lives of those she loves.

Charla Kent has a deadly connection to the killer. Her proximity to his only surviving victim, Avery, makes every day a struggle, but all Charla wants is to find the truth.

Noah Cotter is responsible for catching the killer, but his feelings for Avery urge him to protect her by any means necessary. He is desperate to get ahead of the murders, and it's clear the killer is making up the rules as he goes.

Avery, Charla, and Noah must decide what they are willing to sacrifice to survive and who they can trust. With each dead body comes a clue in the form of cuts so deep, the killer will … bare your bones.

Jacqi has been to hell and back. Abducted by a child predator when she was eight years old, she still, years later, bears the scars of the incident and its very public aftermath. Her life takes an even steeper downward spiral when she witnesses the murder of a man it seems everyone wanted dead. But no one, not even the police, wants to hear her version of what actually happened.

Can these two wayward souls find redemption amid the convenient lies and difficult truths that have followed them for so long?

One lawman is determined to keep his enemies close … and an innocent woman even closer …

A killer lurked in the Colorado wilderness, and now Captain Graham Ellison had some reporter sniffing around the crime scene. And not only did Emma Wade know the victim, she never dropped an investigation once she started it. But all Graham saw was an independent streak that would get the gorgeous redhead killed. As much as he didn't like allowing a civilian access to his case, he needed to keep Emma close if he also hoped to keep her alive. And he very much did. After all, she was an innocent victim who needed his protection. Nothing more. Or so he kept telling himself.

At The Seattle Mirror, he is competing for the single full-time job being offered through the paper's intense intern program. But unlike the program's other young reporters, who attended big name schools and worked at other big metro dailies, Wade put himself through community college, and lacked the same experience.

Wade struggles with his haunting past as he pursues the story of Karen Harding, a college student whose car was found abandoned on a lonely stretch of highway in the Pacific Northwest. How could this beloved young woman with the altruistic nature simply vanish?

Wade battles mounting odds and cut-throat competition to unearth the truth behind Karen Harding's disturbing case. Her disappearance is a story he cannot give up, never realizing the toll it could exact from him.

We've selected one of their recently published mystery, suspense, thriller or crime titles to feature here today …

Traitor's Exit by John Gardner

A Boysie Oaks Spy Novel

Publisher: Endeavour Press

Price: $3.99 (as of 07/18/2015 at 5:30 PM ET).

  

Rex Upsdale is a spent, washed-out spy writer. His trade has worn him down to the bone, and he sits alone, rejected and punch-drunk and full of self-pity. Reality and fiction have become mixed in his mind. In increasing financial trouble, he is offered some semblance of security if he will take on just one journalistic assignment behind the Iron Curtain. All that's required is an interview with Kit Styles, the most notorious of all defectors from West to East. But it's not as straightforward as he thinks.

He hasn't reckoned with the eternally incompetent and feckless Boysie Oakes; his puppet master, Mostyn; a neatly curved companion, Miss Hester Havisham; exploits, escapes and escapades in a tank and a helicopter and an outrageous group calling themselves the International Travelling Circus. And if he is not careful, the traitor's exit might also be his own.

The Miami syndicate wants his head. Every beautiful woman is a femme fatale. And Harry can survive only if he creates a giant Ponzi scheme of crimes that includes blowing up a cargo of old money meant for the U.S. Treasury, raiding a floating art gallery adrift in a sea full of sharks to sell on millions of dollars in fake art, double-crossing his own crew of thieves furiously scheming to double-cross him, and taking revenge for the murder of the most beautiful woman in the world not meant for Harry. Along the way, the Cuban mafia, a little girl with a pygmy circus elephant and a fabulous stripper — The Feathered Virgin — shove him toward a different kind of fortune and a hot new brand of crime.
