Sinossi

Japan is a fascinating place, but it also has a dark side. Hidden deep underground, it sometimes bubbles to the surface.
 
On holiday, James Ray's world is shattered when he witnesses a Yakuza assassination, narrowly escaping death. His nightmare is far from over. Branded a killer, he is accused of six murders and framed with doctored video and damning evidence, pitting the system against him.
 
In the shadows of a penitentiary hospital, James strikes a deal with the CIA and plunges into the dark underbelly of illegal arms sales and human trafficking. Racing against the clock to clear his name, can James outwit his enemies and prove his innocence, or will the underbelly of society destroy him?

    From Emmy Award winner Tamron Hall comes an edge-of-your-seat thriller featuring journalist Jordan Manning as she delves into the case of a mother in danger and uncovers a dangerous web of secrets that could lead right to the missing woman—or put Jordan in the crosshairs of her abductors.

    After dropping her child off at preschool, Marla Hancock, a stay-at-home mother, disappears. She had recently left her verbally abusive husband in rural Indiana and moved in with her sister, Shelly, who simply can’t believe that her sister would ever willingly vanish without her children. But with limited support from the town’s police department or media resources, Shelly fears that Marla’s disappearance won’t get the attention it deserves, or worse, will go unsolved. So, several weeks after filing a missing person’s report, she reaches out to TV journalist Jordan Manning for help. 
    After her investigative and reporting skills helped solve multiple murders, Jordan Manning’s career in the newsroom is on the rise. She has gained a reputation as more than your typical news reporter: a “fixer” with a vigilante edge, dogged and undeterred to seek the truth. But even with this new status, Jordan still feels pressure to prove herself as a young Black professional. When Shelly reaches out, she feels compelled to do all she can to find Marla.  
    Jordan’s search twists and turns in ways she could never have imagined, illuminating scandals and secrets that place her own life in grave danger.

    A bundle of books #1 (THE KILLING GAME), #2 (THE KILLING TIDE), and #3 (THE KILLING HOUR) in Kate Bold’s Alexa Chase Suspense Thriller series! This bundle offers books one, two, and three in one convenient file, with over 100,000 words of reading.Alexa Chase, 34, a brilliant profiler in the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, was too good at her job. Haunted by all the serial killers she caught, she left a stunning career behind to join the U.S. Marshals. As a Deputy Marshal, Alexa—fit, and as tough as she is brilliant—could immerse herself in a simple career of hunting down fugitives and bringing them to justice.“This is an excellent book… When you start reading, be sure you don’t have to wake up early!”—Reader review for The Killing GameIn THE KILLING GAME (Book #1), when a notorious serial killer escapes from a prison transport, it crosses the jurisdictions of the U.S. Marshals and the FBI’s BAU. The two departments are forced to come together on a new joint task force to hunt down the fugitive serial killer and bring him to justice. Alexa and her new partner, each territorial, don’t take well to each other. Between their tension and all the clues leading to dead ends and the bodies piling up on the killer’s spree, Alexa knows that she, up against a ticking clock, can’t afford to get this wrong. Especially when she realizes that she herself may be the next target. In THE KILLING TIDE (Book #2), with Alexa’s last case a big success, the FBI and the Marshals have decided to make their joint-task force permanent. Alexa, reeling from her own traumatic past and her PTSD of hunting serial killers, has no choice: she will now have to work with an FBI partner she dislikes and hunt down serial killers whose jurisdiction intertwines with that of the U.S. Marshals. Two federal judges are murdered, and startling evidence points to the work of a serial killer with a vendetta. But the judges have tried and convicted hundreds of people over their long careers, and with the suspect list a mile long, Alexa is in the race of her life to find the killer before he kills another judge on his list. And when the next victim offers a shocking twist, it throws everything Alexa thought she knew into doubt. Is this truly a vendetta? Or is this killer far more diabolical than he seems?In THE KILLING HOUR (Book #3), an infamous killer dramatically escapes death row, and Alexa’s joint task force is immediately put on the case. A high profile case with national media attention, Alexa isn’t the only one who’s called in—and between the clashes of ego with other state and federal powers, she knows the killer is only getting further away. What appears to be a straightforward manhunt, though, quickly evolves into something more complex, as more bodies turn up dead, and as the killer inexplicably eludes everyone. And when a shocking twist occurs that Alexa never saw coming, she realizes this case is far more complex—and disturbing—than she could have ever imagined. With the killer outsmarting everyone, Alexa is the only one with a mind brilliant enough to stop him, the only one standing between him and his next kill. But, weighed down by the pressure of her own traumatic past, can Alexa hold it together long enough to enter the darkest canals of his mind—and come out whole?A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured Deputy Marshal, the ALEXA CHASE series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.Books #4-#6 in the series—THE KILLING POINT, THE KILLING FOG, and THE KILLING PLACE—are also available.“This book moved very fast and every page was exciting.

    “Some cards you’re dealt. Others, you find.” 
    Jack Bardlow, Jr. doesn’t talk about what happened—not the burns, not the betrayals, and definitely not the fire that nearly ended everything. But when a mysterious woman offers him a drink and a listening ear, memories he’s buried deep come clawing to the surface. 
    In a hidden bar far from prying eyes, two cards sit between him and the past: the Ten of Diamonds and the Four of Clubs—keys to a puzzle he never knew he was part of. But it’s the card he didn’t expect, the Three of Spades, that starts the clock ticking again. 
    As old scars throb and new dangers emerge, Jack is drawn deeper into the Solitaire underworld. Every choice is a gamble. Every face hides an agenda. And the woman in red? She may not be who she seems. 
    The Three of Spades is a gritty, emotional chapter in The Solitaire Series, filled with buried secrets, brutal flashbacks, and the first flash of hope Jack’s had in a long, long time.
