Prodigal Son by Dean Koontz

The Frankenstein Series (1st in series)

Publisher: Bantam

Kindle Daily Deal Price: $1.99

Every city has secrets. But none as terrible as this. His name is Deucalion, a tattooed man of mysterious origin, a sleight-of-reality artist who's traveled the centuries with a secret worse than death. He arrives as a serial killer stalks the streets, a killer who carefully selects his victims for the humanity that is missing in himself.

Detective Carson O'Connor is cool, cynical, and every bit as tough as she looks. Her partner Michael Maddison would back her up all the way to Hell itself — and that just may be where this case ends up. For the no-nonsense O'Connor is suddenly talking about an ages-old conspiracy, a near immortal race of beings, and killers that are more — and less — than human. Soon it will be clear that as crazy as she sounds, the truth is even more ominous. For their quarry isn' t merely a homicidal maniac — but his deranged maker.

Tower is sent to the Wyoming boomtown of Big River, where a young preacher has been viciously murdered, his crucified body left in a small valley known as Killer's Draw. When Tower and Bird arrive in town, it quickly becomes obvious that no one wants to talk about the preacher — not about his life or his death. Tower is disturbed by the townspeople's silence, and Bird's no help — she disappeared into the nearest saloon as soon as they got off the train.

Tower promptly finds himself in need of Bird's quick reflexes as locals begin dying at an unnatural rate, and the circuit rider and his companion become the prime targets in the mysterious killer's sights.

Buffalo Jump Blues
Keith McCafferty
A Montana Fly Fishing Mystery
Viking (June 2016)

Publisher synopsis: In the wake of Fourth of July fireworks in Montana's Madison Valley, Hyalite County sheriff Martha Ettinger and Deputy Sheriff Harold Little Feather investigate a horrific scene at the Palisades cliffs, where a herd of bison have fallen to their deaths. Victims of blind panic caused by the pyrotechnics, or a ritualistic hunting practice dating back thousands of years? The person who would know is beyond asking, an Indian man found dead among the bison, his leg pierced by an arrow.

Farther up the valley, fly fisherman, painter, and sometime private detective Sean Stranahan has been hired by the beautiful Ida Evening Star, a Chippewa Cree woman who moonlights as a mermaid at the Trout Tails Bar & Grill, to find her old flame, John Running Boy. The cases seem unrelated — until Sean's search leads him right to the brink of the buffalo jump.

Mack's Bar is one of those nice, friendly places where everybody knows your name. That's great when someone's buying you a round, but not so hot when you find yourself atop a list of murder suspects — with your fingerprints on the bloody knife!

Mackenzie "Mack" Dalton is a Milwaukee bar owner with a nose for trouble — literally. A neurological glitch has left her with extra perceptive senses. So when she stumbles upon a dead body in the alley behind the bar — the same spot where her own father was shot eight months earlier — she can tell right away there's something fishy in the air. The lead detective thinks there's a link between the two deaths, and he'll need Mack's help to sniff out the murderer amid the crowd of eccentric regulars.

But when all the evidence points to her as the most likely culprit, it could be an early last call for Mack — and celebratory cocktails for a killer.

A year has passed since the shocking conclusion of the Ritual case. Brian is constantly looking over his shoulder, living in fear of his actions catching up with him. But time has progressed, and it seems like recent history is dead and buried.

But the perils of police duty have no regard for Brian's personal troubles. A girl is found dead, her body floating in a water tank atop a seedy Preston hotel. The death is dismissed as suicide. A tragic accident.

But Brian has been on the job long enough to know when something isn't right. Especially when he discovers there's no way the girl got onto the hotel roof without special security codes.

As he digs deeper into the case despite a staggering lack of evidence, Brian grows more and more convinced that something much darker than suicide is at play. And that darkness might just swallow him and those he loves up completely …

Recovering from the aftermath of a case that left his partner dead, Billy is back in Memphis and drawn into an ever-widening murder mystery that focuses on a disgraced major league baseball player, two legendary blues musicians on the lam, a straight-arrow cop tortured by her guilty conscience, and two iconic civil rights warriors with secrets so dark they'll shock the nation.

Detective Billy Able is at a crossroads. His previous case left him questioning everything he believes about his abilities as a cop and a friend, yet he's unable to turn off instincts he's honed after a decade on the force.

After he stops a crime from being committed, he finds himself embroiled in an even bigger scandal — a murder connected to a series of crimes dating back to the civil rights movement. Billy investigates and uncovers secrets so layered he can barely keep the truth from the lies. And Frankie Malone, the female cop on the case, is hiding something big, but is it connected to the investigation? With the help of a Santerián priest, Billy's search for the truth leads him deep into the underbelly of Memphis' past. But will he make it out alive?
