The case with nine solutions

J.J. Connington

Synopsis

Dr. Ringwood pushed his chair back from the dinner-table. A glance at the clock on the mantelpiece told him that on this evening he had been even later than usual in getting home for dinner. The expression in his eyes showed that he had gone short of sleep for some time past; and when he rose to his feet, every movement betrayed his over-tired condition.
“Bring my coffee to the study, please, Shenstone,” he ordered. “And you might take the telephone in there as well.”
He crossed the hall wearily, switched on the study lights, and stood for a moment on the threshold as if undecided what to do. A bright fire burned on the hearth; the heavy pile of the carpet was soft to his feet; and the big saddlebag armchairs spoke to him of pure physical comfort and relaxation after the strain of the day. He moved over to a table, hesitated again, and then picked up a copy of the B.M.J. in its postal wrapper. Taking a cigar from a box on the table, he clipped it mechanically and sat down in one of the chairs by the fire.

Under Review - An Academic Thriller

Sid Stark

Doctor Rowena Halley hits rock bottom. Then she ends up on a terrorist hit list. 
August 2016. Rowena Halley, PhD, is nursing a busted knee and a busted heart. Plus, her career path is on a toilet trajectory and the divisive politics of a particularly fraught election cycle are threatening to bust up her family, too. Then Madison, former student, (former???) drug addict, and troublemaker extraordinaire, comes bursting back into her life. 
Rowena is afraid Madison will get her hauled in on drug and kidnapping charges. But the reality is even more dangerous. Madison has been digging into her family history. She’s unearthed a sordid story of Nazi collaboration in Eastern Europe. It’s not just in the past, either. Members of her family are carrying on the tradition, now using sophisticated social media tools to spread their message, and they want to bring Madison into the fold. 
To make things even more fun, Rowena’s ex-fiancé, Russian investigative journalist Dima Kuznetsov, has riled up some very unpleasant mercenaries from the Caucasus. If she’s not careful, Rowena could end up in the crosshairs of both groups. 
All this is forcing Rowena to undertake a serious review of her life choices. But even if she decides to change her life, it may be too late to save it. 
NB: This book, like all the books in the series, contains some serious adult language. You’ve been warned!

Be drawn into the compelling story of a man who must confront the intricacies of human relationships forged under extraordinary circumstances. Will Alex Banner's alter ego unravel the threads binding his two worlds, or will he master the delicate art of balance?
