The Mystery, Crime, and Thriller Group discussion

I've recently published to Amazon the first book of my Mob Girls trilogy, Mob Girls: Genesis.

It is the story of the war fought between the mob families in Cleveland, OH and Pittsburgh, PA for the soul of Youngstown, OH.

Ayn Barese, eldest of identical triplets born to Nicolo and Mary Rose Barese, uncovers a secret threat to her family’s privileged lifestyle. Nicolo Santino Barese has agreed with the Federal Prosecutor in Cleveland, Ohio to turn states’ evidence. He will abandon his wife and children, enter witness protection and violate the blood-oath sworn to his Youngstown Mafia family. Ayn holds the truth close to her heart until she is certain that there is only one way forward.

Ayn must persuade sisters Aurora and Amelia to join a devil’s bargain to save her family and do the unthinkable. Nicky Barese must be stopped and the family business saved.

I'm hoping you'll give it a look and consider sharing a review. You can find it on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Mob-Girls-Gene...

Or you can contact me for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Many thanks,

Looking for Amazon/Goodreads reviews for my latest book. As the 20th anniversary of 9/11 is fast approaching, your reviews would be most appreciated.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096LTWCB5?...

In 9/11/Remembered: Twenty Years Later, award-winning author, Bob Martin shares remembrances of first responders on that horrific day. The book begins with two of his own short stories based on his years in public service, followed by three first-person recollections. The book is a moving tribute to all those who served.

All profits going to the NYPD/USMC Sgt. Mike Curtin 3256 Foundation


Here’s a “snap shot" of those stories-
9/11Remembered-Twenty Years Later features the stories of a number of NYPD 9/11 heroes, some who made “the ultimate sacrifice" and three, who against all odds, managed to survive. Their stories are unbelievable.

Detective Pete Moog, blown off his feet, across West Street, trapped under the Chambers Street pedestrian walkway when the South Tower falls. The debris is piling up, it’s pitch black, he can’t breathe. He thinks he’s about to die. “God, if I have to go, please make it quick and tell my dad (who had died months before) I’ll see him soon.” He and the other trapped cops are pounding on the World Financial Center’s glass wall behind them, to no avail. One of the cops draws his 9mm, puts three rounds into the glass, creates a hole big enough for them all to escape. Pete goes right back out, starts digging in an attempt to rescue a buried firefighter, when the North Tower comes down. He suffered a broken hip when propelled across West Street into a parked car, but spent the next four days digging for trapped people and the next six months at “The Pile,” before undergoing a hip replacement. He’s been diagnosed with 9/11 related cancer and had half of one kidney removed.

Then NYPD Lieutenant, now Chief Terri Tobin. (still on the job-twenty years later) Her story is the most most amazing. At the suggestion of then First Deputy Commissioner Joe Dunne, she dons an ESU, heavy duty, kevlar helmet. Minutes later, she is standing at the base of the South Tower when it comes down. She’s blown out of her shoes, across West Street, trapped up to her waist in debris, when she is struck in the head by a piece of concrete. The helmet, which is bullet resistant, cracks in half. She feels blood running down her neck. She reaches up to discover she has a four inch piece of concrete, embedded in her skull. There is no doubt, without the helmet, she is beheaded. She eventually extricates herself and helps dig out a firefighter trapped under an ambulance. The North Tower falls, she runs, gets hit in the back with something. She gets up and starts organizing the evacuation of tenants in a Battery Park City apartment building. She runs into Moog, who she knows. “We’ve got to get these people down to the Hudson River.” Pete says, “Terri, we’ve got to get you down there. I’ll carry you." Terri says, “No, I’m alright.”
Pete says, “Terri, you got a pane of glass sticking out of your back and a chunk of concrete in your skull.”
Eventually, they get Terri on an NYPD launch to Ellis Island, where she’s transported to a Jersey Hospital. Doctors sew up her head and back wounds (80+ Stitches) and inform her that she also has a severe concussion and a broken ankle, which they can’t cast, it’s cut-up and swollen. She GOES BACK to WTC. She probably made over one hundred quick decisions after the first tower fell. NOT ONE OF THEM was,“How can I help myself ?"


There’s also a great story about Captain Steve McAllister, the C.O. of the Technical Assistance Response Unit.
On day four of the dig, reality has set in, there are no survivors to be saved. Just the uncovering of bodies and body parts. Dangerous, dirty, depressing work. Steve sees that his troops are beaten, dejected, losing the stamina and will to continue. He writes a letter. Tells them that the huge Redwood trees, which people assume must have very deep root systems, actually have very shallow roots. But, all of the tree's roots interconnect with the other Redwoods, so in storms or high winds, they support each other. He tells his troops that they must do the same. "Count on you partner, you boss, your friend to get through this,” he urges.
I use The Redwoods letter to end the book stating that, “Its call for cops to support each other in troubled times is as relevant now, as it was twenty years ago.”

Readers’ Comments
“In 9/11 Remembered, I am reminded of a favorite quotation: ‘There are no great men, only ordinary men who in response to extraordinary challenges do great things.’ On 9/11 and the days that followed, thousands of men and women, heroes all, did great things.”

~Bill Bratton, former NYPD Police Commissioner

“As the 20th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, we need to be reminded about the people involved and their heartfelt stories. No book does that better and with more compassion than 9/11 Remembered: Twenty Years Later. These tales must be told―again and again.”

~Tom Clavin, New York Times Best Selling author of Dodge City and Blood and Treasure

“When you read 9/11 Remembered, you will never forget it. The actions of those courageous men and women, some who survived, others who did not, will stay in your memory forever. A truly inspiring book.”

~New York Times Best Selling Author Vincent Lardo (Archie McNally Series)


“This is the real stuff, seen through the eyes of those who were there. Graphic and remarkable recollections of the horrors of our worst national nightmare. Witness the courage, valor, and humanity of those first responders, some who lost their lives that day, and others who became indelibly marked with a cruel death sentence.”

~John Mackie, retired NYPD. Author of Manhattan South

“In 9/11 Remembered: Twenty Years Later, Bob Martin has crafted a brilliant remembrance of one of our nation’s darkest hours, the heroes who fell that day, and the ones who endured―at least temporarily. His book serves as a testament to heroism and a lament for the heroes who are confronted with an ungrateful society that has either forgotten them or worse, vilifies them. This book is a must-read--for every American.”

~Detective first-grade Michael O’Keefe, NYPD retired, and the author of Shot to Pieces, a novel.

Hi,
I have an upcoming '80s inspired vigilante crime thriller called Blind Cerulean that needs some reviews. I have free ARCs available at Booksprout and Book Sirens.

Here's the pitch:

On the hellish streets of Acadia, salvation comes in the form of an angel. One who doesn't care much about collateral damage.

Alley is a fifteen-year-old girl with a genius IQ, a self-medicating mother, and an unusual obsession with a 1980s movie star. Alley's never truly questioned why her unemployed mother is wealthy enough to afford a luxury apartment. She's more concerned with collecting '80s memorabilia.

Alley's life changes when a mystery figure known as Coach approaches her out of the blue. He tells her she has a destiny; that the crime-ridden, drug-infested city she lives in needs a savior. And Coach -- a cranky, plainspoken mentor with no tolerance for any slacking -- will train her, make certain she lives up to her true potential.

The girl begins an unlikely career as a vigilante. She runs afoul of local crimelord The Swine, and the mystery figure pulling the gangster's strings. But the true power behind The Swine finds himself drawn to Alley, and as the girl is shocked to learn, is the man who can provide answers to questions she'd never thought to ask. The revelations just might shatter the girl.


I'd love to hear your reviews...

Love & Loss in the Time of Covid

Phil Dourado

Hello

Looking for reviewers for my new book Love & Loss in the Time of Covid. , a novel based on real life events: part grief memoir, part Covid chronicle.

It's not as miserable as it sounds. Honest :) . There's a lot of humour in it, too.

It is hopefully of particular interest to anyone who has loved and lost someone, as the central character is trying to navigate his way through grief (in the middle of Covid) after losing three loved people in swift succession.

Hopefully, there are some useful things in the book for those who have experienced grief. Or know someone who has and want a deeper understanding of that.

As far as I know, it's the first novel written and published 'in real time' during the time of Covid; the real events depicted in it were happening as it was written.

Let me know if you'd like a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks.

Phil Dourado

Hi guys,

I'm looking for reviews for my book of short crime stories, Old Wounds: A Nick Shelby Case and Other Crime Stories.

A collection of 15 short crime stories from dark detective noir to domestic murder, crossing time periods as far back as the Victorian era and into the near future. Some with a twist of horror, science fiction or the supernatural. Each story revolves around intriguing characters with twists and turns and on occasion a sting in the tail.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Let me know if you're interested.

Tom :)

This is the premise, which I hope to tantalize you with. For my novel, I researched a multitude of destructive computer viruses, believing I’d create an imaginary one. To my heart-throbbing amazement, this lethal virus had already been developed by international hackers. I was now convinced, along with Internet security experts, an Internet Apocalypse is inevitable.

You’re at work, in school, out shopping, trapped in an elevator, or sky-high on an
amusement park ride when t power and lights suddenly go out. For a moment, you’re just annoyed, expecting only a momentary problem. Doesn’t happen! Along with the power outage, all means of communication have been severed. The Internet is down and a terrorist’s face gloats. Fear now creeps into your optimism. Hours later, with a world overly dependent on cyberspace, global economies begin to crumble from this irrevocable cyberattack. Totally freaked out, you’ve now become a prisoner of inertia—clueless about how to deal with anarchy, cruelty, and violence. Annie Oakley Frye is a Cyber Warfare Specialist accepted cyberspace had become a cesspool of evil. Annie does not live in a dystopian, fantasy world like Katniss Everdeen, Beatrice Prior, and Lara Croft—she lives among us. Once she discovers this invisible menace is lurking in a million businesses and government agency networks, and it can’t be stopped from obliterating world economies, she sheds her mild-mannered personality and becomes the lioness of her youth to survive. Out of kindness she warns her friends about this approaching cyber nightmare, but they scoff at her insider information and doomsday scenario, believing the government won't let it happen. Once the cyber nightmare launches a surprise arrives at her door!

Time Of The Lioness: Internet Apocalypse

Back then, I was trapped in a stuck elevator for almost an hour. I was not happy, and I hope to never be stuck again. A little claustrophobic.

Look forward to reading your book.

Hi Tom.
Would you be interested in a swap? I have written a short crime story that sits on the cusp of thriller/action/mystery/light erotica but not quite.

I don't support positive for positive reviews, so you can be as harsh as you like without jeopardizing your own review.
If so, add me as a friend and we can chat that way (if I post my email addy I'll get inundated with sales stuff).

New city. New vibrator. New serial killer.
What could possibly go wrong?

This is the premise for the upcoming short crime story (being released 30-Nov-2021), for which I'm currently looking for beta-readers. Only 7K words, it sits on the cusp of action/thriller/mystery/light erotica but is not fully any of those.

Please let me know if you're interested - noting that you can find the full blurb on the Goodreads page for You & I .

My newest novel in the Tess Alexander Mystery series, A Cruel Oblivion is available for pre-order now on Amazon, and will be published November 10...but I'd also love reviews of the first book in the series, A Just Reckoning

.

The series follows award-winning investigative journalist Tess Alexander, who frequently finds herself in dangerous and sometimes deadly situations in her quest to confront and expose human corruption, fraud, and brutality.

Her motivation is the murder of her sister Kathleen at the hands of her husband, after decades of spiraling domestic violence that no one recognized until it was too late. The ever-present reminder of her sister’s brutal, solitary journey is what propels Tess time and time again to hurl a journalistic flare into the dark caverns of injustice. It is the only way she sees to atone for Kathleen’s death, and her own blindness.

In A Just Reckoning, Tess meets a young woman who was kidnapped as a child from the Black Sea coast of Crimea and sold to an international sex trafficking ring. Tess is so disturbed by the story that she resolves to find the ringleaders and bring them to justice.

In the process, she almost pays with her life.

Heya MC&T peeps,

Just a new author, looking for a few honest reviews from people who enjoy their crime novels with a tinge of noir and a dash of the supernatural.



Monochrome Noir is a noir-ish detective story, set in an alternate version of 1986 Los Angeles. The synopsis goes a little something like...

Monochrome Noir: Part 1 - A Gathering Storm

A down-on-his-luck private investigator who loves whiskey as much as he loves solving cases. An outcast medical technician with a heavy heart and an unnatural ability. A brutal killer with a mysterious agenda.

Welcome to Monochrome Noir, a detective story set in an alternate version of 1986 Los Angeles. It is a grayscale world, where items of color are the rarest of commodities, owned by few and coveted by many.

When California’s most influential woman seeks out his services, weaving a tale of serial murder with bizarre implications, she embroils P.I. Henry Hardcastle in the strangest case of his career. Meanwhile, Charlie Grant, a young woman coping with a recent tragedy, finds herself drawn to a dark and mysterious omen. Though they are strangers, both find themselves following clues that could lead them directly into the path of a deranged killer.

I'm more than happy to send some Kindle copies to a few folks in exchange for an honest GR review. If that synopsis sounds like your cup of tea (or coffee, beer, or whiskey...no judgements here) then please message me and let me know!

Ps, as a heads up, I write without quote marks. Why you might ask? Why not! It may seem odd at first, but think of it as an audiobook. Let the voices sing and talk in your head. The characters will let you know what and when they mean. Thanks!

Hi everyone, It's been a while since anyone posted here but I'm interested in sharing reviews, ie. I provide you with a mystery to read for review and you do likewise (pdf or mobi). I'm looking to discover news mystery writers and get my work out there too. Have a look at my profile to see if you're interested: https://www.goodreads.com/camerontrost

Hi everyone,

I'm an established nonfiction author, and I just published my first novel.

A Most Private Bank is a murder mystery, a noir thriller set in the world that I know best. The superficial world of international high finance, a world where nothing is what it seems and everyone keeps secrets for one or another reason.

Taking place over a single week in the financial center of Zurich, it follows an American expat financier as his world falls apart after what should have been a courtesy meeting with the socialite daughter of a former client.

A Most Private Bank will take you on a tour through my world. A place that may seem absurd to outsiders, a place few are ever invited to visit.

I'm very eager, and somewhat nervous, to see how the Goodreads community will receive my book. If you pick up a copy, please leave a review and let me know what you think of it.

Stalkers explores what might happen when two people looking to escape their pasts move in across the hall from each other, and their stalkers meet and team up.

Chloe Atwell, from rural Appalachia, moves to Chattanooga for a job that actually puts her master’s degree to use, but along the way her secrets begin to catch up to her.

∞ ∞ ∞

Dorian Black just starred in his first major motion picture and then quit acting altogether. He moved away from Atlanta to escape more than just his stalker. Now, he and Chloe are up for the same job, and neither of them know that their every move is being watched.

This is my first suspense/thriller, but I hope to finish writing another this year. With this one, I wanted to subvert the stereotypical rom-com stalker-protagonist trope, where stalking is portrayed as light-hearted and innocent, and show stalking for what it really is, dangerous, narcissistic behavior. —M

Hi to all. Just published my fourth novel - Grumpy Old Man.
Available in Ebook or paperback at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PFDL64L

A 50 book giveaway is scheduled.

Thanks!
Tom Lyons

Book info:

Grumpy Old Man is a satire on present day life in SF East Bay Area. (Think Carl Hiassen writing about California)

When seventy-five-year-old multi-millionaire land owner Ramsay Marshall turns up dead in Lake Tahoe, his daughter Sophia suspects foul play. Sophia contacts Palmer Doyle. Palmer is a recently widowed, disabled Afghan War vet turned private investigator. He is hoping to retire soon, get out of the rat race, move to the mountains, when Sophia and her cancer-stricken father-in-law, show up at his office and ask him to investigate the death.

Sophia and Palmer have history together. Fifteen years ago, when Master Sergeant Palmer Doyle is seriously injured in a bomb explosion, Sophia is part of the U.S. Army medical team that nurses him back to health. At the time they were both married, but both are single now.

With his oddball staff of investigators, who have their own phobias, personal quirks, and agendas, Palmer sets out to uncover what really happened. Did the old rich guy die of natural causes? Or was foul play involved?

Set in the East Bay of San Francisco Bay area, Doyle, an old school guy, must navigate the crazy, non-sensical, often hilarious happenings, that occur in modern day life in California.

But people in the novel are not who they appear to be; plot twists keep the reader guessing until the final pages. And, what happened to one family decades ago, during World War 2, may hold the answer as to why certain injustices can never be forgotten, or forgiven, and that exacting revenge is often the best remedy.

This is Grumpy Old Man, a psychological thriller, a murder mystery, a love story, and a satire on the craziness of present-day pandemic life in the SF East Bay Area of California.

Hi reader,

I wanted to introduce myself and my latest mystery thriller novel released January 2022! My name is Matt Orlando and my book Migrant.

Many, many... many years ago I graduated from Salinas High School. In the past five years, I was called to write a murder mystery set in Salinas, CA, which at one point held the title "Homicide Capital of California" and/or "Youth Homicide Capital of the Country". If you’re interested in why I chose this topic, I wrote a blog on my website, mattorlandobooks.com

As a self-published author, releasing a book is satisfying, but also challenging and stressful. I’m putting this out there in hopes to get more readers and more reviews.

MIGRANT is about a Hispanic Police Detective who must find a killer in one of the highest per-capita murder cities in the United States.

If you want a book of Murder, Migrants, and Gangs in Salinas Valley, check out my latest, "MIGRANT".

FULL SUMMARY:
Salinas police detective Mike Garcia is tasked with investigating the murder of a gang member found in the lettuce field of a rich grandfather he had never met. Having been a beat cop in 2009 when Salinas was known as the Youth Murder Capital of California, he knew what sort of retaliation was coming from the clashing gang members that had never stopped the killing. There would be blood on the streets and fear in the community that still hadn’t recovered from the nightly murders. With little evidence and a frightened community, Mike struggles to follow minuscule leads. Then, in a shootout with members of the opposing gang who are backed by one of the most feared Mexican criminal organizations in the country, Mike unintentionally brings the darkness he desperately tried to hide from his family, right to their doorstep. Now, he must not only catch his prime suspect, but he must also survive him.

Hi, my name is nkr, and I've written two Psychological Dramas, titled Just One More Day, and Claims, both exploring the repercussions from trauma. How does one change mentally, emotionally, socially, and/or behaviorally, when a catalyst is thrown in the picture, and how can that affect the reader? I respond to books that have the personality of the characters exhibited through the narration, and I would hope that that makes my books an interesting reading experience for you, as well. Just One More Day is a story about a lesbian struggling with both college and her ridiculously perfect, frustratingly difficult dream girl, and Claims is about how a love triangle proceeds after sex has been added in to the equation. There is a trigger warning with the latter for violence and abuse of various sorts, as I needed to work through some things, and this book proved to be cathartic. Can I interest you in either or both for review? I have .mobi, EPUB, and physical copies.

I would love to hear from you; please email me at [email protected].

Hiya folks,

I hope you're all OK! I'm looking for reviewers of the second book in my Armitage Black series, Damned Curious, which follows on from the first book (Death By Curiosity) but can be read as a standalone. I've popped the blurb so you can see if this is of interest to you:

Everyone has their demons.

But most people don’t claim that theirs are actual demons.

So when local newsreader Dave Richmond is found murdered, and it’s claimed that a bona fide demon is to blame, local Police Typist Armitage Black finds her curiosity well and truly piqued.
After meeting the ungrieving widow, and despite the best efforts of Cattringham County’s hottest Detective to keep her out of the investigation, Armitage becomes obsessed with finding out what happened to Richmond and getting to the bottom of ‘Peggy’, the demon that his family seem to have adopted.
But as the case progresses and another body turns up, Armitage finds herself well and truly caught in Peggy’s web – one so carefully crafted, there might not be a way out of it...

Please could you drop me a line if you're interested? :)

Thanks in advance,

Lisa.

My book Zero Zero has just been published and is free on Amazon Unlimited. Hardcovers and Trade Paper are up on Amazon and soon elsewhere. It has a gorgeous cover - very happy about that... wish it would show up here.

And you have to check out the cool webpage Spin Shift have put together - it moves. www.shft.hk/zerozerogr

Message me if you are interested in reviewing. Here's the blurb: -

During the late 1980s, in the dying years of the Cold War, Lance McAuley dives oil rigs off the coast of West Africa for a living. When during one dive he uncovers a Second World War enigma machine on a French Submarine events are set in motion that threaten to upend his life and the safety of all he loves.

As the secrets of the Nazi agents and a hidden cargo entangle him in a web of intrigue he races from New Zealand to West Africa and Paris to find the answers. At each step he finds it more impossible to return to the quiet life he craves.

When Lance is introduced to an elegant older woman she changes his life, and challenges his preconceptions of romance. But he is torn by the memory of a younger woman, and his fear of commitment that has stalked him all his life threatens to break hearts once more. When learning that it is betrayal and lies that cut deepest, he seeks out to find where his loyalties truly lie, with family.

In a non-stop thriller Lance and his nephew Jamie enter a world of desperate treasure hunters and ruthless smugglers, World War 2 French resistance aviators, and Vichy regime submariners, set to the soundtrack of the 1980s.

Is it all worth the risk? Or is there truly no way out for Lance and his family?

The story weaves together real history and speculation as the characters travel the world getting to grips with the mystery. It was fun to write - and early reviews say it is an intriguing read.

Girls, Crimes, and the Ruling Body


This book was a finalist in the National Indie Excellence Award for Political Thriller

Hopscotch
I have written a story about a time-traveling serial killer. There is blood as some of the killings happen on the page.

Also, a trigger warning: he has his way with them and genetically recreates the same woman every generation for his pleasure.

The reviews I have received so far said it is 'Sick and twisted.' With the main character time-traveling, the storyline is not linear. It jumps around like a game of hopscotch.

I mistakenly wrote over the master file and uploaded a draft instead. In doing so, I've received several bad reviews on grammar and poor writing. After a marathon session with Grammarly and ProWritingAid, it's polished up, but the reviews still stand.

I'm looking for readers interested in an ARC of my latest thriller in digital format. If you would be willing to read Crimson Waters and provide feedback before it releases that would be much appreciated. Please message me if interested.

Here is the synopsis:

"When an important assignment pulls James Luna back to his childhood hometown of Alpine Ridge, a place he vowed never to return after that ill-fated summer when he tragically lost his younger brother, he finds himself thrown into a situation beyond his wildest dreams.

Faced with dreadful odds, James must balance the weight of returning to a shattered family, a new romance, and keep those he loves alive when an ancient and impossible threat appears to be responsible for a succession of deaths around the picturesque vacation destination of Lake Trinity in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. With tensions mounting for those who rely on the lake for their livelihood, the danger continues, and the death count grows.

​​​​​​​Will James be able to solve the mystery and put an end to the threat or will the nightmare continue?"

Looking for book reviews for my anthology of poems. Feel free to reply for more details! Thanks.

I just published four crime novels, including one for Young Adults. My site featuring them is: https://allauthor.com/author/wolfman141/
I'm in need of reviews! Here are the titles with brief descriptions and links to their Amazon pages. Appointment in Mordora--a convoluted tale of murder, twisted love, simmering hate, a botched abduction, and a cop who falls in love with the mom of the abducted boy, only to realize that revealing the identity of the man behind it all would destroy her. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B...
Voices in the Night--a deeply wounded individual listens in on mobile phone calls, back when that was a new thing. He takes notes for an intended book. But some of his subjects are dying. Soon the cops turn their attention to him. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B...
A Murder Foretold--a dark and twisted tale in which a serial killer for profit is required to look into the murder of his next intended victim to see if her death indicates someone is after him for his previous kills. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B...
The Killer in the Mirror-- a mystery, a love story, an exploration of identity and a journey into a past filled with pain and heartbreak that culminates in a murder trial that could sentence this boy who has found love to life in prison--or to his death. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B...

I've put out one novel and two short stories so far (one of them is probably technically a novella or novelette).

Two of them are about a private eye named Angelo Bronzino. He's a police academy dropout turned bail agent turned private investigator.

A Wolf in Sheik's Clothing

Hi. My thriller came out last month on Amazon, B&N and Kobo. Of course I'm looking for reviews! I can arrange for a physical copy in return for a review, or alternatively a PDF if you contact me. This is a contemporary thriller set in England.

Blurb:
It begins with the torture of a covert agent and quickly turns into something much more deadly - a radioactive cloud over London.
ISIS terrorists have set their sights on the capital of England and will not stop until their plan is carried out or until every last one of them is dead. Detective Strange and his team are determined to make sure it's the second one.
But things get complicated when the evil Sheik Maulan captures Strange's girlfriend. Can he save her? Can he protect his team from the terrorists, who are intent on inflicting as much damage as possible? Can he stop the Sheik from destroying London?

I'm looking for ARC reviewers for my upcoming novel EFFICIENT AND DIVINE. It's a New Adult mystery/thriller with a heavy noir influence. Word count is just under 90k and I can send any format you need. Please DM me for a review copy. Here's the blurb:

Is there a demon hiding inside Mason Mackay? The world sees only a witty, handsome filmmaker. But one interview subject brings out something dark, something truly unspeakable, buried deep in Mason’s subconscious. Within hours, the interview subject is dead. The evidence points to Mason—and he can’t honestly say the police are wrong.

Forced to face the secrets of his past, Mason finds himself at odds with a retired FBI agent with cryptic motives. Meanwhile, a mysterious family is offering Mason not only answers, but acceptance of even his darkest urges. What lies buried within Mason must be exposed…for good or ill.

Would be pleased to have members beta-read/review my soon-to-be-released 'cozy legal mystery' "The Final Steps—A Harbor Springs Cozy Legal Mystery." Please email me at [email protected]. Thanks, Mark

Hi, I've just recently released my historical cozy murder mystery comedy, 'Lavender and Brown - The York Mysteries'. The story is set in York in 1888 and resolves around the main character James Lavender who is extremely challenging to get along with!

If you are in the Amazon Unlimited subscription it's free to read. I would love to get some readers and reviews!

You can read an extract from the first chapter on my website to see if it's something of interest to you.

Thanks.

SADISTIC MURDERERS GIVE KINKY SEX A BAD NAME

Diana Fanning, aka the Professor, runs The Academy, the only genuine BDSM bar in Bangkok. She's the first person police colonel Apichat Weeranwongsakul consults when a bar girl turns up brutally murdered, tightly bound, with clamped nipples and every orifice stuffed with sex toys. The colonel figures the killer might be one of her customers. But he has his own secrets. He needs Diana to satisfy his shameful dreams of being beaten and abused. Meanwhile, a mysterious American named Sam stalks Nok, the lovely natural dominant who is the Professor's star performer. Nok is used to being the one in charge. She can't understand why she craves the discipline Sam administers.

As more women are slaughtered, always in kinky circumstances, the Professor finds herself in an exclusive world catering to the perversions of Bangkok's wealthy and well-connected. Simultaneously looking for evidence and satisfying her own lusts, she doesn't realize until too late that the power she's used to wielding won't save her from becoming the serial murderer's next victim.

Ten perfect mystery stories chosen by three judges and edited by Barb Goffman, herself an award-winning short story author.
As recommended by thriller author Joseph Finder. Otto Penzerl picked one short story from last year's anthology for his anthology of best mystery stories.
From the foreword by short story notable John M. Floyd: "May you have as much fun with these ten tales of murder and deception as I did, and may you remember them long afterward. As Carl Sandberg said, "Texas is a blend of valor and swagger." So are these stories. Read them and enjoy."

Not available till next week
