Synopsis

Jake Reynolds is an art thief. A master artist who can create an exact replica of any famous canvas, in intricate detail. So precise and elegant is his work that even today, hanging on the walls of the most prestigious museums and art galleries around the world, are some of his brilliant recreations.
 
It's the early 20th century, and this brilliant criminal is destined to rub shoulders with the famous and infamous. From Churchill to Mengele, Wright brothers to Picasso. In one fashion or another, he would know them all.
 
But for a lucky and daring man, Jake is plagued with one unlucky, debilitating weakness. Every time he stumbles upon the corpse of a murder victim, a peculiar sense of outrage takes over him. Even though he's a criminal himself, something within him rebels at the thought of a murderer getting away after committing such a heinous crime.
 
Compelled by this, Jake is determined to find any killer that comes across his way, and bring them to justice. And when they do, Jake has no choice. The hunt is on. Whoever said Fate smiled upon the unlucky?
 
A compelling historical mystery, 'Death Of A Young Lieutenant' is the first book in B.R. Stateham's Jake Reynolds Mysteries series.

National Security

Matt Sloane

Vince Carver left the CIA with a dead friend and a close call. So much for so-called intelligence work. No longer knowing what he was fighting for, Carver switched to the private sector and swore he'd never go back. Armed with the elite skills of a special operator, he now leads a team of security specialists far from the battlefield. But everything changes when his convoy is ambushed on American soil. The three-letter agencies all want a piece of him, and the CIA is front and center. 
 
 
 
His client, a semiconductor billionaire, may be selling secrets to the Chinese. As his bodyguard, Carver is the asset best placed to uncover the plot, and he begrudgingly commutes to Taipei for one last mission. Soon he's embedded in a world of slick intrigue and fast lies. Carver is pitted against a resident security team led by a beautiful and enigmatic woman, but she's far from the only one keeping secrets. When foreign agents gun for him, old doubts resurface, and not even the CIA is above suspicion. 
 
 
 
Carver rediscovers his drive to fight. He may be guarding secrets vital to US national security, but he's a private contractor to the bone. This is Carver's show, and he knows the key to a timeless truth. When best-laid plans fall by the wayside, nothing can replace the indifferent precision of a man with a gun.

Square³

Mira Grant

We think we understand the laws of physics. 
 
 
 
We think a lot of things. It was perhaps inevitable that some of them would turn out to be wrong. 
 
 
 
When the great incursion occurred, no one was prepared. Of all the things physicists had predicted, "the fabric of reality might rip open and giant monsters could come pouring through" had not made the list. But somehow, that was precisely what happened. 
 
 
 
For sisters Susan and Katharine Black, the day of the incursion was the day they lost everything. Their home, their parents, their sense of normalcy . . . and each other, because when the rift opened, each sister was stranded in a separate form of reality. For Susan, it was science and study and the struggle to solve the mystery of the altered physics inside the zones transformed by the incursion. For Katharine, it was monsters and mayhem and the fight to stay alive in a world unlike the world of her birth. 
 
 
 
The world has changed. The laws of physics have changed. The girls have changed. And the one universal truth of all states of changed matter is that nothing can be completely restored to what it was originally, no matter how much you might wish it could be. 
 
 
 
Nothing goes back.
