The Up and Up by Lee Irby

A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: Doubleday

Price: $1.99 (as of 02/06/2017 at 7:00 PM ET).

  

Miami in the 1920's … a teeming cauldron of giddy opportunity, swaggering gangsters, shady real estate sharks, crooked cops, and glamorous movie stars. In other words … the perfect spot for ex-bootlegger Frank Hearn to start a new life on the up-and-up …

Charming yet ill-fated Frank Hearn is ready to leave behind his high-stakes lifestyle and finally stake his claim in the world — and no place promises a quicker route to the good life than Miami. With suckers aplenty looking for land in the Sunshine State, Frank and his partner, the well-connected son of a former mayor, plan to make a killing in the real estate biz. The first thing on Frank's agenda, however, is repaying a loan from Seddon Howard, the father of his very classy fiancée, Irene. A bet on a fixed jai alai match puts the cash in his pocket — as well as a vengeful gambling kingpin hot on his trail.

When a close acquaintance of Frank's is discovered murdered the next day, his well-intentioned plan quickly turns upside-down and he is accused of the crime. Adding to his troubles, a federal investigator is digging into his real estate transactions, while a desperate outlaw takes him on a suicide mission into the Everglades to look for a stash of buried cash. To further complicate matters, Irene, whose suspicions are already mounting, is scheduled to arrive in Miami with her parents to attend Harvey Firestone's party for President Calvin Coolidge. And on the side, Gloria Swanson begins a torrid affair with the powerful banker and movie mogul Joseph P. Kennedy … a liaison that threatens to bring down all involved.

Sit. Stay. Be Polite with Strangers. What could be easier?

That's what Doodle thinks when Molly signs him up to take the Canine Good Citizen Test at the annual DogDays Fair. Compared to the certifications he has to pass for his job as a bed-bug sniffer dog for the "boss," Molly's father, this should be simple.

But the test turns out to be no walk (or sit) in the park. Did he miss the memo about the explosions? And the stolen pets?

While Molly and her friends investigate, another dog disappears, with repercussions that threaten the bonds of an entire family.

Throw in a bullying neighbor and a chase across a squirrel-infested park near the White House, and Doodle begins to wonder if he and Molly have bitten off more than they can chew.

Prayer for the Dead by James Oswald, New in Bookstores during February 2017

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

Prayer for the Dead by James Oswald, an Anthony McLean Mystery (5th in series)

Publisher: Crooked Lane Books

 

Detective Inspector Tony McLean is on the case when the search for a missing journalist uncovers the scene of a carefully staged murder. In a sealed chamber, deep in the heart of Gilmerton Cove, a mysterious network of caves and passages sprawling beneath Edinburgh, the body is discovered in a seemingly macabre ritual of purification. But McLean knew the dead man and can't shake off the suspicion that there is far more to this case than meets the eye.

For one thing, the baffling lack of forensics at the crime scene seems impossible. But that's just the first in a series of revelations about this case that seems beyond belief. Teamed with the most unlikely and unwelcome of allies, McLean must track down a killer — driven by the darkest compulsions and who will answer only to a higher power — until it's his own blood on the altar.

Publisher: Lyrical Underground

  

When Tobi Tobias decided to open her own ad agency, having to moonlight in a pet shop wasn't part of her vision … of course, neither was murder …

Sometimes when opportunity knocks, the door you open leads to a closet. That's certainly the case for Tobi, whose weekends spent cleaning cages in her best friend's pet shop may soon be over. She's just landed her first big break — Zander Closet Company needs a catchy campaign slogan ASAP, and Tobi thinks she's got the right hook to knock 'em dead: "When we're done, even your skeletons will have a place."

But when a real dead body topples out of a showcase closet, she's about to discover there is such a thing as bad publicity. To save her fledgling business and not get killed by the competition, Tobi takes on a new pet project: solving the murder. But with a stressed-out parrot as the only witness to the crime, Tobi will really have to wing it to put the cagey killer behind bars.

Knight & Culverhouse by Adam Croft

Books 1-3

Publisher: Adam Croft

Kobo Daily Deal Price: $2.99

  

Too Close for Comfort: As the newest murder squad recruit for Mildenheath CID, DS Wendy Knight knows that she will face the unthinkable, but what she does not anticipate is that a sadistic killer may be too close for comfort.

When a known prostitute is found dead, Wendy is assigned to the case. Solving it means that she will have to outwit and outsmart an elusive serial killer. As her investigation unfolds, so too does a sinister plot that will turn her world upside down and make it increasingly difficult to distinguish friend from foe in her tightknit world.

Could the murderer be hiding in plain sight? Will the answers she seeks be more than she can bear?

Guilty as Sin: When seventeen-year-old Danielle Levy goes missing one lunchtime, DS Wendy Knight and DCI Jack Culverhouse believe they have a routine case on their hands.

When a prominent local businessman is found dead in his warehouse, however, the case takes a whole new disturbing turn as Knight and Culverhouse begin to unravel the connections between the two cases which lead to a dark and disturbing secret that will make them question everything they thought they knew.

Jack Be Nimble: A killer is loose on the streets of Mildenheath, and his barbaric crimes seem a little too familiar …

As the body count begins to rise, DS Wendy Knight and DCI Jack Culverhouse start to realise that the killer is emulating the gruesome, grisly murders of the world's most famous and elusive serial killer: Jack the Ripper.

With Culverhouse struggling to come to terms with his ex-wife's dramatic return after she disappeared eight and a half years earlier and Knight trying to cope with the trauma she's suffered following devastating events of two previous cases, the race is on to stop the killer before he completes his final kill and retreats back into the darkness.

They know he's going to kill again, but they don't know where or who his next victim will be. And what's worse, they don't know who he is either …
