Touching Broken Bones

Andrew Davie

Sinopse

McGill and Gropper are back for another adventure! McGill never leaves the diner, drinks coffee, and eats pancakes/bacon, while Gropper is in charge of the heavy lifting. Both men wouldn’t have it any other way.
 
As they’ve gotten older, times have changed. While Gropper has led a transient life, moving from place to place to protect the people he cares about, he’s longing to settle down. Meanwhile, McGill must handle the interest of a young South Carolina Law Enforcement Division officer, Lorraine Littlefeather, who would rather see him behind bars.
 
After a big case comes their way, they need to investigate the mysterious deaths of medical workers. And Gropper’s friend Connie, and her daughter Liz, might be next on the list.

Wilmer M. Ely

Late entry in the Boy Chums series set in WWI-era Florida focuses on four working-class adventurers:  young adults Charley & Walter, manservant Chris, and man of the world, Captain Westfield.

Storm's Fury

Mary Stone, Amy Wilson

Some storms destroy. Others clear a path. 
Military veteran Amelia Storm returns to her hometown of Chicago when her beloved police officer brother is killed in the line of duty. Now she is a special agent with the FBI. No longer a scared girl, she vows to avenge her brother and do what she can to end the city’s deep wells of corruption. 
A television documentary puts a spotlight on a four-year-old kidnapping. Amelia and her colleagues in the Organized Crime Division know there’s more to the girl’s case than meets the eye. 
The twelve-year-old wasn’t just abducted. She was targeted by a human trafficking ring. 
As Amelia falls deeper down the rabbit hole of Chicago’s criminal hierarchy in search of the girl, she finds herself uncomfortably close to the people she left behind so long ago. This time, though, she won’t run. Now, she is the storm that will unearth the city’s long buried secrets. Or die trying. After all, she has nothing to lose. 
From the wickedly dark minds of Mary Stone and Amy Wilson comes Storm’s Fury, book one of the Amelia Storm Series, where you’ll be reminded that Mother Earth is wild, but humans are the most dangerous creatures.

A Life for a Life - A Mystery Novel

Lynda McDaniel

“Five Stars! The tale immediately drew me in, into the town, into the intriguing mystery, and into the people. A real treat to read." ~Deb, Amazon Hall of Fame Top 100 Reviewer
Laurel Falls, N.C., 1985: I was done with being a crime reporter in Washington, D.C., tired of all the violence. So I packed up and moved to the small town of Laurel Falls, N.C. It looked like heaven to me—ancient mountains brimming with tall trees and songbirds, peace and quiet. Until I found the body.
The sheriff took the easy path, calling it a suicide. No way. I’d found that young woman, and I just knew she hadn’t taken her own life. I’d spent my whole career searching for the truth, and I wasn’t about to stop now. Trouble was, without my usual sources, how much of a murder investigation could I pull off?
But a special kid lived next door. Abit Bradshaw, a teenager struggling to find his rightful place in the world. Hey, I knew all about that. I’d never fitted in either, but eventually I’d found something I was good at. I figured he just needed a chance too.
And he got one when we teamed up to solve that crime. Along the way, we sure met some interesting characters—both bad and good. We had a plan, and we worked it hard to find that killer before we became the next victims.
Looking back, I should’ve known plans rarely pan out the way you think. ~Della Kincaid
If you love Jacqueline Winspear, Sue Grafton, and Cheryl Bradshaw (no relation to Abit Bradshaw that we know of), you're sure to enjoy the Appalachian Mountain Mysteries series.
Get it now—for the rich natural setting, colorful characters, and suspenseful investigations.
