Life's not easy growing up on the Aviary Estate in South London. Alysha and her mates have survived being abused by people who should have been there for them, their lives ruined by the crime and deprivation around them.

Now they're taking the estate back — taking control so that kids can grow up safe with real prospects in life.

So when the rival South London Rulers gang start encroaching on their territory, Alysha and her Alley Cats decided to teach them a lesson.

The last thing they expect is to find one of their rivals murdered on their patch. The last thing they want is for the police to start sniffing around. But DI Georgia Johnson and her team want answers. Johnson trusts Alysha — but will she still trust her when she realises her prized informant is leading her own gang? When another body is found — a teenage girl this time — Alysha decides to frame the evil leader of the South London Rulers, Harisha Celik, for the murder … but Celik has a few nasty surprises of his own in store for the Alley Cats girls.

Targeted by Marjorie Swift Doering

A Ray Schiller Mystery (3rd in series)

Repaying a debt of gratitude becomes costlier than Detective Ray Schiller ever imagined possible. A beautiful friend from his past becomes the prime suspect in her estranged husband's murder. Ray's insistence on her innocence, despite overwhelming evidence, gets him removed from the case for conflict of interest, which leaves the case in the hands of his partner Dick Waverly.

As stubborn as he is loyal, Ray's inability to maintain a hands-off approach to the investigation leads to conflict of a far more personal nature. His involvement and the killer's twisted mindset collide, leading him on a nightmarish race to save everything he holds dear.

— Targeted by Marjorie Swift Doering

The past is closing in on Christine Scott. Uprooted from her pleasant life in Chicago, she and her two children are thrust into the Witness Security Program when the mistakes of her husband catch up with him. He lands in prison, while she and the kids are transplanted to a quiet Kansas town. Christine does her best to keep life normal for her active ten-year-old son and persistently moody seventeen-year old daughter. But when they start receiving gifts from an anonymous sender, reminders of their old life, it becomes obvious that someone has found them.

Doug Jackson's been in service with the US Marshal's office for fifteen years. He hasn't lost a witness yet, and doesn't intend to start with Christine or her family. If he can get them to cooperate, his job might be easier. Unfortunately, no one seems concerned about making Doug's life easy. Not the man in the white sedan who eludes him, nor the pretty Christine, thoughts of whom he can't seem to shake. Their lives depend on Doug keeping his head in the game, and he's determined to do just that.

In the waning months of the second World War, a group of children discover an earthen tunnel in their neighborhood outside London. Throughout the summer of 1944 — until one father forbids it — the subterranean space becomes their "secret garden," where the friends play games and tell stories.

Six decades later, beneath a house on the same land, construction workers uncover a tin box containing two skeletal hands, one male and one female. As the discovery makes national news, the friends come together once again, to recall their days in the tunnel for the detective investigating the case. Is the truth buried among these aging friends and their memories?

This impromptu reunion causes long-simmering feelings to bubble to the surface. Alan, stuck in a passionless marriage, begins flirting with Daphne, a glamorous widow. Michael considers contacting his estranged father, who sent Michael to live with an aunt after his mother vanished in 1944. Lewis begins remembering details about his Uncle James, an army private who once accompanied the children into the tunnels, and who later disappeared.

In a house under renovation, a plumber uncovers a cellar no one knew about, and makes a rather grisly discovery — a decapitated chicken, animal bones, and cauldrons containing beads, feathers, and other relics of religious ceremonies. In the center of the shrine, there is the skull of a teenage girl. Meanwhile, on a nearby lakeshore, the headless body of a teenage boy is found by a man walking his dog.

Nothing is clear — neither when the deaths occurred, nor where. Was the skull brought to the cellar or was the girl murdered there? Why is the boy's body remarkably well preserved? Led by a preacher turned politician, citizen vigilantes blame devil worshippers and Wiccans. They begin a witch-hunt, intent on seeking revenge.

The Figaro Murders by Laura Lebow, New in Bookstores during March 2015

Today's featured new hardcover mystery, suspense, or thriller title scheduled to be published during March 2015 is …

The Figaro Murders by Laura Lebow, Non-Series

Publisher: Minotaur Books

    

In 1786 Vienna, Lorenzo Da Ponte is the court librettist for the Italian Theatre during the height of the enlightened reign of Emperor Joseph II. This exalted position doesn't mean he's particularly well paid, or even out of reach of the endless intrigues of the opera world. In fact, far from it.

One morning, Da Ponte stops off at his barber, only to find the man being taken away to debtor's prison. Da Ponte impetuously agrees to carry a message to his barber's fiancée and try to help her set him free, even though he's facing pressures of his own. He's got one week to finish the libretto for The Marriage of Figaro for Mozart before the opera is premiered for the Emperor himself.

Da Ponte visits the house where the barber's fiancée works — the home of a nobleman, high in the Vienna's diplomatic circles — and then returns to his own apartments, only to be dragged from his rooms in the middle of the night. It seems the young protégé of the diplomat was killed right about the time Da Ponte was visiting, and he happens to be their main suspect. Now he's given a choice — go undercover into the household and uncover the murderer, or be hanged for the crime himself.
