When Richard Patton decides to give his old friend ex-Chief Superintendent Llew Hughes a call out of the blue, little does he expect Llew to answer sounding frantic. He desperately begs Richard to visit him, and reveals that he believes there have been attempts on his life. Llew has been writing his memoirs, and has discovered something suspicious in an old case …

But as Richard and Amelia approach Llew's house they see that it is ablaze — they are too late. Llew is killed in the fire before he has a chance to explain. In the wake of Llew's suspicious death, Richard takes up his investigation. But as he opens the old case, old grievances are disturbed and before long, Richard is drawn into a web of lies that could cost him his own life. Two men stand in his way: the convicted murderer of the Edwin Carter case, and a disdainful officer who will stop at nothing to halt his investigations.

Can he solve two murders, one old, one new, and uncover the secret behind an alibi given too soon?

A John Puller Thriller (3rd in series)

Price: $2.99 (as of 01/23/2015 at 4:00 PM ET).

  

It's a prison unlike any other. Military discipline rules. Its security systems are unmatched. None of its prisoners dream of escaping. They know it's impossible … until now.

John Puller's older brother, Robert, was convicted of treason and national security crimes. His inexplicable escape from prison makes him the most wanted criminal in the country. Some in the government believe that John Puller represents their best chance at capturing Robert alive, and so Puller must bring in his brother to face justice.

But Puller quickly discovers that his brother is pursued by others who don't want him to survive. Puller is in turn pushed into an uneasy, fraught partnership with another agent, who may have an agenda of her own.

They dig more deeply into the case together, and Puller finds that not only are her allegiances unclear, but there are troubling details about his brother's conviction … and someone out there doesn't want the truth to ever come to light. As the nationwide manhunt for Robert grows more urgent, Puller's masterful skills as an investigator and strengths as a fighter may not be enough to save his brother-or himself.

Macdeath by Cindy Brown, a New 1st in Series Mystery Introducing Ivy Meadows

Omnimystery News is pleased to present you with one of this month's new 1st in Series titles, a mystery, thriller or suspense novel that introduces a recurring character (or characters) …

Macdeath by Cindy Brown

An Ivy Meadows Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Henery Press

  

What we know about the character: Ivy Meadows is a stage actress. For more information about her first murder, see a synopsis of the book, below.

Like every actor, Ivy Meadows knows that Macbeth is cursed. But she's finally scored her big break, cast as an acrobatic witch in a circus-themed production of Macbeth in Phoenix, Arizona. And though it may not be Broadway, nothing can dampen her enthusiasm — not her flying caldron, too-tight leotard, or carrot-wielding dictator of a director.

But when one of the cast dies on opening night, Ivy is sure the seeming accident is "murder most foul" and that she's the perfect person to solve the crime (after all, she does work part-time in her uncle's detective agency). Undeterred by a poisoned Big Gulp, the threat of being blackballed, and the suddenly too-real curse, Ivy pursues the truth at the risk of her hard-won career — and her life.
