The Bloomsday Dead by Adrian McKinty

The Bloomsday Dead by Adrian McKinty

A Michael Forsythe Mystery (3rd in series)

Publisher: Scribner

Kindle Daily Deal Price: $1.99

The Bloomsday Dead by Adrian McKinty, Amazon Kindle format

Laying low in South America, Michael has been running security for the Miraflores Hilton in Lima, Peru, juggling temperamental tourists, irksome dignitaries, and the occasional lady of the night. But Michael's colorful life in Lima comes to a violent halt with the arrival of two Colombian hit men who trap him in one of the hotel's rooms and force him at gunpoint to take a call from Bridget Callaghan in Ireland.

Michael and Bridget have a lot of history. For one, they used to be lovers. For another, Michael killed Bridget's husband. Bridget offers Michael a terrible choice: come find my daughter, or my men will kill you — now.

Michael arrives in Dublin on Bloomsday, June 16th, the date that James Joyce's Ulysses takes place — but whether this coincidence augurs well for him or foretells his end can't yet be known. In the span of this single day, he penetrates the heart of an IRA network, is kidnapped, escapes, then worms his way into the criminal underground in search of the missing girl. Never certain who to trust, Michael keeps his revolver close at hand — and doesn't hesitate to use it — outsmarting at every turn any number of determined would-be assassins.

Before the day is out, on a windswept ocean cliff, Michael finds himself face-to-face with the kidnappers as well as the lovely and murderous Bridget. It is there that he must finally confront a series of shocking truths — not just about others but, above all, about himself as well.

But at her funeral, when he has a terrifying vision of her, his world begins to rip apart at the seams.

Convinced that Emily's appearance was more than just a mere hallucination, Daniel begins to look carefully into her death, even as he increasingly loses the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality.

Review: The Redeemers by Ace Atkins

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

A Mysterious Review of The Redeemers by Ace Atkins. A Quinn Colson Mystery.

Review summary: This is a well-written, if incredibly slow moving, crime novel. Taken as a character study, there is some appeal here, but the overall story really isn't all that compelling and seems to serve mostly as a means of bringing closure to a few plot points from previous books in the series. Probably best suited for fans of the series. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Redeemers Ace Atkins

The Redeemers
Ace Atkins
A Quinn Colson Mystery
Putnam (July 2015)

Available from Amazon.comAvailable from Barnes & NobleAvailable from iTunesAvailable from Kobo

Publisher synopsis: He is only in his early thirties, but now Quinn Colson is jobless — voted out of office as sheriff of Tibbehah County, Mississippi, thanks to the machinations of county kingpin Johnny Stagg. He has offers, in bigger and better places, but before he goes, he's got one more job to do — bring down Stagg's criminal operations for good.

At least that's the plan. But in the middle of the long, hot summer, a trio of criminals stage a bold, wall-smashing break-in at the home of a local lumber mill owner, making off with a million dollars in cash from his safe, which is curious, because the mill owner is wealthy — but not that wealthy. None of this has anything to do with Colson, but during the investigation, two men are killed, one of them the new sheriff. His friend, acting sheriff Lillie Virgil, and a dangerous former flame, Anna Lee Stevens, both ask him to step in, and reluctantly he does, only to discover that that safe contained more than just money — it held secrets.

Secrets that could either save Colson — or destroy him once and for all.

Collection by Shawn Kobb, Amazon Kindle format

Disgraced ex-cop Rocket Malone makes a living collecting the memories of the rich. How does he do it? Simple. He cracks open their skulls and yanks out the implanted hardware. It pays the bills. At least, it would if he wasn't swimming in gambling debts.

Called to the scene of a grisly murder, Rocket runs into a small problem. His client's head is missing, along with the memories it contains. A beautiful woman, a mysterious foreigner, and an eccentric billionaire all believe Rocket can find the missing memories, and each is willing to pay dearly for the information.

Finding this dead man's memories just might be the solution to Rocket's problems.

And if Rocket can't find the missing head in time? The people who've hired him aren't the sort who take "no" for an answer.

An Eoin Miller Mystery (3rd in series)

Publisher: Thomas & Mercer

Price: $1.99 (as of 10/08/2015 at 5:00 PM ET).

Lost City by Jay Stringer, Amazon Kindle format

Even though he's worked his way to the top of the West Midlands criminal heap as right-hand man to crime boss Veronica Gaines, ex-cop Eoin Miller still has to deal with the dregs of the underworld to earn his pay. That's why he's dispatched to a low-end hotel to work damage control after a hooker kills a local lowlife. But when one of his comrades is mysteriously murdered at the scene, and a suspicious fire claims two more victims, a simple clean-up job turns absolutely filthy.

Hustling to hide bodies and seek answers, Eoin calls on friends and foes alike, including his estranged wife: a shady cop who's a little of both. But the scheme he uncovers gives him a bad feeling in his gut that even his diet of pills and sex can't soothe. Add an ice-cold hit man, a feeble but still ferocious gang lord, vengeful cops, pornography, prostitution, Gypsy patriarchs, and personal demons, and you've got a combustible cocktail of treachery that could blow Eoin Miller's life sky-high.

The USS Vicksburg is returning home when the crew comes upon a lifeboat bearing a dead Somali pirate who shows signs of torture. Questions immediately arise: Who is this man, and which ship did he come from? Who tortured him? Soon Red Cell analysts Kyra Stryker and Jonathan Burke have traced the dead man back to an Iranian ship currently bound for Venezuela — and the ship appears to have dangerous, radioactive cargo on board.

The Iranians' plan quickly becomes clear — they're building a nuclear bomb in politically unstable Venezuela, away from the UN's prying eyes. Stryker and Burke must tread carefully, though, because diplomacy in Venezuela is tricky at best. A civil war is at stake if word gets out. Can they stop the Iranians before it's too late?
