Book Description
A beloved husband scientist is shot in Maui’s peaceful ‘Iao Valley. Olympic athletes are killed on luxury cruises around the world. Can two of Maui’s finest stop the violence? Detective Sergeant Keone Boyd travels to the Mediterranean with his new bride, while in Maui, his boss Tony Alcala investigates a horrific shooting in the normally peaceful ‘Iao Valley. Since the victim is a former neighbor of his protégé, Sgt. Angela Beyers, Alcala gives her the case. During her investigation, Angela discovers a file on the victim’s computer with clues to the shooting. But the file was saved while the victim was in a coma and no one else had access. So who left the clues? And how? As Angela investigates, Keone honeymoons on a luxury cruise but is soon recruited by Europol to investigate a serial killer methodically eliminating Olympic athletes. The killer, who claims to be the Greek god of death, has targeted a group of Canadian Olympic medalists on the ship. Does the computer file contain actual memories or a vivid fantasy? Is a mythical god sending athletes to Elysium, or is a deranged maniac murdering them? Are the investigations related or are the lines between reality and fantasy dissolving both on Maui and twelve time zones away? Join Maui’s finest as they investigate the most controversial—and dangerous—cases of their careers. "Rick Ludwig has done it again!

Eyes of the Beholder is a gripping read that leaves you wondering what comes next.” Kenneth Andrus, author of Arctic Menace

Taming the Alien
Author: Ken Bruen
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1453289003
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Cops Roberts and Brant come back swinging in book two of the “hip, violent and funny” crime novel trilogy set on “the mean streets of southeast London” (Publishers Weekly). South London’s Chief Inspector Roberts and his partner, the reckless and thuggish Irish Detective Sergeant Brant, are at odds with who has it worse: Roberts, with a mortgage in Dulwich, a pregnant daughter in boarding school, and a dire medical diagnosis; or Brant, relegated to desk duty after getting knifed in the back, and living to see his complete Ed McBain collection destroyed by a psycho with a baseball bat. That particular nut job has been dubbed the Alien, a hit man so named for carrying out a skull-smashing job while watching Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic, and hanging around in the spatter to finish the film. But this time the carnage isn’t confined to southeast London. As Brant heads to New York by way of Dublin to catch the couple who knifed him and the Alien goes to San Francisco to pay a surprise visit to his former girlfriend, Bruen’s broad, brutal canvas once again shows why he’s been hailed as one of “the most original and innovative noir voices of the last two decades” (Los Angeles Times Book Review).

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 539
Book Description
“Hip, violent and funny vignettes of the mean streets of southeast London tie together this rowdy set of short novels” from the Irish crime writer (Publishers Weekly). At sixty-two, Chief Inspector Roberts is nearly too old to be a cop, but he makes up for his age with a ferocity that the younger detectives cannot match. After four decades on the force, he has a daughter who hates him, a wife who cheats, and a bank account that grows emptier every year. But on London’s darker streets, Roberts is a force to be reckoned with. With his partner, the gleefully brutal Detective Sergeant Brant, Roberts looks for every policeman’s dream: the White Arrest, a high-profile success that makes up for all their past failures. In A White Arrest, their target is a bat-wielding lunatic who knocks off drug dealers. In Taming the Alien, they hunt a mysterious hit man who earned his nickname by carrying out a hit while watching Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic. And in The McDead, Roberts and Brant set their sights on a cunning kingpin ruling London’s southeast side. Gripping and gritty, Ken Bruen’s White Trilogy is an unforgettable noir portrait of London’s seedy underworld.
