Mystery Thriller & Suspense

Catnip (Dunbarton Mysteries Book 1) by Valerie Tate

What can go wrong when an elderly matriarch leaves the family fortune to her cat?

Just about everything, including ‘catnapping’ and murder!

CATNIP is a mystery set in the picturesque town of Dunbarton, Ontario, and tells the story of what befalls the dysfunctional Dunbar family, and the chaos that ensues, when the matriarch of the clan leaves the family fortune to her cat.

That formidable feline proves to be more than a match for the humans in his life, until one fateful night when, caught unawares, he is stuffed in a sack and carried away.

A nosy neighbor with a nasty, suspicious mind points the finger of suspicion at the Dunbars and Christopher Mallory, the young attorney who is the trustee of the estate, and under the terms of the will, they face losing everything.

When a murder occurs, Christopher finds himself confronting a ruthless killer who would do anything to conceal his or her identity, including to kill again.

The Haven by Graham Diamond

After hundreds of years of scheming and waiting, creatures are set to come surging across the broad land to the very outskirts of the remaining bastion of human life.

They were a howling horde of cunning wild dogs and savage, blood-thirsty bats united now with only one goal in mind — to destroy their enemy: thousands of doomed men, women and children.

It would be a massacre so vicious, so horrible and so complete that they would finally be able to rule the world unopposed forever.

It is up to one young man to lead a small expedition of hardy warriors against them. Together they must find a way out to rescue humanity from the savage claws of these unstoppable beasts.

But they are greatly outnumbered, and they are all alone.

Fate and prophecy are now their only hope.

And one man is all that stands between them and oblivion…

The Haven is a gripping fantasy thriller and cult classic from renowned author Graham Diamond.

Elvis Has Not Left the Building by J.R. Rain

From J.R. Rain, the international #1 bestselling author of over seventy novels, comes the epic standalone mystery thriller that asks the question: what if Elvis faked his death?

It’s tough being the King.

Which is why in 1977 Elvis faked his own death and endured massive facial reconstruction surgery, and disappeared from the limelight to live a normal life as the unassuming Aaron King. Unfortunately, leaving fame behind also meant leaving his fortune behind, too, and now Elvis finds himself broke and living in near poverty in a small apartment in Los Angeles. Luckily for him, it turns out he’s a pretty good private investigator.

Now in his seventies and contemplating a return to music (discreetly, of course), Elvis is hired to solve a baffling missing person case. The King digs deeper, and soon finds himself surrounded by the seedier elements of Los Angeles, from nefarious Hollywood producers who prey upon the young, to twin brothers with a very dark secret.

And as Elvis pieces the bizarre puzzle together, he slowly makes his singing comeback–and will be reunited on stage with someone even the King himself never dreamed possible.

BMOC by Warren Meyer

Can popularity be sold off the rack, like a pair of jeans? That is what Susan Hunter and startup company “BMOC” set out to discover in this humorous and light-hearted mystery and suspense novel set in the modern world of entrepreneurs, media barons, and millionaire tort lawyers.

After her parents died in a horribly public act of random violence, Susan backed away from the world, getting by on the minimum of effort and shying away from any type of relationship. Susan’s journey back begins when she becomes intrigued with quirky entrepreneur Preston Marsh, who has made a fortune pursuing oddball business models. Whether harvesting coins from fountains or selling musical tones, Marsh’s passion is contagious. Susan quickly finds herself truly engaged in her work for the first time in years, helping Marsh build his new company BMOC (which stands for Big Man on Campus) into the one-stop shop for teenage popularity.

Unfortunately, BMOC has made powerful enemies by threatening the profits of large media companies that advertise to teens. Several media barons conspire to murder a young LA client of BMOC named Monica Silverberg, making it look like suicide, and creating an orchestrated firestorm of media outrage, class action lawsuits, and Congressional legislation aimed at toppling BMOC. Susan rushes to LA to run the company’s response to this public relations nightmare, but quickly finds herself running for her life.

The girl next door, my best friend’s little sister, was there waiting. And she’s all grown up.

She’s gonna be mine. Like she always has been.

Aster Wood and the Lost Maps of Almaraby J. B. Cantwell

Magic. Adventure. Danger.

No one on Earth knows where Aster Wood is going next.

A heart condition and a jerk of a father meant twelve-year-old Aster Wood had plenty of problems to deal with already. They were the complaints of a human kid with a broken family and an uncertain future.

But now, stranded on another planet, it turns out Aster’s not quite as human as he, and everyone around him, believed. On the planets within the Maylin Fold, Aster’s ancestors have a long history of magical dealings, and he’s the last in the line who can solve the riddle of where the famous sorcerer, Almara, disappeared to two hundred years ago.

But Cadoc, the raving commander who has long sought to stamp out all knowledge of Almara, has caught wind of Aster’s plans. He joins the hunt, only it’s Aster he seeks. If he can’t sway the boy to unite with him, then his head on a spike will have to do.

Aster needs to get back to Earth, NOW.

Unfortunately, Cadoc seems to be the only Mayliner with the power to send him home. Without the tyrant’s help, any chance of seeing the fractured remains of his family again will evaporate, and he could be trapped in Maylin forever.

Aster is certain that finding Almara is the key to making his way home, if he, or any of his followers, are still alive.

But Cadoc draws ever closer, and the madman’s noose grows tighter around Aster’s neck with each step he takes along the trail Almara left behind.
