-Titulo Original : Forgotten Bones (dead Remaining, 1)-Fabricante : Thomas & Mercer-Descripcion Original: An Amazon Charts bestseller. An unlikely pair teams up to investigate a brutal murder in a haunting thriller that walks the line between reality and impossibility. When small-town police officers discover the grave of a young boy, they’re quick to pin the crime on a convicted criminal who lives nearby. But when it comes to murder, Officer Susan Marlan never trusts a simple explanation, so she’s just getting started. Meanwhile, college professor Eric Evans hallucinates a young boy in overalls: a symptom of his schizophrenia or so he thinks. But when more bodies turn up, Eric has more visions, and they mirror details of the murder case. As the investigation continues, the police stick with their original conclusion, but Susan’s instincts tell her something is off. The higher-ups keep stonewalling her, and the FBI’s closing in. Desperate for answers, Susan goes rogue and turns to Eric for help. Together they take an unorthodox approach to the case as the evidence keeps getting stranger. With Eric’s hallucinations intensifying and the body count rising, can the pair separate truth from illusion long enough to catch a monster? Review “A deftly penned and riveting read from first page to last, Forgotten Bones showcases author Vivian Barz’s natural flair for originality and a reader-engaging narrative storytelling style. Offering more delicious plot twists than a bag of pretzels, Forgotten Bones is unreservedly recommended…” Midwest Book Review “From those first harrowing lines, Forgotten Bones is impossible to put down until the final pages are turned. While the pacing makes for a compulsive read, Barz has simultaneously [created] a multi-layered story [that is] populated by real people a determined female police officer, new in her job and trying to find her footing, and a brilliant young professor, whose schizophrenia causes him to doubt everything he sees. Then, there’s the ghost of a young boy in clothes that make it clear he’s not from this time. Despite the ghost and the murders, Forgotten Bones is much more than a ghost story or a mystery. It’s about the struggles of mental illness, finding our own path, and the brutal disease that is addiction. With moments that will have readers laughing out loud and others that will transport the characters’ despair to their very core, Forgotten Bones is nuanced and thrilling, fun and unforgettable. The start to a fabulous new series!” Danielle Girard, #1 Amazon Charts and USA Today bestselling author of Far Gone “ Forgotten Bones is a genre-bending tale, intertwining suspense, mystery, and supernatural horror. From the very first chapter it is clear that this isn’t a run-of-the-mill thriller novel. Barz takes the reader on a murder tale teaming with moments that make us feel as if the temperature in the room is dropping, the light above flickering, and someone behind us creeping ever so closer. A fantastic read for those who love paranormal thrillers.” Michael Omer, New York Times bestselling author of A Killer’s Mind “This story grabbed me from the first page and the pace never let up. The supernatural aspect of the story was unique and added to the creepy factor. The characterization was excellent, particularly of an adult man with schizophrenia. I find it fascinating to delve into the mind of others that experience life differently than me, especially when it is achieved with realism and compassion and humor. That’s another thing, the author has a wicked sense of humor that is highly entertaining.” Debbie Herbert, USA Today bestselling author of Cold Waters “ Supernatural meets Clarice in this thrilling story filled with unforgettable characters with unbelievable abilities. Keep the lights on and doors locked before starting this book. Vivian Barz really keeps those pages turning!” Matthew Farrell, bestselling author of Tell Me the Truth “ Forgotten Bones is a killer of a novel.

Although this installment is not closely tied to the preceding two novels, its ending implies that Matts multivolume tale is far from over. Solid entertainment. --Kirkus Reviews The Love Killings (Detective Matt Jones #2) Ellis ( City of Echoes, 2015, etc.) eases new readers into the second Matt-centric novel. Having previously suffered betrayal, Matt has good reason to be paranoid, which results in a gleefully tense sequel as he quickly notices someone watching him. His relationships are complex ... the mystery is straightforward, and Matts propensity for repeatedly asking himself questions keeps him (and readers) focused. The authors writing is tight but descriptive. Though the prose is never unduly graphic, some of the murderers actions will likely make some readers queasy. The ending effectively sets the stage for the next installment. A persistently gripping thriller with strong characters. --Kirkus Reviews City of Echoes (Detective Matt Jones #1) Stunning emotional force. Ellis keeps everything in focus while building a staggering momentum. --Booklist, Starred Review City of Echoes is a dark, gritty, one-sit read. Ellis trademark plotting is on full display here. --Bookreporter Only really good writers can make you feel so strongly. City of Echoes is another bravura effort from the talented Robert Ellis. --Mystery Scene City of Echoes is an absorbing and entertaining read from first page to last and documents novelist Robert Ellis as a master of the genre. --Midwest Book Review City of Echoes is a Best Book of the Month. -- City of Fire (Lena Gamble #1) Los Angeles under a cloud of acrid smoke . . . Robert Elliss City of Fire is a gripping, spooky crime novel. --New York Times Hot List Pick City of Fire is my kind of crime novel. Gritty, tight and assured. Riding with Detective Lena Gamble through the hills of Los Angeles is something I could get used to. Shes tough, smart, and most of all, shes real. --Michael Connelly, New York Times Bestselling Author City of Fire features a tough but deeply flawed protagonist, a tantalizingly complex plot, fully realized--and realistic--characters, and most of all, a palpable intensity. And if that werent enough, the bombshell plot twist at the novels conclusion makes this an absolute must read for thriller aficionados. --Chicago Tribune The Lost Witness (Lena Gamble #2) Scorching.

Without any memory, Grace has no alibi. With suspicion weighing heavily on her and flashes of memory returning, Grace searches for clues to her past. But with every glimpse, her anxiety grows. There is something about the house, her family, her childhood…perhaps the accident isn’t the only reason she can’t remember. Are the dark recesses of her mind hiding something even more sinister and terrifying than she could ever imagine? Is someone willing to kill again to hide the truth? Review “E.C. Diskin is the best and brightest new mystery writer to come along in a long time. In her powerful second novel Broken Grace, her use of language is deft and skillful she turns a lovely phrase. Her characters, especially her women, are both real and original. Her story raises intriguing questions about identity, memory, association, trust, and the self on its most essential level. This is not so much a ‘whodunit’ as a ‘whoisit?’” Peter Ferry, author of Travel Writing and Old Heart “The tension never relents in this five-star page turner…This is a masterfully crafted story in the best traditions of classical murder mysteries…Every scene adds tension to Grace’s plight and ends at the edge of another emotional cliff, daring the reader to put the book down…If you love a fast-moving mystery that keeps you guessing, Broken Grace is highly recommended.” Windy City Reviews “E.C. Diskin is a master at gracefully infusing plot with suspense, riveting her readers from page one. Each chapter takes you deeper and deeper into the cavernous darkness. And just when you think you have a handle on what’s happening, Diskin expertly turns another card, sending us down a completely different path. Much like passing a tragic accident, we can’t help but slow down to gape.” Coley Sohn, writer and director of Sassy Pants “On its police procedural merits alone, the novel is excellent. The device of revealing the plot through Grace’s emerging memories, as well as through Bishop and Hackett’s investigation, is genius. E.C. Diskin has a sensitive grasp of human behavior, and great noir chops. Broken Grace is an exceptional thriller with hairpin plot turns and moral complexity.” The Wiseacre About the Author E.C.

But when eight-year-old Tanisha Walker offers him a jar full of change to find her missing brother, he doesn’t have the heart to turn her away. Justin had hoped to find the boy alive and well.
