Sinopsis

“Hip, violent and funny vignettes of the mean streets of southeast London tie together this rowdy set of short novels” from the Irish crime writer (Publishers Weekly). At sixty-two, Chief Inspector Roberts is nearly too old to be a cop, but he makes up for his age with a ferocity that the younger detectives cannot match. After four decades on the force, he has a daughter who hates him, a wife who cheats, and a bank account that grows emptier every year. But on London’s darker streets, Roberts is a force to be reckoned with. With his partner, the gleefully brutal Detective Sergeant Brant, Roberts looks for every policeman’s dream: the White Arrest, a high-profile success that makes up for all their past failures. In A White Arrest, their target is a bat-wielding lunatic who knocks off drug dealers. In Taming the Alien, they hunt a mysterious hit man who earned his nickname by carrying out a hit while watching Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic. And in The McDead, Roberts and Brant set their sights on a cunning kingpin ruling London’s southeast side. Gripping and gritty, Ken Bruen’s White Trilogy is an unforgettable noir portrait of London’s seedy underworld.

    It's been nearly a year since Rob Chandler drove headlong into a telephone pole, on a deserted road outside Kingman, Arizona. He survived the crash, even the 30,000-volt high-power cable that dangled inches from his head. But he didn't come away from the incident anywhere near the same man he was before. On the negative side, he was hearing strange voices in his head; on the positive side, he'd gained the ability to look deep into others' minds...and influence their thoughts.  
     
    Now an agent for the small, covert SIFTR Agency, Chandler is confronted with the possibility something terrible has occurred to a beloved fellow agent. He knows who is responsible, the WWZ, a fanatical neo-Nazi organization and another, even more powerful organization, called the Order. Together they are making their move - one that could alter the geopolitical landscape of the United States, forever. 
     
    The newly selected multi-billionaire leader of the Order, Rudy Palmolive, has a unique hobby...he's built an 1881 re-creation of the town of Tombstone...it's a testing ground for those interested in joining his diabolical organization. When Chandler infiltrates the town, he'll need more than his unique mental capabilities...he'll need to draw his Colt .45 Peacemaker faster than the man going by the name Billy the Kid.

    A novel with incredible prescience from late 1800's about the perpetual corruption of the elites and out of control oppression of the working class, set in late 80's of our time. Only if the steam could have been released before the revolution! And oh, the dangers of massive revolution. He seemed to predict computer screens and AI news, advanced weaponry, globalization, Capitalism, the collapse of Democracy, the insane corruption at al levels, and the split in society between the halves and the have nots. 
    Some great monologues in the struggle for power and to wrangle the will of the people. It's uncanny how important this message is now in the 2020's, and I won't spoil the ending about what the true possibilities are for humanity. We are also treated to a couple traditional romantic love stories along the way.

In the good pastor's mind there is no room for compromise or negotiation: he knows what God has told him, and with private investigators Dani Ross and Ben Savage helping him, he is sure God's plan will prevail. The mob boss, though, is used to getting his way. And he's used to doing whatever it takes to get it. Dani and Ben are prepared for his schemes, but it soon becomes dangerously clear to them that the battle against evil never ends, and that only a miracle can save them for a tragic fate.

    Dark and Disturbing Supernatural Suspense 
    The coming of age story of Joshua Campbell, a man of death-defying miracles, whose father proclaimed him the Second Coming of Christ.

    The entire world is watching as Joshua prepares to finally show the world who he really is. 
    “Ain’t No Messiah is a beautifully-written book about one man's effort to find himself - and maybe even a bit of happiness - in a world bitter enough to greet even a supposed Messiah with abuse and scapegoating.” ~Catherine Langrehr for IndieReader 
    “Joshua is a most unusual lead character in a most unusual story that harnesses religion, Mixed Martial Arts, pornography, and coming of age.” – Dave Goodreads reviewer

    May 1816: Jane Austen is feeling unwell, with an uneasy stomach, constant fatigue, rashes, fevers and aches. She attributes her poor condition to the stress of family burdens, which even the drafting of her latest manuscript—about a baronet’s daughter nursing a broken heart for a daring naval captain—cannot alleviate. Her apothecary recommends a trial of the curative waters at Cheltenham Spa, in Gloucestershire. Jane decides to use some of the profits earned from her last novel, Emma, and treat herself to a period of rest and reflection at the spa, in the company of her sister Cassandra. Cheltenham Spa hardly turns out to be the relaxing sojourn Jane and Cassandra envisaged, however. It is immediately obvious that other boarders at the guest house where the Misses Austen are staying have come to Cheltenham with stresses of their own—some of them deadly. But perhaps with Jane’s interference a terrible crime might be prevented. Set during the Year Without a Summer, when the eruption of Mount Tambora in the South Pacific caused a volcanic winter that shrouded the entire planet for sixteen months, this fourteenth installment in Stephanie Barron’s critically acclaimed series brings a forgotten moment of Regency history to life.
