Six years ago James blew town after killing his cop-father in a bank job gone bad. When his sister informs him that their mother's health is fading fast, he returns home, wanting to make peace with her before she passes. But James quickly finds there is little peace left for him at his childhood home.

His father's old partner has been biding his time, waiting for a chance at retribution, and finally discovers James is back. But he's only one of the many shady characters James must face if he is to survive the next few days. Not only must James survive his return, he must also face the devastation he left behind, the shattered pieces of what remained of his life before he was forced to run. Now his days on the run are over.

Upon the edge of reckoning, James's past comes full circle to the final showdown with his personal demons and the devils that are closing in.

The Honest Folk of Guadeloupe by Timothy Williams, New in Bookstores during January 2015

Today's featured new hardcover mystery, suspense, or thriller title scheduled to be published during January 2015 is …

The Honest Folk of Guadeloupe by Timothy Williams, an Anne Marie Laveaud Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Soho Crime

    

April 1990: French-Algerian judge Anne Marie Laveaud has been living and working in the French Caribbean département of Guadeloupe for more than a decade, but her days are still full of surprises. She is only just starting to investigate the suspicious suicide of a high-profile environmental activist and media personality when she is pulled off the case. Is it because she was getting too close to the truth?

But the new case she's been assigned takes precedence. The naked body of a white woman has been discovered on a beach. The victim's remains offer no clues about her final hours — she was found without any of her belongings, and it seems she had been dead at least three days before anyone spotted her corpse. What turned this woman's vacation in paradise into a final nightmare?

As always, the story of a murdered white woman attracts international media attention. The pressure is on Anne Marie to solve the murder quickly, before bad publicity destroys the island's all-important tourist industry.

— The Honest Folk of Guadeloupe by Timothy Williams
