Anybody's Daughter by Pamela Samuels Young

A Dre Thomas Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Goldman House Publishing

Kindle Daily Deal Price: 99¢

Thirteen-year-old Brianna Walker is ecstatic. She's about to sneak off to meet her first real boyfriend — a boyfriend she met on Facebook. But Brianna is in for a horrifying surprise because her boyfriend doesn't exist. Instead, Brianna unwittingly becomes the captive of a ring of drug dealers- turned-human traffickers who prey on lonely girls from dysfunctional homes. But they've made a big mistake in targeting Brianna because she doesn't meet either of those criteria.

Brianna's Uncle Dre, a man with his own criminal past, is determined to find the niece who is more like a daughter to him. Rather than sit back and rely on police to bring Brianna home, Dre scours the dark corners of Los Angeles looking for her. He is stunned to learn that the trafficking of children isn't just happening in other countries. It's occurring at epidemic levels right in his own backyard.

Dre is not alone in his desperate search. Loretha Johnson knows this world well. A social worker who previously lived "the life," Loretha now dedicates her time to saving as many young girls as she can find. She turns out to be an invaluable resource for Dre, who ultimately gets a lead on The Shepherd, a mastermind in the trafficking world whose every move is fueled by ego and greed. Dre vows to bring his reign of terror to an end.

While Brianna makes a futile effort to thwart her captors, Dre is getting closer and closer to finding her. The woman he loves, attorney Angela Evans, knows the dangers faced by sexually exploited children because she represents them in juvenile court. Angela lends her moral support and, eventually, an important clue to Brianna's whereabouts.

As he races against the clock, Dre ultimately comes up with a daring plan — one that puts many lives in danger, including his own. But will he find Brianna before it's too late?

Paper Doll by Joe Cosentino

A Jana Lane Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Joe Cosentino

Price: 99¢ (as of 07/28/2016 at 7:00 PM ET).

  

Jana Lane was America's most famous child star until she was attacked on the studio lot at eighteen years old. Now a thirty-eight-year-old beauty and mother of two living in a mansion in picturesque Hudson Valley, New York, Jana's flashbacks from her past turn into murder attempts in her present.

The local suspects include Jana's down-on-his-luck husband with a dislike for living off the fruits of his wife's young labor, Jana's sister and male friend (who both have eyes for Jana's husband), Jana's show business father, her deranged loyal fan, and Jana's young Guy Friday who covets her fame and shares an uncanny resemblance to Jana.

Forced to summon up the lost courage she had as a child, Jana visits the California movie studio she once called home. This sends her on a whirlwind of visits with former and current movie studio personnel. It also leads to a romance with the son of her old producer — Rocco Cavoto — the devilishly handsome filmmaker who is planning Jana's comeback both professionally and personally. With Rocco's help, Jana uncovers a web of secrets about everyone she loves, including the person who destroyed her past and threatens to snuff out her future.

This is a new ebook edition of a mystery first published in hardcover by Pocket Books in 1991.

When a high-and-mighty police chief asks Jimmy Flannery to help investigate the mysterious death of a man who remains unidentified at the morgue, Jimmy runs up against some Chicago big boys — and an underworld warlord …

Well, it finally happened. Old Chips Devlin made me committeeman for the Twenty-seventh ward. I'm the warlord now. What with the celebration and all, my diet's shot to hell. Which is why I was sweating it out at the Paradise Health Club with Shimmy Dugan and Princess Grace — a black man of the gay persuasion which don't mean he ain't tough as a marine drill instructor when it comes to making you do the deep knee bends and duck waddles — when Mr. P. Pig met his maker.

Nobody knows his name. He's on a trial membership and renews weekly under the name P. Pig. All I know is he seems to take exercise very seriously and smiles a lot. For a man with an olive complexion, he had very blue eyes. But the man who smiles all the time ain't smiling now. He's lying on the floor like a beached baby whale — dead.

Why is his coroner file closed? Why have the cops suddenly shifted gears? Somebody with clout wants Mr. Porky's identity kept quiet. But how far are they willing to go to stop my snooping? Chip's old pal, the big boss Vito Vellitri, finally puts it to me point blank: "This is a family. You understand that there is law and then there's justice … ." Yeah. And I got thirty pieces of silver and what I saw in a Pig's eye that won't let me stop until I dig up the truth …

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

The Lincoln Deception by David O. Stewart

A Fraser and Cook Mystery

Publisher: Kensington

Price: $2.99 (as of 07/28/2016 at 5:00 PM ET).

  

In March 1900, as former Congressman John Bingham of Ohio lies dying, he begins to tell a strange tale to his physician, Dr. Jamie Fraser. Bingham famously prosecuted eight members of John Wilkes Booth's plot to kill Lincoln. But during the 1865 trial, conspirator Mary Surratt divulged a secret so explosive it could shatter the republic.

Though Bingham takes the secret to his grave, Fraser cannot let go of the mystery. Bored with small-town medical practice, he begins to investigate, securing an unlikely ally in Speed Cook, a black, college-educated professional ballplayer and would-be newspaper publisher. Cook is fascinated by Fraser's inquiry and, like Fraser, thinks the accepted version of Lincoln's assassination rings false. Was Booth truly the mastermind or were other, more powerful forces pulling the strings?

From Maryland to New York City, from Indiana to Washington, Fraser and Cook track down key figures and witnesses — including Mary Surratt's neurotic daughter Anna, Booth's nephew, actor Creston Clarke, and Clarke's attractive business manager, Mrs. Eliza Scott. Piece by piece the truth emerges — separating fact from rumor, innocent from guilty, and revealing a story of greed, ambition, courage, and tragedy.

Mundy's Landing — a small town where bygone bloodshed has become big business …

Hair neatly braided, hands serenely clasped, eyes closed, the young woman appeared to be sound asleep. But the peaceful tableau was a madman's handiwork. Beneath the covers, her white nightgown was spattered with blood. At daybreak, a horrified family would discover her corpse tucked into their guest room. The cunning killer would strike again … and again … before vanishing into the mists of time.

A century ago, the Sleeping Beauty Murders terrified picturesque Mundy's Landing. The victims, like the killer, were never identified. Now, on the hundredth anniversary, the Historical Society's annual "Mundypalooza" offers a hefty reward for solving the notorious case.

Annabelle Bingham, living in one of the three Murder Houses, can't escape the feeling that her family is being watched — and not just by news crews and amateur sleuths. She's right. Having unearthed the startling truth behind the horrific crimes, a copycat killer is about to reenact them — beneath the mansard roof of Annabelle's dream home …

Publisher: Montlake Romance

  

Hidden Falls is exactly as Samantha Parker left it — small, insular, and prone to gossip. Eighteen years have passed since she witnessed her brother's murder, but she's still the talk of the town. Until a handsome child psychologist with haunting memories of his own arrives.

Dr. Ethan McClane isn't exactly a newcomer. If it weren't for his latest case, he'd never set foot back in Hidden Falls. Thankfully, no one seems to recognize him as the troubled teen from years past. Not even Sam, the delightfully sharp and sexy high school chemistry teacher he can't stop thinking about.

When Sam and Ethan work together to help one of her students, sparks ignite. But Sam's hazy memories of a long-ago night concern Ethan, and unlocking the repressed images reveals a dark connection between them. As the horrors of the past finally come to light, their relationship isn't the only thing in danger. A killer will strike again to keep an ugly secret hidden. This time no one will be safe.

As Kate, the FBI and the NTSB race to find answers, the shadow figures behind the operation launch their most devastating plan yet, and time ticks down on one of the greatest tragedies the world has ever known.
