When a skeleton is unearthed in a field next to East Plains High School, math teacher Bonnie Pinkwater is thrust into a three-decade-old murder.

As her once considerable gifts of memory and deduction are eroded by the trauma of loss, Bonnie must solve a thirty-year-old cold case before the killer decides the best way to remain free is to add one female mathematician to his list of victims.

Review: Gone Cold by Douglas Corleone

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

A Mysterious Review of Gone Cold by Douglas Corleone. A Simon Fisk Thriller.

Review summary: This is an interesting, if not always suspenseful entry in this series. There are plenty of twists and turns in the plot and the action moves forward at a brisk pace. And yet, it seems as if there should be something else, something more, to the lead character's journey, with a relatively weak payoff at the end. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Simon Fisk Thriller
Minotaur Books (August 2015)

Publisher synopsis: Twelve years after a kidnapping destroyed former US Marshal Simon Fisk's family, he is newly determined to find the people responsible for taking his then-six-year-old daughter. He refuses to step away from the cold case, even after enduring months of dead ends and frustration.

And then, at last, he gets a break. On a brutal January night, Simon finds an urgent message on his computer. Attached are two images: one, a computer-generated image of Hailey Fisk had she reached eighteen years of age; the second, a sketch of a young woman wanted for murder in the Ireland. There are striking similarities. Within a matter of hours, Simon is on a flight to Dublin, setting off to find a girl who may be Hailey Fisk-before she's arrested for murder.

The chase will lead Simon through the UK and Ireland, where he learns secrets that have been kept far longer than the twelve years Hailey has been missing. It's Dublin where Simon hopes to find the people responsible for his daughter's disappearance and his wife's suicide. There he hopes to hold them accountable for what they've done. And, most importantly, it is there that Simon hopes to find Hailey, to bring her home once and for all.

A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: booksBnimble

Price: 99¢ (as of 09/20/2015 at 6:00 PM ET).

Fault Tree by Michaela Thompson, Amazon Kindle format

"Placing blame" thinks Marina Robinson, "is my life's work. And why?" There's a lot in her past to account for — nightmares and terrors, crimes and betrayals that happened half a world away, ten years go. Now she's an engineer with a great job. She's a failure analyst, an investigator who figures out what causes accidents, and she's working on her most fascinating case — the fatal crash of a roller coaster — when suddenly the phone rings. And her world tilts …

The elusive, unidentified caller can be only one person — Catherine, her beloved younger sister who supposedly died in a fire ten years ago. Once again — for the moment abandoning her case — Marina is inexorably drawn back to India, the country that seduced her so long ago in so many ways, where something unspeakable happened to a child, and where she herself participated in misdeeds so shocking she can't forgive herself. She starts by tracking Catherine's lost lover, Nagarajan, the irresistibly charismatic guru under whose spell Catherine fell those many years ago, a man so dangerous, so full of hubris he took his name from Indian snake gods, and who at times seemed more serpent than human. But who is also reportedly dead — a suicide in a jail cell.

Thus begins an odyssey of fear and danger. Far from dead, Nagarajan seems to be everywhere, and so do his disciples (at least those who haven't gone mad from guilt). Nowhere, it seems, is Marina safe, nor is anyone who knows anything about the young victim of Nagarajan's atrocities. Wherever she turns, the path seems strewn with fresh bodies.

He's hired Driscoll Investigations to prove his innocence and they have only thirteen days to accomplish it. Talk about being tried in the media. Everyone in town is sure Roger Fitch strangled his girlfriend with one of his silk neckties. And then there's the local TMZ wannabes — The Scoop — stalking Giulia and her client for sleazy sound bites.

On top of all that, her assistant's first baby is due any second, her scary smart admin still doesn't relate well to humans, and her police detective husband insists her client is guilty. About this marriage thing — it's unknown territory, but it sure beats ten years of living with 150 nuns.

Giulia's ownership of Driscoll Investigations hasn't changed her passion for justice from her convent years. But the more dirt she digs up, the more she's worried her efforts will help a murderer escape. As the client accuses DI of dragging its heels on purpose, Giulia thinks The Silk Tie Killer might be choosing one of his ties for her own neck.
