Review & Description

Nathaniel O'Connell thought he knew what it takes to survive at Southwest High School, a low-income, ethnically diverse, inner-city school. After seven years of teaching, he thought he had discovered how to get through to these children of poverty.

After a confrontation on the first day of school, O'Connell finds himself fighting for his reputation, his job, his family, and his very survival. With his wife, Alexandria, O'Connell must battle the school system, the justice system, and his own weakness, as he seeks redemption. Faced with investigations by the school's administration, the Department of Family Services, and the District Attorney's Office, he must find the strength and the courage to reach out to these same students to save his very soul.

Review & Description

Sean Reilly and Tess Chaykin, heroes of Raymond Khoury's bestselling Templar thrillers, return in an edge-of-your-seat story that reaches from the present day back to 1800s Mexico-and possibly beyond.

What if there was an herb, previously lost to history in the jungles of Central America, capable of inducing an experience so momentous it might shake the very foundations of Western civilization?

What if powerful forces on both sides of the law got wind of that herb, and launched a violent, uncompromising pursuit to be the first to exploit it?

And what if FBI agent Sean Reilly and his girlfriend, Tess Chaykin, were, unknowingly, the only two people who could keep the lid on this existential Pandora's box, one that's capable of destabilizing the world?

In Raymond Khoury's million-copy-selling Templar novels, Sean and Tess traveled the globe to unravel ancient mysteries with present-day ramifications. In The Devil's Elixir, Sean and Tess find themselves in a race-against the clock, against drug kingpins, and even against the DEA-to merge two divergent trails, one several hundred years old, the other as current as a heartbeat, which together may lead humanity to the brink of annihilation.

Packed with the nonstop suspense and unexpected twists Raymond Khoury's fans delight in, The Devil's Elixir is destined for bestseller lists everywhere.

Review & Description

Following a major fundraising event for the Butterfly Foundation, formed by Special Agents Ellie Conway and Mac Connelly, to offer sanctuary and support to the children of mentally ill parents, Ellie is sent to the first of many horrific crime scenes. Now a Supervising Special Agent, Ellie is confronted with identifying the connection between the victims. Events and puzzling clues which include bourbon, chlorine and gold ribbons, draw Ellie into a maze which includes a serial killer, Eastern European terrorists with military connections and conceivably, the Pentagon. Women are being murdered, children are missing and the trail is bizarre. After a phone call purporting to offer information, Ellie puts her life in jeopardy, walks into a trap and is assaulted and severely stabbed. With her psycho-prophetic talents, Ellie anticipates and protects future victims and deciphers the underlying reason for the murders. Bypassing her boss, Special Agent in Charge Caine Grafton, Ellie pulls in a favour from the highest level in order to close borders, airports, train stations in an attempt to trap Hudson Hawk, believed to be responsible for these and similar crimes in Europe. The denouement leaves Ellie facing a terrible reality and a grievous loss. Read more

Review & Description

Captain America leads the fight for freedom in the action-packed blockbuster starring Chris Evans as the ultimate weapon against evil! When a terrifying force threatens everyone across the globe, the world’s greatest soldier wages war on the evil HYDRA organization, led by the villainous Red Skull (Hugo Weaving, The Matrix). Critics and audiences alike salute Captain America: The First Avenger as “pure excitement, pure action, and pure fun!” – Bryan Erdy CBS-TVThe Marvel Comics superhero Captain America was born of World War II, so if you're going to do the origin story in a movie you'd better set it in the 1940s. But how, then, to reconcile that hero with the 21st-century mega-blockbuster The Avengers, a 2012 summit meeting of the Marvel giants, where Captain America joins Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk and other super pals? Stick around, and we'll get to that. In 1943, a sawed-off (but gung-ho) military reject named Steve Rogers is enlisted in a super-secret experiment masterminded by adorable scientist Stanley Tucci and skeptical military bigwig Tommy Lee Jones. Rogers emerges, taller and sporting greatly expanded pectoral muscles, along with a keen ability to bounce back from injury. In both sections Rogers is played by Chris Evans, whose sly humor makes him a good choice for the otherwise stalwart Cap. (Benjamin Button-esque effects create the shrinky Rogers, with Evans's head attached.) The film comes up with a viable explanation for the red-white-and-blue suit 'n' shield--Rogers is initially trotted out as a war bonds fundraiser, in costume--and a rousing first combat mission for our hero, who finally gets fed up with being a poster boy. Director Joe Johnston (The Wolfman) makes a lot of pretty pictures along the way, although the war action goes generic for a while and the climax feels a little rushed. Kudos to Hugo Weaving, who makes his Nazi villain a grand adversary (with, if the ear doesn't lie, an imitation of Werner Herzog's accent). If most of the movie is enjoyable, the final 15 minutes or so reveals a curious weakness in the overall design: because Captain America needs to pop up in The Avengers, the resolution of the 1943 story line must include a bridge to the 21st century, which makes for some tortured (and unsatisfying) plot developments. Nevertheless: that shield is really cool. --Robert Horton Read more

Review & Description

Hawk is hunting again. SSA Conway is his nemesis - she wants justice and is determined he should keep his appointment with the electric chair. He has taken too many children and killed too many people. And it's all about the music. FBI Agent, SSA Ellie Conway, has decided it is time to step up and apprehend Hawk, not only to stop the abduction of vulnerable children, but to avenge the murder of FBI Agent Mac Connelly. Her pursuit involves Russia and takes the team to New Zealand, where Hawk has widened his net and increased his activity. As the Delta A track him and investigate the disappearance of more children, a far more sinister reality emerges, which demands the might of the Military, CIA, NCIS and the Russian FSB. Exploiting her quirky intuition, together with help from surprising sources, Ellie comes to understand why 'it's all about the music.' Read more

Review & Description

It’s the mid twenty-first cen­tury in an alternate-future Eng­land. The coun­try is still recovering from a Pan-Atlantic war, when King Alexander begins another against North America. Crime is ram­pant, the Royal Court of Europe is look­ing at the Island Nation with sus­pi­cious eyes, and a powerful intelligence gatherer called Nightingale Telecommunications just fired a man that may know more than he should — knowl­edge that could desta­bi­lize the coun­try, or unite its cit­i­zens in a new future. Every­thing is on the line.

May is a pros­ti­tute, a woman of the old­est pro­fes­sion. She knows the streets of Trin­ity Cor­ners, but little beyond. How is she con­nected, why is she con­nected? Few know, but until she finds the answers she's forced to look for, she has to survive long enough to ask the people who know. Depend­ing on an assassin she just met to keep her safe, whilst a sec­ond attempts to ful­fill a contract on her life, the two must reach the endgame before Eng­land — and the world — starts a brand new war.It’s the mid twenty-first cen­tury in an alternate-future Eng­land.

Review & Description

Excerpt from Jersey Heat by Joseph D’Agnese

“I’m not saying I wouldn’t have done the same thing,” he said. “Guy pisses you off, you want to hurt him. That’s common sense. I wouldn’t have done it now. Now is not a good time.”
“I feel bad about it,” she confessed.
“Feel bad? Feel bad? Answer me this. Did he hurt you?”
She bit her bottom lip, considered it. “Yeah. He did. He was hurting me.”
Mulcek smiled, something he rarely did. His teeth gleamed against the blackness. He stepped closer to her. She could feel his breath in her face, the sweat rising off his skin.
“How did it feel,” he whispered, “when you took the power back? How’d you feel when you hurt him?”
Her mind flashed an image: Her victim’s lips blowing blood bubbles…Horror etched upon his face…
She didn’t have to think.
“It felt great,” she said.

***

It’s a hazy, hot, and humid summer in New Jersey, circa 1993.

No mobile phones.

No Internet.

No Caller ID.

No DVDs.

No terrorists.

And the environment isn’t cool.

Luke Mulcek calls himself a businessman. He’s actually a thug in a suit, a former Brooklyn kid, ex-boxer, and mechanic who made good. Luke’s got an in at the water company in a piece of shit town, where he’s concocted a $200 million land deal to build condos on the reservoir. Ramming the plan through the town’s planning board is the tricky part. Shadow Lakes isn’t Brooklyn, and even before page one Mulcek has decided to cut through the red tape the way he would have done in the old neighborhood.

With payoffs, threats, blackmail — and murder.

A retired cop and a young slacker are all that stand between Mulck and his violent grasp at the good life.

Mulcek’s undoing — and the key to this environmental thriller — is a creature from the skies, bred by nature to be the ultimate killing machine.

The strength of this book lies in its voices: Cops, thugs, Brits, gigolos, ghetto kids, scientists and lawyers all come to life in a world that feels part Elmore Leonard, part Carl Hiassen, and 100 percent New Jersey.

Solving this investigation would cost him the ultimate sacrifice!

“An action packed mystery… you find yourself enveloped in the case and the characters”

“Keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time you are reading!!”

Tasked with finding the ominous man who committed the murders, Gabriel Celtic soon discovers that the mastermind of the killings is...a woman!


The sleepy little county in southeast Indiana is suddenly awakened by a series of murders, leaving local law enforcement unsure where to turn. Seeming like professional hits, the victims are nonetheless normal every day people, with no ties to each other or anything criminal. Of the scant clues left at the scenes, there is one that kept showing up, a business card identifying their perp only as the 'GHOST'.

Gabriel Celtic and the other members of the Major Crimes Taskforce have been tasked with finding the ominous man, but soon discover that they will be thwarted at every turn. The revelation of another's involvement also involved in the murders, the mastermind of the killings, sends the investigation yet again into turmoil as this person easily eludes their efforts to identify and locate...her, a woman!

As the murders continue, it also becomes apparent that Jasmine, the beautiful blonde mastermind, has it out for the County Sheriff's Department, implicating its involvement with each new body found.

Having never been involved in such a bizarre series of crimes, Gabriel soon learns that solving the investigation would cost one of his own the ultimate sacrifice.

Review & Description

From the high peaks of the Nepal Himalayas Western signals intelligence equipment spies deep into Tibet, probing the Chinese ballistic missile testing program and monitoring its rapid military build-up. Now key equipment has been destroyed and there seems to be a Swiss financial connection. A fully deniable 'black operation' is launched, and the British deploy their ace in the hole - an MI6-controlled hedge fund called Pelagic Holdings. Fred Morton-Harvey and Anthony Barrington are tasked to investigate. On the surface they are respectable financiers, in reality both are skilled intelligence operatives. Fred Morton-Harvey is just back from a mission in Hong Kong that went wrong; could there be a connection?
One man becomes the unknowing bait in a Chinese plan to strike a devastating and totally unexpected blow against Western vital interests. That same man is the only person who can stop it. Death stalks him wherever he goes, in the form of a renegade psychopath from Serbian intelligence. From a surprise encounter in the boardroom of a Geneva private bank to a desperate shoot out on the vertiginous ice walls of a Himalayan peak, unfolds a story of love, courage and betrayal, against seemingly impossible odds.From the high peaks of the Nepal Himalayas Western signals intelligence equipment spies deep into Tibet, probing the Chinese ballistic missile testing program and monitoring its rapid military build-up.

Review & Description

Oscar® winner Russell Crowe stars as the legendary figure known by generations as Robin Hood, whose exploits have endured through out popular mythology. In 13th century England, Robin and his band of marauders lead an uprising against the crown that will forever alter the balance of world
power. And whether thief or hero, one man from humble beginnings will become an eternal symbol of freedom for his people. Robin Hood chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richard’s army. Upon Richard’s death, Robin travels to
Nottingham, a town suffering from a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation, where he falls for the spirited widow Lady Marion (Oscar® winner Cate Blanchett), a woman skeptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest.
Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marion and salvage the village, Robin assembles a gang whose lethal mercenary skills are matched only by its appetite for life. Together, they begin preying on the indulgent upper class to correct injustices under the sheriff. With their country weakened from decades of war, embattled from the ineffective rule of the new king, and vulnerable to insurgencies from within and threats from afar, Robin and his men heed a call to ever greater adventure. This unlikeliest of heroes and his allies set off to protect their country from slipping into bloody civil war and return glory to England once more.Oscar® winner Russell Crowe stars as the legendary figure known by generations as Robin Hood, whose exploits have endured through out popular mythology.

Review & Description

For fans of Stephen King, Blake Crouch, and Michael Crichton comes a new, heart-pounding thriller by Brett Battles...

Daniel Ash wakes after midnight to the cry of his daughter. Just a bad dream, he thinks. She’s had them before. Yet he can’t help but worry when she cries out again as he pads down the hallway. Stepping through her doorway, he expects to find her sitting up in bed, frightened by a nightmare.

But the nightmare is his. It’s real. And it's just beginning...

Something is burning Ash's daughter alive. Something horrible that is spreading beyond the walls of their home, and taking no prisoners.

Thirty seconds later, Ash will discover his daughter isn’t the only one in his family infected, and as his world spins, coming apart at the seams, a team of armed men in biohazard suits bursts into his house.

But these aren’t the good guys.

They haven’t come to save Ash’s family. They’ve come to separate them, to finish what they started.

The problem is Ash refuses to disappear. He wants only one thing: to find those responsible.

Because humanity is on the brink of execution.

And man is pulling the trigger.


WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT SICK:

“Brett Battles is a master of the thriller genre. SICK not only grabs you by the throat, but by the heart and gut as well, and by the time you finish you feel as if you've just taken a runaway train through dangerous territory. Buy this book now. You won't regret it.”—Robert Browne, author of THE PARADISE PROPHECY.

“Like a fever, SICK makes you sweat and keeps you up all night, wondering what the hell is happening. It'll make your heart race like someone shot you with an EpiPen. You think Battles was badass before? He just cranked it up to 500 joules. CLEAR!”—popculturenerd.com

“SICK is Brett Battles at his best (which is saying a great deal), a thriller that also chills, with a secret at its core that's almost too scary to be contained within the covers of a book. As always, Battles juggles plot lines with the best of them, and his characters jump off the page. SICK deserves to be a best-seller.”—Tim Hallinan, author of the Edgar nominated THE QUEEN OF PATPONG

PRAISE FOR BRETT BATTLES’ JONATHAN QUINN SERIES:

“Brett Battles has established himself as one of today’s best thriller writers, right up there with Lee Child, Barry Eisler, and Thomas Perry.”—Deadly Pleasures magazine

“The best word I can use to describe his writing is addictive.”—James Rollins, author of the Sigma Force series

“Quinn is one part James Bond, one part Jason Bourne.”—Nashville Book Worm

“I’m on the edge of my seat, awaiting future installments of Quinn’s Adventures.”—Jeffery Deaver, author of the Lincoln Rhyme’s series

“Battles has a true gift for writing thrillers…”—Crimespree magazine

“The action is heart-pounding, gripping, and always engaging.”—Tucson Citizen

“Battles is a master storyteller.”—Sheldon Siegel, author of PERFECT ALIBI

Review & Description

Award-winning author Doranna Durgin has over 30 published novels (MMPB, trade, and hardcover) and another 19 short pieces. Now available from the author, HIDDEN STEEL is a re-released stand-alone book from the former Silhouette Bombshell line of action, suspense, and romance.

Steve Spaneas doesn't have a clue.

Who'd have thought that the woman who stumbles her way into his gym, looking and acting so very much like a street person off her meds, is really a CIA case officer whose memory has been obliterated by experimental drugs used by some very bad people?

And seriously, who'd have thought that her attempts to untangle the few clues she's got would lead him right into her world of spies and counterspies, death and deception--and holy cow, stockpiled nuclear weapons?

But Steve had better figure out who he trusts--his years of experience on the streets, or the heart of a gritty woman determined to reclaim herself--and he'd better figure it out fast. Because suddenly there's a body out behind the gym, surveillance teams lurking, and a series of unsavory goons following the trail of a woman temporarily named Mickey right through his life.

"HIDDEN STEEL is an engaging thriller that grips the audience from the moment [Mickey] wakes up and never slows down.... Mickey is terrific..."
--Harriet Klausner

"Another trademark Durgin, full of realism, deft strokes of humour (and pop culture), plenty of sizzle, compassion, action, and a heroine you not only believe, you want to be. Grab this one." --Julie Czerneda, Stratification series

"HIDDEN STEEL is a page-turner voyage of discovery, with the fate of the free world in the balance. Well-drawn characters, numerous plot twists, and unexpected glints of humor are what I've come to anticipate in any of Doranna's novels, and this one definitely lived up to expectation!"
--Michelle Shirey Crean, Dancer of the Sixth

"Readers who remember Ms. Durgin’s Bombshell releases will be thrilled with HIDDEN STEEL... a strong heroine, a great hero and a story that keeps you completely enthralled.... HIDDEN STEEL has mystery, action, a little romance and loads of great characters."
--Wendy Keel, Romance Readers Connection

"HIDDEN STEEL is a pulse-pounding suspense...Full of mystery and interesting characters, HIDDEN STEEL will grab readers from the beginning and is a book you don't want to miss."
--Jennifer Bishop, Romance Reviews Today

"...A fast-paced suspense...satisfyingly complex [plot]. Durgin balances action and romance deftly.... It's definitely an enjoyable read." --Sheila Connolly, the Orchard Mystery seriesAward-winning author Doranna Durgin has over 30 published novels (MMPB, trade, and hardcover) and another 19 short pieces.

Review & Description

This is written in the tradition of Connelly, Patterson of old, and JA Konrath.

Small-town detective/workaholic, Manny Williams is thrilled with the prospect of finally taking the long-awaited vacation he had promised his wife, Louise.

The couple’s exotic getaway begins in sunny San Juan, Puerto Rico, by attending the June wedding of a fellow Lansing police officer, followed with an incredible week-long Southern Caribbean cruise on the glamorous Ocean Duchess. Tropical paradise appears to be a perfect recipe for desperately needed R and R...until the first dead body.

A bizarre, seemingly random murder in their posh San Juan Hotel, and the heinous cruise ship deaths of two of Lansing’s law enforcement family, brings Manny, and his unique skills, out of cruise mode and head-long into the FBI-led investigation. Manny soon discovers that in this killer’s twisted perception nothing is off limits, prompting a race against time that could cost him everything.

If you like edge-of-your-seat thrillers laced with humor, you'll love this!
