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

Invasion by Jay Bonansinga, a The Walking Dead Mystery (6th in series)

Publisher: St. Martin's Press

    

Underground, in the labyrinth of ancient tunnels and mine shafts, Lilly Caul and her motley crew of senior citizens, misfits, and children struggle to build a new life. But a secret ambition still burns in Lilly's heart and soul. She wants her beloved town of Woodbury back from the plague of walkers, and now the only thing that stands in her way currently roams the wasted backwaters of Georgia …

Way out in the hinterlands, amidst the rising tide of walkers that seem to be pushing in from all directions, the psychotic Reverend Jeremiah Garlitz rebuilds his army of followers with a diabolical secret weapon. He has designs on the destruction of Lilly and her crew — the very people who vanquished his cultish church — and now, for the first time, he has the means to bring a special brand of hell down upon the tunnel dwellers.

The final confrontation between these two human factions unleashes an unthinkable weapon — forged from the monstrous hordes of undead, perfected by a madman, and soaked in the blood of innocents.

— Invasion by Jay Bonansinga

Angelina Baroni was about to testify against her mafia kingpin father until she received a threat to her life — despite the protection of US Marshal Dylan McKnight. Deciding she's safer on her own, she leaves witness protection and goes into hiding. Three years later, the duty-dedicated marshal is the last man she expects to see when she wakes up in a hospital after someone attempts to kill her. Dylan knows he can't afford to trust Angelina. Still, he'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe from the mobsters on her trail. But Dylan has only a few days to accomplish his most difficult mission: defuse Angelina's doubts about testifying and win her heart before their time runs out.

Facing insurmountable odds Jane sets out to settle the score with fierce determination, and a few tricks up her sleeve.

Unfortunately, so is a serial killer, who terrorizes her city of 150,000 with a series of brutal murders staged to look like the childhood board games Emily played growing up on Chicago's Southwest Side. The killer is clearly someone from her past.

The killer promises to make Emily play for real: Hanging by the neck till she's dead, dead, dead, to fulfill his psychopathic need to murder her.

But, Emily and her pals have far different plans for him and her birthday celebration …

Having literally left their marks all over the city, Metro cannot help but be reminded of Rust everywhere she goes, making it impossible for her to move past the tragedy.

Heartbroken and alone, she becomes determined to get to the bottom of her partner's death and to exact revenge on those responsible by using the tool she knows best: spray paint. As she fights to bomb the system, she is constantly — and harshly — reminded of how unfair life can be. Up against lies, betrayal, and corruption, Metro musters the strength and inspiration to persevere in the name of truth and by adding beauty to an ugly world.
