Zero Day by Mark Russinovich

Zero Day by Mark Russinovich
A Jeff Aiken Mystery (1st in series)
Publisher: St. Martin's Press

An airliner's controls abruptly fail mid-flight over the Atlantic. An oil tanker runs aground in Japan when its navigational system suddenly stops dead. Hospitals everywhere have to abandon their computer databases when patients die after being administered incorrect dosages of their medicine. In the Midwest, a nuclear power plant nearly becomes the next Chernobyl when its cooling systems malfunction.

At first, these random computer failures seem like unrelated events. But Jeff Aiken, a former government analyst who quit in disgust after witnessing the gross errors that led up to 9/11, thinks otherwise. Jeff fears a more serious attack targeting the United States computer infrastructure is already under way. And as other menacing computer malfunctions pop up around the world, some with deadly results, he realizes that there isn't much time if he hopes to prevent an international catastrophe.

A Lord Peter Wimsey/Harriet Vane Mystery
Publisher: Minotaur Books

It was 1921 when Lord Peter Wimsey first encountered the Attenbury Emeralds. The recovery of the gems in Lord Attenbury's dazzling heirloom collection made headlines — and launched a shell-shocked young aristocrat on his career as a detective.

Thirty years later, a happily married Lord Peter has just shared the secrets of that mystery with his wife, the detective novelist Harriet Vane. Suddenly, the new Lord Attenbury — grandson of Lord Peter's first client — seeks his help to prove who owns the emeralds. As Harriet and Peter contemplate the changes that the war has wrought on English society — and Peter, who always cherished the liberties of a younger son, faces the unwanted prospect of ending up the Duke of Denver after all.

Please Welcome Crime Novelist D.B. Carew

Omnimystery News: Author Interview with D.B. Carew
with D.B. Carew

We are delighted to welcome novelist D.B. Carew to Omnimystery News today.

D.B.'s debut crime thriller is The Killer Trail (NeWest Press; May 2014 trade paperback and ebook formats) and we recently had the chance to catch up with him to talk about the book.

— ♦ —

Omnimystery News: We introduced The Killer Trail as a crime thriller. Would you agree with that?

D.B. Carew

D.B. Carew

D.B. Carew: It could be categorized as a psychological thriller, suspense or mystery novel as it shares these elements but I don't get too concerned about the category, for me it's crime fiction.

OMN: Are any of the plot elements based on real events?

DBC: Yes, the original idea for the story came about after I found a cell phone on a snowy trail and tried returning it to its owner. I started asking What If questions and let my imagination run wild with questions about who the phone might belong to, resulting in the opening scenes for the book.

OMN: How much of your own personal or professional experience have you included in the book?

DBC: Well, like Chris Ryder, the main character in the book, I work in a forensic psychiatric hospital as a social worker. I knew early on that I wanted part of the setting to take place in a psychiatric hospital. I initially considered having the main character working as a psychiatrist or psychologist but realized there are already a number of protagonists in other stories who come from those professional backgrounds. I thought a forensic psychiatric social worker might bring a different perspective and one that I could easily draw upon, from the write what you know point of view. However, I also knew that once I made the decision to make the character a social worker, some people would undoubtedly wonder if the character is based on me. He's not. Unlike Chris Ryder, I'm not suffering career burn out or struggling with a crumbling marriage, or fighting a psychopathic killer. Thankfully!

OMN: Did you based any of the characters on people you know?

DBC: Yes and No. It would be difficult for me to say that I wasn't influenced by certain people in some way or another at some point in the writing of this story. But at the same time, I made a concentrated effort to ensure that the forensic psychiatric hospital setting, as well as the patients and staff in that setting were purely fictional. In my opinion it would be inappropriate for me to draw upon real experiences from my workplace or base characters on patients or staff with whom I've worked.

OMN: What is the best advice you've received as an author?

DBC: As a new writer starting out, I hear so many stories about how hard it is to make it in the writing world, and it's easy to receive conflicting messages on how to successfully navigate this industry. One piece of advice though, which seems to be consistent is "Don't quit your day job". I love writing and I dream about getting to the point where I'm able to make a living doing what I love. But I'm not there yet, so in the meantime the challenge for me is to do my best in balancing family, work, and writing, and making the most of the time I have for writing. It definitely becomes a matter of quality time as opposed to quantity.

OMN: What advice might you offer other aspiring writers?

DBC: My advice would be to follow your passion and believe in yourself. I know it sounds cliché and I can hear Journey's Don't Stop Believin' playing in my head as I say it! But it's also true. I started writing because I was curious how far I could go in developing a story about a guy who finds a cell phone. Along the way, I was fortunate that a friend and work colleague encouraged me to join him in entering a writing competition for the Crime Writers' Association's Debut Dagger in 2010. By the time the deadline came around I was only about five thousand words into the story and really only had a rough draft, so I didn't get anywhere in terms of that competition. But the experience galvanized my resolve to finish the story and once I finished it, I became curious as to how far I could go in terms of publication. I've had the great fortune of being shortlisted for the Debut Dagger in 2013 and am looking forward to the book being released through NeWest Press in May. That's not to say there haven't been setbacks along the way. There have. I'm a runner and for me writing is like running a marathon in that you need to pace yourself and be prepared for those grueling moments, never losing sight of the end goal, whatever that end goal may be. In my opinion, it's about passion, hard work, determination, perseverance, timing and luck.

OMN: How did you go about researching the plot points of the book?

DBC: My first hand experience of working in a psychiatric hospital helped me when it came to fact checking for my book. I was also able to consult with colleagues in psychiatry when it came to certain aspects such as Dangerous Offender status and the Psychopathy Checklist Revised (PCL-R).

OMN: What was your most exciting topics to research?

DBC: Researching psychopathy and creating the psychopathic villain Ray Owens was one of the highlights in writing this book. While I would never want to tangle with a Ray Owens — like character in real life, writing his dark and twisted character into scenes in the book was a blast.

OMN: Complete this sentence for us: "I am a crime novelist and thus I am also …".

DBC: "… prone to look for an imaginative criminal twist to even the seemingly mundane elements of daily life."

I've always been curious about human behaviour and why we do the things we do. As a student I was drawn to courses in psychology and criminology and my work life has primarily been in the field of forensic psychiatric social work. It's probably no big surprise, then, that when it comes to writing, I'm drawn to stories that involve an exploration of human behaviour in some form or another.

OMN: Where does the book take place?

DBC: The early part of the book takes place on a trail called Woodland Park, located outside the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. Although the park is fictional, I wanted to keep the setting true to its geography and local environment so while the Lower Mainland is not prone to blizzard like conditions on a regular basis, when these conditions do occur it creates havoc as in the book.

OMN: How important is setting to the plot?

DBC: This setting played a key role in the plot because the main character finds a phone in the park, which sets a series of acts in motion for the rest of the book.

The other key setting is the Institute of Forensic Psychiatry and while this is a fictional setting, it is modeled after what a typical forensic psychiatric hospital would look and operate like in reality.

OMN: If The Killer Trail were to be adapted for television or film, who do you see playing the key roles?

DBC: An easy choice for the villain Ray Owens would be Woody Harrelson based on the memorable roles he's played with those types of characters in the past.

When it comes to the main character, Chris Ryder, who is a tormented soul trying to do the right thing under extraordinarily difficult circumstances, Kevin Bacon readily comes to mind. But this is subject to personal opinion and I'd be interested in hearing the views of others after reading the book.

OMN: Have any specific authors influenced how and what you write today?

DBC: My earlier influences included Stephen King, Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson and Jonathan Kellerman to name a few. These days I tend to read Michael Connelly, Linwood Barclay, Jo Nesbø and Michael Robotham for starters.

OMN: How about films?

DBC: The Silence of the Lambs was a definite early influence, the book and the movie.

OMN: What are some of your outside interests? Have any of these found their way into the book?

DBC: Some of my hobbies outside of writing include running and music and both activities have managed to find their way into my book.

OMN: What's next for you?

DBC: The Killer Trail is the first installment in what I've been calling "The Fighting Darkness" series. I've completed plot outlines for books two and three in the series and I'm presently at the early stages of writing the second book and very excited with the direction it's taking!

A Rich Brant Mystery
Publisher: Tarkus Press

The call came in the middle of the night. Rich Brant was just sweating through another Vietnam nightmare when the phone rang.

"It's Kit," his brother moaned. "They've taken her."

They don't know what they've done  …

Kidnapped from a busy mall, Brant's beloved 19-year old niece is in a world of trouble. Hard-nosed inquiries suggest that she has been snatched for auction by the international sexual slavery ring run by the ruthless Goran, also known as The Serb. Kit's final destination: a modern harem, a brothel, a dungeon, or one of the Serb's kinky slavery clubs.

Or worse.

Now Brant will need his inconsistent and sometimes unreliable psychic ability more than he ever did in Vietnam and what came after  …

A Real Estate Diva Mystery
Publisher: A Few Little Books

Meet Allison Little, the biggest realtor in town.

"The first thing you should know about me is that I do not cut my own hair with nail scissors. Please. Robert would kill me if I even considered touching my hair with my own two hands.
I'm not a doctor and I never know exactly why a body is dead, I only know that when you find a dead body in the kitchen, it makes it that much more difficult to sell the house, what with all the hysteria about full disclosure now-a-days.
Difficult, but not impossible.
I am not a national park ranger. I do not work while also caring for adorable children or difficult teens. In fact I completely forgot to have children. Some where in my past, the word children was written on some long ago goal list along with items like white wedding at the Marin Country Club and Lose 150 pounds by Christmas penciled in just below that."

The Devil's Violin by Art Johnson

The Devil's Violin
Art Johnson
A Suspense Thriller
Publisher: Story Merchant Books

The world's most prized violin becomes the centerpiece of intrigue as FBI Special Investigator Chris Clarke and his partner Carlos "Chubbs" Gonzales weave their way through a maze containing a notorious assassin, Illuminati, secret documents, a master violin forger and his deceptive and charismatic daughter, a Hollywood film producer and one of L.A.'s finest and most neurotic sneak-thieves.

The chase across two continents resolves in an art gallery in the South of France for a shocker of an ending.

FBI Special Investigator Chris Clarke doesn't like "… anything or anyone" in his way while working a case. In his seventeen years with the Bureau, he has dealt with everything from retrieving stolen works of art to tackling some of the world's biggest scumbags.

With his diverse background of art evaluation and Desert Storm duty, Chris Clarke is ready for all comers. Only one fugitive haunts his thoughts: the notorious and ruthless assassin known only as "The Man in Black", whose trail of contract killings had never led law enforcement to anything but a figure lurking in the shadows.

One morning in August 2010, "The Man in Black" suddenly popped up, seen by witnesses in Cremona, Italy to have been in the area where a young violinist was found dead with his throat cut. Chris Clarke and Gonzales head off to Europe to track down the assassin while attempting to decode the mystery that lies behind the motive.

Weeks before, Hollywood movie-mogul Max Pendleton, who loves fine works of art, no matter how they are acquired, hires veteran sneak-thief Gus Edward Happy to fly to Europe and steal the most valuable violin in existence — the famed violin coveted by the Jimi Hendrix of the nineteenth century, Niccolo Paganini — thought to be in league with the devil because his genius was unexplainable in earthly terms.

Through a tangled web involving Illuminati, secret documents in the possession of Paganini at his death, a master violin forger and his deceptive daughter, thieves, and assassins, Clarke faces the challenge of his career as he and his partner Gonzales move across Italy to the South of France where pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place with the Devil's Violin center stage, leading to a rapid-fire conclusion.

Borderlands by Brian McGilloway
A Benedict Devlin Mystery (1st in series)
Publisher: Minotaur Books

Winter 2002. The corpse of local teenager Angela Cashell is found on the Tyrone-Donegal border, between the North and South of Ireland, in an area known as the Borderlands. Garda Inspector Benedict Devlin heads the investigation. The only clues are a gold ring placed on the girl's finger and an old photograph, left where she died.

While Devlin searches for the girl's killer, her father has his own ideas about who is responsible — and his own ideas about how to make them pay. Meanwhile, Devlin becomes reacquainted with an old flame eager to rekindle their affair.

Then another teenager is murdered, and Devlin unearths a link between the recent killings and the disappearance of a prostitute twenty-five years earlier — a case in which he fears one of his own colleagues is implicated. As a thickening snow storm blurs the border between North and South, Devlin finds the distinction between right and wrong, vengeance and justice, and even police officer and criminal becoming equally unclear.
