Before he slid into the MRI machine, Jake Bronson was just an ordinary guy with terminal cancer. But when an earthquake hits during the procedure, Jake staggers from the wreckage a profoundly changed man, now endowed with uncanny mental abilities.

An ocean away, Luciano Battista wants a piece of Jake's talent. Posing as a pioneering scientist, the terrorist leader has been conducting cerebral-implant experiments in a sinister quest to create a breed of super jihadist agents … and Jake's altered brain may be the key to his success. But Jake refuses to play the pawn in an unholy war — and when an innocent woman and autistic child are taken hostage to force his cooperation, he embarks on a jihad of his own. Jake and his band of loyal friends are thrust into a deadly chase that leads from the canals of Venice through Monte Carlo and finally to an ancient cavern in the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan — where Jake discovers that his newfound talents carry a hidden price that threatens the entire human race.

Even though retired captain Dillon Shaw had a distinguished career in the Cleveland Police Department, there is one case that still haunts him. Over a period of six years, a serial killer dubbed Scars and Strikes abducted and killed seven retired U.S. Army officers. For each victim, the killer sent a video of the victim to the police, tortured him for two days, and then murdered him. Ten years later — after the serial killer claimed his eighth victim — Dillon started his own undercover operation.

Cleveland's 8th precinct has received another video from Scars and Strikes. This time the victim is … Dillon Shaw. The cops at the precinct — including Dillon's grandson, Detective Fair Shaw — and the precinct's mysterious cleaning lady — Mabel Chen — must gather and analyze evidence and decipher clues to figure out where Dillon is being held captive. Will they be able to rescue him within 48 hours? Or will Dillon become Scars and Strikes' ninth victim? The clock is ticking …

Some sins won't wash away …

A summer of endless rain in the Peak District leaves the officers of Derbyshire's criminal investigation department with a problem. They have discovered a man's body lying in shallow water, but torrential downpours have swollen the rivers and flooded the roads, making travel difficult and forensic examination impossible.

And that's not all. The absence of Detective Cooper, on extended leave after an arson attack, has left a serious gap. Detective Fry is a reluctant temporary replacement, but now their makeshift team is about to be tested to the limit. The fatal events of one damp August night are likely to remain shrouded in mystery if they can't track down a car glimpsed only as a dark outline in the rain by a passerby.

When the drops turn into a deluge, loyalties among the officers will be put under intolerable strain as they try to solve their toughest case yet. And that's before it emerges that Detective Cooper is not at home recuperating, but has vanished into thin air …

A sunny evening, a tranquil garden — and an old man brutally gunned down on his doorstep …

In a pretty and tranquil town, a proposed superstore development has divided the population in an increasingly bitter war. The low-level aggression of bored youth that is generally tolerated has become sinister. The bloodied carcass of a sheep abandoned in the streets is more than just unpleasant vandalism, and teenage bikers, terrorizing a woman to the breaking point, are impossible to control.

When a second victim is killed in what seems like a random shooting, the fear in the town becomes palpable. Detective Fleming will not accept that the crimes are motiveless, but she struggles to make sense of the two murders when nothing makes sense anymore and no one will believe anything. Not even the truth.

Aunt Dimity and the Buried Treasure by Nancy Atherton, Amazon Kindle format

While exploring the attic in her cottage near the small English village of Finch, Lori Shepherd makes an extraordinary discovery: a gleaming gold and garnet bracelet that had once belonged to Aunt Dimity. When Lori shows the garnet bracelet to Aunt Dimity, it awakens poignant memories of a doomed romance in Aunt Dimity's youth in London after the War. Regretfully, Aunt Dimity asks Lori to do what she could not: return the bracelet to her unsuccessful suitor — setting Lori off on an adventure through London — and through history — to put a piece of Aunt Dimity's past to rest.

In the meantime, a new family has moved to Finch. The villagers are thrilled because their new neighbors are avid metal detectorists. Metal detectors soon become all the rage in Finch and the villagers unearth a lot of rubbish (some of it quite embarrassing) before one of them stumbles upon a trinket that could hold the key to the origin of Aunt Dimity's bracelet.

Is the bracelet a priceless and protected national treasure? Was Aunt Dimity's lovesick suitor a common thief? If so, how will Lori break the news to Aunt Dimity? And what will she do with the bracelet? As Lori searches for answers, she discovers an unexpected link between the buried treasure in the village and the treasure buried in Aunt Dimity's heart.

The Accountant (Warner Bros.)

Earlier this month Warner Bros. released a new poster (right; click for larger image) and trailer (below) for the suspense thriller The Accountant. The poster's tagline: "Calculate your choices."

Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) is a math savant with more affinity for numbers than people. Behind the cover of a small-town CPA office, he works as a freelance accountant for some of the world's most dangerous criminal organizations. With the Treasury Department's Crime Enforcement Division, run by Ray King (J.K. Simmons), starting to close in, Christian takes on a legitimate client: a state-of-the-art robotics company where an accounting clerk (Anna Kendrick) has discovered a discrepancy involving millions of dollars. But as Christian uncooks the books and gets closer to the truth, it is the body count that starts to rise.

Directed by Gavin O'Connor from an original screenplay by Bill Dubuque, The Accountant opens in theaters October 14th, 2016.

Grace Meredith is the CIA's most deadly assassin. Too bad she's gone off the grid and become a mercenary for hire.

Her mind and body are fragile, and she knows she's just a step away from breaking down completely.

Gabe Brennan holds the weight of the world on his shoulders. As one of the most brilliant black ops agents the CIA has ever employed, he knows it's no one's fault but his own that his child was gunned down in cold blood. He might not have been able to save his daughter, but he's determined to save his wife. He only has to find her first.

Sexual tension crackles between Gabe and Grace from the moment they're reunited, but between the man who is hunting them, a secret that's been buried for eighty years, and a turbulent past — the odds are stacked against them.
