A deadly secret can't stay buried forever …

Revenge. It's the only thing that will help Anya Best sleep at night. The serial killer who murdered her sister is on the loose, and Anya will stop at nothing to put him behind bars-even use herself as bait to lure him out of hiding. But she can't do this alone.

Private investigator Heath Jones's job is to bring bastards to justice. This time it's personal. He knew the Copper Killer's latest victim so when her sister asks for his help, he's all in. But when Anya uses the media to taunt the killer, she exposes Heath's identity, putting them both in jeopardy. Now, secrets buried long ago are coming to light and the forces determined to destroy him are watching Heath's every move, waiting to exact their own revenge. And they'll use anything and anyone to get to Heath.

A Reference to Murder by Kym Roberts, New on the Mystery Bookshelf during May 2017

New on the Mystery Bookshelf during May 2017 …

A Reference to Murder by Kym Roberts, A Book Barn Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Lyrical Underground

  

Charli Rae Warren is back home in Hazel Rock, Texas, spending her time reading, collecting, and selling books — at least, the ones that don't get eaten first by her father's pet armadillo. Running the family bookstore is a demanding job, but solving murders on the side can be flat out dangerous …

The Book Barn is more than just a shop, it's a part of the community — and Charli is keeping busy with a fundraising auction and the big rodeo event that's come to town. That includes dealing with the Texas-sized egos of some celebrity cowboys, including Dalton Hibbs, a blond, blue-eyed bull rider who gets overly rowdy one night with the local hairdresser … and soon afterward, disappears into thin air.

Dalton's brother also vanished seven years ago — and Charli is thrown about whether Dalton is a villain or a victim. After a close call with an assailant wielding a branding iron (that plays havoc with her hair), and some strange vandalism on her property, she's going to have to team up with the sheriff to untangle this mystery, before she gets gored …

Testimony by Scott Turow, New in Bookstores during May 2017

Today's featured new hardcover mystery, suspense, or thriller title scheduled to be published during May 2017 is …

Testimony by Scott Turow, A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: Grand Central

 

At the age of fifty, former prosecutor Bill ten Boom has walked out on everything he thought was important to him: his law career, his wife, Kindle County, even his country. Still, when he is tapped by the International Criminal Court — an organization charged with prosecuting crimes against humanity — he feels drawn to what will become the most elusive case of his career. Over ten years ago, in the apocalyptic chaos following the Bosnian war, an entire Roma refugee camp vanished. Now for the first time, a witness has stepped forward: Ferko Rincic claims that armed men marched the camp's Gypsy residents to a cave in the middle of the night — and then with a hand grenade set off an avalanche, burying 400 people alive. Only Ferko survived.

Boom's task is to examine Ferko's claims and determinine who might have massacred the Roma. His investigation takes him from the International Criminal Court's base in Holland to the cities and villages of Bosnia and secret meetings in Washington, DC, as Boom sorts through a host of suspects, ranging from Serb paramilitaries, to organized crime gangs, to the US government itself, while also maneuvering among the alliances and treacheries of those connected to the case: Layton Merriwell, a disgraced US major general desperate to salvage his reputation; Sergeant Major Atilla Doby,a vital cog in American military operations near the camp at the time of the Roma's disappearance; Laza Kajevic, the brutal former leader of the Bosnian Serbs; Esma Czarni, Ferko's alluring barrister; and of course, Ferko himself, on whose testimony the entire case rests-and who may know more than he's telling.

The Woodpecker Always Pecks Twice by J. R. Ripley, New on the Mystery Bookshelf during May 2017

New on the Mystery Bookshelf during May 2017 …

The Woodpecker Always Pecks Twice by J. R. Ripley, A Bird Lover's Mystery (3rd in series)

Publisher: Lyrical Underground

  

A red-bellied woodpecker may lead to a yellow-bellied killer …

One morning when unwilling early bird Amy Simms grabs her binoculars for a closer look at the woodpecker who's been waking her up, she can't believe her eyes. Across Ruby Lake, through a curtain of rain, she sees a body being tossed out of an upstairs window at the old McKutcheon place.

Or at least she thinks she does. The police chief finds no body — only a discarded dressmaker's dummy — and complains that Amy sent him on a wild-goose chase. She should probably focus on minding her store, Birds & Bees, but Amy can't help snooping. And when she turns up another body — a murdered member of her birdwatching group — Amy once again needs to wing it as a sleuth to zoom in on a killer …
