Over ten years and 721 cases, not one miracle he tested has proved true. But case #722 is different; Daniel’s estranged uncle, a crooked TV evangelist, has started speaking in tongues and accurately predicting the future. Daniel knows Reverend Tim Trinity is a con man. Could Trinity also be something more? The evangelist himself is baffled by his newfound power and the violent reaction it provokes. After years of scams, he suddenly has the ability to predict everything from natural disasters to sports scores. Now the mob wants him dead for ruining their gambling business, and the Vatican wants him debunked as a false messiah. On the run from assassins, Trinity flees with Daniel’s help through the back roads of the Bible Belt to New Orleans, where Trinity plans to deliver a final prophecy so shattering his enemies will do anything to keep him silent. From Booklist Daniel Byrne, an investigator for the Vatican’s Office of the Devil’s Advocate, has examined more than 700 claims of miracles but has never found one that checks out. Then, when he’s instructed to investigate a televangelist who is making accurate predictions about future events, Daniel is faced with the seemingly unavoidable truth that the man is not a faker. Chercover makes Daniel’s journey from skepticism to acceptance powerful and moving, especially since the evangelist, Tim Trinity, is Daniel’s estranged uncle, and Daniel is very familiar with his conman past.

-Titulo Original : Shady Cross-Fabricante : Thomas & Mercer-Descripcion Original: In one hand, small-time crook Stokes holds a backpack stuffed with someone else’s money three hundred and fifty thousand dollars of it. In the other hand, Stokes has a cell phone, which he found with the money. On the line, a little girl he doesn’t know asks, “Daddy? Are you coming to get me? They say if you give them money they’ll let you take me home.” From bestselling author James Hankins comes a wrenching story of an unscrupulous man torn between his survival instincts and the plight of a true innocent. Faced with the choice, Stokes discovers his conscience might not be as corroded as he thought. From Publishers Weekly Starred Review: This outstanding crime thriller from Hankins (Brothers and Bones) grabs the reader by the scruff of the neck and never lets go. When second-rate crook Stokes ransacks a wrecked car that’s run off a country road near Shady Cross, Ind., he discovers that the dead driver had a knapsack stuffed with $350,000; the bad news is that Stokes also finds a ringing cell phone that announces the money was ransom for the dead man’s little daughter. His first impulse is to ditch the phone and run with the cash. Instead, Stokes plays along with the kidnappers over the phone, trying to figure out their plan and save the child. He has no experience as a hero, and the new role forces him into situations that are deadly dangerous and grotesquely hilarious-while the kidnappers keep calling every hour to threaten the girl. Hankins skillfully keeps the story from going warm and fuzzy as Stokes gropes toward redemption. From Booklist Antihero is too kind a term for Stokes. He’s an ex-con; he robs the fellow on the next bar stool. He abandoned a wife and daughter because they were too much trouble. His last break-in may have left the householder dead. And he carries this fine, offbeat novel. The author’s skill in bringing this off is magical, since Stokes is not an engaging rogue-though his droll humor is evident-and he’s not a heel with a heart of gold like those Bogart characters. When he comes upon a backpack loaded with cash and learns it’s to ransom a little girl who’s being tortured, his immediate reaction is to blow town with the money, the hell with the kid. Fate intervenes, and Stokes is off on a twisty plot that brings him up against people-some outwardly splendid-who could give him lessons in baseness. As the narrative winds to its hurtful conclusion, we understand that by trying to rescue the girl, Stokes rescues himself. We also know we’ve read a novel crammed with crackling dialogue and characters who are, unfortunately, all too true to life. Review “This outstanding crime thriller from Hankins ( Brothers and Bones) grabs the reader by the scruff of the neck and never lets go.” Publishers Weekly (starred review) “[A] fine, offbeat novel...crammed with crackling dialogue and characters that are...true to life.” Booklist About the Author Bestselling author James Hankins pursued writing at an early age.

-Titulo Original : The Betrayer-Fabricante : Thomas & Mercer-Descripcion Original: Shamus Award winner Daniel Judson returns with a gripping, family-driven epic that Alison Gaylin, international bestselling author of And She Was, calls “An action-packed, smart and richly layered thriller.” Wanted for a crime he did not commit, former paratrooper Johnny Coyle is living in hiding with a woman he has sworn to protect at all costs. But when his younger brother Jeremy begins looking into the death of the father he barely knew a legendary undercover FBI agent murdered by a Russian hit squad two years before Johnny will risk everything to save what is left of his estranged family from a cunning and twisted killer-for-hire bent on vengeance. This book was initially released in episodes as a Kindle Serial. All episodes are now available for immediate download as a complete book. Review “Daniel Judson is a master at building tension and suspense. Not only did The Betrayer keep me guessing, I was totally blown away by its electrifying ending I never saw it coming. Watch out Michael Connelly, there’s a new sheriff in town!” Andrew Peterson, author of Forced to Kill About the Author Daniel Judson, Shamus Award winner and four-time finalist, is the author of seven acclaimed novels: The Darkest Place, The Water’s Edge, The Violet Hour, Voyeur, and The Gin Palace Trilogy, comprised of The Poisoned Rose, The Bone Orchard, and The Gin Palace. Though he began submitting novels to publishers when he was nineteen, Daniel remained unpublished for nearly twenty years. A brief study of playwriting and acting in college resulted early on in a research method that is decidedly character-driven and occasionally borders on obsession. “If I’m writing about a boxer, I’ll learn to box and do a boxer’s workout every afternoon. If I’m writing about a man who’s living in hiding, I’ll slip off the grid as best as I can for a time. I’ll even go as far as to wear what my characters wear or carry in my pockets what they carry in theirs. It’s also important for me to walk the streets they walk, see and hear the things they might see and hear.” This attention to detail has resulted in an acquisition of a wide variety of skills, from Vipassana meditation to Filipino knife-fighting to playing jazz trumpet to quick-drawing and shooting “triple taps” in three seconds. His research for The Betrayer included reading WWII war memoirs (particularly those written by paratroopers) and practicing urban evasion techniques in New York City. Daniel currently lives in Connecticut with his fiancee and their four rescued cats. He works nights as a bartender and spends his spare time enhancing his current skills and pursuing new ones...

Review Praise for Strangers We Know“…the increasingly tense plot takes turns the reader won’t see coming. Marr is a writer to watch.” -Publishers Weekly“Elle Marr is an author to know. Just when you think you understand the motives behind her characters and the way their story lines are being presented-bam!-Elle will hit you with twists you won’t see coming. Told from multiple points of view, Strangers We Know is about more than Ivy learning of her past and, shockingly, the serial killer within her family; it’s also about knowing who to trust and how to discern who’s telling the complete story. Because if everyone has secrets, are they truly family or only strangers? Read Strangers We Know to find out.” -Georgina Cross, bestselling author of The Stepdaughter“Elle Marr burst onto the suspense scene in 2020 with her bestselling debut, The Missing Sister, and followed up a year later with Lies We Bury, another trust-no-one murder mystery. With her third novel, Strangers We Know, Marr firmly establishes herself as a master of ‘did that really just happen?’ thrillers. Strangers We Know has plot twists so unexpected and characters so creepy you won’t want to turn out the lights, and the ending is surprising in multiple ways. Who knew a deranged-serial-killer whodunit could leave you with all the feels?” -A.H. Kim, author of A Good Family“Dark family secrets, serial murder, and a cult? Yes, please. Twisty and a little twisted, the highly addictive and surprise-packed Strangers We Know will have you pulling an all-nighter.” -Heather Chavez, author of No Bad Deed“From the first page I was gripped by Strangers We Know and read through the night till the end. The novel is thrilling beyond belief, with suspense and twists ratcheting up on each page. Elle Marr is brilliant at delving into the darkness of a seemingly normal family, and by the time she pulls back the curtains on each character, the terror has built so excruciatingly, you just have to keep going till you find out every single thing-you’re afraid to know, but you have to know. This is the year’s must read.” -Luanne Rice, bestselling author of The Shadow BoxPraise for Elle Marr“A deep, deep dive into unspeakable memories and their unimaginably shocking legacy.” -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“The suspenseful plot is matched by the convincing portrayal of the vulnerable Claire, who just wants to lead a normal life.

-Titulo Original : Or Else A Thriller-Fabricante : Thomas & Mercer-Descripcion Original: Review “Hart remains a suspense writer to watch.” Publishers Weekly“Or Else is a thriller/suspense tour de force. Joe Hart has knocked it out of the park with a start-to-finish roller coaster ride of perfectly executed twists and expertly timed chills. Deep character development and rich narrative seals Or Else’s place as the not-to-be-missed domestic thriller/suspense of the year.” Steven Konkoly, author of the Ryan Decker series and Deep Sleep“The perfect thriller for a rainy afternoon, Or Else draws you into a web of small town secrets, lies, and intrigue and doesn’t let you go. Hart’s well-rendered setting and characters resonate like people and places you’ve known. Loved every minute of this absolute page-turner!” D.M. Pulley, bestselling author of The Dead Key“Joe Hart has written compelling stories before, but it’s in Or Else that he shows off just how good he is. This book checks all the boxes for me: a (seemingly) quiet, small town drama filled with those little quirks and secrets nobody wants to talk about that quickly blossoms into something big, sinister, and menacing. Hart doesn’t pull any punches on some serious issues, either: love, infidelity, family conflict…there’s plenty to think about right up to the explosive ending. THIS is the thriller you’ll be recommending for the foreseeable future.” Matthew Iden, author of the Marty Singer series and The Winter Over A secret love becomes a fatal affair in a twisting novel of suspense by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Joe Hart.When novelist Andy Drake returns to his hometown to care for his ailing father, a reconnection with his childhood friend Rachel escalates into a secret love affair.
