Sinopse

6. BONDS OF DEATH - FABEL RETIEF SERIES

In the dust-dry, peaceful village of Swartrand, where the biggest news is a new tennis chairman, the community is shaken to its very foundations. The beloved Alwyn Colenbrander, a man without enemies, has been murdered in cold blood in his study, an ancient dagger driven deep into his heart. With no leads, no motive, and a murder weapon wiped clean, the local police stand powerless before this seemingly impossible enigma.

Then a stranger arrives, a man with a reputation that precedes him. The legendary detective, Fabel Retief. Under the guise of an ordinary visitor, Fabel penetrates the town’s facade of tranquility, and his sharp eye soon falls upon the new barman. A man with a dark past and a shocking connection to Colenbrander’s beautiful widow, Renske. Fabel soon realises that the murderer is not just a stranger but a hardened ex-commando member, fuelled by years of pent-up hatred and vengeance.

What follows is a psychological game that explodes into a violent confrontation and a desperate flight, deep into the unforgiving wilderness of the Fish River Canyon. Here, in the heart of the abyss, the two arch-enemies are bound together in the most unimaginable way, by the iron grip of handcuffs. Shackled to the murderer, a struggle for survival begins for Fabel, where only one can win. Will his brilliant mind be enough to survive the bestial strength of an unscrupulous soldier, or will the “Shackles of Death” drag them both to a certain doom?

Michael C. Grumley

Under a light rain, Mike Mansfield stands stoically beneath a large elm tree, waiting patiently for the person he has been searching for. Burly and in his mid-fifties, Mansfield was what some might call chaotically good—a person with an unshakable sense of right and wrong, and a very unique brand of justice.  
  
However, what Mansfield doesn’t know is that after years of working in the shadows, someone has now found him. And they have been watching Mansfield for sometime.  
  
That person is David Bruni. A man with both the money and opportunity to do something truly astonishing with modern technology. He too has been working in secret … to build a supercomputer capable of ‘stitching’ together the billions of pictures taken every day to create snapshots of the world at any given time.  
  
The capability proves to be extraordinary, and one that has coincidentally revealed to Bruni the secret behind Mike Mansfield’s enigmatic success at finding people no one else can. A well-kept secret not even Bruni would have expected.  
  
Yet it’s not until a third critical piece appears, a young INTERPOL agent named Leslie Salazar, that Bruni’s true reason for creating his incredible system finally becomes clear.  
  
For years no one had any idea what Bruni was up to … and that was exactly the way he wanted it.

FurOut

Renee George

In Paradise Falls, I'm the law. Since I became the police chief, crime here is about as common as a good hair day in a tornado, and peace between shifters and witches has never been smoother. My familiar, Tizzy the squirrel, keeps me entertained with her acorn-fueled antics, while my bear shifter hubby, Ford, makes me feel like the safest witch on the planet. 
 
 
 
Like a vegan at a barbecue, trouble rolls into town in the form of a pack of werewolves. These furry interlopers aren't here for the scenic hikes or the artisanal honey—oh no, they want a piece of Paradise Falls, and they're not asking politely. When the Witch-Shifter Coalition votes to boot the wolves, the head howler throws down the gauntlet, declaring the sacred Rite of Arphlitian—a ritual fight to the death as ancient as the town's oldest oak tree. 
 
 
 
With no choice, the town must choose a champion. And guess who volunteers? As the new mayor, Ford steps up to the challenge. 
 
 
 
I'm sure someone in town is conspiring with the newcomers to take down the leadership in Paradise Falls. But who? And to what end? 
 
 
 
Unfortunately, in Paradise Falls, the only thing more magical than the town's charms is this mystery.

Red Harvest

Dashiell Hammett

Red Harvest is a hardboiled classic that set the standard for gritty, no-nonsense crime fiction. Written by Dashiell Hammett, this explosive novel follows an unnamed detective—referred to only as "The Continental Op"—as he arrives in a corrupt industrial town known as "Poisonville." Hired to clean up the city, he quickly finds himself in the middle of a brutal gang war. Betrayals, double-crosses, and brutal power plays spiral into chaos as the Op's relentless quest for justice leads to a blood-soaked reckoning. 
With its razor-sharp dialogue, brutal realism, and dark wit, Red Harvest established Hammett as a pioneer of noir fiction, cementing his legacy as the godfather of the genre. This is a relentless tale of moral ambiguity and violence, where every character walks the thin line between survival and self-destruction.
