Sinossi

In his first novel, the bestselling true crime author and star of ID’s hit series Dark Minds takes you into the world of a sadistic serial killer. 
 
M. William Phelps’s The Dead Soul takes you on a suspenseful journey through Boston’s illicit past, where Detective Jake “Sundance” Cooper fights to redeem his crumbling career. At the same time, a sadistic serial killer known as “The Optimist”—a character based on the author’s 20 years of research and writing about real serial killers—terrorizes young female victims along the city’s Freedom Trail. Cooper’s investigation exposes a corrupt Boston PD. It puts him at the center of a choice between blue blood loyalty and the pursuit of truth as his mentor, Detective Mo Blackhall, faces an indictment for his involvement in a scandal.  
 
This gritty thriller provides a fascinating look into the reality of Boston’s mean streets. Driven by a cast of characters reminiscent of Dennis Lehane’s finest fiction, The Dead Soul offers a thrill ride of suspense, mystery, and police procedural drama. 
 
“Read the first page of The Dead Soul and you won’t stop . . . Phelps’s narrative grabs you by the lapels and doesn’t let go.” —John Lutz, New York Times–bestselling author

    Out of the Frying pan is an exceedingly dark comedy that follows the story of Luther LaMotta and Martini Conti as they escape the death and dismemberment they have left behind in New York. Driving a brand new, stolen Lincoln Town Car the only plan they have is to lay low and try to out wit the gangsters that have been sent to kill them. Over the course of their exodus from danger they pick up a cavalcade of people. Some will become new friends, some lovers, and others maniacal hunters desperate for vengeance. This thrill ride will leave you spent and exhausted from the action, with your face hurting from laughing. Just like in it's prediseser, Luther, there's plenty of death murder and mayhem. But, hey, in THIS book I don't tie anyone to a chair and set them on fire burning down an entire strip club--but you'll wish I had. Double plus, you might laugh pee your pants, just a little.

    Thomas Brash is trying to escape, but knows he never will. No thinking person can escape from their past. Pursuing him is the memory of the family he lost to cholera. Perhaps he believes that traveling alone in a wild, dangerous land will end all his memories; there is no doubt he wishes to be alone. Whatever his intentions, the appearance of Frank Clement and the circumstances of that meeting upset those plans. 
    Brash views Clement as an uneducated child who requires fatherly protection and guidance. Clement views Brash as a tenderfoot and can not understand how anyone who knows so little could live so long. These two loners are joined by others, and they all become partners. Having achieved relative sanctuary and surrounded by civilization, their wilderness past comes back to haunt them.

    In London, 1666, drinking coffee can get you killed… 
    The case of Samuel Pepys’s missing pocket watch escalates rapidly when Eustace Blount, writer and wit, is found murdered in Rose’s Coffee House on The Strand. 
    Blount was a prig, a poseur and a parliamentarian – nobody liked him, not even his friends – and Pepys’s intrepid personal inquisitors, Abby Harcourt and Jacob Standish, find themselves with a suspect list as unwieldy as it is perplexing. 
    When their investigation leads to the nearby Gilded Bean coffee house, frequented by fervently royalist members of parliament, it becomes clear that a dangerous political game is afoot. Abby and Jacob face their most audacious challenge yet: 
    To break into Westminster Palace, at the very heart of English politics. The penalty, if discovered – is death. 
    The Samuel Pepys Mysteries bring 17th century England to life, in the company of the celebrated diarist himself, and his personal inquisitors, Abby and Jacob. If you love a fiendish mystery wrapped in vivid history, this series is for you.
