Remington Kane

From REMINGTON KANE, the author of the Young Guns Series 
TANNER: YEAR EIGHT - A Tanner Series - Book 8 
Tanner wasn’t in love with Tonya Wilson but loved being around her. Like himself, Tonya had a secret she kept hidden. Tanner knew she wasn’t the simple personal assistant she claimed to be, and she was aware he was more than an average real estate investor. 
Everyone has a secret, and Tanner could live with not knowing Tonya’s. But then she died in what police were calling a “Tragic accident,” and Tanner found himself mourning her loss. 
But was it an accident, or was it murder? And if murder, what was the reason for it? 
More importantly, who killed Tonya Wilson? Who took away yet another person Tanner cared about? 
When Tanner went looking for answers, he discovered Tonya’s secret and the deadly reason why she was targeted for death. 
No. Tanner hadn’t been in love with Tonya Wilson, but he’d be damned if he wouldn’t avenge her death and make every last person responsible for it pay with their own lives. 
It’s Tanner on a rampage, and the guilty can run, but they can’t hide.

Deadheads

Reginald Hill

In a "splendid mystery with . . . a lovely twist," the Yorkshire detectives dig up a bad seed in a horticulturalist's rosy life (Publishers Weekly). 
 
 
  
Reginald Hill "raised the classical British mystery to new heights" when he introduced pugnacious Yorkshire Det. Inspector Andrew Dalziel and his partner, the callow Sgt. Peter Pascoe (the New York Times Book Review). Their chafing differences in education, manners, technique, and temperament made them "the most remarkable duo in the annals of crime fiction" (Toronto Star). The Gold Dagger Award–winning series was adapted into a long-running hit show for the BBC. 
 
 
  
What's the secret of Patrick Aldermann's success? Well, he was bequeathed his aunt's gardened estate after her sudden death; his wife's wealthy father died leaving the couple a hefty inheritance; and several fatal mishaps among colleagues have allowed the milquetoast to rise in his company with alarming speed. His boss fears he's hired a serial killer—a suspicion that's compelled the CID's Andrew Dalziel and Peter Pascoe to investigate. Is it possible the mild-mannered accountant, whose only real side passion seems to be roses, has a thorny edge? If yes, then who's the next deadhead to be pruned from Aldermann's perfect life?
