The Pistol Poets by Victor Gischler

A Crime Novel

Publisher: Delacorte Press

Price: 99¢ (as of 08/03/2016 at 7:00 PM ET).

  

An unlucky grad student just got himself killed in a robbery gone bad. And as lowly drug lieutenant Harold Jenks races with the killer out of the alley, a light goes off in his head: He'll steal the dead kid's identity. Now Jenks, who once lorded it over seven square blocks in East St. Louis, is headed due west. With a .32 in his pocket, a 9mm Glock taped across his back, and a rap sheet nearly as long as Finnegans Wake, he's cruising the halls of academia as Eastern Oklahoma U's newest grad student, looking for action and hoping he can stay one couplet ahead of his violent past.

While this new bad boy on campus makes mincemeat of his metaphors, across campus visiting professor Jay Morgan has a more pressing problem: What to do about the dead coed in his bed. The professor's no killer, but try telling that to private eye Deke Stubbs. With the professor on the lam and Stubbs hot on his trail, more trouble blows into town. Now, as St. Louis drug boss Red Zach and his minions converge on Fumbee, Oklahoma, looking for a consignment of missing cocaine, the bullets start flying faster than the zingers at a faculty hate fest. For Morgan and Jenks, now desperate fugitives from poetic justice, survival means learning new skills — and learning fast. Because if they find out they're bottom-of-the-class, that means they're already dead.

Publisher: Pocket Books

Price: $3.99 (as of 08/03/2016 at 6:00 PM ET).

  

For travel escort Emily Andrew and her fellow Iowans, aloha means "hello" to all the sun, surf, and scrumptious cuisine their Hawaiian cruise has to offer. But for Professor Dorian Smoker, a renowned expert on the legendary Captain Cook, aloha also means "good-bye" — as in "man overboard."

Sure, it could have been an accident. But Emily wonders if some guest with a grudge might have knocked off the opinionated professor. Or maybe it had something to do with that missing journal Nana's friend lent him — the one with the mysterious treasure map. Emily figures the map is probably a fake. But when another copy turns up, she and her friends take off, rafting down rivers and plunging through jungles to find the treasure themselves. Unfortunately, Professor Smoker's killer just might have the same idea. And this tropical heat wave could quickly turn into a crime wave …

Damian Green lives on Red Rock Island, a private island inside San Francisco Bay. His wife and children were murdered by a mistakenly released convict from Soledad Prison seven years ago. Now he occasionally assists the retired detective that solved the murders of his family and they have begun work on cold cases.

Through a variety of analytical processes he cut over 200 cold cases down to 5 that the detective has the greatest likelihood of solving. His ability to hack into a variety of databases gives the detective a boost when they focus on the first two of those five cases.

Meanwhile the notorious prison gang, the Aryan Brotherhood is known for their patience and their absolute drive to harm anyone that disrespects the gang. Even though it's been seven years since the detective killed the Brotherhood member that killed Damian's family, she's risen to the top of their hit list.

Damian also comes upon a teenager on the run from the men that kidnapped and possibly killed her parents. Damian finds just how good his island security system is consisting of a rich combination of MacGyver like inventions when he has to deploy it to save himself, the detective, and the teenager from the out-of-prison Brotherhood thugs.

Price: 99¢ (as of 08/03/2016 at 5:00 PM ET).

  

What do an underground Zionist cell, a Harlem drug dealer and the Russian mob have in common? Diamonds …

After an innocent Jewish woman is brutally stabbed in Central Park, Raja and Vinny head to New York to find out why. The case takes Raja undercover into the Harlem drug scene, and puts Vinny into a Russian strip club in Brighton Beach. Stirring the pot as only Raja and Vinny can do lands them both in danger and into the crosshairs of an international assassin known only as the Spider.

Raja's intuitive skills and Vinny's computer wizardry are tested, as they race to solve the girl's murder before more bodies, including their own, end up dead.

Neither the dark, tragic anti-hero nor the James Bond super-hero type, Raja Williams is a wealthy Oxford-educated PI of mixed Caribbean descent who possesses a strong empathic power and a sixth sense for evil that gives him headaches and steers him straight into trouble. His partner Vinny Moore is a gorgeous hipster geek who prefers hacking computers to haute couture.

Murder mysteries solved by mystery writers are boring. Mystery writers who are murder suspects — much more interesting. Especially if a poet, composer, artist and irascible old farmer have just as much motive and are equally annoying …

Carina Coffman has worked hard to fulfill her grandmother's dream of turning the family farm into an artist's retreat. She thought the only obstacles she had left to deal with were a disgruntled neighbor unhappy with her new venture, and training Larry the goat to stop head-butting his companions Curly and Moe.

When one of her guests ends up impaled by the longhorn of Ferdinand the taxidermied bull, however, she has her work cut out for her.

Crowned and Dangerous by Rhys Bowen, a Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie, Royal Spyness Mystery (10th in series)

Publisher: Berkley

 

With Darcy driving me out of London in a borrowed motor car, I soon discover that he isn't planning to introduce me to the pleasures of sinning in secret — as I had hoped — but to make me his wife!

Of course, there are some quibbles to be dealt with, such as my needing special permission from the King to marry a Roman Catholic and the question of where we might live after the honeymoon. Though he will inherit a title, Darcy is as broke as I am. Even his family's Irish castle has been sold to a rich American who now employes Darcy's father as a hired hand.

Throwing these cares to the wind, nothing could deter us from our mission — except perhaps the news that my future father-in-law has just been arrested. It seems the rich American was murdered and Darcy's father had more than enough motive to do the deed. With the elopement postponed, we head for Ireland where he insists he's innocent, and it's up to us to prove it — for better or worse.
