Unanswered Cries by Thomas French

T he night she was attacked in her Florida home, Karen Gregory let out a scream so piercing that it carried for several blocks. More than a dozen neighbors heard her, but none called the police. By the time her body was discovered, thirty one hours later, the trail was already cold. The detective assigned to solve the murder ran down one blind alley after another, eliminating one suspect after another, until finally the evidence led him to the front door of one of his best friends — a friend whose wedding ceremony he had officiated over just a few months before. At first the detective didn’t want to believe it. But as the mystery deepened, he found himself studying his friend’s hands, trying to tell if they were the same size as the bloody handprints left on Karen’s leg.

Panic (A Leopold Blake Thriller) by Nick Stephenson

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

S wift. Silent. Deadly.
Leopold Blake, expert criminology consultant for the FBI, had his weekend all planned out – and it didn’t involve dealing with a murdered senator, a high-profile kidnapping, and at least half a dozen near-death experiences. Three politicians have been murdered in as many weeks, all expertly dispatched, and only Leopold can get to the bottom of it. Unfortunately, as all hell breaks loose on the streets of New York City, he soon finds himself the next target of a powerful enemy who wants him silenced. Permanently.
Against the backdrop of political corruption and murder, Leopold and his team must fight for their lives to uncover the truth before it’s too late. Panic is the first novel in the Leopold Blake series of thrillers.
***
Interview with the author
Tell us a little about your novel, Panic, and what inspired the concept?
The book has been described as “Sherlock Holmes meets Die Hard” and I think this sums up what I wanted to achieve perfectly – a blend of classic mystery and procedural, with the butt-kicking action and edge-of-your-seat tension of your typical action thriller. The novel is around 60,000 words long and contains scenes of violence and occasional bad language – so it’s definitely not recommended for children.
Which character from Panic did you enjoy writing about the most? Could you tell us a little about them?
There are three main protagonists within the series; Leopold Blake, Mary Jordan and Jerome. Leopold is definitely the brains of the operation, with Jerome and Mary providing the brawn and heart, respectively. Jerome is Leopold’s loyal bodyguard, expertly trained and there to get him out of some of the stickier situations. Mary is a police sergeant with the NYPD and generally has a skeptical view of Leopold’s approach to crime-solving, but sticks by his side nonetheless. There’s definitely a spark between them, but you’ll have to read on to see where it goes…
Can you tell us what’s going to happen next in the Leopold Blake series?
Having set up Leopold with all his advantages, in the upcoming books I’ve thoroughly enjoyed exercising my slightly sadistic side by taking them all away, one by one. By book three, the reader gets to see what Leopold’s really made of, once all the money and connections are stripped away. The result won’t be pretty, but it’ll make for a darn good read!

B en Anderson goes to bed Sunday night, lying next to his wife in the comfort and safety of their Pennsylvania family home, to wake up the next day in a rundown motel in California — alone.

He doesn’t know how he got there, he doesn’t know where his family is, and written in dried blood on the bathroom door are the words LET THE GAME BEGIN.

Soon Ben is contacted by Simon. Simon knows all there is to know about Ben, more than he cares to remember himself.

If Ben wants to save himself and his family, he will have to do everything Simon says.

As the game begins — with stakes much higher than either man can imagine — no one knows where it will lead or how it will end.

Only one thing is for certain: this time the game will change everything.

Man of Wax is 80,000 words long and the first book in a thriller trilogy where every day men and women must fight a power that threatens to destroy the world. Recommended for fans of Harlan Coben, Michael Marshall, and Dean Koontz.
