Wolf Catcher

Anne Montgomery

Sinopse

The past and present collide when a tenacious reporter seeks information on an eleventh century magician...and uncovers more than she bargained for.
 
In 1939, archaeologists uncovered a 900-year-old tomb at the Northern Arizona site called Ridge Ruin. The man, bedecked in fine turquoise jewelry and intricate bead work, was surrounded by hundreds of extraordinary funerary objects, including wooden swords with handles carved into animal hooves and human hands. The Hopi workers stepped back from the grave, knowing what the Moochiwimi sticks meant. This man was a magician.
 
Sixty-five years later, investigative reporter Kate Butler discovers evidence that The Magician looked notably different from those who buried him. Her quest to discover The Magician’s origin carries her back to a time when the high desert world was shattered by the birth of a volcano and into the present-day dangers of archaeological looting where black market sales of antiquities can lead to murder.

The Lattice Protocol - In a...

Aaron Raiffie

In a perfectly synchronized world, true freedom lies in the agony of remembering. 
Desmond Everett is a ghost haunting the basement of his own creation. Decades ago, he designed The Lattice—a global neural network that regulates the emotions of eight billion human beings, eradicating extreme pain, rage, and despair. But when he discovers that the Lattice Corporation's ruthless CEO, Josephine Joy, is preparing to initiate The Protocol—a forced, universal software update that will permanently delete all traumatic human memories and strip humanity of its free will—Desmond knows he must act. 
To dismantle the system, he must leave his subterranean sanctuary and find Lyra Lighthaven, a "rogue subject" whose mind violently rejected the network's synchronization. Lyra is the only person on Earth capable of navigating the digital streams without being assimilated. Together with an underground investigative journalist and a dangerous freelance mercenary, they must navigate the labyrinthine shadows of a dystopian undercity. 
Hunted by elite corporate enforcers, Desmond and his fragile alliance have only hours to break into the most heavily fortified vault on the planet. The Lattice Protocol is a gripping, pulse-pounding cyberpunk thriller that questions the very nature of human identity, trauma, and the steep price of a manufactured utopia.

The Upstaged Coroner - A...

Paul Austin Ardoin

The local university’s Shakespeare troupe already had plenty of drama. Then their manager was murdered.
Fresh off her election win, Fenway Stevenson is ready to focus on her job as county coroner. But just hours after claiming victory, she's called to Nidever University, where the manager of a Shakespeare production has been found dead in a stairwell. The scene looks accidental—until Fenway spots signs of a struggle.
As the investigation unfolds, it's clear Jessica Marquez's death is no simple fall. Secrets swirl behind the curtain of the Merchant of Venice production, and Fenway begins to suspect the theater's drama didn't stop on stage.
Meanwhile, Fenway's father—still in jail following his shocking arrest for murder—casts a long shadow over her every move. Old wounds reopen, and a painful chapter from Fenway's past resurfaces in the form of a professor with dark secrets.
With her father behind bars, her relationship with the sheriff unraveling, and a murder investigation that's starting to smell like a political setup, Fenway must walk the razor-thin line between personal loyalty and professional duty. But in a town where alliances shift like sand and danger hides in plain sight, will Fenway's determination be enough to uncover the truth before someone else winds up dead?
Smart, suspenseful, and layered with emotional depth, The Upstaged Coroner is the fourth installment in the gripping Fenway Stevenson Mystery Series. Perfect for fans of Patricia Cornwell, J.D. Robb, and Louise Penny, this page-turner weaves forensic science, complex characters, and shocking twists into an unforgettable story.
The stage is set. The players are in motion. And Fenway is running out of time.

Sexy Life Hello - A Novella

Michelle Kicherer

After getting fired from her job as a fourth grade teacher, Jane takes on two jobs at once: as a nanny for twin babies and as a sexter for a famous porn star. Soon, Jane is feeding Franny and Zooey with one hand and shooting off ridiculous sexts with the other. At first, she feels it’s like a joke: a lot of her clientele are into scat play or “mystical bestiality.” By the end of her first month on the sexting-nanny jobs, Jane is making significantly more money than she could have ever made as a teacher. She sees a way to move out of her rundown childhood home on the California Central Coast; a way to finally have a nice place of her own. And it feels great—until Jane realizes she isn’t as anonymous as she thought.  
SEXY LIFE, HELLO teeters between satire and literary thriller. Infused with creepy-gross moments reminiscent of Ottessa Moshfegh and Miranda July, a dark, twisting storyline in the tradition of Patricia Highsmith, and a dry wit uniquely Kicherer, this fascinating debut novella introduces a bold and exciting new voice in contemporary literature.
