The River Is Dark by Joe Hart
A Liam Dempsey Thriller (1st in series)
Publisher: Thomas & Mercer
Kindle Daily Deal Price: 99¢
In a small town along the Mississippi River, separate but nearly identical attacks have left two married couples brutally murdered in their homes. A young boy — the lone survivor of the killings — now lies comatose in the hospital. And the police's only lead is the boy's terrified description of the assailant: a "monster."
Enter former homicide detective Liam Dempsey, whose estranged brother fell victim to the killer. Dragged into the investigation as a suspect, Dempsey vows to solve the case and clear his name. But two things stand between him and the truth: a web of local politics, and the grim secrets the victims held close. All the while, a murderer with boundless hatred continues to raise the body count.
As the troubled ex-cop tries to pull justice from the town's emotional wreckage, he realizes that his could be the next life lost to the killer's ruthless, twisted plan for revenge.

But not even that can stop the killer from striking again.
As the death toll rises, the mood darkens, and Sara and Kristian race to find the killer before another tourist falls prey. But who is the culprit — an island local with a grudge against the tourists, a visitor on the run from trouble in her home country, the womanizing local yoga instructor, or the person they least suspect?

McFall by Scott Nicholson
A Novel of Suspense
Publisher: 47North
Kindle Daily Deal Price: 99¢
When wealthy developer Larkin McFall moves to the small Appalachian Mountain community of Barkersville, generations-old tales of supernatural phenomena, sudden deaths, and odd disappearances resurface. Larkin laughs off the stories as superstition, while promising to bring a bright new future to the dying town.
Sheriff Frank Littlefield senses a diabolical motive in McFall's good intentions. High school friends Bobby Eldreth and Ronnie Day also suspect that an evil menace has invaded Barkersville, but both soon fall under McFall's spell. Has the sinister presence that once infiltrated the abandoned — perhaps haunted — red church spread to the community as McFall turns the family property into a luxurious subdivision?
When those who oppose Larkin McFall's ambitions begin to die horrifically — or even worse, become the man's biggest supporters — Sheriff Littlefield's investigation uncovers a man with no past and no fingerprints.
A man who destroys people by giving them exactly what they want.
— McFall by Scott Nicholson

A Suspense Thriller
Publisher: The Overlook Press
Nook Daily Find Price: $2.99
Twenty years after the unsolved case of Stacey Walker's disappearance went cold, a Silicone Valley executive hires the retired Menlo Park Police Detective Hank Madden to find her body and track down her missing husband, the prime suspect in her unsolved murder. Four months later, author Candace Epstein is pushed in front of a car near Central Park. Her editor Max Fremmer becomes entangled into the investigation of her attempted murder, though he is adamant that he is uninvolved. As he digs into Candace's background to clear his own name, Fremmer grows suspicious of his client's connection to a nefarious institute for lucid dreaming on the Upper East Side and its staff whose stories never seem to add up — all while an unexpected link emerges to Detective Madden's investigation in California.
As similarities arise between the cases on each coast, Detective Madden and Fremmer forge an unlikely partnership to expose what misconduct lurks beneath the façade of the Lucidity Center — but can they unravel the secret that links their investigations together in time, or are they only dreaming?
