Unforgiven Victims

Rob Pierce

Sinossi

It’s been three years since Sherilee Malcolm was acquitted of the murder of her former mentor and lover, Otto Workman. A popular writer, Sherilee goes underground and creates a fictional character for herself, living a life of illusion. And then, one day, it cracks.
 
Washington “Wash” Shank, a detective hired by Sherilee’s lawyers to prove her innocent, is under siege from the firm where he works. His job was to ruin the confidence of the lead witness against Sherilee. Now that man, Simon Parker, claims he has seen a second murder, and believes it was committed by someone who's a dead ringer for Sherilee.
 
A sculptor and multimedia artist, Parker has a show scheduled that will reveal his vision of the murder and Sherilee’s guilt. Parker’s desire to reveal a truth he does not know, but is convinced he does, becomes a point that Shank wants to thwart, and Sherilee wants to disprove. Now, all of their reputations are at stake. But are their lives as well?

The Service of Wolves

Matt Sloane

Vince Carver is persona non grata. 
 
 
 
As an asset, he's difficult to control. As an operator, he has no equal. Carver may be on the outs with the CIA, but the feds recognize a value proposition when they see one. Sooner or later, his services are always in demand. 
 
 
 
He gets a shot at redemption when the son of a Mexican congressman is kidnapped by narcos. 
 
 
 
A newly hobbled DEA with diminished operational resources needs two things more than ever: a solution, and deniability. With Delta Force experience in hostage rescue and no official government ties, they tap Carver for the mission in Tijuana. 
 
 
 
But the cartels are only half the threat. 
 
 
 
Working for a politician has its benefits, but uncovering the root of evil in a powerful family is a killer. Carver must take on gun-wielding narcos, militarized special police, and burrow into the depths of an enduring family rivalry. 
 
 
 
If you go out with wolves, they'll teach you to howl.

Trapped - Figuratively or...

Edgar Allan Poe

In this volume we explore that difficult situation where lack of choice is your only choice.  We feel trapped either by the body or by the mind.  
 
Our classic authors put their characters in positions that we can all relate too, and then devise fiendish and uncomfortable ways to deepen the malaise or perhaps offer some sort of escape, however temporary.
