THE LAST FEW MILES OF ROAD

$16.95Add to cart

When Carter McCoy learns he hasn’t got long to live, it’s time to take care of something he has wanted to do for years–kill the man responsible for his daughter’s death. But Carter has no experience killing and isn’t even sure he can do it.

Breanna needs to escape her toxic home life or end up living a life of regret. When she happens upon the old man with a rifle, she sees a light at the end of her dark tunnel. Carter may be the answer to her problems, if he lives long enough to help her.

Jon Lindstrom
HOLLYWOOD HUSTLE

$29.99Add to cart

Winston Greene, a has-been film star, wakes one morning to find his six-year-old granddaughter at his bedside—traumatized, unattended, and gripping onto a thumb drive. She comes bearing video proof that her mother, Win’s troubled adult daughter, has been kidnapped by a murderous gang demanding all his “movie money” for her safe return.

Unable to go to the police for fear the kidnappers will make good on their promise to kill his daughter, Winston turns to two close friends—a legendary Hollywood stuntman and a disgraced former LAPD detective.

Iris Yamashita
VILLAGE IN THE DARK

$29.99Add to cart

On a frigid February day, Anchorage Detective Cara Kennedy stands by the graves of her husband and son, watching as their caskets are raised from the earth. It feels sacrilegious, but she has no choice. Aaron and Dylan disappeared on a hike a year ago, their bones eventually found and buried. But shocking clues have emerged that foul play was involved, potentially connecting them to a string of other deaths and disappearances.

MURDER IN THE MUSEO KIRCHERIANO

$18.95Add to cart

 

A MYSTERY YARN
While making the rounds to visit her fellow shopkeepers in Ominpodge Village Center, Pru Pendergast overhears an argument between her obnoxious landlord, Bart Cunard, and Sally Midge Cunard, Bart’s ex-wife, during which Sally Midge accuses Bart of being involved in shady real estate dealings with developer Larry Ludwick. Pru also hears jewelry shopkeeper Jake Yalley defend Sally Midge and threaten Bart.

When Pru visits Flo Florrest’s yarn shop, Bart comes in and gets into a shouting match with Flo. Pru next goes to Bea Potter’s bookstore and listens to Bea complain about Bart sexually harassing her. Then Pru has lunch with best friend Herb Hanover-of Herb’s Herbs-and he cries about Bart calling him hateful names while Herb is still sensitive over his partner’s death.

When Phalanx assassin squads overrun an Optimus server farm in California and attack an Optimus coder named Blair Campbell, who happens to be the president’s daughter, Sinclair must deploy a group of warriors to save Blair and protect the remainder of the Optimus team so they can finish their important work―a project that includes deciphering the mysterious Phalanx Code, suspected to be Phalanx’s kill list of Optimus employees.

MURDER IN THE MUSEO KIRCHERIANO
Under the backdrop of the Vatican and its many political factions, Kircher and his assistant Filippo work to find the murderer. With every intrigue uncovered the mystery grows as the body count piles up, but the duo will not be stopped. The drip, drip, drip of clues eventually leads to not only who did it, but why.
