Border War Lou Dobbs and James O. Born

A timely thriller about US law enforcement officers on the Mexican border by TV broadcaster Lou Dobbs

The border is a tough place to work, especially for FBI agent Tom Eriksen. With a history of violence, he cannot afford any on­duty screw­ups. So when an investigation ends in a bloody shootout and the shooting is deemed “questionable,” the bureau reassigns Eriksen to an office known as “the Island of Misfit Cops”: a resting place for those who have screwed up enough to warrant being dumped in El Paso. But when his partner is murdered, Eriksen must take charge and solve the case, wading through corruption and betrayal to discover the truth. Only after he teams up with a resourceful and gorgeous NSA agent, Kat Gleason, does his luck change. As they slowly put the puzzle pieces together, the investigation points to a powerful cartel lord and a shadowy US computer company. As the web of deceit and betrayal tightens, the body count grows. Eriksen must deal with the mayhem caused by the cartels while racing against the clock to stop an assassin whose target is someone very close to him.

LOU DOBBS, the host of Fox Business Network’s Lou Dobbs Tonight, is a legendary broadcaster, bestselling author, and one of the most respected and insightful voices on politics, economics, society, and business. JAMES O. BORN is an award­winning author who has published articles on history and Florida. He is a former US Drug Enforcement Agent and is currently a Special Agent with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

PRAISE “Powerfully authentic, this riveting novel dramatizes the illegal­drug trade (and much more) in all its devastation and raw violence. More than mere entertainment, Border War is also a stunning education.” —Ralph Peters, Fox News strategic analyst and author of Hell or Richmond “The gritty, brutal, homicidal reality of the Mexican drug cartels makes the Mafia seem like choirboys. Dobbs and Born got it exactly right—Border War hits with the impact of a .45 slug. If you only read one thriller this year, this is the one!” —Stephen Coonts, New York Times bestselling author of Pirate Alley

The Kraken Mission Douglas Preston

Wyman Ford is back again in this thrilling new NASA­inspired novel from New York Times bestselling author Douglas Preston

NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center is designing a probe which will be dropped into the Kraken Mare, one of the methane seas of Titan. There, it will embark on a journey of exploration. As the probe is being tested at Goddard, things go awry, and an explosion kills seven scientists. The AI program in the probe, a powerful, self­modifying AI called “Jane,” flees into the Internet. Series character Wyman Ford is tapped by the president’s science advisor to track down the software with the help of Jane’s creator, Melissa Veld. As the two of them trace Jane in her wanderings in cyberspace, they realize Jane’s horrific experiences in the wasteland of the Internet have changed her—utterly. But for the better . . . or worse? At the same time, they learn Jane is being pursued by a pair of Wall Street high­frequency traders, who want to turn her into an algorithmic­trading slave­bot. Pursued relentlessly by the traders, Jane jumps out of the Internet into a child’s toy robot, to hide. Now the only person standing between the murderous algo traders and Jane is a lonely, twelve­year­old boy living on an isolated bay on the coast of northern California. But is Jane bent on doing good . . . or on wiping out the cancer of the human race?

The Zodiac Deception Gary Kriss

A pulse­pounding, original WWII thriller with a masterfully clever clockwork plot run by a charismatic, resourceful conman antihero working undercover in the Nazi High Command

Summer, 1942: The con man known as David Walker didn't exactly volunteer, but OSS chief Wild Bill Donovan convinced him that serving his country and the cause of freedom by posing as German astrologer Peter Kepler was a better use of his time than going to prison for impersonating a Yale University professor. "Kepler's" mission: use his skills in illusion, sleight of hand, and deception to gain Heinrich Himmler’s trust and persuade him to assassinate Adolph Hitler.

In a plot that involves German resistance members in high places, Kepler walks a tightrope of deceit, playing on the high command's fascination with the occult to penetrate the highest levels of Nazi power in a daring plan to eliminate the Nazi Führer.

In action that takes readers from Berlin to Paris to Cairo; from Hitler's Eagle Nest to Himmler’s occult Wewelsburg Castle, The Zodiac Deception is a memorable debut, an unforgettable thrill ride through the dark heart of World War II Germany.

PRAISE

“Intriguing…a World War II thriller in the grand old style, but with fresh new twists.” —Lee Child, New York Times bestselling author

“A refreshingly inventive, exciting WWII thriller. It's unlike anything you've read before.” —David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of Murder as a Fine Art

“A taut historical thriller. Kriss delivers an action­packed debut as a con man, a film maker, and a priest utilize the Nazis' fascination with occult in a plot to assassinate Hitler.” —Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Touch and Go

GARY KRISS, an award­winning reporter for the New York Times, was born in Brooklyn and raised in a small town in Eastern Tennessee. Kriss and his wife live in a northern suburb of New York City. This is his first novel.

End of Days Robert Gleason

“A narrative knockout punch… Gleason’s novel is in a class by itself.” —Booklist, starred review

Lydia Lozen Magruder—the great­granddaughter of a female Apache war­shaman—has seen visions of the End since childhood. She has constructed a massive ranch­fortress in the American Southwest, stocked with everything necessary to rebuild civilization. Now her visions are coming true. John Stone, once a baseball star and now a famous gonzo journalist, stumbled across a plan to blast humanity back to the Stone Age. Then he vanished. Lydia’s only hope of tracking him down lies with her stubborn, globe­trotting daughter Kate, Stone’s former lover. Meanwhile, a Russian general obsessed with nuclear Armageddon has also disappeared...as have eight or more of his Russian subs, armed with nuclear­tipped missiles. The world is armed for self­destruction. Who will survive?

PRAISE

“A thrilling take on a frighteningly possible future, one that makes the journey in Cormac McCarthy’s The Road look like a stroll through the park.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review “Gleason’s powerful, compelling book is a stark reminder of the peril we face unless we find a way to destroy nuclear weapons before they destroy us.” —Byron L. Dorgan, former senator and New York Times bestselling author “End Of Days is not a dream. It's just tomorrow arriving a day early.” —William S. Cohen, former US Secretary of Defense and New York Times bestselling author of Blink of an Eye

Ragtime Cowboys Loren D. Estleman

Two former Pinkertons—aging Charles Siringo and young Dashiell Hammett—take down the forces of corruption in prohibition­era California

In prohibition­era Southern California, real life detectives Charles D. Siringo and Dashiell Hammett must solve a mystery involving a ruthless politician—Joseph P. Kennedy. With sharp dialogue and rich historical background, Ragtime Cowboys is an exciting, suspenseful tale in which the Old West and Hollywood collide.

Los Angeles, 1921: Ex­Pinkerton Charlie Siringo is living in quiet retirement when Wyatt Earp knocks on his door and asks him to track down his missing horse. What begins as horse thievery turns into a deeper mystery as Siringo and another ex­Pinkerton, the young Dashiell Hammett, follow clues that take them from the streets of Los Angeles to Jack London's farm, until they discover a conspiracy masterminded by the notorious and powerful Joseph P. Kennedy.

From the first page to the closing chapter, these ragtime cowboys chase the truth in this compelling tale of the Old West and early Hollywood.

PRAISE

“An exciting western loaded with intrigue, suspense, and clever plot twists. One of Estleman's best, a smart, tightly wrapped story.” —Publishers Weekly on The Book of Murdock

“Estleman is best known for his mysteries, but he’s equally adept at westerns, as he demonstrates again here. His novels—regardless of type—are peppered with humor, irony, and melancholy, and as a narrator, Murdock delivers all three. A clever plot and a satisfying conclusion round out a very enjoyable read.” —Booklist on The Book of Murdock

LOREN D. ESTLEMAN is the author of more than seventy novels. He has won four Shamus Awards, five Spur Awards, and three Western Heritage Awards, among others. He lives with his wife, author Deborah Morgan, in central Michigan.

The Hour of the Innocents Robert Paston

A portrait of a young Vietnam veteran who dreams of rock and roll

1968. Vietnam. Social turmoil. Drugs. Music. Four young musicians are determined to escape a ravaged industrial landscape by playing rock and roll...and they play it with a passion and brilliance that contrasts with their poverty. Music is the only hope they have. Set against a fleeting age when music seemed about to change the world, the story of the band known as The Innocents captures the true drama of the late 1960s—not the glitter of famous names, but the yearning of the heartland guitarists and drummers who believed…and the lovers, friends, and lives crushed along the way.

PRAISE

“Blue­collar rock & roll...Bruce [Springsteen] built his house on such a foundation. It all plays out in The Hour of the Innocents: the love, the hurt, the sweet pain and exhilaration of being in a band when there was still a dream to die for.” —Larry Kirwan, of the band Black 47 “A moving and evocative tale that resonates with the truth of having lived through a turbulent time. Its belief in music as a way of redemption is deeply felt and exhilarating, and the Vietnam scenes are vivid and heart­pounding.” —Don Scardino, producer and director of 30 Rock “This is about so much more than 1960's rock.” —Larry Bond, New York Times bestselling author

A self­described “psychedelic relic,” ROBERT PASTON has pursued a varied, adventurous, and satisfying life (and was sometimes pursued himself along the way). He now lives and writes under tall trees with his saintly wife and a few good guitars—including an old Les Paul.

Pray for Us Sinners Patrick Taylor

A British Army bomb­disposal expert goes undercover to try to identify the source of the bombs being used by the Provisional IRA

In Belfast in 1973 the Troubles are raging. Two Ulstermen. Two sides. On one, British Army bomb­disposal officer Marcus Richardson; on the other, Davy MacCutcheon, Provisional IRA armourer who has been constructing bombs since his teens. Both men are committed to their causes until events shatter their beliefs, leaving each with a crisis of faith and an overpowering need to get out—but with honour. When he is nearly killed by an exploding car bomb, Marcus welcomes the offer of a transfer to the elite SAS—provided that he first accept an undercover mission to infiltrate the Falls Road ghetto, join the Provisional IRA, identify their upper echelon, and expose their bomb­maker. When Davy’s devices are used for civilian disruption rather than military targets, the bomb­maker begins to question what he’s doing. His work is being used to maim and kill innocent people. His request to be discharged is countered by an order that he go on one last mission. Success will bring Davy redemption and permission to leave Ireland with Fiona Kavanagh, the woman he loves. When the paths of the two men cross, Davy realizes that he can use Marcus’s expertise in plastic explosives. A runaway series of events leaves both men in an abandoned farmhouse in the middle of a plot to kill the British prime minster. Can Marcus find a way to thwart the plan and escape with his life?

PRAISE

“Pray for Us Sinners is written with heartfelt urgency to explain Ulster rather than demonize the place and the population. A deeply felt thriller and a very valuable one.” —The Globe and Mail “Taylor has written a compelling story. Tension grows as it moves from one side of the conflict to another. What is clearly brought home to the reader is the suffering and hardships this conflict brings to the civilian population.” —Historical Novel Society on Pray for Us Sinners

PATRICK TAYLOR, M.D., was born and raised in Bangor, County Down, in Northern Ireland. Dr. Taylor is a distinguished medical researcher, offshore sailor, model­boat builder, and father of two grown children. He now lives on Saltspring Island, British Columbia. www.patricktaylor.ca

Along the ever­changing border of gentrifying Los Angeles, seventeen­year­old Monique Darson is found dead at a condominium construction site, hanging in the closet of an unfinished unit. Homicide detective Elouise “Lou” Norton’s new partner, Colin Taggert, fresh from the comparatively bucolic Colorado Springs police department, assumes it’s a teenage suicide. Lou isn’t buying the easy explanation.

For one thing, the condo site is owned by Napoleon Crase, a self­made millionaire. . .and the man who may have murdered Lou's missing sister, Tori, thirty years ago. As Lou investigates the death of Monique Darson, she uncovers undeniable links between the two cases. But her department is skeptical.

Lou is convinced that when she solves Monique’s case she will finally bring her lost sister home. But as she gets closer to the truth, she also gets closer to a violent killer. After all this time, can he be brought to justice. . .before Lou becomes his next victim?

Blacklist Jerry Ludwig

The last time the United States looked on its own citizens with suspicion, the results were ruined dreams, shattered lives…and murder

Today, people point fingers and shout, “terrorist!” Not long ago, the accusation was “Communist!” Many who testified before the House UnAmerican Activities Committee said they did so out of desperation and fear. Those who refused to speak were fired or blacklisted. Others fled rather than betray friends…or their belief in American liberty.

David Weber and Jana Vardian were Hollywood’s golden children; their fathers, successful screenwriters, mingled with stars and studio moguls. Then HUAC shattered their idyll, sending David and his parents into exile in Europe; Jana’s father testified and soon became a famous director.

Returning to Los Angeles as an adult to bury his father, David comes to the attention of FBI agent Brian McKenna, who is still eager for a big case. The somewhat jaded McKenna remains eager for a big case. Jana Vardian watched her father torture himself after testifying; David’s return painfully reminds her that she once believed in love and loyalty.

When people with ties to HUAC and to David’s father begin turning up dead, long­buried secrets are dragged into the open. McKenna quickly tags David as the prime suspect, but in a world where special effects can turn a man into a beast, Hollywood’s sheen of glamour cannot long mask its dark past.

PRAISE

“An intense, vivid kaleidoscope of a serious novel masquerading as a whodunit.” —John Weisman, New York Times bestselling author “Talk about an epoch of dishonest politicians, unscrupulous media, and endemic contempt for the Bill of Rights! Jerry Ludwig serves up a solid pro's view of the movie business during the deadliest years of the Cold War.” —Michael Butler, co­screenwriter of Clint Eastwood's Pale Rider “Absolutely riveting. Passionate and principled and sometimes very funny…a cautionary tale about an America when our biggest enemies were secrecy and silence.” —Patricia Bosworth, author of Anything Your Little Heart Desires

JERRY LUDWIG is a multiple­Emmy Award–winning writer for television. He has been nominated for the Golden Globe and has won Writers Guild of America and American Cinema Editors Awards. Ludwig has written for Murder, She Wrote; MacGyver; Mission: Impossible; and Hawaii Five­O, where, he says, he coined the term, “Book ‘em, Danno.” Jerry Ludwig lives in Carmel, California.

Robert the Bruce Jack Whyte

The second novel in Jack Whyte’s series chronicling the lives of the three greatest heroes of Scottish history

Robert I, or as he is known to a grateful Scottish nation, Robert the Bruce, was one of Scotland’s greatest kings, as well as one of the most famous warriors of his generation. He spearheaded the valiant Scots in their quest for freedom, leading his people during the Wars of Scottish Independence against the Kingdom of England. His reign saw the recognition of Scotland as an independent nation and today Bruce is remembered in Scotland as a national hero. As a young man, this indomitable fighter saw the English king Edward I award the vacant Crown of Scotland to John Balliol. The nation quickly splintered into factions. Robert and his father first sided with Edward and then against John, whom many of the nobles did not feel was the correct person to guide the nation. Thus began a decades­long path for Scottish freedom. To achieve this goal, Robert sometimes had to delicately balance the power of the nobles against the might of the English. He was a tireless campaigner, and after a full life of battle and diplomacy, in May 1328, King Edward III signed the Treaty of Edinburgh­Northampton, which recognized Scotland as an independent kingdom and Bruce as its king. A passionate man. An incredible warrior. And one of Scotland’s finest.

PRAISE

“Of the scores of novels based on Arthurian legend, Whyte’s Camulod series is distinctive, particularly in the rendering of its leading players and the residual Roman influences that survived in Britain during the Dark Ages.” —The Washington Post on Uther

“Few authors can match Whyte when it comes to epic battle scenes.” —Publishers Weekly on Standard of Honor

“Whyte, a master at painting pictures on an epic­sized canvas, pulls the reader into the story with his usual deft combination of historical drama and old­fashioned adventure.” —Booklist on Knights of the Black and White

JACK WHYTE was born and raised in Scotland and has lived in Canada since 1967. He has been an actor, orator, singer, and poet at various stages of his life, and was awarded an honorary doctorate of letters for his contribution to Canadian popular fiction. Whyte is the author of the internationally bestselling Dream of Eagles series and the Templar trilogy. He lives in Kelowna, British Columbia.

No Job for a Lady Carol McCleary

The world’s most famous reporter, the intrepid Nellie Bly, is on the case again

History, mystery, and murder are the traveling companions of Nellie Bly, the world’s first female investigative reporter. In No Job for a Lady, Nellie defies the wrath of her editor and vengeful ancient gods while setting out to prove a woman has what it takes to be a foreign correspondent in dangerous Victorian times. Pyramids, dark magic, and dead bodies are what the intrepid Nellie encounters when she takes off for Mexico after her editor refuses to let her work as a foreign correspondent because “it’s no job for a lady.” It’s 1886 and Mexico has not cast off all its bloodthirsty Aztec past. Among the towering pyramids in the ghost city of Teotihuacán, Nellie is stalked by ruthless killers seeking Montezuma’s legendary treasure and an ancient cult that resorts to the murderous Way of the Aztec to protect it. Nellie travels with Gertrude Bell, who will go on to be called Queen of the Desert for her later exploits in Egypt, as well as the most glamorous and beautiful woman of the era, Lily Langtry, consort to the Prince of Wales. Along for the ride is a young gunfighter called the Sundance Kid. And there’s the mysterious Roger Watkins, who romantically and physically challenges Nellie’s determination to be an independent woman in a man’s world.

PRAISE

For The Formula for Murder “The story is sprightly and delightful.” —RT Book Reviews “The book’s main draw remains Nellie—brash, confrontational, decisive and even romantic.” —Publishers Weekly “An action­packed tale that once again uses famous persona as key players who also anchor time and place. This fast­paced mystery grips readers from start to finish, but Nellie not only keeps it focused, she brings energy and enthusiasm to the engaging historical.” —Midwest Book Review

CAROL MCCLEARY was born in Seoul, South Korea, and lived in Hong Kong, Japan, and the Philippines. She now lives on Cape Cod in an antique house that is haunted by ghosts. McCleary is the author of The Alchemy of Murder, The Illusion of Murder, and The Formula for Murder.

Margaret Truman's Undiplomatic Murder A Capital Crimes Novel

Margaret Truman, Donald Bain

The next installment in the New York Times bestselling Capital Crimes series

Private investigator Robert Brixton has always hated Washington. Against his better judgment, he decides to stick around and take a job as an agent in a new State Department security agency headed by his former boss at the Washington P.D. After work one day he meets his youngest daughter, Janet, for a drink at an outdoor cafe. Shockingly, a young Arabic woman blows herself up, killing Janet and a dozen others. Seeking revenge for his daughter, Brixton follows the tracks of the bomber to a powerful senator’s son. Brixton finds himself digging deep into what turns out to be a small but powerful cabal whose goal is to kill embassy workers from nations involved in the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan.

PRAISE

“Truman ‘knows the forks’ in the nation’s capital and how to pitchfork her readers into a web of murder and detection.” —The Christian Science Monitor “Truman has produced another knowing look at Washington politics. She, of all people, should know her characters well, and she draws them with style.” —The Dallas Morning News on Murder at Union Station “Truman can write suspense with the best of them.” —Larry King “A dazzling series.” —The Atlantic Journal­Constitution

MARGARET TRUMAN won faithful readers with her works of biography and fiction, particularly her Capital Crimes mysteries. Her novels let readers into the corridors of power and privilege, and poverty and pageantry, in the nation’s capital. DONALD BAIN, the author of 115 books, including forty of the bestselling Murder, She Wrote novels, was a longtime friend of Margaret Truman. He worked closely with her on her novels, and more than anyone understood the spirit and substance of her books.

Now and in the Hour of Our Death Patrick Taylor

A convicted IRA bombmaker escapes from prison, throwing his former fiancee’s life into chaos

Patrick Taylor’s first novel of the Irish Troubles, Pray for Us Sinners, introduced us to Provisional IRA bombmaker Davy MacCutcheon and the love of his life, Fiona Kavanagh. Davy planned to leave the Provos after one final mission. But the deadly mission backfired, and Davy ended up in prison. Six years later, Fiona Kavanagh has and found sanctuary in Vancouver, Canada. But news of a breakout at the Maze prison brings back memories she thought she’d left behind. Especially when she discovers that Davy is one of the escapees. Davy's desparate to go to Canada, but in exchange for the forged documents he needs to join Fiona, he must help one final attack against the British soldiers. Can Davy's love for Fiona transcend his commitment to a cause that led to his imprisonment? Will Davy threaten the peace Fiona has found in Canada? And does Fiona want him to? From secret IRA meetings in tense County Tyrone to the easy tranquility of Vancouver, Patrick Taylor describes with delicate precision and painstaking detail the events that set the escape plan in motion. This is a haunting, exaltant prayer to the lives of those bound by the ties of patriotism and the intimate battles we fight to release our hearts from the fetters of love and loyalty.

PRAISE

“Pray for Us Sinners is written with heartfelt urgency to explain Ulster rather than demonize the place and the population. A deeply felt thriller and a very valuable one.” —The Globe and Mail

PATRICK TAYLOR, M.D., was born and raised in Bangor, County Down, in Northern Ireland. Dr. Taylor is a distinguished medical researcher, offshore sailor, model­boat builder, and father of two grown children. He now lives on Saltspring Island, British Columbia. www.patricktaylor.ca

Strangers Bill Pronzini

My profession, bottom line, is helping people in trouble. It’s not just a job to me, it’s what I live for

Cody Hatcher is the kind of teenager you don’t want your kids hanging out with. That’s the book on him and it’s why the citizens of Mineral Springs have no problem at all believing that he’s guilty of three rapes. His mother, Cheryl, an old lover of Nameless, is being harassed by vindictive townspeople. It’s against such odds that he must work to prove Cody innocent. There are few to help him and plenty to get in his way. It’s a classic situation for an iconic private investigator.

PRAISE

“One of the best in the mystery­suspense field.” —The Washington Post Book World “Pronzini is a pro at PI Fiction.” —Library Journal on Schemers “Pronzini constructs his sturdy plot with top­quality materials, including spit­polished dialogue and loathsome villains who actually giggle as they crack their victims’ bones. And Bill is still a terrific hero.” —The New York Times Book Review on Nightcrawlers

“Pronzini is a genuine storyteller, and he hasn’t disappointed us yet.” —Statesman Journal on Nightcrawlers

BILL PRONZINI has been nominated for, or won, every prize offered to crime fiction writers, including the 2008 Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America. It is no wonder, then, that Detroit Free Press said of him“It’s always nice to see masters at work. Pronzini’s clear style seamlessly weaves [storylines] together, turning them into a quick, compelling read.” He lives and writes in California, with his wife, the crime novelist Marcia Muller.

Deadout Jon McGoran

The thrilling follow­up to Jon McGoran's Drift

A trip to an island off the New England coast—and away from the demands of police work—might be just what is needed to jumpstart Detective Doyle Carrick and Nola Watkins’ stalled relationship. But a mysterious plague is killing the island’s bees. Nola takes a job at an organic farm hit hard by the disease, working for the rich, handsome, and annoying Teddy, with whom she quickly becomes a little too friendly for Doyle’s liking. When Teddy’s estranged father offers Doyle a big payday to keep his son out of trouble until he can close a big government contract—and when Doyle meets Annalisa, a beautiful researcher studying the bees—Doyle decides to stick around. Stoma Corporation, a giant biotech company, moves in with genetically modified super bees that supposedly are the answer to the world’s bee crisis. As tension grows between protestors and a private army of thugs, Doyle realizes that bees aren’t the only thing being modified. Annalisa’s coworkers start to go missing, and she and Doyle uncover a dark, deadly, and terrifying secret. Things spin violently out of control on the tiny island, and when Doyle closes in on what Stoma Corporation is really up to, he must race to stop them before their plot succeeds, and spreads to the mainland and the world.
