Welcome to paradise, a.k.a. Heron Point, a glamorous Florida beach community where money is the religion and excess the way of life. Newly arrived Brady Spain is oblivious to any hint of corruption beneath the glitter, seeing only a land of swaying palm trees, stunning sunsets, and hot bodies glistening against the sand. Until paradise's facade begins cracking under the weight of its own appetites, and the hidden jealousies that fester in a culture of runaway indulgence spawn murderous rage. And once the killing starts, the ensuing scramble to separate the alibis from the suspects shoves Brady onto a collision course with the personalities that really live behind the beautiful faces and dazzling lifestyle.

Trapped in paradise amid the wreckage of his shattered dreams, Brady Spain is about to find out if he can be bought or broken.

In Broad Daylight by Seth Harwood

A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: Thomas & Mercer

Kindle Daily Deal Price: $1.99

FBI agent Jess Harding treks back to Anchorage to hunt down a sadistic killer who's reemerged from a five-year hiatus — a killer who has already slipped her grasp once before. The endless days of an Alaskan summer can't thwart the fiend's plans as he slashes his way through the rural community, where everyone knows your name and always distrusts the outside.

With the help of Oscar Linstrom, an old colleague who wants to be more than friends, Jess attempts to immerse herself in the area's culture, leading her to a strange rural village inhabited by Russian Old Believers hell-bent on protecting their way of life. Even the locals are outsiders to the Old Believers, and Jess needs a safehaven in the glare of daylight because a blood-stained message left at the scene of the most recent murder says Jess is no longer the hunter — but the hunted.

Walking away from life as a cop turns out to be the least of his problems, as he now finds himself alone, unchallenged, and hearing uncompromising voices. Battling for a new purpose in life, he connects with his old friend and colleague Sergeant James Paul McCormack. The Sergeant is under intense pressure to find a killer who has been decorating New York City with dead women, displayed in acts of vulgarity. When he confides in Caleb, the retired detective discovers a heroin connection that may lead to the murderer's identity and agrees to help. But, time may be running out for the two friends …

As Caleb starts receiving cryptic religious messages in the mail, he can't help but wonder if it's a cry for help in the form of divine intervention, or if he is one of the Nasty One's pawns.
