With Love from the Inside by Angela Pisel, Amazon Kindle format

Grace Bradshaw knows the exact minute she will die. On death row for murdering her infant son, her last breath will be taken on February 15 at 12:01 a.m. Eleven years, five months, and 27 days separate her from the last time she heard her precious daughter's voice and the final moment she'd heard anyone call her mom. Out of appeals, she can focus on only one thing — reconnecting with her daughter and making sure she knows the truth.

Secrets lurk behind Sophie Logan's big house and even bigger bank account. Every day when she kisses her husband good-bye, she worries her fabricated life is about to come crumbling down. No one knows the unforgivable things her mother did to tear her family apart — not her husband, who is a prominent plastic surgeon, or her "synthetic" friends who live in her upscale neighborhood.

Grace's looming execution date forces Sophie to revisit the traumatic events that haunted her childhood. When she returns to her hometown, she discovers new evidence about her baby brother William's death 17 years ago — proof that might set her mother free but shatter her own marriage forever.

Sophie must quickly decide if her mother is the monster the prosecutor made her out to be or the loving mother she remembers — the one who painted her toenails glittery pink and plastered Post-it notes with inspiring quotes ("100 percent failure rate if you don't try") all over Sophie's bathroom mirror — before their time runs out.

As NY Lt. Eve Dallas and her billionaire husband Roarke are driving home, a young woman — dazed, naked, and bloody — suddenly stumbles out in front of their car. Roarke slams on the brakes and Eve springs into action.

Daphne Strazza is rushed to the ER, but it's too late for her husband Dr. Anthony Strazza. A brilliant orthopedic surgeon, he now lies dead amid the wreckage of his obsessively organized town house, his three safes opened and emptied. Daphne would be a valuable witness, but in her terror and shock the only description of the perp she can offer is repeatedly calling him "the devil" …

While it emerges that Dr. Strazza was cold, controlling, and widely disliked, this is one case where the evidence doesn't point to the spouse. So Eve and her team must get started on the legwork, interviewing everyone from dinner-party guests to professional colleagues to caterers, in a desperate race to answer some crucial questions:

What does the devil look like? And where will he show up next?

Swann's Lake of Despair by Charles Salzberg, Amazon Kindle format

When rare photos‚ a scandalous diary‚ and a beautiful woman all go missing at once‚ the stage is set for three challenging cases for Henry Swann. It begins with an offer to partner up with his slovenly‚ unreliable frenemy‚ Goldblatt. The disbarred lawyer-turned-"facilitator" would provide the leads and muscle‚ while Swann would do all the fancy footwork. A lost diary by a free-loving Jazz Age flapper is worth enough to someone that Swann takes a beat down on an abandoned boardwalk. Pilfered photos of Marilyn Monroe propel him deep into the past of an alcoholic shutterbug‚ his wife; and he's hired to search for a lonely writer's runaway girlfriend.

The cases converge and collide in a finale that lifts the curtain on crucial‚ deadly facts of life for everyone — including Swann himself.

An Interview with Tom Carter

Omnimystery News: Author Interview with Tom Carter

We are delighted to welcome author Tom Carter back to Omnimystery News.

Yesterday we featured an excerpt from his new mystery Nashville: Music & Murder (Sing Before Dying; February 2017 trade paperback and ebook formats) and today we're pleased that he agreed to answer a few follow-up questions about the book.

— ♦ —

Omnimystery News: You could have chosen either a male or female lead for your murder mystery. Why did you go with a female?

Tom Carter

Tom Carter

Tom Carter: My lead character is a woman because I think women are more vulnerable to physical ambush. I also incorporated a woman because my protagonist was adapted from Nashville's celebrity women who were stalked, including Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette and Taylor Swift. I had no difficulty in finding the hostile voice of protagonist "Maci Willis." That too was rooted in truth, as women have been yelling at me for years. I think that readers always sympathize with a woman more than a man in life threatening situations. The protagonist in The Silence of the Lambs was female. So was the victim in Kiss the Girls. For that matter, King Kong hassled a woman decades ago.

OMN: Into which genre would you place your book?

TC: It a suspense/thriller novel.

OMN: What came first when writing this book: the character or the storyline?

TC: I started my novel with the storyline. If I put forth the plot, I could always make the protagonist reactionary. I made her respond to situations that resembled what I saw as a working newspaper police reporter.

OMN: Describe your writing environment for us.

TC: I have a conventional office whose main wall is mostly glass. At night, I close the blinds. I surround myself with the 18 books I've successfully written.

OMN: What are some of your outside interests?

TC: I read.

Author Tom Carter has collaborated to write the autobiographies of more country music stars than any other writer in the world. Carter co-wrote with Reba McEntire, Glen Campbell, Merle Haggard, Tammy Wynette, George Jones, Ronnie Milsap, LeAnn Rimes, Jason Aldean and Ralph Emery. Including hard back and paperback editions, Carter's co-written memoirs have been listed seven times on The New York Times and twice on the USA Today best-sellers list. Now, for the first time, Carter has written a fictional murder mystery set on Nashville's Music Row, home to celebrities and their recorded music.

As a teenager, Maci Willis fled the poverty and sexual abuse of her Louisiana childhood with the hope of finding a new life as a Nashville recording star or greasy spoon waitress. Despite the odds, the former fate unfolded, and Maci recorded hit songs for two decades while indulging a pampered lifestyle void of risks and regrets.

But all of that changed during one fateful performance.

While Maci sang a fourth encore to a crowd of 18,000, the music was shattered by a gunshot fired by an obsessed fan. She emerged triumphant from the attempt on her life — only to face another attempt shortly afterwards. Was it a coincidence? Or was something more sinister at work?
