Quarry's Climax by Max Allan Collins, A Quarry Mystery (14th in series)

Publisher: Hard Case Criime

  

Memphis, 1975. "Raunchy" doesn't begin to describe Max Climer's magazine, Climax, or his all-hours strip club, or his planned video empire. And evangelists, feminists, and local watchdog groups all want him out of business.

But someone wants more than that, and has hired a killer to end Max's career permanently. Only another hit man — the ruthless professional known as Quarry, star of the acclaimed series on Cinemax — can keep Climer from becoming a casualty in the Sexual Revolution.

— Quarry's Climax by Max Allan Collins

Caught in a wicked game of cat and mouse, Helen Grace finds herself trapped among the hunted … and framed for a murder she didn't commit …

As one of HM Prison Holloway's most high-profile new inmates, Helen Grace has a target on her back and nowhere to hide. She has made a long list of enemies over the course of her career — some are incarcerated within these very walls. When one of Helen's fellow prisoners is found mutilated and murdered in her own locked cell, it's clear that the killer is someone on the inside.

But time is running out for Helen as she races to expose the person who framed her, and the body count in the prison starts to climb. Helen will need to draw on all her investigative skills and instincts to catch the serial killer behind these murders and discover the truth — unless the killer finds her first.

Hunting the Five Point Killer by C. M. Wendelboe, A Bitter Wind Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Midnight Ink

  

On the tenth anniversary of a series of unsolved murders, the Five Point Killer is back for blood — and retired cop Arn Anderson could be the next investigator who gets too close to the truth …

Retired detective Arn Anderson never thought he'd be broke enough to take on a cold murder case. Or desperate enough to team up with a TV reporter. Or pathetic enough to go back to his rundown childhood home after he swore he'd left Cheyenne for good.

But here he is, hunting a serial killer who also appears to have come out of retirement. On the anniversary of the Five Point Killer's crimes, Arn's only option is to survive the carnage of a murderer who may be too twisted — and too brilliant — to catch.

As old enemies and once-trusted allies resurface, the architects of a murderous conspiracy will beat a sinister path to Gibson's doorstep. In discovering the shocking truth about those he thought he knew best, only one thing is certain: those responsible must be made to answer … and pay.
