Presumption of Guilt by Archer Mayor, a Joe Gunther Mystery (27th in series)

Publisher: Minotaur Books

 

A forty-year-old skeleton is found encased in a concrete slab at a recently decommissioned nuclear energy site. It becomes a case for the Vermont Bureau of Investigation (VBI) and its leader, Joe Gunther, since they have the resources and the ability to investigate an old, very cold, missing persons case that has now been reclassified as murder. The victim was Hank Mitchell, and Gunther must chase down old rumors and speculations — who benefited from his death and the disappearance of his body? And was his death somehow tied to New York City mafia money being laundered through the construction project?

But what seems the coldest of cold cases roars back to life when one of the central figures in this mystery is shot to death, right after speaking with Gunther. And when a young police officer — the son of VBI investigator Lester Spinney — is kidnapped, is that meant to be a warning to the VBI team to drop the case?

After all these many years, the truth behind the murder still has to the power to kill, and it's up to Gunther and his team to capture the living and finally put the dead to rest.

The Long and Faraway Gone by Lou Berney

A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: William Morrow

Price: $1.99 (as of 09/28/2016 at 1:00 PM ET).

  

Winner of the 2016 Anthony Award for Best Paperback Original Novel.

In the summer of 1986, two tragedies rocked Oklahoma City. Six movie-theater employees were brutally killed in an armed robbery. Then a teenage girl vanished from the annual state fair. Neither crime was ever solved.

Twenty-five years later, the reverberations of those unsolved cases continue to echo through the lives of those devastated by the crimes. Wyatt, the one teenage employee who inexplicably survived the movie-theater massacre, is now a private investigator in Las Vegas. A case unexpectedly brings him back to a hometown and a past he's tried to escape — and drags him deeper into the harrowing mystery of the movie-house robbery that left six of his friends dead.

Like Wyatt, Julianna struggles with the past — specifically the day her beautiful older sister, Genevieve, disappeared at the fair. When Julianna discovers that one of the original suspects has resurfaced, she'll stop at nothing to find answers.

As Wyatt's case becomes more complicated and dangerous, and Julianna seeks answers from a ghost, their obsessive quests not only stir memories of youth and first love, but also begin to illuminate dark secrets of the past. Even if they find the truth, will it help them understand what happened and why they were left behind that long and faraway gone summer? Will it set them free — or ultimately destroy them?

Melody has to go undercover and pretend she's a new recruit for the Pumpkin Bandits. That means she has to spend the night with the other recruits in an abandoned house that automatically locks. And she's pretty sure she's being watched by the bandits — from inside the house. She's trapped inside with people who could be killers.

With the help of her cat and her friends, Gabrielle and Corey, Melody will solve the murder. That is, if she can last one night in a spooky, run-down house as far from town as you can get.

Fortunately, the house isn't haunted. Yet.

Hawker chases the dragon …

London 1940. When a famous jazz singer is discovered dead in her suite at the Savoy Hotel it is quickly established that a heroin overdose was the cause of her death. Inspector Hawker's pursuit of the drug's suppliers proves to be a long and winding trail that ranges from the opulence of the West End, where cocaine is sniffed from silver trays, to London's Chinatown, Limehouse, where the legendary giant rat of Sumatra lurks in the yellow fog that creeps up the river and envelopes the East End in its shroud.

Unfazed by fog, unconcerned about giant rats and unafraid of ruffling a few upper class feathers, Hawker plods doggedly on with an investigation that begins with a packet of condoms and ends in a pipeful of tobacco.

In 1881 Chicago, the idea of a female detective is virtually unheard of. But when famed crime buster Allan Pinkerton opens his agency's doors to a handful of women, one intrepid actress with her own troubled past is driven to defy convention and take on a new and dangerous role …

Since the age of eleven, when her mother was murdered, the life of the theater is all Lilly Long has known. Now twenty-two, she has blossomed into an accomplished Shakespearean actress. But after her innocence — and her savings — are taken from her by a seductive scoundrel, Lilly vows to leave the stage, enter the real world, and save others from a similar fate. Following in the footsteps of the country's first female detective, Lilly persuades Allan Pinkerton to take her on.

Lilly's acting skills are a perfect fit for her real-life role as a Pinkerton operative. But her first case is a baptism by fire as she is sent to the small town of Vandalia to solve the mystery of a pastor who disappeared with his family — and the church's funds. When Lilly arrives, she finds the mere mention of the reverend's name provokes enmity or suspicious silence. Shadowed by a second Pinkerton agent with an agenda of his own, Lilly begins to uncover Vandalia's sordid secrets. But she'll have to deliver the performance of a lifetime to survive the final act of this drama.
