  In this sequel to The Pangaea Solution, David Blum once again battles the shadowy Global Futures Alliance and their plans for reshaping humanity. Partnering with fellow agent Tina Santini, the pair uncovers a diabolical new plot to integrate artificial intelligence with “The Sugar Cube,” a massive optical computer configured to experience artificial emotion. The GFA’s goal? Dissect the internal language of the brain and synthesize sounds that can drive people to extreme emotional states. As a colonel at the U.S. Army War College warns them, combining such signals with targeted social media could prove more profound to the future of global warfare than even nuclear weapons. 
  From London, Northern Virginia and Maryland, to Cuba and Honduras, the team pursues the scientists and operatives hell-bent on launching and winning the next world war. As the final seconds tick down, Blum must pit his mental strength against that of the Cube itself, knowing he might die in the process.

  11.03.2024 (Findaway) 
  Drina skips foreplay when she seduces traitors. Rather, she specializes in deporting them to a prison island in the Adriatic.  
  All goes well for the spy until she loses her heart to one of her targets, a man twenty years her junior. He searches the archieves of the secret service and discovers the ugly thruth about the Island of Shame, Goli Otok.  
  Exposed as a spy among friends, Drina embarks on a quest for redemption, risking the wrath of her vicious boss. 
  Drina, The Spy Who Made Love Twice, is a gripping tale of betrayals and seduction set against the backdrop of violence and repression in post-WW2 Europe. 
  Although the story is fictional, the historical context is not. Goli Otok became a gulag after Yugoslavia’s leader Tito had said ‘no’ to Stalin and started imprisoning countrymen suspected of Stalinist sympathies. The prison island existed until 1988, well after his death.   
  Packed with romance and action, this historical spy novel takes the reader from the majestic coasts of Croatia and Greece to the vineyards of Provence and the white cliffs of southern England.

  In the seedy underworld of Las Vegas, an elite game takes place behind the velvet curtain of privilege and deceit. Welcome to the electrifying twenty-first episode of the Solitaire Series—"The Five of Diamonds." 
  Enter Cynthia, or as the criminal underbelly knows her, Janice—a cunning FBI agent submerged deep undercover in a labyrinth of high-stakes gambling and moral compromise. This night should be no different; a routine hand in the backroom tables where $5,000 is just the ante. But when Cynthia's evening takes an unexpected and perilous turn, the deck is suddenly stacked against her. 
  Caught in a web of blurred visions and suspicious allies, Cynthia is rescued from the brink by Jake, a fellow card shark with secrets as cryptic as her own. But who is Jake, really? And why does he cling to the shadows of memory and unsolved riddles? Janet's world turns upside down as she wakes from a drug-induced haze, and the cold confines of an unknown room become her reality. 
  As a twisted alliance unfolds, this seemingly solid façade of a gambling operation unravels into a sinister plot of deception, where predatory gaming masks a darker, drug-fueled agenda. Can two undercover agents from rival factions—Janet, the Queen of her own perilous game, and Jake of the DEA—tear down the house of cards threatening to imprison them both? 
  The answers lie within Solitaire, the corrupt organization reigning supreme over Vegas's illicit empire, where everyone holds their breath for the gamble of their lives. Explore the duplicitous dynamics and rising tempos of intrigue with Episode 20 of the Solitaire Series. Chance, betrayal, and a shot in the dark dictate the place at the table in this high-stakes showdown. Will the Five of Diamonds be Cynthia's final draw, or her ultimate escape?

  K. C. Constantine returns with the long-awaited final chapter of his saga of the Rocksburg Police Department. 
   
   
   
  The police force of Rocksburg, Pennsylvania, doesn't see a ton of action. With jobs and industry moving away from the small city outside Pittsburgh, Detective Ruggiero "Rugs" Carlucci's greatest adversaries are his negligent vacation-prone fellow officers and an older divorcee who has a habit of dancing naked on her back porch when she stops taking her medication. Retirement is on the horizon for Rugs, and the Vietnam vet is counting the days until he can move on from the job. 
   
   
   
  But Rocksburg isn't going to let Rugs drift off to retirement without a fight. Before he can neatly wrap up his career, Rugs will face a mad shooter, a vengeful city councilman, and, most perilously, his own mother. 
   
   
   
  With a supporting cast of characters painted through uproarious profanity and heart-wrenching confessions, Another Day's Pain is a bold and darkly funny novel about crime and the damaged souls it leaves behind.
