Blind Goddess by Anne Holt

A Hanne Wilhelmsen Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Scribner

Price: $1.99 (as of 10/08/2016 at 7:00 PM ET).

  

A small-time drug dealer is found battered to death on the outskirts of the Norwegian capital, Oslo. A young Dutchman, walking aimlessly in central Oslo covered in blood, is taken into custody but refuses to talk. When he is informed that the woman who discovered the body, Karen Borg, is a lawyer, he demands her as his defender, although her specialty is civil, not criminal, law.

A couple of days later, Hansa Larsen, a lawyer of the shadiest kind, is found shot to death. Soon police officers Håkon Sand and Hanne Wilhelmsen establish a link between the two killings. They also find a coded message hidden in the murdered lawyer's apartment. Their maverick colleague in the drugs squad, Billy T., reports that a recent rumor in the drug underworld involves drug-dealing lawyers. Now the reason why the young Dutchman insisted on having Karen Borg as a defender slowly dawns on them: since she was the one to find and report the body, she is the only Oslo lawyer that cannot be implicated in the crime.

As the officers investigate, they uncover a massive network of corruption leading to the highest levels of government. As their lives are threatened, Hanne and her colleagues must find the killer and, in the process, bring the lies and deception out into the open.

The morgue give their verdict: murder, committed twenty years before.

Detective Chief Inspector Harry Feiffer of the Yellowthread Street police station is called in to investigate. The false teeth quickly identify the victim. But who killed him, buried him, and then dug him up again twenty years later only to set him adrift on a raft?

Black Magic Woman by Eric Wilder

A French Quarter Mystery (4th in series)

Publisher: Gondwana Press

Price: $2.99 (as of 10/08/2016 at 5:00 PM ET).

  

P.I. Wyatt Thomas is more than a French Quarter sleuth. Much more. Whenever a new client needs someone to investigate ghosts, psychic possession, or the paranormal and supernatural backside of New Orleans, Wyatt Thomas is the one to call.

Burdened by spring floods, malaria and yellow fever, citizens of pre-Civil War New Orleans, Louisiana often turned to voodoo practitioners — African Rosalie, Sanite Dede, Bras Coupe — for protection. None was more powerful, or feared, than Doctor John and Marie Laveau.

When psychic P.I. Detective Wyatt Thomas sees a ghost during a hospital visit, he tells his sometimes business partner, voodoo mambo Mama Mulate, about the encounter. Mama is lethally sensual, Wyatt a deadly sexy alpha male with a dangerous reputation. She trances the sleuth and channels his ghost, soon learning a curse connects him to a long-dead French aristocrat.

Wyatt begins a romance with a beautiful woman he may have known in another historical era. Together, they run the gamut of desire, carnal instincts, passion, darkest fears, and horrifying truths. It may all be for naught because he and the ghost are doomed to remain connected forever unless he time travels back to old New Orleans and lifts the curse before midnight on New Year's Eve.

Private detective Savannah Reid isn't your average crime-fighting heroine. Middle-aged and overweight — at least by society's skinny-winnie standards — Savannah has the audacity to love herself anyway. If there's anything the sassy Dixie belle enjoys more than cooking soul-satisfying food for her friends and family, it's nabbing bad guys and plopping them on the scales of Lady Justice. Having relocated to Southern California, this unconventional Georgia peach and the equally eccentric members of her Moonlight Magnolia Detective Agency live to take a tasty bite out of crime in the sleepy, seaside town of San Carmelita.

Polly Coulter was never one of Savannah Reid's favorite people. So, when Polly dumped Savannah's former cop partner, Dirk, Savannah found it difficult to fake a respectable degree of sorrow for his broken marriage. The wicked witch was gone at last! Whoopee! But now Polly has suddenly reappeared, strutting her sagging stuff, making an unabashed play for Dirk. Savannah is pleased to see that, this time around, Dirk is smart enough to keep his foot out of that particular trap. But her relief is short-lived. Polly is found dead on Dirk's trailer floor, killed with his service revolver. Now Savannah and her detective agency have to find justice for the despicable Polly … and clear Dirk of a first-degree murder rap.

The method of operation is eerily similar to those used by the ruthless gang who killed his family, and Clint might soon have to face down the demons from his past to solve the mystery.

Will Clint walk that fine line between good and evil, or will he abandon his principles to settle an old score? Whatever choice he makes, one thing is certain … it'll come at a hefty price.
