  Predators Lurk Below The Waves 
  Private Investigator Miami Jones is back on the case in this new mystery from USA Today bestseller AJ Stewart. 
  Summer long weekends in Florida are about sun, sand, and surf. Miami Jones and his wife, agent Danielle Castle, are out enjoying the beach when they are swept up into a dramatic ocean rescue. 
  In the aftermath, a young girl is left all alone in the world. Miami knows that feeling, so he takes on the job of finding the child’s family. 
  A family that might be best left unfound. 
  In the hunt for the girl’s father, he must face the loss of his own parents and the cloud that casts over his life—and his marriage. 
  Miami dives into the world of professional surfing, where a veneer of chilled dudes and hot babes hides a dark underbelly of high-stakes competition and vulnerable young athletes looking for a shot at any cost. 
  It might be a world that welcomes a young girl with loving arms. Or Miami might direct her into the arms of a predator. 
  Full of Miami’s trademark insights into life, and the humor and heart Stewart is famous for, Making The Drop delivers the most personal case Miami Jones has ever taken on.

  They call him Keeper, but lately Jack Marconi has specialized in losing things. Just last year, he lost his wife in a mysterious traffic accident, and ever since, he's felt like he's losing his mind. As the warden of the maximum security Green Haven Prison, home to 2,500 of New York's most hardened criminals, Marconi can't afford to drop focus, even for an instant. But he's been slipping up on the job, and he's tormented by flashbacks to the Attica uprising. All of which makes him ripe for the role of patsy when a convicted cop killer named Eduardo Vasquez stages a daring breakout on his watch. 
   
   
   
  From the start, Marconi suspects an inside job. What he doesn't suspect is that he'll become the target of a frame-up. Soon drugs are planted in Marconi's office, embarrassing photos are circulated, and he finds himself facing trumped-up charges of obstruction of justice. With his supervisors clearly setting him up to take the fall, Marconi hatches a desperate scheme to clear his name. Kidnapping the escaped killer's girlfriend, he arms himself with a .45 and takes off in pursuit of Vasquez—and the truth. 
   
   
   
  Once sworn to uphold the law, Marconi will have to elude it if he wants to bring this conspiracy to light. Otherwise Keeper could lose everything: his job, his reputation—and even his life.

  Altar of Ashes, a debut novel by a respected author of non-fiction, opens with two hunters witnessing a horror in the backwoods of Indiana: the rite of sati, with the bride on the funeral pyre a 10-year-old girl. The book, which pokes a multicultural hornet’s nest, was launched at the 2023 Frankfurt Book Fair. The inciting incident draws the local prosecutor into a spectacular case revolving around religious toleration and cultural bigotry, which sweeps the town into a vortex of national publicity. His opponent in the courtroom an African-American giant of legal repute. The case is subsumed in the larger zeitgeist of American cultural confrontation, impelled toward its surprising resolution. It’s been described by critics such Lily Andrews of Reader Views as, “A thriller that will unsettle your expectations at every turn. Westrate has a deep understanding of oppressive cultural practices and deals with them excellently here. With immaculate prose and an almost undemanding commitment to unadorned lucidity, he manages to steal your breath and capture your heart. The book leaves you empowered and enlightened as it incessantly punctures a foreign custom that is illegal in the United States. Brilliant with detail and palpitating with suspense, Altar of Ashes delivers a knuckle-hard plotline with an unforgettable set of characters.” Diane Donovan, senior reviewer for Midwest Book Review, said “Bruce Westrate moves his story from a murder mystery to a legal encounter that embraces some of the undercurrents of adversity and prejudice in America today . . . he shatters emotions and preconceptions of what makes for good and bad legal precedents and how the past reaches out to influence present-day decisions. [Readers] will relish the questions and conundrums in Altar of Ashes, which ignites a sense of shame and revelation in the protagonist after the outcome is revealed.”
