She's gone rogue … He'll live to keep her safe …

Seraphina Newsom isn't looking for vengeance … she wants justice. Three years ago, Sera's brother was ruthlessly gunned down by one of Brooklyn's most dangerous mob kingpins. The investigation has stalled out, deemed "too dangerous" by the police commissioner. So to track down the evidence she needs to take down her brother's killer, Sera turns in her hospital scrubs, joins the NYPD, and goes undercover. Unsanctioned. Alone.

With his father behind bars, Bowen Driscol has reluctantly taken over his family's sprawling South Brooklyn crime operation. New York's finest have other plans. By threatening the safety of his sister, they "convince" Bowen to extricate a rogue cop who's in over her head. But when he meets Sera and feels that deep, damning shiver of desire course through him, Bowen knows there's only one way to keep her safe without blowing either of their covers … by claiming her as his own.

Copy Cap Murder by Jenn McKinlay, A Scarlett Parker, Hat Shop Mystery (4th in series)

Publisher: Berkley

  

For Scarlett Parker, part of the fun of living in London is celebrating the British holidays, and she's excited to share her first Bonfire Night with her cousin Vivian Tremont. Invited to a posh party by their friend Harrison Wentworth, Scarlett and Viv decide to promote their hat shop, Mim's Whims, by donning a few of their more outrageous creations. The hats prove to be quite the conversation starters as the girls mix and mingle with the guests — never suspecting that one of them is a killer.

It's a cold, clear night, perfect for the British tradition of tossing a straw stuffed effigy of Guy Fawkes, traitor to the crown, onto the bonfire. But instead of a straw man, they realize in the heat of the moment that the would-be Guy Fawkes is actually Harrison's office rival and he's been murdered. Before the smoke has cleared, Harrison is the Metropolitan police's prime suspect, and Scarlett and Vivian must find the real homicidal hothead before their dear friend's life goes up in flames.

A Conversation with Diane Schulman

We are delighted to welcome Diane Schulman to Omnimystery News today.

Diane's late husband Martin is the author of The Conscience (CreateSpace; November 2014 trade paperback) and she is fulfilling a dream by having his mystery novel published posthumously. (You can read an excerpt from it, here.) We recently had the opportunity to spend some time with Diane to talk more about the book.

— ♦ —

Omnimystery News: What did Martin like best about the lead character of The Conscience?

Diane Schulman: What Martin liked about the lead character, Jack Goodwin, was his strong belief in justice and fairness and his complete willingness to go out of his way to help those in need, from something as simple as helping a child from being inadvertently knocked down by an overly enthusiastic puppy, to becoming immediately involved in helping the sheriff solve a mysterious theft and murder without even giving a thought to any harm that could come his way.

OMN: Into which genre would you place this book?

DS: I have characterized Martin's book as a mystery novel, thriller with romance. Since this is Martin's first (and sadly his last) novel, time will tell. I do feel as an avid and varied reader (emphasis on mysteries) that it is advantageous to know the type of book and genre as a good starting point.

OMN: What were some of Martin's outside interests?

DS: Martin was an artist who painted many beautiful paintings that I and the family treasure dearly. One of his (and my) favorite paintings is the "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and he decided to feature this prominently in the book. He also was very interested in computing for many years (on a personal basis) and also designed his own website. I believe this is why he had Jack be an expert in computing and gave him the career as an Internet Web Marshall (like just about everyone, Martin was not fond of hacking or, anyone taking advantage of people online, or anywhere for that matter).

OMN: When did he start writing The Conscience?

DS: For many years it was Martin's dream to write a mystery novel. One day he sat down at his computer and started furiously typing. Not wanting to interrupt him or disrupt his flow (he was typing way faster than usual and I was curious) I impatiently waited until he told me what he was doing. He was writing his first mystery novel! This was one of the most happiest I'd ever seen him in a work atmosphere. He did not outline a plot or anything like that. He just kept writing. He let the story flow and develop.

OMN: Did any specific author or authors influence how Martin wrote?

DS: One of Martin's influences was Lee Child (of the Jack Reacher books). You will see some of this in the descriptive writings of the particularly tense scenes of the book. He was also a fan of Clive Cussler, James Patterson (the Alex Cross series), and David Baldacci (we both were fans of these authors — I still am).

— ♦ —

This is the first novel by Martin Schulman who was known as the Father of Karmic Astrology with more than 50 books published in English and foreign editions worldwide and sales eclipsing over hundreds of thousands of copies sold. The Conscience, a mystery novel encompassing themes of karma and redemption, was Martin's fulfillment of a lifetime work empowering audiences of all kinds to enrich their lives with the lessons from this story. Unfortunately, he passed from this earth plane recently.

The Conscience by Martin Schulman

A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: CreateSpace

Jack is on vacation from his job as Internet Web Marshal. He has come to a small museum to see a special exhibit of paintings on loan from The Hague in The Netherlands. No sooner does he meet a woman viewing a 17th century masterpiece, when all hell breaks loose. The museum's ceiling is falling and Jack becomes embroiled in the most dangerous and baffling case of a mysterious murder.

Without any weapon or clue to go on, we soon find out that nothing is at it seems, as Jack gets drawn into a mystifying web of intrigue that spans two continents and three centuries, unexpectedly leading him into the beautiful eyes of Sophia who brings him to a deep transformational experience he wasn't prepared for.

This fast-paced mystery action thriller gives us a glimpse into what happens when a billionaire's drastic decision causes 5,200-mile shock waves that set the paths of the cleverest evil genius and the unsuspecting lives of innocents on a collision course. All are bound together by Johannas Vermeer's Dutch Master Painting, "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and are forced to face the enormous inimitable power of The Conscience.

Devil Said Bang by Richard Kadrey

A Sandman Slim Thriller (4th in series)

Publisher: Harper Voyager

Kindle Daily Deal Price: $1.99

Getting out of hell is just the beginning …

What do you do after you've escaped Hell, and then gone back, uncovered the true nature of God, and then managed to become the new Lucifer?

Well, if you're James Stark, you have to figure out how to run Hell while also trying to get back out of it (again). Plus there's the small matter of surviving. Because everyone in Heaven, Hell, and in between wants to be the fastest gun in the universe, and the best way to do so is to take down Lucifer, a.k.a. James Stark.

And it's not like being in L.A. is any better — a serial killer ghost is running wild, Stark's angelic alter ego is hiding among the lost days of time with a secret cabal who can rewrite reality, and starting to care for people and life again is a real bitch for a stone-cold killer.

There's something in our water …

Or so believes muck-raking journalist Owen Fisher. He's giving a speech on campus when two cops burst in and slap him in cuffs. They won't tell him why, but he can only assume that his latest article went viral, the one in which he accused the world's largest company of selling toxic water.

If Fisher is wrong, merely one life is over: his own.

But if Fisher is right, millions will suffer, for the world as it stands is on the brink of collapse.

Kiera wants to put her past aside, but when one of the house guests is murdered, her brother-in-law asks her to utilize her knowledge of human anatomy to aid the insufferable Sebastian Gage — a fellow guest with some experience as an inquiry agent. While Gage is clearly more competent than she first assumed, Kiera isn't about to let her guard down as accusations and rumors swirl.

When Kiera and Gage's search leads them to even more gruesome discoveries, a series of disturbing notes urges Lady Darby to give up the inquiry. But Kiera is determined to both protect her family and prove her innocence, even as she risks becoming the next victim …
