Sinossi

5. EXECUTE THE SENTENCE - WANDERER DETECTIVE SERIES

A bloody escape from a prisoner transport vehicle plunges the city into chaos. Four merciless fugitives, led by the hardened Kenshoff, are at large, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. With the police hot on their trail, they are desperate for an escape and will do anything, and hurt anyone, to secure it.

Far from the scene of violence, the renowned private detective, Obed de Swardt, the legendary wanderer detective, is enjoying a tranquil evening with his closest friends. The gathering is, however, suddenly and brutally shattered when Kenshoff and his cronies descend upon the home, searching for car keys. In a moment of courage, Obed’s friends turn the tables, gaining the upper hand on the dangerous criminals. But then, in a shocking turn of events that leaves his friends stunned, Obed does the unthinkable. He betrays them, siding with the convicted saboteurs. Why would a man of his stature turn his back on everything to help cold-blooded murderers?

Obed is drawn deeper into an underworld of deceit and vengeance. He discovers the escapees are not merely fleeing, but are also hunting a mysterious syndicate that betrayed them. Alliances shift as swiftly as flying bullets when a beautiful yet lethal female mastermind appears on the scene. She is a player with her own deadly agenda, one who completely changes the rules of the game. Caught between the police hunting him as an accomplice, the unstable criminals who could kill him at any moment, and a powerful organisation that tolerates no witnesses, Obed must rely on his razor-sharp instincts to survive. In this deadly situation, where the line between friend and foe blurs, one thing is certain. Before the sun rises, blood will flow. The only question is, whose sentence will ultimately be carried out?

Too Far Gone (A Morgan Stark FBI...

Rylie Dark

When victims of a serial killer are found dead by injection of a new pharmaceutical, Morgan Stark, a brilliant doctor-turned FBI agent, is summoned. With an abundance of theories as to the motive and murder, Morgan may be the only one who can wade through the medical possibilities to enter this killer’s mind. But will he be too late?

“A brilliant book. I couldn’t put it down and I never guessed who the murderer was!”
—Reader review for Only Murder

TOO FAR GONE is book #3 in a new series by #1 bestselling and critically acclaimed mystery and suspense author Rylie Dark, which begins with TOO LATE (book #1).

Morgan Stark is a renowned surgeon, acclaimed by his colleagues for his brilliance as a diagnostician. But when his close friend and protégé resident is murdered, Morgan feels compelled to help the FBI decipher the trail of medical clues and bring the killer to justice.

FBI Special Agent Danielle Hernandez, 28, a rising star in the BAU, equally esteemed by her colleagues for her brilliance and determination, is not used to turning to a doctor for help in solving crimes. This unlikely partnership, though, may just surprise them both.

Morgan and Danielle grapple with the motive behind this erratic killer. Why use a drug that saves people to kill them? Might the killer himself be sick? Could rival pharmaceutical companies be involved?

But Morgan and Danielle feel the motive is more primal.

And that this killer, if not stopped, will soon strike again.

A cat-and-mouse thriller with harrowing twists and turns and filled with heart-pounding suspense, the MORGAN STARK 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.

New Adventures of Sherlock...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Nora Godwin

The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Volume 4:
Throughout many years, Dr. John H. Watson accompanied his friend and companion Sherlock Holmes in solving countless mysteries and crimes. Beginning in the 1880s and into the 20th century, Holmes consistently held his status as the world’s most brilliant and successful detective. His accomplishments were painstakingly chronicled by Watson in notes that relate the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Many of his accounts have been published and are well-known to a broad readership.
There were times, however, when Watson would refrain from publishing his writings during his lifetime. He would do so for various reasons: At times, he would find himself forced to keep actual events and background information secret for moral, criminal, or financial reasons. Other times, he would want to either avoid potential political, legal, or social scandals or even damage to his own—or Holmes’s—reputation. Some of Watson’s accounts, however, were simply not published at the time because he was occupied with more important or urgent matters.
The New Adventures brings to the public for the very first time some of Watson’s accounts of Sherlock Holmes cases previously kept under lock and key.
