A church elder is the life of the party—but not for long—in this English village mystery by the author of the Inspector Littlejohn mysteries.   Zion Chapel’s annual anniversary tea party is an opportunity for the typically stuffy and sanctimo-nious Alderman Harbuttle to loosen up, and this year he’s unexpectedly rowdy. After a lot of laughter and loud singing, he starts to lead the parishioners in a conga line through the winding corridors. But the festivities turn fatal, and Superintendent Nankivell of the local police is soon stir-ring up some sinful secrets. . . .  Previously published as Turmoil in Zion  Praise for George Bellairs’s mysteries   “Excellent characterization.” —The New York Times   “Wit [that] shines from the very first page.” —Kirkus Reviews   “When you get a George Bellairs story you get something worth reading.” —Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch

    Through jungles, across the ocean, and in an ancient city forgotten by time, Ethan's loyalty to family and his code of honor will be pushed to the limit, setting him on a collision course with an old accomplice. 
    Former treasure hunter Ethan Chase is officially "retired" in Georgia with his wife, where he works a desk job and relaxes on the beach in his free time. Life is good, and nothing can bring Ethan back into the high-stakes craziness he left behind.... 
    Until a Mafia boss calls Ethan one morning to tell him about his estranged father's enormous debt, and threatens to kill his father if Ethan cannot pay it in two weeks.

    He's not alone in this pursuit, however, and ends up in the fight of his life. 
    EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the third fast-paced book in the "Ethan Chase Thriller" series of globe-trotting, treasure-hunting adventures. Ethan Chase is back, and this time he's after one of the world's greatest hidden treasures.

    For fans of dark, gripping thrillers and intense police procedurals comes a story that will keep you up all night. 
    Eden Mercer, a determined young officer in the fog-shrouded, tight-knit town of Nightfall, Oregon, is haunted by her past in a fundamentalist cult. With her loyal K-9 partner, Shadow, by her side, she’s eager to prove herself in a department dominated by machismo. 
    When a couple stumbles upon a woman’s body in a ritualistic burial deep within the dense, misty forests, Eden is thrust into a chilling mystery. As she delves deeper, disturbing clues and unsettling secrets tied to a local cult emerge. The stakes escalate with the approach of an ominous lunar eclipse—a celestial event the cult views as a harbinger of dark rituals. 
    The discovery of a missing boy connected to the case raises the tension to a fever pitch, as Eden realizes he could be the next victim. Failure means more than letting a murderer walk free; it could cost an innocent child his life and shatter Eden's belief in her ability to protect and serve. 
    With the clock ticking, Eden races against time through dark woods and eerie silence to save the boy and earn her place as a detective. Will she conquer her demons and stop the cult before it's too late? 
    Dive into "Shattered Silence" and immerse yourself in a heart-pounding tale that will leave you breathless.

    The year is 1986—the tarnished heart of the "Greed is Good" decade. 
    Private detective Peter O’Keefe, a physically scarred and emotionally battered Vietnam vet, is hired by childhood friend and attorney Mike Harrigan to investigate what appears to be a petty mink farm Ponzi scheme in the Ozarks. But quickly O’Keefe finds himself snared in a vicious web of money laundering, cocaine smuggling, and murder—all at the behest of a mysterious mobster only referred to as Mr. Canada. Also caught up in Mr. Canada’s illicit network is the exquisite Tag Parker, who seems to dance between roles as the woman of O’Keefe’s dreams—and his nightmares. 
    From start to finish Mink Eyes delivers classic noir crime fiction at its finest. In a category filled with formulaic and predictable characters and plot lines, reviewers are calling Mink Eyes absolutely “unique and unexpected.”
