Summary

Few things are more dangerous than an unpaid debt."John Daly has a magical writing style, and his books keep you up late at night turning pages." - Dana Perino, former White House Press Secretary"Restitution offers hard-hitting action spearheaded by a badass protagonist who talks the talk and walks the walk in a brutal story of surviving an unforgiving territory… Written in the vein of old-school stories of revenge, familial bonds, and relentless action, Restitution is a definite must-read." - Kashif Hussain, Best Thriller Books"I think what impresses me the most about John Daly as a writer is his range. Restitution brings Sean Coleman fans the series’ traditional strong sense of setting and mood, and clipped, realistic dialogue, and adds a refreshing, subtle sense of heart and hope amidst all the Vegas grit and Western landscapes of the Nevada desert." - Jim Geraghty, senior political correspondent of National Review and author of the Dangerous Clique thriller seriesLife's gotten better for hard-edged security guard, Sean Coleman. With personal affairs in order and relationships rekindled, he travels to Las Vegas to help celebrate his buddy's last days as a bachelor. Soon after he arrives, however, a twist of fate spawns a reunion with an old flame.Curiosity and a desire to make amends unexpectedly lead Sean down a dark path into the Vegas underground, where another face from the past emerges---a federal fugitive whose family, years earlier, altered the course of Sean's life.A harrowing escape drops Sean in the barren wasteland of a Nevada desert, miles away from the glitz and glamor of Sin City. There, he must fight to stay alive against a well-armed group of men whose bloodlust and greed won't stop them from getting what they're after.

    Catrin and Rhys travel to Windsor Castle for their third medieval mystery together... 
    August 1284. On the heels of King Edward's triumph over Wales, the high point of his reign thus far, he receives the worst news possible: his eldest living son and heir to the throne of England has died. Concerned that his victories in Wales, and even more the means by which he came by them, have brought the wrath of the Almighty down upon his house, King Edward sends Catrin and Rhys to Windsor Castle to investigate. 
    But although they find victims and villains aplenty, their far greater test—of friendship, loyalty, and allegiance—is managing the expectations of a grieving king, who fears his son was murdered—and fears even more that he wasn't. 
    Paladin is the third book in The Welsh Guard Mysteries.

    What dreams may come ... 
    On the idyllic Swedish island of Gotland, another teenager is found dead. This makes 22 suicides in 17 months. Some knew each other, others didn't. There are no notes. No explanations. No reasons. Each new death rocks the island to its core, and everyone holds their breath for the next to be found ... 
     
    With the media ordered not to report on it, the police baffled, and the islanders looking desperately for someone, or something, to blame ... chaos is imminent. 
     
    Among the horror, a father whose daughter is missing searches frantically for answers. A journalism student chases the truth at all costs as fear and persecution grip her university. And a notorious detective is dragged out of exile to ask questions the police can't. Or won't ... 
     
    As terror takes root in every home and mind, and the death toll continues to rise, only one thing links the victims: a black heart, etched into their skin. What does it mean? And will it be enough to save the island before it tears itself apart?

    "The Duke's Shadow: The Secret Chronicle of Guy de Valois" by Quentin Drummond Anderson 
    In his haunting and masterfully crafted historical novel "The Duke's Shadow," Quentin Drummond Anderson weaves a dark tapestry of medieval espionage that challenges our conventional understanding of the Norman Conquest. Through the chilling protagonist Guy de Valois, Anderson presents a shadow history that explores the psychological depths of power, loyalty, and the complete absence of humanity in the pursuit of political dominance. 
    The novel's greatest triumph lies in its protagonist, though 'protagonist' feels almost inappropriate for a character so devoid of traditional heroic qualities. Guy de Valois emerges as one of the most compelling antiheroes in recent historical fiction. From his formative years as a young page to his transformation into William the Conqueror's ruthless spymaster, de Valois embodies the darker aspects of medieval power politics. Anderson's portrayal is unflinching - there are no attempts to soften de Valois or make him more palatable to modern sensibilities. Instead, we are presented with a character whose complete lack of humanity becomes his defining characteristic, particularly after his brutal torture at Valognes. 
    The novel's structure, divided into chapters that chronicle de Valois's evolution from calculated manipulator to something altogether more terrifying, allows Anderson to explore the machinery of medieval power from multiple angles. The early chapters, focusing on de Valois's education in the art of manipulation, establish the groundwork for what becomes an increasingly dark narrative. The pivotal Valognes sequence, where de Valois endures torture to protect William, serves as a psychological turning point, after which the character's remaining humanity is stripped away entirely. 
    The novel is also available on Amazon Kindle.
