A Stranger Here Below - A Gideon...

Charles Fergus

Set in 1835 in the Pennsylvania town of Adamant, Fergus’s first novel in a new mystery series introduces Sheriff Gideon Stoltz, who, as a young deputy, is thrust into his position by the death of the previous sheriff. Gideon faces his first real challenge as death rocks the small town again when the respected judge Hiram Biddle commits suicide. No one is more distraught than Gideon, whom the old judge had befriended as a mentor and hunting partner. Gideon is regarded with suspicion as an outsider: he’s new to town, and Pennsylvania Dutch in the back-country Scotch-Irish settlement. And he found the judge’s body.

Making things even tougher is the way the judge’s death stirs up vivid memories of Gideon’s mother’s murder, the trauma that drove him west from his home in the settled Dutch country of eastern Pennsylvania. He had also discovered her body.

At first Gideon simply wants to learn why Judge Biddle killed himself. But as he finds out more about the judge’s past, he realizes that his friend's suicide was spurred by much more than the man’s despair. Gideon’s quest soon becomes more complex as it takes him down a dangerous path into the past.

A Stranger Here Below is so atmospheric, so compelling and convincing, that readers will taste the grit of the dirt roads, cringe at the unsanitary conditions and medical superstitions that inflame a flu epidemic, and marvel at the immensely arduous task of carrying out an investigation using the primitive tools of the early 1800s. Fergus leaves us breathlessly waiting for the next Gideon Stoltz mystery.

Paging Doctor Death

Andrew Pennhaven

On the night shift, death is scheduled. 
When a "natural" passing on Ward C sets off a prickle of doubt, nurse Tessa Markov starts to see a chilling pattern: terminal patients are quietly reassigned to the same celebrated physician minutes before they flatline. Charts vanish. Codes arrive a little too late. Families are persuaded to sign what they don't fully understand. And the only other witness—a soft-spoken night janitor—saw something he shouldn't have. 
As Tessa pulls at the threads, the hospital's routines turn into traps. Doors that should open don't. Alarms fail. Colleagues fall silent. Someone inside the system is practicing a perfect kind of murder—one that looks like mercy. And when a loved one lands in that doctor's care, Tessa's fight for the truth becomes a race against the clock. 
Paging Doctor Death is a taut, claustrophobic medical thriller about power without oversight and the price of speaking up. If you crave relentless tension, a fearless heroine, and twist-knife reveals set in the fluorescent hush of a midnight ward, this pulse-pounding novel will keep you turning pages long past visiting hours. Read it for the razor-sharp stakes, stay for the final diagnosis you won't see coming.
