  We Got Him

  "Elizabeth Searle's WE GOT HIM is an ingeniously plotted, suspenseful novel written in blood, mother's milk, and the unintended consequence of rage. It is the story of one family's inherited flaws, harbored guilts, and obsessive desires, whether for a child, a parent, or a second chance to do the elusive right thing. Powerfully worked against the unfolding events of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, Elizabeth Searle's taut drama of a young, pregnant stepmother and her troubled stepson is a narrative tour de force, interweaving public and private acts of terror with the redemptive, but ever–fragile, forces of love." —Melissa Pritchard

  Nothing Ever Happens In Mapleton … Until It Does 
  A small town police procedural-cozy mystery blend. In the eleventh offering in Terry Odell’s Mapleton Mystery series, Deadly Relations brings back familiar faces and introduces new ones. (Not to mention a couple of dogs and cats!) 
  Gordon Hepler, Mapleton, Colorado’s Police Chief, is called away from a quiet Sunday with his wife to an emergency situation at the home he’s planning to sell. A man has chained himself to the front porch, threatening to set off an explosive. 
  When Gordon discovers he knows the arsonist—his brother-in-law from his previous failed marriage—he’s sent down an unexpected road to find his ex-wife, who, along with his brother-in-law, has disappeared. Does Gordon need to worry that his brother-in-law will put in another appearance to finish what he’s started? 
  Meanwhile, he has to find a balance between his Chief Stuff and his Cop Stuff. Is Mapleton facing a homeless problem? Then there’s the town council, the budget, the upcoming election, plus finding a way to keep his officers up to speed with all the changes in crime. Adding the thorn-in-his-side reporter who seems to want to undermine everything Gordon’s trying to do for his town, creates more headaches.

  In ‘A Game of Shadows,’ David R. Canning delivers a psychological thriller that pulls readers into a dangerous contest of skill, deception, and survival. Three professional hitmen—Mark, Alistair, and Vincent—are drawn into a deadly competition where the prize is life itself, and the cost of failure is certain death. When Colleen Masters’s father, a powerful figure in the arms trade, is assassinated, her grief turns to vengeance. Determined to uncover the truth, she enlists Lloyd, her father’s trusted caretaker, to help orchestrate a ruthless game. Each assassin receives the same contract: eliminate the other two for a staggering reward. What begins as a straightforward mission quickly becomes a labyrinth of betrayal, shifting alliances, and hidden agendas. Mark relies on his military instincts, haunted by past traumas. Alistair approaches the game with precision and control, calculating every move. Vincent thrives on chaos, a volatile presence who bends the rules to his will. As the hunters become the hunted, each man must decide whom to trust and how far to go in order to survive. Set against a backdrop of power, secrecy, and personal vendettas, ‘A Game of Shadows’ is a taut exploration of revenge and the human need for control in a world built on lies. Every move counts, and in this game, shadows conceal more than they reveal.

Before the wedding, she had asked her husband-to-be never to ask about her past, as she had had some "very disagreeable associations" in her life, although she said that there was nothing that she was personally ashamed of. Their marriage had been a happy one until the messages began to arrive, first mailed from the United States and then appearing in the garden.
