THE PARACHUTIST’S DAUGHTER by CSP McNulty

“ A fast-paced and deeply enjoyable debut novel…” KIRKUS REVIEWS

Gabriella, a striking, thirty year old Austrian Holocaust survivor is the driving force behind a secret Jewish organization (Nokmim) that hunts down Nazi criminals for the singular purpose of retribution. But her group, and much of the purpose of her life, is dying out. Flush with the success of capturing Adolf Eichmann in Argentina in 1960, Gabriella’s compatriots are turning away from the unsavory, back alley justice that is her specialty. Resistant to the changing tides, Gabriella heads to Central America on what could be her final assignment; tracking down Friedrich Guderian, an SS Major renowned for brutality in Chelmno and Treblinka concentration camps. Her search leads her to the Central Highlands of Nicaragua, where she crosses paths with Christian Logansfriar, a German missionary. Gabriella is forced to take up residence in a remote village while she tries to determine if Christian, a seemingly good and devout Catholic priest, is in fact the Nazi butcher, Friedrich Guderian.

Boxes For Beds by Maryann Miller

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Mystery, Historical, Thrillers, Suspense

I n this historical mystery, set in Arkansas in 1961 when the mob still ruled Hot Springs, babies are being kidnapped, and the local sheriff has to put this case to bed before the bosses come down from Chicago. They don’t need the heat, and they have the leverage with the sheriff to make him do whatever they want. It seems like a good move to arrest Leslie Richards, the new woman in town, even though there is only thin circumstantial evidence against her. Better for it to be a stranger taking those babies and not one of their own.

Leslie has left New York with her ten-year-old daughter, Mandy, hoping to escape from her past and the ruins of a relationship, only to discover that there is little peace for her in Pine Hollow, Arkansas.

Colorful Toys In A Broken World by Casey Harris

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Coming of Age, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy, Paranormal

A n innocent child, upon whom nothing less than the fate of humanity seems to depend, receives a dark, oddly shaped gift from a mysterious stranger. It is the first person other than her mother that she has met in years, the two of them having been forced into hidden seclusion after wars and civil collapse wrecked havoc on the planet, and after her father was assassinated for his role in trying to prevent it.

Now, they wait, and prepare, for the moment when she is old enough to return and take back the Trident, a collection of three massive farm towers, capable of feeding tens of thousands, though is used now only to maintain the power of men with no interest in philanthropy towards those who can give nothing in return.

Meanwhile, a boy who has spent much of his life within the comfort and safety of the Trident tries to change this from the inside. This is done by instigating the Lord Mayor and the rest of the population into letting him, under the close watch of the Mayor’s son and Captain of the Trident Guard, Red Kylus, dispatch a relatively miniscule amount of the Trident’s excess production capabilities into the surrounding city, known as Vera Domus.

Yet, as fate would have it, both of their ventures seemed to be doomed from the beginning, in a world where evil appears to roam freely, unbound by the rule of law or reason. As the gift turns out to be something quite different from a gift, as Red Kylus’ rabid power lust is turned against the small, impoverished community outside of the Trident, and as day turns into night, all ideas of hope and justice seem to shrink away, like a wounded animal, until nothing remains.

Nothing, but the will to survive.

3 DAY SALE!
DEADLY COAST @ only $1.99! 60% off the regular price!

DUGAN THOUGHT SOMALI PIRATES WERE BAD NEWS. THEN IT GOT WORSE.

In the wake of his best-selling thriller Deadly Straits, newcomer R.E. McDermott is back with an action-packed sequel.

As Tom Dugan and Alex Kairouz, his partner and best friend, struggle to ransom their ship and crew from murderous Somali pirates, things take a turn for the worse. A US Navy contracted tanker with a full load of jet fuel is also hijacked, not by garden variety pirates, but by terrorists with links to Al Qaeda, changing the playing field completely.

With a link between piracy and terrorism now in play, the US and British goverments order the halt of all negotiations for captive ships, and enraged pirates ratchet up the mistreatment of captive crews. When a crewman is murdered in front of him on a live video feed, a frustrated Dugan starts his own rescue operation, only to stumble across something far more sinister — a rogue salvage operation for a long lost weapon of mass destruction. Isolated at sea on an old tanker previously destined for the ship breakers, Dugan and his hastily assembled little force of Russian mercenaries find themselves the last line of defense between the world and a terrifying bio-weapon.

Weaving historical fact with speculative fiction, Deadly Coast takes the reader from London board rooms into the very real world of modern day pirates — and their victims.

Reader Comments (Excerpts from Amazon reviews. Read full reviews below.)

I stumbled upon McDermott’s work via an Amazon recommendation. He’s an equal with WEB Griffin (one of my favorites), Cussler, and Clancy. You won’t be disappointed.
Brian

A rip-roaring thriller!
Captain Chris

As a Clancy/Griffin fan, I was skeptical, but the book came through as described. I really enjoyed it.
Indiver

I was blown away! Right up there with Tom Clancy and WEB Griffin.
MCole

Mr. McDermott knows his subject, intimately. Everything rings absolutely true. It’s like early Clancy.
Ross G. Gauld

McDermott just gets better and better. As good as Clancy in his early years (which were his best), with characters that are believable and a plot as modern as today.
James A. Kennedy

An excellent effort. In the style of Cussler, and every bit as interesting.
Douginarizona

Up 2 nights in a row until 2 AM. It equals Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler.
Thomas Rears

I am a huge fan of Tom Clancy, and this work fits right in.
Lesley Martin

In a league with Cussler, Wilber Smith, and MacLean. A great storyteller.
Vinu Raman

In Deadly Coast, McDermott continues his wonderfully timely, sobering exploration of the world of maritime piracy in and around the Gulf of Aden. A scintillating mix of brigands, treasure hunters, Spetznaz, US Navy — and Tom Dugan’s crew of unlikely heroes.
Finback

Couldn’t wait to read the next page! McDermott ranks with Clancy, Silva, Flynn, and CJ Box.
LTC Mike S.

If you like Cussler you’ll love these books! Great action, and great story lines I couldn’t put down. Can’t wait for the next book!
Actionfan

The character development is excellent and the plot totally credible. The pace is rapid and steady as a heartbeat. And in a fashion on which McDermott seems to hold the patent, revenge is extracted – deliciously.
Budd Cardone

I’m a voracious reader, and follow many authors. Deadly Coast will not disappoint fans of popular authors such as Clancy, Cussler, Matthew Reilly, etc.
Greg Bell

Deadly Coast is just as good as the best Cussler and better than most other sea stories.
Neptune

I recommend all action junkies add another author to the list with Flynn, Griffin, Cussler, Clancy, and now, McDermott.
Peppi

McDermott hit a home run with Deadly Straits and he turns around and does it again with Deadly Coast. I have a few authors that I like and read everything they write. Specifically Clancy, Cussler, and Dale Brown. Now I have another.

Weekend in Weighton by Terry Murphy

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Mystery, Hard-Boiled, Crime

F irst-time private investigator Eddie Greene is having a bad weekend. It’s about to get worse …

When he finds the slab-cold body of his first client, he knows something’s up – he only spoke to her fifteen minutes earlier.

Free-wheeling, swash-buckling, trash-talking Eddie is not just out of place in a humdrum northern town. He’s out of his depth on his first case, out of funds from a now deceased client and out of favour with Weighton’s big society.

As Friday night slides into Saturday morning, each twist in the case turns a bad situation worse; the police want him for murder, the local crime boss wants him dead, the mayor wants him out of town and his girlfriend wants him out of her life.

Increasingly desperate, Eddie takes on all-comers in a barnstorming bid to crack the case and clear his name. And somewhere between all the froth and fury, his affections are reclaimed by the girl who got away – but will she abide ‘til Monday?

“Great fun with some cracking jokes – ‘this femme is fatale’ being my favourite – it reminded me of the Lynne Truss serial on Radio 4.” Sue Fletcher, Deputy MD, Hodder & Stoughton

“Faultless – engaging, controlled, visual and fast-paced. Lots of action and a strong sense of tongue-in-cheek.” Caroline Smailes, Harper Collins author, ‘In Search of Adam’
