The Hurting Game by Nathan Gottlieb

The Hurting Game
Nathan Gottlieb
A Frank Boff Mystery
Publisher: Endless String

What would you do if your best friend was killed right in front of you, and the assassin fled without a trace and was never found? Would you wait forever for justice to run its course, or take it into your own hands?

What would you do if you were a private investigator specializing in defending indicted felons but was forced to switch to the other side of the street to hunt down a killer? If your family is threatened along the way, and someone tries to kill you, would bringing the murderer to justice satisfy you? Or would you want something more?

Welcome to the murky world of boxer Danny Cullen and former legendary DEA agent Frank Boff, a world where the line between right and wrong gets bent out of shape and the only real satisfaction is vengeance.

They are the unlikeliest of teams. Cullen is a disciplined professional boxer who plays by the rules. Boff is a maverick investigator who believes anything goes as long as he doesn't get caught doing it. They have nothing in common except the mission: find out who killed Cullen's best friend, world champion boxer Julio Babbas.

Neither attempts to hide their disdain for each other. But like it or not, they find themselves travel partners on a journey into a Shadow World where Cullen's friend lived and died. What they find there shocks Cullen and eventually pulls him over to the Dark Side, a place Boff calls home. Constantly in conflict, they find a common ground: find the killer and seek a punishment more just than justice.

The Romanov Legacy by Jenni Wiltz

The Romanov Legacy
Jenni Wiltz
A Historical Thriller
Publisher: Jenni Wiltz

A family murdered in the dead of night. A treasure lost in the throes of revolution. A ninety-year quest that Lenin, Stalin, and the entire Soviet war chest couldn't solve. One woman holds the key to it all: the missing fortune of Nicholas II, last tsar of Russia.

Natalie Brandon believes the stories — that the murdered tsar left behind a secret account intended to provide for his family in exile. Diagnosed with schizophrenia as a child, Natalie can't make anyone believe her, not even her sister, a renowned history professor. Natalie knows the account exists. She knows it can be found. But no one will listen to her until a blond, blue-eyed Russian spy kidnaps her, claiming she's the only one who can help him find it.

Constantine Dashkov never intended to kidnap a woman, let alone the wrong one. Sent to coerce Professor Beth Brandon into helping locate the tsar's account, Constantine breaks into her apartment—and finds a lethal Russian spetsnaz unit, Vympel, waiting for him. He escapes with his life … and with the wrong hostage.

Just as brilliant as her famous sister, Natalie is tormented by a recurring auditory hallucination, a voice she claims belongs to an angel named Belial. Belial, she says, told her exactly how to find the tsar's missing treasure. Their first step is to recover two coded letters written by the tsar's daughters in captivity. Those letters contain the password to their father's secret account. Natalie's ramblings make Constantine uneasy, but he knows he can't abandon her to to the trained killers on their trail. Natalie convinces him that the surest way to survive is to get those letters before Vympel does.

But Russian Prime Minister Maxim Starinov also wants the letters and will do anything to get them. Natalie and Constantine must outrun Starinov's lethal spetsnaz unit as they chase the letters from San Francisco to Moscow to London. The hunt draws in Natalie's sister, Constantine's partner, and a loyal Russian family whose only mission is to preserve the tsar's legacy. With nothing more than Belial's strange whisperings to guide them, Natalie and Constantine fight for their lives and each other in a race to protect the tsar's legacy from a greedy despot.

Will she survive to see the light of day?

On a cold January morning in 1973, inside a stately old house in Reykjavik, blood pools around Jacob Kieler Junior from a fatal gunshot wound to his chest. Detective Jóhann Pálsson, an expert in the emerging field of forensics, is called to the scene and soon discovers something more unsettling than the murder itself: the deceased's father, Jacob Kieler Senior, a railroad engineer, was shot to death in the same living room nearly thirty years earlier. The case was officially closed as a botched robbery.

Pálsson soon uncovers diaries that portray Kieler Senior as an ambitious man dedicated to bringing the railroad to Iceland no matter the cost. Sensing a deeper and darker mystery afoot, the detective and his colleagues piece together through the elder Kieler's diaries a family history rich with deceit …

Review: No Angel by Ashna Graves

Mysterious Reviews: Reviews of New Mysteries, Novels of Suspense, and Thrillers

A Mysterious Review of …

No Angel by Ashna Graves. A Jeneva Leopold Mystery.

Review summary: The well-structured murder mystery plot moves along at a steady, measured pace, not exactly slow but not zippy either. This is in part due to the somewhat introspective approach Neva takes but also the fact that the plot itself unfolds in a rather routine manner. A solid, if also cautiously safe, sequel to the excellent book that introduced this character. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating: 4 of 5 stars

No Angel Ashna Graves

No Angel
Ashna Graves
A Jeneva Leopold Mystery
Lychgate Press (October 2012)

Publisher synopsis: The murder of a homeless man known as Angel draws journalist Jeneva Leopold into worlds she had no idea existed in her sweet little Oregon town. Two more deaths soon follow. Her search for explanations leads to involvement with a strangely wise homeless woman who feeds cats, a debonair photographer who owns more valuable antiquities than he should, a sculptor with an attitude and a dubious history, an old woman with a deeply painful secret, an assistant police chief who considers Leopold Public Enemy No. 1, a violent street punk known as Quickie, and a girl skater called Pet. Neva’s confidence in her own insight and competence are deeply shaken by the outcome.

Predators by Frederick Ramsay

Predators by Frederick Ramsay
A Mpoo Kgopa Sanderson, Botswana Mystery (1st)
Publisher: Poisoned Pen Press

Read our review of Predators by Frederick Ramsay

Leo Painter is the CEO of Earth Global, a large energy, mining, and real-estate development firm. He and his party of company executives are traveling in Botswana to consult with the government about accessing their extractable resources.

Sekoa is a male lion who shares with his bipedal enemies the misfortune of being the bearer of HIV/AIDS. Weakened by the disease, he loses his place as the alpha male in his pride and now, dying and harassed by a pack of hyenas, seeks only a place to rest in peace.

Painter, pursued by his own "hyenas", only wishes to find a last resting place where he can further his dream: to build a resort/casino on Botswana's Chobe River.

Their paths cross with tragic consequences as police, a plucky woman game warden, and myriad local authorities, hoteliers, and tribesmen vie over what happened and to whom.
