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

Killing Secrets by Dianne Emley

A Nan Vining Mystery (5th in series)

Publisher: Alibi

Price: $1.99 (as of 01/23/2017 at 8:00 PM ET).

  

When she gets the call, Nan Vining responds as a mother first and a detective second. Her daughter, Emily, has made a gruesome discovery in a secluded section of a Pasadena park: a pretty, popular young teacher from Emily's high school and a bright yet troubled transfer student — both dead and bloody in a copse of trees. But the crime scene isn't the only thing that seems off to Detective Vining. There's also the cocky classmate who was with Emily in the park — the boyfriend she never knew about. What else doesn't she know about her daughter?

As she attempts to channel both her maternal and investigative instincts into one single point of focus, Vining's superiors at the Pasadena Police Department are moving at lightning speed. Before the evidence has even been processed, the case is closed as a clear-cut murder/suicide: a disturbed teenager murders his teacher, then takes his own life. Vining doesn't buy it. Now she's chasing dangerous, powerful people with secrets they would kill for — and taking them down means risking her own flesh and blood.

In a small, heavily fortified room just north of the Sistine Chapel, a master thief is about to strike. All he needs is an instant — to steal the most important treasure in the Vatican museum: two antique keys — one gold, one silver — that protect the secret of salvation …

But a surprise awaits Michael St. Pierre deep inside the Vatican, an ancient secret so explosive, it sends him running for his life — from the streets of Rome to a small stone church in Israel — with two stolen keys and a terrible realization: the consequences of his desperate, brazen act are far greater than he could ever have imagined.

For the treasure he has uncovered — the gleaming prize buried within the most clandestine structure on earth — is about to bring him face-to-face with an enemy more shocking, frightening, and insidious than anyone can guess …

Major Allan Quatermain, a British veteran of the Special Service Brigade, is contacted by MI2 and Her Majesty's Life Guards to locate the spear before the Nazis can find it and use its purported supernatural powers to advance their evil agenda. They also have intel that Hitler may be alive and seeking the artifact. Dr. Julius Byrd, the only man who may know the location of the spear, is missing.

Quatermain tells Hannah Byrd, an art historian, that her father may have been abducted by the Nazis. After a confrontation with an intruder, Allan and Hannah head for Istanbul to find her father, save him from the Nazis, and recover the spear. As they travel under the guise of newlyweds, Allan knows they are being followed. Danger arises at every turn — and so does his attraction for Hannah.

On the Orient Express, Allan and Hannah meet a baron who served under Hitler. But is he a friend or a foe?

While hot on the trail of both Dr. Byrd and the spear of destiny, the pursuer becomes the pursued, and Allan knows that the fate of the world depends on him. But will the thrilling truth about the spear become their saving grace or their fatal undoing?

Dying to earn her spurs …

Even in sweltering June, there's plenty of work for Trade Ellis on her Arizona ranch, but right now her part-time P.I. practice is as dry as the desert — until bull rider J. B. Calendar marries a candy heiress who's crazy to turn cowgirl.

Abigail Van Thiessen, nipped and tucked into great shape, has thirty-two years — and a few hundred million dollars — on her husband. So when she meets her untimely death on a romantic horseback trip with her newlywed stud, the cops suspect foul play. And J.B. hires Trade to prove him innocent.

While plenty of people stood to gain from Abby's death — the ex-football-star preacher she bankrolled, a half brother with his own millions, and a topless dancer with a grudge, just for starters — no suspect looks better than J.B., a boozing tomcatter who's lucky with the ladies. Until Trade learns about another murder in town the same night Abby died … a development that may bring the investigation — and Trade — to the very deadest of ends.

His hard outer shell, the one essential to his work, made him incapable of forging the emotional connection his wife Andie so desperately needed.

Now retired, rasing their son Brodie on his own, and at risk of losing his ranch, Ty does not know how to rebuild from the rubble of his life. The answer comes in the form of Samantha and her daughter Hope, on the run from a seemingly inescapable situation. They are in danger, desperate, and alone. Though they are strangers, Ty knows he can help — protecting the innocent is what he does best. As his relationship with Sam and Hope unfolds, Ty realizes he must confront his true weaknesses if he wants to become the man he needs to be.

To Clear the Air by Mechtild Borrmann, A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: AmazonCrossing

  

Life comes to an end, but memory is forever.

A moving epitaph for a lost loved one, or the menacing taunt of a vengeful killer? When a man is found brutally murdered in the woods, those words come to haunt the small German village of Merklen. And homicide inspector Peter Böhm faces the daunting task of unraveling a mystery with deep and twisted roots — in a town where doors stay closed, people stay silent, and death may have the final word.

But the case is just one more uphill battle for Böhm, who's already grappling with a son's death and a marriage on the edge. When a second grisly murder occurs and the same sinister death notice appears, fear spreads that a killer thirsting for justice will continue to spill bad blood. Now, for Böhm and his team of detectives, the only way forward may be back — decades into the past, where a horrific secret was buried … but will no longer lie silent.

He isn't the kind of detective to take no for an answer, but in his most recent case answers are damn hard to come by. Partnered with the conscientious Detective Matt Winslow, Mocha endeavors to solve the murder of the wealthy and beautiful Jessica Shannon, a woman who had every reason to live.

As Mocha and Winslow strive to push forward the hands of time and solve the murder, their imposing lieutenant breathes down their necks, suspects are scarce, and all of the evidence seems to be a dead end.

With the last precious grains of sand falling through the hourglass, Mocha pushes ever forward, determined to make an arrest, even if it means this collar will be his last.

Summer on the Côte d'Azur means tan bodies, wide beaches and glamorous nightclubs throbbing with the vitality of the rich and beautiful. So when Maggie Newberry arranges to meet an old boyfriend at the International Advertising Festival in Cannes, it's no surprise she begins to feel the seduction of her old life.

But amidst the glamor, beautiful clothes and brilliant creative work on display, there is also the side of the business Maggie had forgotten was always there too. The petty rivalries, the dirty deals, the betrayals, are all still front and center. When the back-stabbing turns literal and the wife of Maggie's childhood friend is accused of the murder, Maggie knows she has to help.

Along the way she needs to fight the police, Laurent, and even her own natural instincts about who she is now and the life she left behind.

She learns the hard way that the treachery rife in her old industry has since ramped up to a whole new level — one that her quiet life as a vigneron's wife has not at all prepared her for … and one that could very well get her killed.
