  • Lawrence Kelter - Free Fall
    May 2 2026


    Sonny Rojas is twenty feet from famous, rubbing elbows with rock gods like Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix when his number is called. A night jump gone bad results in a devastating injury, followed by bungled surgery and dependence on painkillers.


    Busted at JFK after a stint working for George Harrison, Sonny is faced with a choice: prison or cooperation with the FBI in a drug smuggling operation.


    Thrust into a world he doesn’t belong, Sonny uses his near-famous status to infiltrate the operation of a rock star wannabe drug lord, in the process endangering his life and the lives of his loved ones.


    In way over his head, the desperate rocker sinks deeper and deeper into a world from which there is no return.

  • Erik D'Souza - Death On The Rocks
    Apr 30 2026

    In the mood for an idyllic escape? Death on the Rocks will transport you right to the sunshine coast, where a community theatre event finds its members dying, and only senior citizen sleuth Suzanne must use her experience and intuition to follow the all too human twists to the real killer, before the company runs out of understudies.


    Delightful summer read!


    - Iona Whishaw, best-selling author of the Lane Winslow mystery series.


    Every amateur detective secretly believes they are smarter than the police. Suzanne Rickson doesn't think that. She has faith in Sergeant Bridges' assessment that the director of their seniors’ theatre troupe, the beloved Wilbur Ghostkeeper, most likely slipped and perished on the rocky shoreline of the Salish Sea.


    But Suzanne quickly regrets her naïveté after Wilbur’s widow is violently robbed and assaulted.

  • Faye Snowden - A Killing Breath
    Apr 14 2026

    Dark, Southern gothic tale of homicide detective Raven Burns, with a complicated past and a desperate case to solve. Black Girls Lit recommends the first book, A Killing Fire "to crime fiction and mystery lovers and fans of Ruth Ware and Gillian Flynn.”


    “Full-bodied and dynamic characters carry this one along a mystery, tying a brutal past with a bloody present that will keep you guessing right up to the finale.” — Unnerving Magazine on Book 1 in the series.


    Raven Burns owes her life to the kind souls who looked after her while her father, unbeknownst to them, sowed a path of blood and bodies from California to Louisiana as one of the most notorious serial killers ever known, Floyd “Fire” Burns. When Raven was a girl, Floyd brutally murdered one of those kind souls, Miss Ruth Jefferson, when the woman made the fatal decision to open the door to him on a pitch-black 4th of July night. As Raven learned of her father’s crimes, she vowed to do everything in her power to put men like him away. Decades later Raven’s hunt for a serial killer terrorizing the town leads her right back to that 4th of July night, and a memory that will make her question how much Floyd’s evil has settled in her bones.
