The Mariachi Murder by Marie Romero Cash

A Jemimah Hodge Mystery (4th in series)

Publisher: Camel Press

Price: $4.95 (as of 12/23/2015 at 4:30 PM ET).

  

A popular mariachi singer is found shot and buried south of Santa Fe near Cerrillos, putting him in the jurisdiction of Detective Rick Romero and Forensic Psychologist Jemimah Hodge. Eduardo Sanchez had a massive ego that could well have gotten him killed, considering his penchant for reckless womanizing. However, as the weeks pass, the trail grows cold, increasing the pressure on law enforcement. Was the mariachi killed by a spurned girlfriend or an angry husband? Why was he traveling back and forth between Santa Fe and Mexico?

Although Rick and Jemimah have been dating for two years, they have yet to commit. So when Rick's beautiful ex-wife breezes into town and makes a play for him, she stirs up trouble all around. Meanwhile Jemimah receives her own unwelcome visitor: a friend of her FLDS family who's tracked her down and wants to dredge up the past. To add to the drama, Detective Romero's wayward ex-con brother Carlos lands in deep trouble when he hooks up with a woman hiding her checkered past. When the clues come together, they intersect in volatile ways no one could have foreseen.

The Neon Lawyer by Victor Methos

A Legal Thriller

Publisher: Thomas & Mercer

Price: $1.99 (as of 12/23/2015 at 4:00 PM ET).

  

With money and hope in short supply, newly minted attorney Brigham Theodore decides it's time to lower his standards. He joins a seedy fly-by-night firm in Salt Lake City out of desperation. After he loses his first case — a speeding ticket — he's convinced his career is over. But to his shock, his boss hands him a slightly more complex case: capital murder.

Brigham's new client is Amanda Pierce, a lost, exhausted woman who gunned down the man who tortured and killed her six-year-old daughter. A jury may prove sympathetic to her unbearable pain, but the law is no fan of vigilante justice — and neither is Vince Dale, the slick and powerful prosecutor who's never lost a murder case. There's no question that Amanda pulled the trigger — she did it in front of five witnesses. If she pleads guilty, she will avoid a death sentence, but saving her life this way comes with an admission that what she did was wrong. However, if she refuses the "guilty" label, Brigham will have no choice but to fight for his career — and Amanda's life.

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

The Night Charter by Sam Hawken, A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: Mulholland Books

 

Exactly one year ago, Camaro Espinoza killed five bad men in New York City and fled town. Now she's keeping a low profile in Miami, running night charter catch-and-release fishing trips off the coast. It's a simple life for a former combat medic. But it wasn't easy to come by. Camaro plans to do everything she can to hold onto it.

Trouble comes knocking in the form of Parker Story, a man in over his head with all the wrong people. Parker wants to book Camaro's boat to run a small errand off the coast of Cuba. Camaro knows she shouldn't get involved. But Parker's got a teenaged daughter named Lauren, and Parker's associates have threatened to harm her if the mission doesn't go off without a hitch. Camaro has never met the girl. Barely seen her picture. But that doesn't mean she can ignore her plight.

Camaro's used to being wanted — by men good and bad, by soldiers wounded on the field of battle, by the long arm of the law. But she's never been needed before. Not the way Lauren needs her. Joining forces with Parker, Camaro soon finds herself in the midst of double crosses, international intrigue, broken promises and scattered bullets. Even a skilled warrior like herself may not be able to escape unscathed.

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

The Glass-Sided Ants' Nest by Peter Dickinson

A James Pibble Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Open Road

Price: $1.99 (as of 12/23/2015 at 1:00 PM ET).

  

Also published as Skin Deep, this novel was the winner of the 1968 CWA Gold Dagger for Best Crime Novel.

The murder of the leader of a pygmy tribe introduces us to James Pibble, the Scotland Yard superintendent with a knack for solving the most extraordinary of crimes …

Oddball cases are James Pibble's specialty. But the brutal bludgeoning of the revered elder of a New Guinea tribesman may be his strangest yet.

The corpse, in striped pajamas, lies in the middle of a room completely absent of furniture. Seven women squat on the floorboards. One knits. Another sits cross-legged at his feet. They all chant incantations in a strange language. The murder weapon, a wooden balustrade ornament in the shape of an owl, could have been wielded by any of the myriad suspects Pibble meets at Flagg Terrace, the London residence where the Ku family currently lives. And the only clue seems to be an Edwardian penny.

So who killed bearded, four-foot-tall Aaron Ku? Everyone seems to have an alibi, including a local real estate agent, a professional escort, and an anthropologist whose marriage into the tribe was forbidden. In a house where men and women live in separate quarters, Pibble must follow a hierarchy of primitive rituals and gender-role reversals to unmask a surprising killer.

Max Barrett is an operative for the military's most top secret intelligence unit, Black Wolf. Driven hard by events from his past, Barrett's new assignment is to lead a team that will secretly protect Sara, the President's only daughter, during a U.N. humanitarian trip to Nigeria. Problem is, the Secret Service does not want him anywhere near the First Daughter … and there's evil afoot. Their infighting stops when she is kidnapped during a deadly ambush. Worse yet, her true identity was kept hidden on this trip. That tells Barrett one very bad thing: an insider has to be involved.

Alone and cut off from his normal resources, Barrett is forced to use all of his skills, experience, and contacts — including a few shady characters from way outside the intelligence community — in a race against time to save Sara's life. The kidnappers' trail leads Barrett on a worldwide hunt, through a labyrinth of clues that reveals a chilling truth: the kidnapping was only a small part of a much more devious plan. A plan with the ultimate goal of destabilizing the world.

On Detective Matt Jones's first night working Homicide in LA, he's called to investigate a particularly violent murder case: a man has been gunned down in a parking lot off Hollywood Boulevard, his bullet-riddled body immediately pegged as the work of a serial robber who has been haunting the Strip for months. Driven by the grisliness of the killing, Jones and his hot-tempered partner, Denny Cabrera, jump headfirst into the investigation.

But as Jones uncovers evidence that links the crime to a brutal, ritualized murder that occurred eighteen months prior, he begins to suspect that there's more going on beneath the surface. When Jones discovers shocking, deep-seated corruption; a high-level cover-up; and his own personal ties to the rising body count, he's no longer sure he can trust anyone, even himself.

Mandy's life is action-packed. First, her RV floods, waking her up. Then she finds herself in a sea of ailing cattle after a cattle truck has been struck by a train. Recovering from the drama of that disaster, Mandy then has to treat over ten dogs who all get overdosed with cattle pour on. Trying to take a break from it all, she takes Lyle, her constant companion and Border collie, to a farm to frolic with sheep. Instead of a day off, she discovers a body, which turns out to be the most mysterious murder the Crestview police department has ever seen.

The cause of death takes days to determine, since there was no murder weapon or wound on a perfectly healthy, but dead body. Mandy's reluctance to stay in Crestview is pushed aside as she devotes herself to solving this murder. Her dedication to the case finally leads her to the murder weapon, motive, and murderer. The question is, will she rat the murderer out before he or she kills her?
