Jokerman by Tim Stevens
A John Purkiss Thriller (3rd in series)
Publisher: Tim Stevens

On a summer's morning in the leafy, well-to-do English county of Surrey, the Home Secretary is conducting a highly secret meeting with a member of MI5, the British Security Service. A sniper takes aim, hits his target, and a chain of events is set in motion that will have momentous repercussions.

John Purkiss is tasked with hunting down rogue spies within SIS, Britain's overseas intelligence service. So when he's asked to investigate an assassination suspected to have been the work of an agent within MI5, he refuses. The Security Service can catch its own rats.

Then Purkiss is subject to a violent attack in his own home, an attack which leaves his closest friend near to death. And suddenly he has a personal reason for becoming involved.

Gradually his pursuit of the truth exposes a tortuous conspiracy which reaches deep into the heart of British counterintelligence and the body politic. Forced to enlist the help of an old enemy, a man he'd sworn to kill, and in an atmosphere of increasing paranoia and distrust, Purkiss finds himself doubting the motives of the very people closest to him, as he nears the final, climactic showdown with the killer known as the Jokerman …

When evil invades her town for a second time and a little girl is missing, she needs to team up with the man she loved and betrayed to find the truth.

Years ago, Leigh Hampton could have given Wade Conner an alibi when he was accused of an unspeakable crime. Too afraid of her father's wrath, Leigh didn't say a word. Now Wade has come back to their sleepy, southern town, and another little girl has suddenly, mysteriously vanished.

Wade has made a success of himself far from Kinley, but the townspeople still consider him that good-for-nothing Conner boy. Leigh can't rewrite the past, but she knows the crime will never be solved as long as Wade is the prime suspect.

It's up to Leigh to convince Wade that together they have the best chance to track down the real criminal. And maybe, just maybe, they'll also find a future for themselves.

Wolves howl as a riderless horse returns at sunset to the Culpepper Dude Ranch in the Madison Valley. The missing woman, Nanika Martinelli, is better known as the Fly Fishing Venus, a red-haired river guide who lures clients the way dry flies draw trout.

As Sheriff Martha Ettinger follows hoof tracks in the snow, she finds one of the men who has fallen under the temptress's spell impaled on the antler tine of a giant bull elk, a kill that's been claimed by a wolf pack. An accident? If not, is the killer human or animal? With painter, fly fisherman, and sometimes private detective Sean Stranahan's help, Ettinger will follow clues that point to an animal rights group called the Clan of the Three-Clawed Wolf and to their svengali master, whose eyes blaze with pagan fire.

In their most dangerous adventure yet, Stranahan and Ettinger find themselves in the crossfire of wolf lovers, wolf haters, and a sister bent on revenge, and on the trail of an alpha male gone terribly wrong.

Last Chance To Run
Dianna Love
A Novel of Romantic Suspense
Publisher: Silver Hawk Press

To an undercover agent, she's a Person of Interest. He's interested.

Escaping the compound of a deadly international felon — with a fortune in rare, stolen coins hidden on her body — elite athlete Angel Farentino has to make the most important run of her life. Literally. With her father in prison, where he belongs, and a prior undeserved conviction hanging over her head, she has nowhere to turn and no one to trust. Definitely not law enforcement who railroaded her through a judicial nightmare. One step ahead of lethal men and dogs on her trail, she runs into the arms of a dark stranger willing to help her if she'd let him. But that would only get the sexy pilot killed.

Between figuring out who's sabotaging his undercover work for the DEA and trying to save his baby sister from herself, Zane Jackson has enough on his plate. The last thing he needs is to get entangled with a woman who's treading on the wrong side of the law. But when the long-legged distraction races into the middle of his operation and stows away on his plane, a primal need to protect forces Zane to risk everything, starting with his heart.

Can you decipher the riddle?

After six years of duty in the navy, Dalton Paine returns home to Alaska anxious to see his Aunt Kate, who raised him, to marry his Thai girlfriend, who waited for him, and to follow the trail of his ancestors, who were gold rush prospectors.

Mourning his aunt's untimely death days before his arrival, he follows his legacy upriver only to find what he never expected, an amulet and a journal on a 250 year old skeleton.

Beached in a storm on an uncharted island, and befriended by the Thai monk who saved his schooner, and entrusted with the delivery of an amulet, and cursed in the task by war and shipwreck, and revealing the secret with his last scribbled breath was the amulet really a map to a hidden treasure?

Only after his girlfriend's younger sister is kidnapped back in Thailand does Dalton find that question in need of an urgent answer.
