She's hiding a deadly secret …

  and someone wants to make sure Amber Talbot never reveals it. When she becomes the target of a car bomb and a home invasion, she gets the message loud and clear. If she tells anyone her secret, she will die. The person charged with protecting her is police detective Patrick Wiley — the fiancé she walked away from but never forgot. The same man she never wanted to tell about the attack that left her for dead. Back then Patrick couldn't save her. Now he must. Because the attacker has returned to finish what he started. Except this time he's got them both in his sights.

One Kick, A Kick Lannigan Mystery by Chelsea Cain, Now Available at a Special Price

Omnimystery News is always searching for newly discounted mystery, suspense, thriller and crime novels for our readers to enjoy.

Today, we're pleased to present the following title, now available at a special price courtesy of the publisher, Simon & Schuster …

One Kick by Chelsea Cain

A Kick Lannigan Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Simon & Schuster

Price: $1.99 (as of 03/28/2015 at 1:00 PM ET).

  

Famously kidnapped at age six, Kick Lannigan captured America's hearts when she was rescued five years later. Now, twenty-one, she finds herself unexpectedly entangled in a missing child case that will put her talents to the test.

Trained as a marksman, lock picker, escape artist and bomb maker by her abductor, Kick could not return to the life of the average young girl after her release. So, in lieu of therapy, she mastered martial arts, boxing, and knife throwing; learned how to escape from the trunk of a car, jimmy a pair of handcuffs, and walk without making a sound — all before she was thirteen.

Kick has trained herself to be safe. But then two children go missing in three weeks, and an enigmatic and wealthy former weapons dealer approaches her with a proposition. John Bishop uses his fortune and contacts to track down missing children. Not only is he convinced Kick can help recover the two children — he won't take no for an answer.

With lives hanging in the balance, Kick is set to be the crusader she has always imagined herself. Little does she know that the answers she and Bishop seek are hidden in one of the few places she doesn't want to navigate — the dark corners of her own mind.

Dr. Piper Meadows heads to the Body, Mind & Spirit Expo expecting to solve health problems, not murder. But her first day starts off wrong when famous psychic Mystic Ming compares her hair to a "dung beetle's nest" and tries to get her kicked out of the show. But Piper's bad-hair day gets worse when her Aunt Alfa gets in a public scuffle with Mystic Ming, where he accuses her of trying to poison him with her peanut oil-based essential oils. When Mystic Ming drops dead from his serving of killer kung pao laced with peanut oil, it's no surprise that Aunt Alfa is fingered as the prime suspect.

Unwilling to let her auntie squander her golden years in prison, Piper orders a set of How To Be a PI flashcards and sets out to find the real killer. Secrets and suspects sprout up faster than wheat grass — including a handsome tattoo artist, Tattoo Tex, who intrigues Piper more than she'd like to admit. But can she trust him? Piper had better solve the case of the killer kung pao before the murderer turns his sights on victim number two … one sleuthing doctor!

The Case Files of Max Christian, PI (2nd in series)

Publisher: Peter Goldman

Price: $2.99 (as of 03/27/2015 at 7:30 PM ET).

  

Max Christian, the only private investigator known to hold regular conversations with the ghost of Albert Camus, thinks the assignment is simple enough. An old friend running for Congress wants some assistance — starting with confirming or denying a suspicion her bad-boy husband might be cheating on her. He should know nothing's ever really that simple.

Christian's former NYPD homicide partner, Tina Falcone, has her own problems. Newly married to her longtime girlfriend, Falcone finds herself at the center of a serial killer investigation, hunting a latter-day Jack the Ripper preying on young women with dreams of stardom.

As the two seemingly independent cases merge, Christian and Falcone find themselves in an ever-changing world of shape-shifters, where mafia types rub shoulders with billionaire bankers and no one is ever exactly who he or she seems to be. Targeted by a vicious hit man, Christian is going to have to make an unhappy self-discovery — or his next conversation with Camus will be in the afterlife.

— The Shape-Shifters by Peter Goldman

When Connaught fails to return from his early morning swim in the river, the alarm is immediately raised. And before long his body is found.

It soon becomes apparent that nearly everyone in the school will benefit from Connaught's death. Some inherit his money, others move into Abbey Lodge, and the headmaster of the school is rid of a bitter rival. With everyone a suspect, how will the Inspector manage to untangle the threads of this mystery?

When the murderer strikes again it becomes clear time is of the essence … It is clear that more than one person is lying. Are they all in it together? Or is the killer covering his tracks by exposing the motives for murder?

Telemystery News: New Trailer for HBO's The Casual Vacancy

A new trailer for the adaptation of J. K. Rowling's The Casual Vacancy has been released by HBO (below). The book is the first written by Rowling after completing her series of Harry Potter young adult novels. Not a mystery per se, but there are elements of suspense in the storyline.

In the teleplay, as the Pagford Parish Council prepares for a vote on what will become of Sweetlove House — a town institution and community center serving the poorer residents — Chairman Howard Mollison and his wife Shirley, who want to turn it into a tourist-destination spa, look to neutralize the threat of everyman council member Barry, a solicitor and defender of the current Sweetlove House mission. When Barry's sudden death leaves a "casual vacancy" on the council, the race to fill his seat, and determine the fate of Sweetlove, stirs up drama among residents. While Howard and Shirley push their submissive son Miles to run for election, Barry's friend and doctor, Parminder, rallies behind reluctant school headmaster Colin, while Barry's bullying brother Simon looks to capitalize off of family tragedy. Elsewhere, Terri, Barry's former neighbor and a struggling meth addict, finds it hard to stay clean while her troubled daughter Krystal takes drastic measures to help. Later, Simon's teenaged son Andrew, a.k.a. Arf, looks to expose the hypocrisy in Pagford by bringing his Uncle Barry back from the dead.

Directed by Jonny Campbell from a script by Sarah Phelps, the HBO miniseries aired earlier this year in the UK. The first two of its three parts premieres on Wednesday, April 29th, 2015, with the third and final part airing Thursday, April 30th.

The voice on the other end belongs to Frankie Stevens, a San Francisco transplant with an unusual request. Her husband, Ben, has gone missing — presumably in Barcelona — and Frankie needs a translator to help her find him. Not one to pass up a well-paying gig or a free trip to Barcelona, Cassandra takes the job. But she quickly realizes that all is not as it seems.

Frankie's charm is matched only by her guile. As Cassandra chases down leads in search of Ben, she becomes increasingly tangled in a web of half-truths — and caught between former flames Ana and Carmen.
