In the Blood (A genealogical crime mystery) by Steve Robinson In the Blood (A genealogical crime mystery).


Family history was never supposed to be like this...

A dark genealogical secret locked in the past. A family historian trying to unlock it. Trouble is, someone else is looking for the same answers and they will stop at nothing to find them.

When American genealogist, Jefferson Tayte, accepted his latest assignment, he had no idea it might kill him. “I’m a family historian for Christ sakes!” But while murder was never part of the curriculum, Tayte is kidding himself if he thinks he can walk away from this one.

Driven by the all-consuming irony of being a genealogist who doesn’t even know who his own parents are, Tayte soon finds that the assignment shares a stark similarity to his own struggle. Someone has gone to great lengths to erase an entire family bloodline from recorded history and he’s not going home until he’s found out why. After all, if he’s not good enough to find this family, how can he ever expect to be good enough to someday find his own?

Set in Cornwall, England, past and present, Tayte's research centres around the tragic life of a young Cornish girl, a writing box, and the discovery of a dark family secret that he believes will lead him to the family he is looking for.

Marita Hansen (maritaahansen) | 3 comments Behind the Hood

I guess my book can also be classed as a thriller as it's very fast-paced, plus a HarperCollin's editor used this genre to describe it.

Description:

Life on the rough side of New Zealand. In this South Auckland neighbourhood where gang culture, drink, drugs, sex and violence is already a way of life; a vicious attack on a teenage girl sparks a ripple effect of revenge and fury. Live the carnage through multiple viewpoints as the tale unfolds to a bloody climax. Warning: NOT for the fainthearted.

Jack Wallen (jack_wallen) | 4 comments A Blade Away
A Blade Away by Jack Wallen

Killers and victims on the fringes of society are the focus of the ‘Fringe Killer’ series. “A Blade Away” kicks it off with a murderous transgendered twist.

"I am the last true artist.”

Jamie Davenport is a struggling young officer on the Louisville Police Force. In her first homicide case, Jamie must track down a twisted killer who preys upon transgendered men to bring about The Change and transform them into their “true selves”.

“I am da Vinci with flesh.”

However, even with the help of her friend and mentor, Skip Abrahm, she finds herself fighting a war on three fronts: a victimized population reluctant to cooperate, a police force unwilling to take the crimes seriously, and a killer that is always one step ahead.

“I am a god with your gender.”

Warning: Contains adult situations and material.

Jack Wallen (jack_wallen) | 4 comments Gothica
In the second book of the "Fringe Killer" series, Detective Davenport finds herself dealing with horror brought to life from the past. A killer is terrorizing the same building that held him prisoner - decades ago.

A killer from the past manages to escape the bonds of time and redefines "horror" for Jamie Davenport. In this new entry to the "fringe-killer" series, Gothica, Detective Davenport finds herself dealing with horror brought to life from the past. This time the killer is terrorizing the same building that held him prison - decades ago. The building now serves as a club for the darker denizens of Louisville...and a breeding ground for the emotions needed to bring evil back to Gothica.

Weaving elements of both the horror and the thriller genres together, Gothica tells the tale of the past and the present as they collide in the darkest recesses of a club built upon suffering and sorrow. Jamie Davenport and Skip Abrahm are tossed into a world of gothic delights and horror as another Fringe Killer is brought to life.

Debbie Bennett | 1 comments Hamelin's Child by D.J. Bennett

Michael Redford died on his seventeenth birthday – the night Eddie picked him up off the street, shot him full of heroin and assaulted him.

Now he’s Mikey and he works for Joss. With streaked blond hair and a cute smile, he sleeps by day and services clients at night. Sometimes he remembers his old life, but with what he’s become now, he knows there is no return to his comfortable middle-class background.

Then he makes a friend in Lee. A child of the streets, Lee demands more from friendship than Mikey is prepared to give. But the police are closing in on them now and Mikey’s not sure anymore who he really is – streetwise Mikey or plain Michael Redford.

A national-award-listed thriller set in the seedy world of London's drug rings, this book contains strong scenes and adult material.

Available in all e-reader formats from amazon or smashwords.

J.J. Toner (jjtoner) St Patrick's Day Special, the first Ben Jordan book is a thriller set in Dublin, Ireland.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

2004 Ireland is Tiger country. Aloysius Lafferty, one of Dublin’s biggest crime lords, specialises in armoured car heists, raids on post offices and “Tiger” kidnappings.

DI Ben Jordan of Dublin’s Organised Crime Unit has spent three years on Lafferty’s case when a lucky break uncovers the handgun used to kill one of Lafferty’s rivals. The trail leads Jordan to the low-life who pulled the trigger. To save his own skin, the shooter agrees to give evidence against Lafferty, and Jordan and his team hide him away in a country hotel.

But before the trial can start, the witness and his minder are shot, and the case against Lafferty collapses. Lafferty is released and goes on the offensive.

'JJ Toner's St Patrick's Day Special hits the ground running and doesn't let up. Gritty realism and social commentary combine in a wonderfully well written, hard hitting thriller.' Paul D Brazill

GODS

The world has come out of Global Depression a very different place. With startling power shifts on the world stage and game changing technology advances, warfare has matured into the Information Age and the Third Realm is the latest battleground.

The virtual game environment of Third Realm is a rich and deadly fantasy setting, where ultimate power rests with a competitive pantheon of player controlled gods. However, a shadowy cult with a mysterious agenda have begun to resort to real world violence to rip control from even the most powerful of gods.

Stephanie Kane is the newest recruit to the Information Warfare department of Omega Division; Europe's elite armed service. When the Elder God of the Third Realm is brutally murdered in real life, she is given the task of infiltrating the game to investigate.

The Third Realm and reality quickly collide and the edges between them begin to blur.

Who are the mysterious Order of Aurele? How do they exert so much power in the real world and why are they so determined to use their power to rule a virtual game world?

Events cause Stephanie to enlist the help of two young teenagers. Lara, a deadly assassin in the Third Realm, in reality a Dance student with her own secrets. James, an academy student with a bright future and a powerful Mage in the game, is enjoying the adventure of his life time, until his family come under threat.

Together they will face dangers in multiple realities and uncover a secret nations will kill for, a secret that could change the course of humanity itself.
From Special Forces raids, gun battles and airstrikes, to melee battles, magic duels and a struggle between Gods, Angels and humans...

Relevant, engaging and thought provoking, GODS is a must read.

The Jakarta Pandemic

"In the late fall of 2013, a lethal pandemic virus emerges from the Islamic Republic of Indonesia and rages unchecked across every continent. When the Jakarta Flu threatens his picture perfect Maine neighborhood, Alex Fletcher, Iraq War veteran, is ready to do whatever it takes to keep his family safe. As a seasoned sales representative for Biosphere Pharmaceuticals, makers of a leading flu virus treatment, Alex understands what a deadly pandemic means for all of them. He particularly knows that strict isolation is the only guaranteed way to protect his family from the new disease.

With his family and home prepared for an extended period of seclusion, Alex has few real concerns about the growing pandemic. But as the deadliest pandemic in human history ravages northern New England, and starts to unravel the fabric of their Maine neighborhood, he starts to realize that the flu itself is the least of his problems. A mounting scarcity of food and critical supplies turns most of the neighbors against him, and Alex is forced to confront their unexpected hostility before it goes too far. Just when he thinks it can’t get any worse, the very face of human evil arrives on Durham Rd. and threatens to destroy them all. Alex and his few remaining friends band together to protect the neighborhood from a threat far deadlier than the flu, as they edge closer to the inevitable confrontation that will test the limits of their humanity."

Philip Wulven (philwrite) | 1 comments Eland Dances
Peter Fitt uses a Soviet airplane in a development project, and the Russians use this opportunity to supply arms to both sides in the Rhodesia/Zimbabwe independence struggle. They intend to escalate the civil war so their cadres can climb into power. Shit rises to the top when stirred.
Pete instinctively dislikes the power-hungry men who see others as ego-food or enemies. In his family, with a memory of San beliefs, these are looked on as human predators, men possessed by lion spirits.
The eland opposes the selfish and destructive carnivores, the lions, and helps those who embrace the principle that the strong should defend others, not prey on them.
Healing power is found in dance, in trance, but courage, and love, are for each to find.

Patricia (patriciasierra) | 3 comments The Prettiest Feathers

What happens when a serial killer encounters a victim whose life is so drab she looks forward to dying? If the killer is John Wolf, he decides to bring Sarah Sinclair to life before killing her -- and that's his first mistake.

All the main characters in this suspense/thriller reveal the tale in alternating first-person narratives:

John, the crafty killer who's a master of disguise

Sarah, a bookstore clerk who's as colorless as her life

Robert, Sarah's drunken ex-husband who's also a homicide investigator

Lane, another homicide cop working the biggest case of her career

Lucas, a shrink who's also a profiler, pulled out of retirement to begin a tension-filled cat 'n mouse game with a killer who represents the flip-side of his own personality

No voice in these narratives is more chilling than John Wolf's, the suave but prolific murderer who signs his crimes by dropping one tantalizing clue: a feather. When reading his words, you'll know you have crawled inside the mind of a savage whose charming manner gives no hint of his bloody past or terrifying future.

The Meyersco Helix by Andrew McCoy
THE MEYERSCO HELIX
An extremely powerful novel of the biowar apocalypse, The Meyersco Helix traces the frighteningly plausible accidents by which the casual killing of a near-extinct mole escalates inexorably towards where an anguished President’s must choose either to let a self-propagating biowar substance to kill the world’s population — or to destroy a major American city by nuclear blast.

“Mr McCoy gets on with the job of telling us exactly what it is like in the Heart of Darkness. He has the soldier's eye for terrain and the soldier's eye for character. This has the ring of truth.”
— John Braine Sunday Telegraph

THE SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENTS

K116 is the top secret US chemical weapon that spells instant agonizing death to mankind. Self-generating in water, only a nuclear blast can stop the deadly dust expanding.

But when a lethal cloul of K116 escapes from a military research lab, one man survives. Charged with nightmare energy, Ribicoff becomes a walking carnage-machine.

Alive Ribicoff is a lethal liability — but dead his K116-glutted body will unleash chemical slaughter on a scale that will make the Black Death look like a summer cold.

Pursued by the massed might of US security forces, Ribicoff acts with the desperate, ruthless bloodlust of an animal at bay — until they corner him in Boston. Where his fiancé, the biochemist Stella Christopher, certain that he will come to her, is desperately working on a cure, despite the agents of her own government trying to kill her.

But will an American President act with equal ruthlessness? There is only one way to cauterize the city of America’s Founding Fathers.

It will be no tea party...

Philip Chen (philipchen) | 2 comments Thank you for this opportunity to post about my cross-genre science fiction thriller. I hope that is is OK to post about it here and in the Science Fiction list.

Please consider checking out my novel: Falling Star

ONLY ONE MAN CAN SAVE THE PLANET; SMALL PROBLEM HE JUST DIED.

A very realistic science fiction thriller about the accidental discovery of mysterious, but mute, objects in the ocean in 1967 and what happened when they woke up in 1993 and began sending signals to outer space. Mike, pulled back into a clandestine agency to finish the job he began over twenty-three years ago as a. navy ensign , is strangely attacked by gangs of what look like ordinary Americans. Attacks he can handle, but he is shaken when he learns that a revered friend has died. Will the death of Mike's friend mean that the secret of these mysterious objects will be locked forever in the dark ocean bottom?

47 four and five star reviews on Amazon US and UK. Many more on other platforms.

This book is so realistic that readers often finish the book wondering, "if this story might not be fiction at all, but something very real and very disturbing."

Strongly recommended by noted U.S. book critic Alan Caruba, who says, "If you read just one novel in 2011, make it Falling Star."

Falling Star has sold over 4,400 copies since its release in August 2010.

Simon Rosser (sirosser) | 3 comments Tipping Point

With news recently out that the Arctic’s sea ice may be at its lowest ever recorded level following the summer 2011 melt season, Tipping Point is an adventure thriller that couldn’t be timelier…

TWO DEAD CLIMATOLOGISTS

When eminent climatologist Dr Dale Stanton - in the process of studying the Atlantic Ocean’s Thermohaline Circulation - is found dead in his London apartment, environmental lawyer Robert Spire is given the task to administer a large legacy left to global warming organisations. The job should have been straightforward, until a second climatologist, Dr Jack Bannister drops dead on the other side of the Atlantic.

AN INTERNATIONAL CONSPIRACY

Spire’s client - suspicious of her son’s death - asks him to travel to San Francisco to investigate Dr Jack Bannister’s death. Whilst there, he meets French Climatologist Professor Francois Trimaud who is working on a geoengineering project to seed the Arctic Ocean with an experimental substance - the aim, to prevent, or at least slow the Arctic’s melting ice. Spire soon discovers that someone has other plans for the region and wants the climatologists dead at all costs.

A LOOMING ECOLOGICAL DISASTER

As evidence of increased glacial melt in Greenland and reduction in the Arctic ice mounts, Spire becomes determined to join Trimaud on the Mercure Blanc on a joint US/French expedition to the Arctic. He soon finds however, that the lives of all on board are in peril as he discovers a plan that threatens to push the Arctic to its tipping point and the Earth to disaster…


"Simon Rosser's scientific and psychological thriller "Tipping Point" is one of the best I have read in the past decade. He has a gift for fluent narrative, realistic characterisation and for creating settings that come vividly to life for the reader. He blends tension and suspense very successfully against the contemporary background of global warming and its sinister implications.
--Author, TV presenter and Priest Lionel Fanthorpe -

Simon Rosser, author of The A-Z of Global Warming draws on his experience to write Tipping Point, a pacey adventure-thriller with an environmental theme. With crisp dialogue and engaging characters, Tipping Point will appeal to readers interested in adventure thrillers with an environmental twist.

What the readers are saying;

“Tip top global adventure”

“Enjoyable action-thriller”

“Great yarn, couldn’t put it down”

“Well-crafted environmental thriller”

“Simmering suspense”

Edward Truitt | 4 comments Golan!This is a "what if" story. What if, instead of dropping the first crude and dirty nuclear weapon they can make on Israel, Iran held off a few more years and developed — or bought — sophisticated nukes that could burst at the edge of space above the atmosphere and create a powerful electromagnetic pulse. And then, what if the same international pack that attacked Israel in 1973 decided to try again? Only this time, with Israel crippled and blinded by a preemptive strike with these EMP (electromagnetic pulse) weapons?

It takes the next 480 pages to get Israel through this disaster -with courage, creativity, strength, faith and luck. Realistic, thought-provoking, and action-packed.

Black Flagged (Volume 1) by Steven Konkoly

Book One of the Black Flagged series.

A graduate of the Department of Defense's experimental Black Flag program, Daniel Petrovich carries a secret he'd rather keep buried. A secret his government has hidden in the deepest vaults of the Pentagon. Unfortunately for Daniel, some secrets carry a debt that can never be repaid, and certain acquired skills will always hold their value. Someone is trying to raise Black Flag from the dead, and bring Daniel back with it. Someone who knows all of his darkest secrets.

In exchange for the promise of a clean slate, and a chance to keep the life he has built with the woman he loves, he agrees to carry out one final mission. Now Daniel has an even bigger problem. The assassination of Mohammed Ghani, a wealthy Muslim importer, wasn't the uncomplicated mission he had been promised. Seven other prominent Muslim businessmen are killed on the same night along the East Coast, suddenly extinguishing Task Force HYDRA, the most significant counter-terrorism investigation in recent FBI history.

Daniel's life is about to disintegrate, as he becomes the focus of a relentless FBI manhunt, and the target of a vengeful CIA agent. To survive, he'll be forced to release a dark side he fought for years to keep suppressed. A dark side with few boundaries, and even fewer loyalties.

For a limited time only, at the introductory price of $ .99

Fatal Exchange chronicles the story of Tess Gideon, a female Manhattan bike messenger with an appetite for the wild side, who becomes embroiled in a rogue nation's Byzantine scheme to destabilize the U.S. financial system.

From the sweltering streets of Seoul to the sex-and-drug-driven underbelly of Greenwich Village, attempts at silencing a leak in an international counterfeiting operation leave a trail of butchery that leads inevitably to Wall Street, and pit a counter-culture heroine against a ruthless state-sponsored assassination team that will stop at nothing to achieve its lethal ends.

Allan Leverone (goodreadscomallan_leverone) | 6 comments Hi! Just a quick word to let you know my thriller, THE LONELY MILE, has been reduced for a limited time only to 99 cents!

NY Times bestselling author Debbi Mack calls THE LONELY MILE "suspenseful and well-written," and bestselling author Scott Nicholson says, "Allan Leverone delivers a taut crime drama full of twists and conspiracy."

Here's a quick synopsis:
When struggling hardware store owner Bill Ferguson witnesses a kidnapping in progress, he reacts instinctively, breaking up the crime and saving a young girl. But the kidnapper, a sociopath known as the “I-90 Killer,” escapes and vows revenge, targeting Ferguson’s own daughter as his next victim. Now one terrified father must unravel a plot that may go much deeper than he realizes, racing against time to save his only child from an unthinkable fate.

THE LONELY MILE has received a 4.7 average on twenty reviews at Amazon, and a 4.45 average on 31 ratings here at Goodreads.

When you spend years living a double life. Hiding your true nature and passions from the world, the stress can become unbearable. When revealing those truths may cost you and those you love, life itself, those stresses become magnified to levels even the most imaginative people can scarce comprehend.Daniel and Lauren and to lesser degree Bonny, have been living that life for nearly a decade. Daniel and Lauren have been undercover intelligence officers working in the murky world of paramilitary violence. Several attempts have been on their lives and many have died in those attempts. Daniel and Lauren withdraw exhausted and spent. They try to re-build their lives. Those they threatened have not forgotten them. The knowledge they fear they carry, hangs over the conspirators in Belfast and Whitehall, like the sword of Damocles. Daniel Dawes must be made to reveal what he knows. He must die to keep the secrets safe and hidden. As Daniel, Lauren and Bonny take a holiday, a plot to silence Daniel is unfolding. He will be tested like never before and when it’s over his grip on his sanity and his life will hang in the balance.
Regards, davidrory

Joseph Badal (badalbooksgmailcom) | 15 comments Great Feedback on Evil Deeds
I just finished "Evil Deeds" this morning. I loved it!!! You can spin a masterful tale, my friend! I appreciated your military jargon and references. It's refreshing to have someone write about Army stuff that really knows what they are talking about. YOU ROCK!

Alison  Buck | 4 comments Abiding Evil is a chilling supernatural horror thriller, but not a gore-fest.


Abiding Evil by Alison Buck

A group of friends and their children travel to a newly re-opened hotel that lies a mile or so within the boundaries of a vast, ancient forest. Cut off by an unexpected and powerful early snowstorm they soon realise that the almost impenetrable forest surrounding them is hiding a dark, abiding malevolence.
And it is hunting them.
Battling the deep snow, poorly equipped and with no communication or hope of help from the world beyond the trees, the friends are thrown into a desperate and terrifying fight to survive.

With 18 ✭✭✭✭✭ reviews (Amazon UK and US), Abiding Evil has been described by reviewers as:

"AMAZING, ENTICING, WITH WONDERFUL IMAGERY"
"A SUPERB READ"
"THE BEST HORROR I HAVE READ IN YEARS"
"AN INCREDIBLY SPOOKY READ"
"I THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND THIS"
"A DARK TALE, FULL OF MENACE"
"BEST BOOK I'VE READ IN AGES"
"A TRULY TERRIFYING EVIL PRESENCE"
"I CAN'T RECOMMEND THIS BOOK HIGHLY ENOUGH"
"EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK WAS SPOT ON"
"SUPERB HORROR, WONDERFULLY WRITTEN"
"I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!"
"THIS NOVEL TOTALLY BLEW ME AWAY"

A great choice for a chilling read on a Winter's evening ;-)

David Callinan (davidcallinan) | 4 comments The Immortality Plot by David Callinan

A Mike Delaney thriller

Former US government assassin and Hong Kong Police enforcer Mike Delaney joins an esoteric monastic brotherhood to discover his spiritual self until he falls in love and marries.

Then his journalist wife is ritually murdered by a contract serial killer known as 'The Priest' – because she was close to uncovering a global plot known as 'The Renaissance Project'. 'The Priest' is part of the conspiracy, a transvestite who abducts, violates and murders scores of young women. He leaves no trace, no DNA not even a drop of sweat.

Delaney will never stop until he tracks down 'The Priest' and infiltrates the labyrinthine 'Renaissance Project' – the world's most exclusive 'club' whose members are the global super rich and powerful who seek immortality at any price and at all costs.

Delaney's former partner, wheelchair-bound Bob Messenger, has created confess-confess.com – a global crime busting website where ordinary people fight back against scams, crime and injustice, each with their own code name. Delaney is known as 'The Monk'.

Delaney has sworn never to kill again but to seek peace and spiritual fulfilment. But fate and the loss of the woman he loved drive him to use his consummate investigative and physical skills to track down her killer and the organisation that ordered her execution. When it comes to it and he finally confronts 'The Priest', will he keep his vow or execute terminal revenge?

Ruth Francisco (kayakruthie) I decided to release my new book for Christmas. My LA friends ask me what I've been doing in Florida for the last four years. Well, I've been working on a novel, which I think captures the essence of the Florida Panhandle, the astonishing beauty, and equally astonishing political corruption. If you like Carl Hiaasen, take a look at "Sunshine Highway". I'd love to know what you think of it.
