This title was listed for free as of January 12, 2015 at 7:00 AM ET.

A conspiracy that will end alternative energy research … an organisation killing to protect its interests … and a bomb that will change the face of terrorism …

When Sarah Edgewater's ex-husband is murdered by a radical organisation hell-bent on protecting their assets, she turns to Dan Taylor — geologist, ex-soldier, and lost cause. Together, they must unravel the research notes that Sarah's ex-husband left behind to locate an explosive device that is circumnavigating the globe towards London — and time is running out.

From London to Brisbane and back via the Arctic Circle, Dan and Sarah aren't just chasing the truth — they're chasing a bomb that, if detonated, will change the future of alternative energy research and the centre of England's capital forever.

Snow White Must Die by Nele Neuhaus

An Oliver von Bodenstein and Pia Kirchhoff Mystery (4th in series)

Publisher: Minotaur Books

Price: $2.99 (as of 01/12/2015 at 6:30 AM ET).

  

Though the fourth in the series, it is the first to be published in the US.

On a rainy November day police detectives Pia Kirchhoff and Oliver von Bodenstein are summoned to a mysterious traffic accident: A woman has fallen from a pedestrian bridge onto a car driving underneath. According to a witness, the woman may have been pushed. The investigation leads Pia and Oliver to a small village, and the home of the victim, Rita Cramer.

On a September evening eleven years earlier, two seventeen-year-old girls vanished from the village without a trace. In a trial based only on circumstantial evidence, twenty-year-old Tobias Sartorius, Rita Cramer's son, was sentenced to ten years in prison. Bodenstein and Kirchhoff discover that Tobias, after serving his sentence, has now returned to his home town. Did the attack on his mother have something to do with his return?

In the village, Pia and Oliver encounter a wall of silence. When another young girl disappears, the events of the past seem to be repeating themselves in a disastrous manner. The investigation turns into a race against time, because for the villagers it is soon clear who the perpetrator is — and this time they are determined to take matters into their own hands.

Review: Swann's Lake of Despair by Charles Salzberg

A Mysterious Review of Swann's Lake of Despair by Charles Salzberg. A Henry Swann Mystery.

Review summary: It's a little slow going at first, as each of three subplots requires its own setup and there is nothing to connect them. But it's quite intriguing as an end game is negotiated for all three. There's a nuanced complexity here that makes this all very appealing in the end. A solid mystery and one that is recommended.

Our rating:

Swann's Lake of Despair
Charles Salzberg
A Henry Swann Mystery
Five Star (October 2014)

Publisher synopsis: 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.

Tanzi's Game by C. I. Dennis

A Vince Tanzi Mystery (3rd in series)

Publisher: C. I. Dennis

Price: $2.99 (as of 01/11/2015 at 4:30 PM ET).

  

Ex-deputy and former private investigator Vince Tanzi is a family man now, and there is no longer any room for staking out motels and chasing after bad guys. Not with a nine-month-old kid in the back seat. Vince has reluctantly retired to focus on child rearing, recovering from a near-fatal injury, and the occasional knitting project. That is, until his best friend's mother vanishes without explanation.

This third adventure takes him to southernmost Florida and closer to the Equator when the trail leads offshore. He is up against the Pimentel family, formerly of the Hialeah numbers racket, but now respectable citizens. Sort of. He is also up against his own personal issues, including a tenuous marriage and some unwelcome distractions.
