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

The Bones Will Speak by Carrie Stuart Parks

A Gwen Marcey Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Price: $1.99 (as of 07/26/2016 at 8:00 PM ET).

  

When Gwen Marcey's dog comes home with a human skull and then leads her to a cabin in the woods near her Montana home, she realizes there's a serial killer in her community. And when she finds a tortured young girl clinging to life on the cabin floor, she knows this killer is a lunatic.

Yet what unsettles Gwen most is that the victim looks uncannily like her daughter.

The search for the torturer leads back in time to a neo-Nazi bombing in Washington state — a bombing with only one connection to Montana: Gwen. The group has a race-not-grace model of salvation … and they've marked Gwen as a race traitor.

When it becomes clear that the killer has a score to settle, Gwen finds herself in a battle against time. She will have to use all of her forensic skills to find the killer before he can carry out his threat to destroy her — and the only family she has left.

Review: Two for the Show by Jonathan Stone

A Mysterious Review of Two for the Show by Jonathan Stone.

Review summary: This is definitely an ambitious story, but one that may be trying to accomplish too much. There is a lot going on here. The scope of the storyline certainly has potential and how it develops and plays out is intriguing, but it doesn't quite come together cleanly in the end. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating:

Two for the Show
Jonathan Stone
Thomas & Mercer (May 2016)

Publisher synopsis: Chas is a detective who doesn't stake out cheating husbands, track down missing persons, or match wits with femmes fatales. Instead of pounding the pavement, he taps a computer keyboard. He can get the goods on anyone, and it's all to make sure superstar Las Vegas mind reader Wallace the Amazing stays amazing. Thanks to Chas's steady stream of stealthy intel, Wallace's mental "magic" packs houses every night.

But when someone threatens to call the psychic showman's bluff, the sweet gig takes a sour — and sinister — turn. Who's the clean-cut couple gunning for Wallace with an arsenal of dirty tricks? Why does Wallace keep upping the ante instead of backing down? And just how much does Chas really know about his mysterious boss's life … or his own? The tangled truth — of blackmail, kidnapping, and false identities — quickly becomes the biggest case of his strange, secret career.

FBI Agent Ren Bryce finds herself entangled in two seemingly unrelated mysteries. But the past has a way of echoing down the years and finding its way into the present …

When Special Agent Ren Bryce discovers the body of a young woman in an abandoned car, solving the case becomes personal. But the more she uncovers about the victim's last movements, the more questions are raised.

Why was Laura Flynn driving towards a ranch for troubled teens in the middle of Colorado when her employers thought she was hundreds of miles away? And what did she know about a case from fifty years ago, which her death dramatically reopens?

As Ren and cold case investigator Janine Hooks slowly weave the threads together, a picture emerges of a privileged family determined to hide some very dark secrets — whatever the cost.

Price: $2.99 (as of 07/26/2016 at 4:30 PM ET).

  

Mike Parker gets to hear the bad news from his doctor — he has only six months to live. Shortly after, while he is contemplating the fate of himself and his children, he is made an offer from a mysterious organisation — carry out a quite dangerous task for a huge sum of money that could secure his children's future. The deal is simple — carry out the task and, if you get caught, keep your mouth shut for the six months — then your children get to inherit a lot of money! Who would refuse?

As the task gets underway, he senses that the nature of the organisation and the task are very sinister, and not quite what he had been led to believe. He is also assigned a task partner who is something of a mystery in her own right, and the police are sniffing around.

Maybe this isn't going to be as straightforward as he first thought.

At least it will be all over in six months — or will it?

Bounty by Michael Byrnes, A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: Ballantine Books

 

When a notorious Wall Street vulture is executed in his high-rise office by a sniper's bullet, it's the kill shot heard around the world. Welcome to Bounty4Justice.com, a rogue website for vigilante assassins, where outraged citizens bid up bounties on corporate crooks and corrupt elites. As the number of targets soars, amateur bounty hunters and professional hit men compete to exterminate the condemned, "proof-of-death" videos become Internet sensations, and the self-styled Robin Hood pulling the strings threatens to plunge the international community into anarchy.

Along with other law enforcement agencies across the globe, the FBI and its agents on the case — led by Roman Novak and Rosemary Michaels — are desperately seeking a way to outmaneuver and overpower an all-but-invisible adversary with millions of dollars at its disposal and the ability to cripple the most sophisticated attackers with a keystroke. Following a black-hat hacker extraordinaire down a rabbit hole of firewalls, encryption, and unbreakable codes leads Novak and Michaels into the virtual underworld of the darknet — a seemingly impenetrable haven for the illicit and illegal where Bounty4Justice's mastermind is almost certainly hiding. But just when the agents think they are close to breaching their quarry's digital fortress, they find themselves stalked by an army of cyber outlaws out for blood.
