Sinossi

“Boudreaux weaves his legal and security expertise into a high velocity tale of counterterrorism and conspiracy that will grip the reader.” —Michael Chertoff, Former US Secretary of Homeland SecurityScavenger Hunt is a suspense novel chronicling the plight of Blake Hudson, a Justice Department lawyer assigned to a clandestine counterterrorist group created to bypass onerous legal requirements. After the group mysteriously disbands, Hudson becomes the scapegoat and is transformed from hunter to hunted. As he searches for answers and attempts to piece the puzzle together, people are following him, trying to kill him.Written for fans of fast-paced thrillers, dry humor, political gamesmanship, and Clue-like twists and turns, Scavenger Hunt carves out a distinct niche best described as a hybrid of the Robert Ludlum classics and works by Brad Meltzer. Blake Hudson's story addresses issues that have shaped recent elections and continue to frustrate interest groups and government leaders, while featuring the inner workings of the U.S. Department of Justice Building—arguably the most important and misunderstood agency in the federal government. Author Chad Boudreaux's unique voice and page-turning storytelling packs a plot-driven punch that readers won't be able to put down.“An intelligent thriller . . . Boudreaux makes the most of his concept, populating his page-turning plot with plausible characters and developments.” —Publishers Weekly“Readers who like a story in which someone is shoved headlong into a very different life, à la Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne, are the audience for this fast-moving thriller.” —Henrietta Verma, firstCLUE“Boudreaux weaves a daunting story of treachery and puppeteering in this finely crafted race for survival.” —Best Thriller Books

    The classic Evil Under the Sun, one of the most famous of Agatha Christie’s Poirot investigations, has the fastidious sleuth on the trail of the killer of a sun-bronzed beauty whose death brings some rather shocking secrets into the light. 
    The beautiful bronzed body of Arlena Stuart lay face down on the beach. But strangely, there was no sun and Arlena was not sunbathing…she had been strangled. 
    Ever since Arlena’s arrival the air had been thick with sexual tension. Each of the guests had a motive to kill her, including Arlena’s new husband. But Hercule Poirot suspects that this apparent “crime of passion” conceals something much more evil.

    "Do you remember Savannah?" 
     
     
     
    How could she forget? Two decades ago, Trinity Calhoun's best friend—eighteen-year-old Savannah Stuart—went missing. Just weeks later, Savannah's body was found brutally slain outside the mountain town. With no suspects or leads, the local authorities dismissed the murder as a tragic one-off, likely perpetrated by a tourist. But Trinity wasn't convinced. 
     
     
     
    Determined to do better for other victims, she left town and settled in Vancouver, rising through the ranks to become a detective. She's never looked back. But now, an unexpected phone call from her former lover has her barreling down the highway to face the past. 
     
     
     
    Another young woman has disappeared under eerily similar circumstances. Allegedly. But the local police are disinterested. Trinity's ex has a tenuous—at best—hold on his mental and physical health. And Savannah's secretive and handsome brother is in town, asking an awful lot of questions. 
     
     
     
    Trinity's focus is clouded. Maybe her judgment, too. As she wades through her past, she needs to answer a potentially life-threatening question: is there a dangerous, repeat criminal on the loose, or is she just desperate for closure? 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    First introduced in 1927 in the short story "The Tuesday Night Club," Miss Marple would become a favorite with readers and would appear in a dozen novels and over twenty short stories. Collected here are ten of her earliest short stories- collectively called "The Tuesday Night Club Stories" - along with the first full novel featuring Miss Marple - "Murder at the Vicarage." 
    They are presented here in their original and unabridged format and have been narrated by renowned audiobook performer Sara Nichols.

    The Lesson Plan is the first novel in my Robert Klayman Crime Thriller Series. It follows the path Bob Klayman takes from substitute teaching to an apprenticeship with a private detective before setting off on his own to hunt down a brutal murderer. He journeys into a world of corruption as he cuts through the entrenched bureaucracy of a Los Angeles school district, rife with sinister players who hide behind educational façades. The action takes place at the turn of this century, before the internet and cell phones monopolized our lives, and when a P.I. had to do some old-fashioned gumshoeing to catch his prey.
