-Titulo Original : Supreme Justice (reeder And Rogers Thriller)-Fabricante : Thomas & Mercer-Descripcion Original: After taking a bullet for his commander-in-chief, Secret Service agent Joseph Reeder is a hero. But his outspoken criticism of the president he saved who had stacked the Supreme Court with hard-right justices to overturn Roe v. Wade, amp up the Patriot Act, and shred the First Amendment put Reeder at odds with the Service’s apolitical nature, making him an outcast. FBI agent Patti Rogers finds herself paired with the unpopular former agent on a task force investigating the killing of Supreme Court Justice Henry Venter. Reeder nicknamed “Peep” for his unparalleled skills at reading body language makes a startling discovery while reviewing a security tape: the shooting was premeditated, not a botched robbery. Even more chilling, the controversial Venter may not be the only justice targeted for death... Is a mastermind mounting an unprecedented judicial coup aimed at replacing ultra-conservative justices with a new liberal majority? To crack the conspiracy and save the lives of not just the justices but also Reeder’s own family, rising star Rogers and legendary investigator Reeder must push their skills and themselves to the limit. From Booklist In the near future, the Supreme Court has reversed Roe v. Wade, strengthened the Patriot Act, and dismissed the Fourth Amendment. Devlin Harrison, the second African American president, is a liberal, but the court’s conservatives plan to outlast him. Then conservative justice Henry Venter is shot and killed in a D.C. restaurant. Enter former Secret Service Agent Joe Reeder, who took a bullet while guarding a president. Hailed as a hero, he made the mistake of expressing his opposition to that president’s neocon politics and quickly became a pariah. His only remaining federal-cop friend is FBI Agent Gabe Sloan, and Sloan, valuing Reeder’s insight, adds Reeder as a consultant to the multiagency task force investigating Venter’s murder. Soon a second conservative justice is killed, and the mastermind behind the crimes may be just getting started. Collins (Ask Not, 2013), perhaps best known for his Nathan Heller novels, has crafted a spiky thriller with a fine inside-the-Beltway sensibility. His politics are transparent enough to cost him conservative readers, but the sense is that Collins is probably OK with that. -Thomas Gaughan Review “Settle back in your airplane seat, fasten your seatbelt, and get ready for a great ride in Supreme Justice, Max Allan Collins’s latest novel…Written in a smooth style, the suspense builds relentlessly throughout the story.” Suspense Magazine About the Author Max Allan Collins has earned fifteen Private Eye Writers of America “Shamus” nominations, winning for his Nathan Heller novels, True Detective and Stolen Away, and receiving the PWA life achievement award, the Eye.

-Titulo Original : Bone Music (the Burning Girl, 1)-Fabricante : Thomas & Mercer-Descripcion Original: An Amazon Charts bestseller. There’s more than one way to stoke the flames of revenge… Charlotte Rowe spent the first seven years of her life in the hands of the only parents she knew a pair of serial killers who murdered her mother and tried to shape Charlotte in their own twisted image. If only the nightmare had ended when she was rescued. Instead, her real father exploited her tabloid-ready story for fame and profit until Charlotte finally broke free from her ghoulish past and fled. Just when she thinks she has buried her personal hell forever, Charlotte is swept into a frightening new ordeal. Secretly dosed with an experimental drug, she’s endowed with a shocking new power but pursued by a treacherous corporation desperate to control her. Except from now on, if anybody is going to control Charlotte, it’s going to be Charlotte herself. She’s determined to use the extraordinary ability she now possesses to fight the kind of evil that shattered her life by drawing a serial killer out from the shadows to face the righteous fury of a victim turned avenger. From School Library Journal There’s a lot of plot crammed into this series launch. When Charlotte was a baby, her mother was killed by a serial killer couple, who took Charlotte in until their capture seven years later. Now a young woman, Charlotte lives alone in the Arizona desert and trusts few people, including her therapist. When the drug he gives her for her anxiety turns out to be not quite what she expected, her carefully cloistered life falls apart quickly and puts her in the path of a serial killer. Though many of the topics seem extremely gory, most of the violence is psychological and largely off the page. Suspension of disbelief is required in this hybrid thriller/science fiction novel, but it is not hard to imagine it being turned into a high-budget action movie. The combination of Firestarter, The Silence of the Lambs, and the Elizabeth Smart story finally gels at the conclusion, while setting the stage for more. VERDICT: This could be a secondary choice for fans of Stephen King or thriller series or for readers who don’t mind suspense laced with a hint of science fiction. -Jamie Watson, Baltimore County Public Library Review “A stellar and gripping opening to the Burning Girl Series introduces the tough, smart Trina Pierce, aka Charlotte Rowe, who survived a childhood of murder and exploitation to discover there might be another way to fight back…Readers will be eager for the next installment in Rice’s science-fiction take on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” Booklist (starred review) “ Bone Music is a taut and gripping thriller that’s as bleak and harsh as the Arizona desert. It never lets up until the final page. Rice has created a great character in Charlotte Rowe.” Authorlink “A simply riveting cliff-hanger of a novel, Bone Music by Christopher Rice is one of those reads that will linger in the mind and memory long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf.” Midwest Book Review “Christopher Rice’s first Burning Girl novel weaves a complex, suspenseful, gritty tale with grace and energy that turns the tables on the female victim trope.” RT Book Reviews About the Author Christopher Rice is the recipient of the Lambda Literary Award and is the New York Times bestselling author of A Density of Souls and the Bram Stoker Award finalists The Heavens Rise and The Vines.

-Titulo Original : Burning Man (a Gideon And Sirius Novel, 1)-Fabricante : Thomas & Mercer-Descripcion Original: LAPD cop Michael Gideon and his police dog partner Sirius became reluctant celebrities after capturing a notorious serial killer in the midst of an inferno. For their heroism, they were chosen to head up the newly formed Special Cases Unit. Now the duo tackles out-of-the-ordinary cases, anything deemed unusual or bizarre even by Hollyweird standards. When a teenager is found crucified in a city park, Gideon and Sirius are handed the bizarre case. Confronting the gruesome tableau and having to work the case worsens Detective Gideon’s PTSD, a condition he has tried to hide from others. Gideon’s burns may have healed, but the fire haunts him still…in more ways than one. Eerily prescient since that terrible night of the fire, Gideon has unusual insights into the crimes he investigates, a skill he and Sirius must learn to trust as much as they do each other if they are to solve and survive this case. From Booklist Crime-fiction-veteran Russell (Multiple Wounds, 2005) blurs subgenre boundaries here, with comedy, psychological suspense, and police procedural blissfully cohabitating. After months of treatment for burns sustained while pursuing a serial killer into a raging wildfire, Michael Gideon and his K-9 partner, Sirius, have leveraged their hero status for spots on the newly created Special (read Strange) Cases Unit. With Gideon barely squelching fire-induced PTSD, the duo is summoned to the scene of a teenager’s apparent crucifixion. The victim is quickly identified as a bully with numerous victims, and Gideon gets to work, wise-cracking the resulting tangle of witnesses into cooperation. Gideon is managing more than cases and nightmares; he’s also juggling a budding romance, conflict about his family’s past, and a creepily codependent relationship with the murderer, whose capture has shaped his current life. Alternately used to ingratiate himself with witnesses and suspects and to exhaust their defenses, Gideon’s wit runs up against inner turbulence as he attempts to crack the case and deal with personal demons. Particularly appealing for fans of Robert Crais’ Elvis Cole series. --Christine Tran Review “One of the best writers in the mystery field today.” Publishers Weekly About the Author Critical acclaim has greeted Alan Russell’s novels from coast to coast.

I traced him to Los Angeles through his 1943 enlistment record and discovered that he was born in Arkansas…” Robinson cites crime writing and genealogy as ardent hobbies - a passion that is readily apparent in his work.
