Hostile Takeover by Shane Kuhn, a John Lago Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Simon & Schuster

    

John Lago tracks down his nemesis Alice but instead of putting a bullet in her head, he puts a ring on her finger and marries her. Together, they execute a hostile takeover of Human Resources, Inc., the "placement agency" that trains young assassins to infiltrate corporations disguised as interns and knock off high profile targets. As HR's former top operatives, they are successful until conflicting management styles cause an ugly breakup that locks John out of the bedroom and the boardroom.

But when Alice takes on a new HR target, John is forced to return to the office battlefield in a role he swore he would never play again: the intern. What starts out as a deadly showdown turns into the two of them fighting side by side to save HR, Inc. — and their marriage.

But mostly, he needs to know what happened to Simon, his strangest and most gifted friend, who died under mysterious circumstances soon after Black Arts' breakout hit.

As the company's revolutionary next-gen game is threatened by a software glitch, Russell finds himself in a race to save his job, Black Arts' legacy, and the people he has grown to care about. The deeper Russell digs, the more dangerous the glitch appears — and soon, Russell comes to realize there's much more is at stake than just one software company's bottom line.

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.

All of which bring on a headache hot enough to spark a fire. Solving her problems means stealing a car. From a dingbat lawyer.

Bellissimo Resort and Casino Super Spy Davis Way has three goals: Keep the Sanders family out of prison, regain her footing in her relationship, and find the genius who wrote the software for futureGaming. One of which, the manhunt one, is iffy. Because when Alabama hides someone, they hide them good.

The Naked Eye by Iris Johansen and Roy Johansen, A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: St. Martin's Press

    

Kendra Michaels was instrumental in bringing serial killer Eric Colby to justice. And yet, despite his apparent execution at San Quentin, Kendra is convinced that Colby is still alive. The problem is that she can't prove it. Even her razor-sharp powers of observation — developed to an amazing capacity during the twenty years she spent blind and now in constant demand by law enforcement agencies — have gotten her nowhere.

But then a reporter who very publicly humiliated Kendra is murdered. Visiting the crime scene in search of anything that might link the brutal homicide to Colby, Kendra instead finds evidence that points to her. Finally Colby's master plan becomes clear to her: he is framing Kendra for murder.

Suspicions mount and Kendra is thrust into deadly pursuit to clear her name and catch the killer no one believes exists anymore. A killer who is always nearby, watching, waiting to make his next move, even as everyone believes him to be dead. A killer whose trail of destruction is invisible to the naked eye, despite the carnage he leaves in his wake. It will take everything Kendra has to find and stop Colby — and save her own life one more time.

Sheltered by HelenKay Dimon

Series: Corcoran Team: Bulletproof Bachelors

Imprint: Intrigue

  

She'd always preferred handling things on her own. Until a sexy undercover agent stepped in to protect her.

Strong and silent Holt Kingston has one mission: to infiltrate a dangerous cult with more firepower than faith. But when the compound's ruthless leader has a gorgeous former member in his sights, single-minded Holt won't rest until the mesmerizing Lindsey Pike is safe.

After living undercover for years helping others flee, Lindsey isn't used to someone else calling the shots. Not even someone as capable and captivating as Holt. But now someone knows she's back — and wants her captured. Maybe even killed. As the cult slowly closes in on them, Lindsey can no longer hide how much Holt's protection soothes her peace of mind. And heals her wounded heart.
