Darcy Harbinger sees dead people … before they actually die. Art school grad student Darcy has premonitions of other people's deaths, but when she tries to warn these walking doomed — or goners, as she calls them — the news doesn't go over too well. She's getting a reputation on campus as a witch, a psychic, and a freak. Are Darcy's powers of paranormal prediction a gift … or a curse?

Dead girl walking. A mirror phobia. A murder suspect. In DARK PERCEPTION, when Darcy's intuition interferes with her painting, she winds up with a gory portrait of a doomed classmate. The girl is livid about her bloody portrayal on canvas — and she's freaked out by Darcy's creepy warnings. Despite Darcy's intention to save the goner girl before it's too late, she suddenly becomes the number-one suspect in a murder case.

As the evidence against her piles up, so do the corpses. Just one step ahead of the cops, Darcy must investigate and clear her name before she lands behind bars. Meanwhile, a diabolical and clever serial killer gets closer and closer …

Will Darcy find the real killer before she becomes the next victim?

Terminal by Mike Powelz, Amazon Kindle format

After the doctors tell her that she's losing her battle with cancer, Minnie reluctantly takes the last bed at Holl House, a hospice in Hamburg, Germany, to confront life's most unanswerable questions. To her surprise, her new — and last — home could almost pass for a hotel (no white coats and plenty of champagne), if it weren't for the full-time staff, the hard drugs, and the hearse parked outside.

Before long, Minnie realizes that death isn't the only mystery to be explored at Holl House: each of her terminally ill roommates hides a secret, and as her own departure nears, she begins to suspect that three recent passings are not quite as natural as they appear. But in a place where dying is a foregone conclusion, why would anyone bother to commit murder? With a killer on her heels and time running out, Minnie vows to solve the crime before she, too, says her last goodbye.

Publisher: ECW Press

One or the Other by John McFetridge, Amazon Kindle format

In the weeks before hosting the 1976 Summer Olympics, the Montreal police are tightening security to prevent another catastrophe like the '72 games in Munich. But it isn't tight enough to stop nearly three million dollars being stolen in a bold daytime Brink's truck robbery. As the high-profile heist continues to baffle the police, Constable Eddie Dougherty gets a chance to prove his worth as a detective when he's assigned to assist the suburban Longueuil force in investigating the deaths of two teenagers returning from a rock concert across the Jacques Cartier Bridge. Were they mugged and thrown from the bridge? Or was it a murder-suicide?

With tensions running high in the city and his future career at stake, Dougherty faces the limits of the force and of his own policing, and has to decide when to settle and when justice is the only thing that should be obeyed.

Nothing Short of Dying by Erik Storey, Amazon Kindle format

Sixteen years. That's how long Clyde Barr has been away from Colorado's thick forests, alpine deserts, and craggy peaks, running from a past filled with haunting memories. But now he's back, having roamed across three continents as a hunter, adventurer, soldier of fortune, and most recently, unjustly imprisoned convict. And once again, his past is reaching out to claim him.

By the light of a flickering campfire, Clyde receives a frantic phone call from his sister Jen. No sooner has she pleaded with him to come rescue her than the line goes dead. Clyde doesn't know how much time he has, or where Jen is located, or even who has her. All he knows is that nothing short of dying will stop him from saving her.

Joining Clyde in his against-all-odds quest is a young woman named Allie whose motivations for running this gauntlet are fascinatingly complex. As the duo races against the clock, it is Allie who gets Clyde to see what he has become and what he can still be.

Little Murders by Agatha Christie: Set One on DVD

Agatha Christie's world-famous mysteries are delightfully adapted in a new series of French TV movies — sexy, witty and definitely addictive! Set in the 1930s, these iconic stories introduce two new investigators in classic Christie style: Superintendent Larosière, whose passion for beautiful women is matched only by his love of solving puzzling crimes, and his young colleague Inspector Lampion, whose modern sensibilities sometimes clash with those of a less-enlightened age.

The fun comes from their combustive dynamic — the bombastic Larosière thinking he knows it all, until Lampion sets him straight. Beneath the barbs, however, lies a foundation of respect and affection. Enjoy Agatha Christie mysteries as youve never seen them before with a decidedly French twist.

This set includes:

• The Moving Finger based on the Miss Marple novel of the same name;
• Five Little Pigs based on the Hercule Poroit novel of the same name;
• The Ebb and the Flow based on the Hercule Poirot novel Taken at the Flood;
• The Knife on the Neck based on the Hercule Poirot novel Lord Edgeware Dies; and
• Sleeping Murder based on the Miss Marple novel of the same name.
