The Dark Horse

Editorial: BookRix

Sinopsis

Vincenzo Mazzanti had seized an opportunity early in his life; which in time had taken him and his family out of the doldrums of post-war Italy by spearheading a highly successful, but illicit Mafia business. Now advancing years and with thought of retirement, his decided chosen successor was to be an underdog; his eagerness to please and desperate to prove of grand-daughter, Noemi. With Mazzanti's request, this unwittingly heralded the start of fierce rivalry and a growing and resentful division within the family, but also an increasingly bloody internecine with another powerful entity, and with it an unpredictable rogue and psychotic element, desperate to take over their territory and avenge past wrongs. Does this inexperienced dark horse have what it takes to confront their newly founded destiny, or will this passed-on legacy be a dangerous, forlorn, and destructive experience for all? Author of ‘The Underworld’, Anthony A Newman is back with a new gripping complex novel focusing on two warring Mafia entities with their increasing struggle for power and territory, as well as the corruption and trust that leads from it, but also, the loyalty and families from within them.

The Shape Shifter

Tony Hillerman

Lt. Joe Leaphorn, who can't seem to stay retired, investigates a case that takes him back to his earliest days with the Navajo Tribal Police. When Erwin Totter's trading post burned to the ground back in 1965, the news that Ray Shewnack, a fugitive on the FBI's Most Wanted List, had perished in the blaze drew all available officers to the scene. Joe Leaphorn (Skeleton Man, 2004, etc.) was pulled away from Grandma Peshlakai's, where he'd gone in hopes of recovering the ten gallons of pinyon sap stolen from her. It was a waste of time, Grandma Peshlakai insisted, since the man was certainly dead. Now Leaphorn's old friend Mel Bork, a private eye in Flagstaff, has disappeared after sending Leaphorn a photograph of a tribal rug that's supposed to have been destroyed in the Totter fire. If the rug survived-and when Leaphorn treks out to Flagstaff to examine it as it hangs on the wall of big-game hunter Jason Delos's lodge-maybe Shewnack, a holdup artist who managed to kill two victims and finger his three accomplices to the police, isn't dead after all.

Truth Lies Beneath

Jack Stainton

In the chilling conclusion of the trilogy, Kat is left to pick up the pieces after Adam’s untimely death, but her own secrets threaten to unravel her. 
 
As Tom, her young son, starts acting strangely—seeing and hearing things that aren't supposed to be there—Kat’s sense of reality begins to warp. Luke, now free from Sandra, urges her to move on, but doubts linger, especially after their former boss’s house is mysteriously sold on the day of Adam’s funeral. And when a woman, eerily reminiscent of Imogen moves in, Kat is drawn to her—but something feels off. The more she learns, the more she suspects their meeting was more than coincidence. 
 
People connected to Adam’s dark past begin to meet grim fates, and Kat is left wondering how much of it is out of her control—or if she’s part of a bigger, more sinister plan. Is she being followed, or is her paranoia a sign that something far more menacing is at play?

Layer Cake Larceny The: A Cozy...

Hoang Nguyen

🍰 Quilt shop owner and fabric stack specialist Lily Layer is hosting a layer cake cutting party when the shop's most competitive customer—a notorious quilt show champion—is found dead in her store, crushed under a toppled tower of layer cake stacks. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Lily notices the fabric stacks have been deliberately unbalanced and the victim's quilt contest entries contain suspiciously similar patterns to other quilters' work. With her shop temporarily closed and the quilting community divided, Lily must peel back the layers of this fabric-filled mystery. Assisted by her cutting crew and the handsome textile analyst examining print patterns, Lily uncovers a scheme involving pattern plagiarism, stolen quilt designs, and a sophisticated operation copying award-winning quilts. From suspicious print rotations that reveal intentional mirroring to color placements that match other quilters' work too closely, every stacked layer tells a story. But when Lily discovers the victim was systematically entering copied quilts in competitions under different names, she realizes the killer is protecting creative integrity more valuable than any blue ribbon. With the national quilt competition approaching and the real copycat still stacking deception, Lily must sort through the evidence before her own reputation gets permanently layered under suspicion.
