Panic Attack (2021)
(Daniel Rinaldi Mystery, book 6)
Dennis Palumbo
"Brilliant rationality trying to protect innocent victims from ferocious madness. Dennis Palumbo's Head Wounds is a spectacular ride."
thumb
The Last Exit (2021)
(Jen Lu Mystery, book 1)
Michael Kaufman
"The Last Exit hits hard. Fast action—a melding of the mental and physical—keeps this smart futuristic thriller racing, and its contemporary implications keep the reader thinking."
thumb
Anonymous (2020)
(Madison Kelly Mystery, book 1)
Elizabeth Breck
"Anonymous has suspense, action, and investigation that's believable, carried out by an appealing and very human female investigator in one of the most beautiful towns in the country. This will be the start of a terrific series."
