The Body Falls

Andrea Carter

Bridges Down—Roads Impassable—Killer Trapped 
 
 
 
April in Florida and Benedicta (Ben) O'Keeffe is enjoying balmy temperatures during the last few days of a six month stint with a US law firm. A week later, she returns to Glendara, Inishowen, where a charity cycle event is taking place. The town is abuzz with excitement, but it starts to rain, causing the cyclists to postpone the start of their event and stay overnight in the town. The rain doesn't stop—it becomes relentless, torrential. 
 
 
 
In the middle of the night, Police Sergeant Tom Molloy is called out to Mamore Gap, where a body, dislodged from a high bank by the heavy rain, has fallen onto a passing vehicle. It is identified as Bob Jameson, a well-known charities boss and the organizer of the cycling event. Stunned, the local doctor finds evidence of a recent snakebite. Terrible weather persists and soon bridges are down and roads are impassable. Glendara is completely cut off and since there are no native snakes in Ireland, could there be a killer trapped in the community? With no help from the outside world, it's left to Molloy—with Ben's assistance—to find out who is responsible for Bob Jameson's bizarre death.

Devil's Memoirs The: Volume One

Lucienne LeBeau

Every deal has a cost. Every soul has a story. And the Devil remembers all of them. 
Meet Lucky Beaumont: casino mogul, mother, monster, angel fallen and remade. To mortals, she's a billionaire with a smile sharp enough to draw blood. To those who cross her path, from bullied children to broken men to the wicked who think they'll never fall, she is something far older, far kinder, and far more terrifying than the legends ever dared to tell. 
In these interwoven tales, Lucky opens the door to her past and present: 
a lonely girl clutching a jump rope in a ruined church.... 
a family road trip to a crater where Heaven once broke.... 
a trio of students caught between a haunted house and a debt long overdue.... 
and a predator who finally meets something hungrier than himself. 
Through each story, Lucky writes to the one person she cannot forget: Rafe, revealing the truth behind mercy, monstrosity, and the love that reshaped Hell itself. 
Gothic folklore, supernatural noir, an intimate confessional combine in The Devil's Memoirs as it pulls back the curtain on the Morning Star and finds not a villain, but a protector; not damnation, but choice.
