Fall from Grace
Tim Weaver
A David Raker Mystery
Viking (July 2016)

Publisher synopsis: After decades of service, Leonard Franks has stepped down from the Metropolitan Police as a high-ranking detective in the Homicide and Serious Crime Command. He and his wife, Ellie, have retired to a farmhouse in the seclusion of the English countryside, far from the clamor of London. Everything goes just as they've imagined, until the night Leonard leaves the house to fetch firewood — and never returns.

With the police investigation at a dead end nine months later, Leonard's daughter, a detective herself, turns in desperation to David Raker, a missing persons investigator with a gift for finding the lost. But nothing can prepare Raker for what he's about to find — or for the devastating secret behind this disappearance. And by the time he realizes what it is, and how deep the lies go, he finds himself in serious danger — along with everyone he cares about.

A Jack Mango Murder Mystery (thth in series)

Publisher: L. A. Toth

Price: $2.95 (as of 09/06/2016 at 6:30 PM ET).

  

The best way to keep a secret is to make it a dead secret …

Jack Mango thought life couldn't get much better as a respected detective in the enigmatic laboratory town of Los Alamos, New Mexico. His life changes drastically when shot while protecting the governor from an assassin's bullet. He recovers, only to have his wife die of cancer soon after.

Unable to cope, he moves his family to the central Pacific coast of California, an area of fond memories from his Army days, hoping to start anew. And, harboring a secret desire to reconnect with an old flame he rejected, bound by duty and honor to return home to his fiancé.

Mango's first case three days into his new job as Police Chief, in the idyllic seaside town of Serrano, sets the tone. Psychiatrist Billy Morton is accused and convicted of violating his adopted daughter, Clare. Four years later, Billy is found dead on the beach shortly after being paroled from prison. Later that morning, his wife's lover, Harry Henderson, is found dead near a beached panga; the boat believed to have been transporting four thousand pounds of marijuana, off-loaded during the night.

Billy's estranged wife, Stella, ostracized by the community for her implied collusion in Clare's abuse, takes to the hills. Clare is on the lam after threatening to kill Harry, after he terminates her job for clashing publicly with Billy at the local coffee bar. She meets up with the mysterious panga boat captain and the chase is on!

Chief Jack Mango and his small, eclectic team of officers are thrust into a frustrating and frantic pursuit to find the suspects before they kill again. It doesn't help that his love life is a shambles, what with juggling a high profile career, a murder investigation, and haunting demons of love, death, and redemption.

But things are about to go bad … fast!

When her fiance is found murdered and Bluebell wakes up in the middle of a field with no memory of the night before, even she has to wonder if she could be to blame. After all, he had just broken her heart, effectively turning her perfect life upside down.

But could Bluebell have done it?

The fact is, with the body being found alone in a locked room, no one seems to have a clue as to what happened. It's almost as if it were … MAGIC!

And speaking of magic …

A killer is placing his cross hairs over the American heartland …

The pair of frozen corpses were found under a tarp in the machine shed of an empty farmhouse. Two males — brothers — both killed by bullets from a Russian automatic fired at close range. The cops have a suspect: a man Deputy Sheriff Carl Houseman busted five years earlier and the county's lead suspect in a series of recent robberies.

Houseman knows they have the wrong guy. He also knows they've got something bigger than a burglary gone bad … especially when the FBI starts showing up in Maitland. The brutal double homicide is just the tip of the iceberg in a case where a killer's trail keeps disappearing like footprints in freshly fallen snow, and where one bad break can send a good cop into a deep freeze.

But the reason is a mystery in itself. Monk's memory loss — a secret he guards closely — leaves him vulnerable to repercussions from his missing past, especially his exploits overseas in the tumultuous Gold Rush days of San Francisco. And now McNab, as icy and unfathomable as the steel-gray Thames itself, appears intent on using whatever damning facts he can find to his advantage to ruin Monk's future as an officer of the law.

As Monk explores the possibility of a conspiracy, McNab's game of cat and mouse escalates, with veiled threats and cryptic insinuations. Snared in an unforeseen trap, a desperate Monk must turn to his wife, Hester, and friend and attorney Oliver Rathbone for help, as his life literally hangs in the balance.
