Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter

A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: William Morrow

Kindle Daily Deal Price: $4.99

Sisters. Strangers. Survivors.

More than twenty years ago, Claire and Lydia's teenaged sister Julia vanished without a trace. The two women have not spoken since, and now their lives could not be more different. Claire is the glamorous trophy wife of an Atlanta millionaire. Lydia, a single mother, dates an ex-con and struggles to make ends meet. But neither has recovered from the horror and heartbreak of their shared loss — a devastating wound that's cruelly ripped open when Claire's husband is killed.

The disappearance of a teenage girl and the murder of a middle-aged man, almost a quarter-century apart: what could connect them? Forming a wary truce, the surviving sisters look to the past to find the truth, unearthing the secrets that destroyed their family all those years ago … and uncovering the possibility of redemption, and revenge, where they least expect it.

— Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter

Smoke by Catherine McKenzie

A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: Lake Union Publishing

Kindle Daily Deal Price: $1.99

After a decadelong career combating wildfires, Elizabeth has traded in her former life for a quieter one with her husband. Now she works as the local arson investigator in a beautiful, quaint town in the Rockies. But that tranquil life vanishes when she and her husband agree to divorce and a fire in nearby Cooper Basin begins to spread rapidly. For Elizabeth, containing a raging wildfire is easier than accepting that her marriage has failed.

For Elizabeth's ex-friend Mindy, who feels disconnected from her husband and teenage children, the fire represents a chance to find a new purpose: helping a man who has lost his home to the blaze. But her faith is shattered by a shocking accusation.

As the encroaching inferno threatens the town's residents, Elizabeth and Mindy must discover what will be lost in the fire, and what will be saved.

Gabriella Santiago used to be a typical teenager who enjoyed the usual teenage things. That is until a single day ended who she was and within hours she ran from home, never to look back.

Only when Gabby is cold, hungry and at her lowest, does she find Angela's Diner. Gabby embraces her new life and the family she has found in the midst of strangers and obscurity.

Acceptance is what she craves, but before long, Gabby realizes she's not the only one in the diner with something to hide. Her new family has a secret too, and some secrets refuse to stay buried.

Good pretty much cements her hatred of mornings. In fact, having no memory of any of these events almost seems like a blessing.

While waiting to be cleared for possible involvement in the destruction of the hotel she'd been pulled from, Kat agrees to try to use her newly discovered psychic ability to help hunky detective Damian Johnson look into the mysterious events surrounding his comatose ex-partner.

With lycan youths turning up dead, terrifying visions from Damian's coma-stricken partner, horrific creatures attempting to grab her in the night, and dealing with Jonny's bizarre obsession with the Food Network, Kat just hopes she survives long enough to say goodbye to Las Vegas.

Price: 99¢ (as of 12/28/2015 at 6:00 PM ET).

  

Capital City is teeming with death. Under the neon glow downtown, a body turns up every single night …

On the second anniversary of his wife's unsolved murder, Detective Jack Rose is once again cast into the deep end of a grisly homicide investigation. But this isn't a shooting or poisoning or any of the other preferred ways to kill someone from a distance. This is a hard crime, the up-close kind, the kind that rarely shows its ugly face — even on an island busting at the seams with 3 million people.

The victim was a resident of Capital Heights, a building with a reputation among parolees as a cheap place to live. They say you can even stay for free, if you're willing to do a few favors …

In a city monitored by countless surveillance cameras and remote-operated patrol cars, Jack thinks a cop should be able to catch a break. He's wrong. With no clues, no witnesses, and a growing list of suspects, he must rely on instinct to catch a killer before another victim is found on the rain-washed streets of Capital City.

Young tracker Mackenzie Crow, working at his uncle's bounty hunting business, is ambivalent when an old flame pleads for help. His intuition tells him to scram and not look back, but Mac's conscience won't allow him to say 'no' to finding a lost child in the woods. Not sure where he stands with Kailee, Mac soon finds out: she is married to his old rival and she has kept this from him in order to solicit his expertise.

Once in the woods with the Search and Rescue team, Mac comes into his element and within a short time has found the child's trail. He also finds something completely unexpected: a strange set of tracks following the girl. It's clearly the day for unwanted surprises.

Deep in the woods, desperately following the trail, Mac comes upon an SAR volunteer face down in the forest with an arrow in his back. Little does Mac know, this is just the beginning of his problems.

Before this is through, he will be hunted by a psychopath and cadre of foreign mercenaries, all wanting to remove him from the land of the living.

Letting her curious nature guide her, she immediately begins asking questions. When she finds that Room 913 has been closed off; locked and sealed for 40 years, her curiosity turns to concern. Though rumors abound, no one seems inclined to talk about it.

Not giving up so easily, Cynthia persists in her pursuit of solving the mystery, investigating the rumors until she learns the truth of what is inside the forbidden room — or does she?

The Bone Labyrinth by James Rollins, a SIGMA Force Mystery (12th in series)

Publisher: William Morrow

 

In the remote mountains of Croatia, an archaeologist makes a strange discovery: a subterranean Catholic chapel, hidden for centuries, holds the bones of a Neanderthal woman. In the same cavern system, elaborate primitive paintings tell the story of an immense battle between tribes of Neanderthals and monstrous shadowy figures. Who is this mysterious enemy depicted in these ancient drawings and what do the paintings mean?

Before any answers could be made, the investigative team is attacked, while at the same time, a bloody assault is made upon a primate research center outside of Atlanta. How are these events connected? Who is behind these attacks? The search for the truth will take Commander Gray Pierce of Sigma Force 50,000 years into the past. As he and Sigma trace the evolution of human intelligence to its true source, they will be plunged into a cataclysmic battle for the future of humanity that stretches across the globe … and beyond.

With the fate of our future at stake, Sigma embarks on its most harrowing odyssey ever — a breathtaking quest that will take them from ancient tunnels in Ecuador that span the breadth of South America to a millennia-old necropolis holding the bones of our ancestors. Along the way, revelations involving the lost continent of Atlantis will reveal true mysteries tied to mankind's first steps on the moon. In the end, Gray Pierce and his team will face to their greatest threat: an ancient evil, resurrected by modern genetic science, strong enough to bring about the end of man's dominance on this planet.

Only this time, Sigma will falter — and the world we know will change forever.

The truth could cost her everything …

Her whole life, Ava Carson has been sure of one thing: she doesn't measure up to her mother's expectations. So when Mitchell Carson sweeps into her life with his adorable son, the ready-made family seems like a dream come true. In the blink of an eye, she's married, has a new baby, and life is wonderful.

Or is it?

When her picture-perfect marriage begins unraveling at the seams, Ava convinces herself she can fix it. It's temporary. It's the stress. It's Mitchell's tragic history of loss.

If only Ava could believe her own excuses.

Mitchell is no longer the charming, thoughtful man she married. He grows more controlling by the day, revealing a violent jealous streak. His behavior is recklessly erratic, and the unanswered questions about his past now hint at something far more sinister than Ava can stomach. Before she can fit the pieces together, Mitchell files for divorce and demands full custody of their boys.

Fueled by fierce love for her children and aided by Graham Thomas, a new attorney in town, Ava takes matters into her own hands, digging deep into the past. But will finding the truth be enough to beat Mitchell at his own game?
