Fourteen years ago, high school track star Sydney Adams was gunned down in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park. The investigation yielded useless clues, and the case went cold. But homicide detective Augustus Knox never gave up on finding Sydney's killer. Now, retired from the police force and with only months to live, he enlists the help of private investigator Jocelyn Rush to clear the case once and for all.

Armed with little more than a theory as to who murdered Sydney, Jocelyn tries to lure a killer into the open. But unraveling the mystery means facing off against a cunning psychopath whose ruthlessness knows no bounds. When more bodies start to pile up, Jocelyn has to decide just how far she's willing to go to catch a cold-blooded killer.

The Chessman by Dolores Gordon-Smith, New in Bookstores during December 2015

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

The Chessman by Dolores Gordon-Smith, a Jack Haldean Mystery (9th in series)

Publisher: Severn House

 

The message consisted of one neatly typewritten line: I am killing you slowly. You are going to die. The Chessman.

Isabelle Stanton and Sue Castradon always arranged the flowers in the village church on Fridays. But Sue was glad to escape the church that morning. She had rowed over breakfast with her husband Ned, who bitterly resented her association — however fleeting — with the handsome Simon Vardon. Sue didn't think things could get worse — until she opened the cupboard …

When a mutilated corpse is discovered in the sleepy village of Croxton Ferriers, Jack Haldean finds an odd clue at the scene of the crime: a black marble chess knight with crystal eyes. Is murder just a game? It could be — to a killer who calls himself The Chessman.

— The Chessman by Dolores Gordon-Smith

Dick Moonlight can't help himself. Moonlight, the private detective known as the head case with a bullet lodged in his brain, should be grateful for his current job. But when it becomes clear the cash-starved brain surgeon he's been hired to drive around is protecting his son from a rape conviction, Moonlight is disgusted.

Worse, when the charges turn into a case of "reckless murder," Moonlight's the only one trying to keep the kid from the electric chair though the girl — a state senator's daughter — clearly committed suicide. Then Moonlight and his unwilling assistant, a fat Elvis impersonator owing him money, stumble into a much bigger plot and are soon dodging Hollywood obsessed drug-running Russian thugs, corrupt government officials, and the specter of Moonlight's recently diseased girlfriend.

Both jobs take a back seat when a strange woman shows up in town at the bookstore, and a short time later, Jo discovers a body in the backroom. The death is quickly ruled an accident, but Jo suspects foul play.

Take the numerous suspects, mix them with the Buxley legend of stolen Confederate gold, and you have a romp through a week with Jo as she attempts to prove the murder, overcome her fear of Glenn's basement, and help open Estelle's Emporium of Wonders.

A Stillness in Bethlehem, A Gregor Demarkian, Holiday Mystery by Jane Haddam, Now Available at a Special Price

Omnimystery News is always searching for newly discounted mystery, suspense, thriller and crime novels for our readers to enjoy.

Today, we're pleased to present the following title, now available at a special price courtesy of the publisher, Open Road …

A Stillness in Bethlehem by Jane Haddam

A Gregor Demarkian, Holiday Mystery (7th in series)

Publisher: Open Road

Price: $1.99 (as of 12/11/2015 at 8:00 PM ET).

  

In a small New England town, a Christmas controversy is grounds to kill …

Bethlehem, Vermont, is a sleepy little town, distinguished from the neighboring hamlets by its Christmas pageant. The holiday spectacular dates back generations; as the village's only tourist attraction, it brings in much of the money that keeps Bethlehem afloat. The festivities are held on publicly owned land, which might be a slight violation of the separation of church and state, but no one has ever complained until Tish Verek comes to town.

Verek is a true-crime writer from New York, and not long after she kicks up a fuss about the pageant, she's shot dead in an apparent hunting accident. Anyone in Bethlehem could have fired the fatal bullet, and it's up to ex — FBI investigator Gregor Demarkian to decide which Christmas-obsessed villager is really a grinch in disguise.
