When boatyard directors Mike Randle and Suzie Drake hire out their refurbished sixty-foot yacht, the engaged couple has no idea that their clients will not be returning it to them. Instead, the police deliver the news a few days later that the now smashed vessel has been found drifting in the English Channel with three bodies aboard. Worse yet, the yacht may have been hired to smuggle drugs.

As repairs on the yacht begin, workers soon find hidden drugs stashed inside the vessel. After Mike and Suzie collect the drugs and prepare to hand the packages over to the police, armed drug dealers invade their home in search of the stash. After a shootout leaves one of the gunmen dead and the other vowing to kill the boatyard directors, Mike is run off the road and badly injured in a motorcycle accident. While he recuperates, he and Suzie agree to let a director use their refitted yacht in a television pilot. As they head to Ibiza for the filming, Mike and Suzie have no clue that someone is trailing them, and that their adventure has just begun.

His uncle, Bruce Kantor of the Help Innocent Prisoners Project, wants to help but knows he's too close to the case.

His associate Dani Trumball has family worries of her own to deal with, but she knows Bruce wouldn't ask for help without cause. Just as she and her team begin to investigate, the case gets even thornier: Frankie is missing, and evidence points to an Eldridge cover-up.

As the FBI launches a hunt for the boy, Dani knows something isn't right. Why would a minor's first offense earn such a harsh punishment? Unconvinced by the court documents, Dani is dogged in her pursuit of the truth that will save Frankie's future — if he still has one.

In the face of a crisis that sweeps an entire high-tech planet back to a time before electricity, the Branning family faces a choice. Will they hoard their possessions in order to survive — or trust God to provide as they share their resources with those around them? Yesterday's world is gone. Family and community are all that remain. And the outage is revealing the worst in some.

Desperation can be dangerous when a killer lives among them.

Cold Heart by Karen Pullen, New in Bookstores during January 2017

Today's featured new hardcover mystery, suspense, or thriller title scheduled to be published during January 2017 is …

Cold Heart by Karen Pullen, a Stella Lavender Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Five Star

 

Motivated by her mother's long-ago unsolved abduction, Stella Lavender has joined the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation only to be severely challenged by her first assignment as an undercover drug agent. Stella works nights, buying drugs from paranoid drug dealers, gathering evidence to send them to prison or turn them into informants. She's great at the job because, as her boss says, "you don't look like a cop." But the physical danger and the necessary betrayals are getting to her. When she sees a chance to work a homicide, she'll always take it.

One afternoon Stella gives a hitchhiking teenager a ride to her babysitting job. Horror awaits them — the father lies dead in a pool of blood, and his toddler is missing. Stella joins the murder investigation as the puzzle quickly grows. The only physical evidence — a bloody fingerprint — matches no one associated with the victim. And most importantly, where is the toddler?

At the same time, Stella's personal life offers plenty of distractions. Her grandmother Fern, a free-spirited artist with male admirers wrapped around every one of her paint-stained fingers, needs Stella's help with expensive house repairs. And Stella's attraction to three very different men means her romantic life is, well, complicated.

Bloodthirsty, A Lomax and Biggs Mystery by Marshall Karp, Now Available at a Special Price

Omnimystery News is always searching for newly discounted mystery, suspense, thriller and crime novels for our readers to enjoy.

Today, we're pleased to present the following title, now available at a special price courtesy of the publisher, Mesa Films …

Bloodthirsty by Marshall Karp

A Lomax and Biggs Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Mesa Films

Price: $2.99 (as of 01/21/2017 at 1:00 PM ET).

  

Barry Gerber, one of the most hated — and powerful — men in Hollywood, is a no-show for a red carpet event. The next morning he turns up dead in a trash can, killed in such a bizarre way that neither Detectives Mike Lomax nor Terry Biggs nor anyone in Forensics has ever seen anything like it before. Two days later, the prime suspect — another despised show-business bad boy — is found murdered in the same sadistic manner.

The list of suspects then becomes as long as the credits in a summer blockbuster. Everyone hated the murdered men. Biggs jokes that this could be an elaborate public service effort to make Hollywood a better place to live and work. But the two detectives soon find that all jokes are off as they wade through a daunting number of leads to uncover the identity of the next victim. What they stumble upon is a motive far more primal than they had ever imagined.

Two Shots by Joe Albert

A Tony Leach Thriller (1st in series)

Publisher: Joe Albert

Price: 99¢ (as of 01/20/2017 at 8:00 PM ET).

  

When state game warden Tony Leach responds to an emergency call about a hunter who has been shot and killed at a deer camp in the woods of northern Minnesota, there's no way he can be prepared for the twisted web into which he's been thrust.

Five years removed from a stint with the Minneapolis Police Department, Tony Leach is a game warden for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Content to spend his days in the woods and on the water enforcing fishing and hunting laws, he thought he'd left violent crime behind when he left the city. But a single call from dispatch two days before the deer-hunting season opens changes that.

Now, he's pushed into working a case he really shouldn't be involved with, and digging for the truth in the death of a noted political operative that some high-powered people would prefer remain buried in the northern Minnesota woods. As Leach pursues those responsible, he finds people and things aren't exactly what they seem. And as the investigation goes on and the web unravels, it becomes increasingly clear the only way for it to end is with a killer's — or his — demise.
