Brother Fritz wants to sell. Sister Petra wants to expand. The Bircher family has manufactured cookies in the picturesque Swiss canton of Schwyz since the late 1800s. And Annie Young-Perret was warned, when she took an assignment to write a history of the company, about the ongoing sibling feud over control of its future.

When Fritz is found shot to death, the police arrest Petra. Petra hires Annie's French husband, an ex-police detective, to prove her innocence, and Annie can't resist helping. Fritz had been negotiating with a firm specializing in buying and stripping other companies, but his murder happened before the sale was complete. The company lawyer tries to replace the jailed Petra with a manager who will move ahead with the deal. The employees, however, own enough stock to rebel. They put the popular marketing manager Brett Windsor, an American, in control. As clues accumulate, Annie's instincts are telling her who killed Fritz — but her plan for a confrontation may be deadly.

The Tau Ceti Transmutation by Alex P. Berg

A Rich Week Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Batdog Press

Price: 99¢ (as of 09/23/2016 at 4:00 PM ET).

  

For private eye Rich Weed, the smart thing to do would've been to say no. No to the heart-stoppingly beautiful woman who sauntered through the front door. No to the case that smelled fishier than a Venusian squid farm. No to the thief who left behind more than he made off with. But no one's ever accused Rich of taking the easy path in life — or the smart one.

Now Rich is stuck in the thick of it, bouncing between clues as he tries to unravel a bizarre case of religious brainwashing — one that leads him from the mandibles of waffle-loving aliens to the unwashed hands of half-baked hippies and back. As the mystery thickens, only one thing is clear: as lovely as the client was, he really should've told her no.

Eliminating suspects and finding the real killer among a group of strangers that include a ghost crazy matron, a mysterious maid that appears only to Shannon, and a creepy recluse professor, proves to be more of a challenge than Shannon expects.

The Kept Woman by Karin Slaughter, New in Bookstores during September 2016

Today's featured new hardcover mystery, suspense, or thriller title scheduled to be published during September 2016 is …

The Kept Woman by Karin Slaughter, a Will Trent Mystery (6th in series)

Publisher: William Morrow

 

With the discovery of a murder at an abandoned construction site, Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is brought in on a case that becomes much more dangerous when the dead man is identified as an ex-cop.

Studying the body, Sara Linton — the GBI's newest medical examiner and Will's lover — realizes that the extensive blood loss didn't belong to the corpse. Sure enough, bloody footprints leading away from the scene indicate there is another victim — a woman — who has vanished … and who will die soon if she isn't found.

Will is already compromised, because the site belongs to the city's most popular citizen: a wealthy, powerful, and politically connected athlete protected by the world's most expensive lawyers — a man who's already gotten away with rape, despite Will's exhaustive efforts to put him away.

But the worst is yet to come. Evidence soon links Will's troubled past to the case … and the consequences will tear through his life with the force of a tornado, wreaking havoc for Will and everyone around him, including his colleagues, family, friends — and even the suspects he pursues.

But the guy who stalks him across town at night, the two thugs waiting in the alley, and a ruthless FBI agent let him know his days are numbered if he doesn't turn over the money Charlie stole. The problem is, Russ doesn't have it.

No … The problem is, Russ is smarter than his enemies. The problem is, that girl Charlie left behind is worth more to Russ than the money. Russell Fitzpatrick is a man on the edge, and he doesn't like being pushed around. Russ' enemies have a problem.

December Boys by Joe Clifford

A Jay Porter Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Oceanview Publishing

Kindle Daily Deal Price: 99¢

Jay Porter, the newest employee at NorthEastern Insurance in New Hampshire, is investigating an accident claim when he learns the teenager behind the wheel was arrested for minor drug possession and sentenced to a hardcore behavioral modification center. At the county courthouse, Jay meets Nicki, a young college intern, who tips him off to a possible scandal — first-time juvenile offenders being shipped to private institutions for political kickbacks. He learns that long-time family nemeses, Adam and Michael Lombardi, may have a stake in the scheme.

Is Jay's mission to help these kids a legitimate crusade? Or is his thirst for revenge driven by the guilt he feels over his own junkie brother's death? These questions conspire to tear apart tranquility and drive a wedge between Jay and his wife Jenny. With help from new friend Nicki, and a couple of old friends, Jay finds himself thrust back into a past he had hoped to leave behind, putting everything — and everyone he loves — at risk in pursuit of the truth.
