Brutal Boy

G DE BRUIN

Sinopse

The story revolves around the hunt for Paul Leonard, the man responsible for the death of Stanley Colton's mother and father, Jack and Samantha Colton and his younger sister, Ashley. Jack was a detective as well as a hitman of an underground elite to stabilize the prison, as well as the country's population by eliminating murderers and rapists. This elite was started by high court judge, Judge Roberts. Jack and the rest of the family are murdered by Paul Leonard. Paul Leonard was a cop also set up as a hitman by Judge Roberts, who took advantage of this elite, creating a mob army to racketeer and make money off of weapons and drug smuggling. Jack Colton was the last to try and eliminate Paul as he had already killed all the families in association with the elite. Roberts gave Paul the idea of who the families were that tried to eliminate them. Although this is not shown, it's stated when Stanley meets up with Roberts. Stanley witnessed the death of his family by hiding underneath a table, not being noticed. 13 years later detective Frank Colton and Officer Michael Sharp investigate files of previous convicts and one young hitman, never to be caught or ever convicted, to help them on their mission to capture and kill Paul Leonard with the help of Judge Roberts. Frank realizes that Stanley is the one who's never been caught and tries to trace him up. With the significant help Officer Michael Sharp, Frank Colton finds out about Stanley Colton's whereabouts. The two other convicts are already found and they await Stan's approval. Detective Colton approaches Stan without telling him that they are family. Stanley's attitude and heavy metal appearance shows that he has another life going. He continually disapproves stating "there were some things in life I chose to put behind me." Tracey, Stanley's on and off girlfriend, who's aware of his hitman and tough skills, encourages him to participate as she tells him that there's nothing wrong in receiving a little help. Stanley

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

WITH RAGE is book #4 in a new series by #1 bestselling and critically acclaimed mystery and suspense author Rylie Dark, whose books have received over 2,000 five-star reviews and ratings.

FBI Special Agent Maeve Sharp never got over her sister’s disappearance when they were teenagers, the case gone cold, the feeling that just maybe she is still out there, somewhere. It ruined her family and destroyed her father who, once a decorated cop on the LVPD, now sits alone in a dilapidated trailer in the middle of nowhere, refusing to reconcile with her. It wrecked her brother, too, leading to lockup after lockup, as he pleads with Maeve to help get her out. And it wrecked her mom most of all, who in her dying days can think of nothing else.

Maeve though she got away from it all when she transferred to Quantico and made a career for herself.

But the past has a way of calling, of bringing back dark and unresolved memories. And Maeve has stepped right back into, ready, this time, to wrestle her darkest demons while she hunts down new serial killers….

A cat-and-mouse thriller with harrowing twists and turns and filled with heart-pounding suspense, the MAEVE SHARP mystery series offers a fresh twist on the genre as it introduces two brilliant protagonists who will make you fall in love and keep you turning pages late into the night.

The Shadow Contract

Chris Broyhill

For the last year an elusive assassin, code-named The Shadow, has evaded counter-intelligence and law enforcement agencies around the world. During that time, 50 people have been killed with long-range, precisely-placed shots taken from the assassin’s .50 caliber rifle. The CIA knows the assassin is using a private jet to travel between targets, so Pearce’s handlers call on his unique talents to help them get closer to the killer. They send him to Paris, as a contract crew member on a Dassault Falcon 7X and Pearce comes face to face with the deadly assassin, in a guise he never sees coming. 
From a posh martini bar in London, to the playground of the rich and famous in Saint Moritz, Switzerland, to the streets of Edinburgh, Scotland and the shores of Lake Tahoe, California, Pearce is caught up in a rapidly moving adventure that puts him into the cockpits of several aircraft and forces him to confront a ruthless killer who plays upon Pearce’s own inner demons. Along the way, Pearce will have to deal with the carnage he creates with his own hands and the death that seems to occur around him. And he’ll be forced to decide if he can live with the consequences of it all. 
If he stays alive that long.

The Letters of Hollow Creek

Zach Ferguson

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The water is going down — and Hollow Creek's oldest secret is rising with it. 
 
Thirty years ago, the dam flooded the valley and drowned the old town: its 
houses, its church, and at least one man no one bothered to miss. Now a long 
drought is pulling the reservoir back, and the old black steeple has begun to 
rise crooked from the surface, like something climbing out. 
 
Then the letters start. Fresh ink, slipped under doors in the dark, signed by 
a man who has been dead for thirty years. 
 
Quinn Marsh came to write a quiet story about a dying town. She turns out to be 
the only one who can feel the cold that arrives with each letter — the only one 
the drowned man will speak to. Jonah Reed wants one thing before the water 
closes over him again: he wants Hollow Creek to say who killed him, and why. 
 
But the town keeps its own order, and someone it still trusts has spent three 
decades making sure the truth stayed under. The longer Quinn looks, the plainer 
it becomes that some secrets would sooner take another body than surface. 
 
In a town that polices itself, the most dangerous thing you can do is keep looking. 
 
The Letters of Hollow Creek is the second novel in the Strange Town Files — a 
series of standalone supernatural mysteries that can be read in any order.

There’ll Be Shell to Pay

Molly MacRae

Maureen is still getting used to life on Ocracoke Island, learning how to play the "shell game" of her business—and ghost whispering with the spirit of Emrys Lloyd, the eighteenth-century Welsh pirate who haunts her shop, The Moon Shell. The spectral buccaneer has unburied a treasure hidden in the shop's attic that turns out to be antique shell art stolen from Maureen's late husband's family years ago. 
 
 
 
Victor "Shelly" Sullivan and his wife Lenrose visit the shop and specifically inquire about these rare items. Not only is it suspicious that this shell collector should arrive around the time Maureen found the art, but Emrys insists that Sullivan's wife is an imposter because Lenrose is dead. A woman's corpse the police have been unable to identify was discovered by the Fig Ladies, a group who formed an online fig appreciation society. They're meeting on Ocracoke for the first time in person and count Lenrose among their number, so the woman can't possibly be dead. 
 
 
 
But Lenrose's behavior doesn't quite match the person the Fig Ladies interacted with online. Now, Maureen and Emrys—with assistance from the Fig Ladies—must prove the real Lenrose is dead and unmask her mysterious pretender before a desperate murderer strikes again . . .

Scott Evers: The Dead Passenger...

W. R. Stanek

A dead man's identity has just checked a bag.

When a man falls inside an international airport, Scott Evers is left with seven travel receipts, an old boarding pass, and a problem no security system wants to admit.

One passenger in the paper trail is dead.

His loyalty account isn't.

His baggage tag is current.

And another receipt points to a flight that hasn't happened yet.

Working with investigator Claire Ellison, Scott begins pulling at the seams between kiosks, contractor gates, baggage systems, maintenance corridors, old commercial records, and the people who trust a valid screen because everyone else does. Almost everything checks out. The credentials work. The routes exist. The systems behave exactly as designed.

Then someone with the right uniform and the wrong purpose comes after the evidence.

The deeper Scott goes, the less the case looks like ordinary identity theft. Someone is testing how far a dead passenger can travel through the living world - and learning which doors will still open when his name appears.

Scott Evers: The Dead Passenger is a fast, grounded espionage thriller about identity, access, tradecraft, and the dangerous difference between a valid credential and the truth.

A complete standalone thriller. No prior Scott Evers novel is required.
