He doesn't speak French. He's never been to Paris. Kai Cooke is an unlikely detective to investigate the hanging death there of a study abroad student from Hawai'i named Ryan Song. Except that Ryan was a surfer. With this thin connection to the case, Kai tries to piece together what happened in Paris, without ever leaving the islands. This means a challenging case. How will the Surfing Detective reconstruct a sequence of events that occurred months earlier and seven thousand miles away?

Kai, as always, rises to the occasion. And, as always, things turn out to be not as they seem. As he interviews a half dozen students and their professor who accompanied Ryan to Paris, Kai discovers that while their stories tally, none sounds like the truth. To get the to truth, he must dig deeper. What went down in Paris ends up astonishing even the detective himself.

When a serial killer shows up on Longboat Key, Florida after a twelve year absence, Matt Royal is stymied. The first woman killed on Longboat Key has ties to a secretive government agency for which Matt's best friend Jock Algren works. Was this a coincidence or was she a targeted kill? Matt's friend, Longboat Key detective Jennifer Diane (J.D.) Duncan investigates the murders but also seems to be a target of the killer. Why? And where has the killer been for the past twelve years? And why has he come to Longboat Key when his earlier kills were all in Miami?

The mystery deepens when Guatemalan gang-bangers try to kill Matt and J.D. and suspicions grow that Mexican drug cartels are somehow involved. The director of Jock's agency orders him to do whatever is necessary to find the killer because of the death of the woman with connections to the agency. Will Jock simply take out the murderer or allow J.D. and the law to arrest, try and convict the bad guys?

Matt's life is further complicated by J.D.'s growing dissatisfaction with island living and her thoughts of returning to Miami.

When nine strangers convene on a Florida beach to observe and protect the endangered loggerhead turtles nesting there, one dies of poisoned and another is killed soon after. So, who among the remaining wildlife supporters is also a killer?

Recently hired as a detective by the Burgess Beach Police Department, Andrea "Andi" Battaglia is looking to prove herself to her new boss, but the more clues she collects, the more secrets — and suspects — she uncovers, and her hopes for a quick result fade. As she works to figure out whodunit on the beach and beyond, she also struggles with her mother's critical illness, her own feelings of inadequacy, and her misgivings about her growing attraction to another cop.

New This Week: Super Chief, A John Tall Wolf Mystery by Joseph Flynn

Omnimystery News is pleased to present a mystery, suspense, or thriller ebook that we recently found by sleuthing (as it were) through new or recently reissued titles from independent publishers during October 2014 and priced $4.99 or less …

Super Chief by Joseph Flynn

A John Tall Wolf Mystery (3rd in series)

Publisher: Stray Dog Press

Price: $3.99 (as of 10/11/2014 at 4:30 PM ET).

When a classic Super Chief locomotive disappears between L.A. and Chicago and the case is handed to the BIA's John Tall Wolf, he asks the obvious question, "How do you steal a train?" Once more, John is working with FBI Deputy Director Byron DeWitt, and the question he wants answered is a perennial favorite. "Are terrorists behind all this?"

Other possible suspects are Native Americans and two feuding Silicon Valley tech billionaires who were among the last people to see the Super Chief off from L.A.'s Union Station.

All trails lead to the one place John swore he'd never go: the reservation where he was born. Looks like a good place to avoid, too, when John learns his grandmother has put out a hit on him.
