The Jan Larkin Mysteries Vol. 1
Author: Stephen Burdick
Publisher: Down & Out Books
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Detective Jan Larkin’s career with the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office is rife with success. But an elevated level of achievement comes at a high personal price. “Echoes of Janie” begins with Jan summoned by her partner, Detective Seeward Sinclair, to examine a body on the shore behind a condominium in Madeira Beach. Jan’s exasperation at having her day off interrupted turns to dismay when the victim turns out to be Janie Ballantine, daughter of District Attorney David Ballantine. Hearing of his daughter’s murder devastates Ballantine, disrupting his prosecution of crime boss Colby Rittenhouse. As Jan and Seeward delve further into their investigation, a suspect quickly emerges. Daniel Peck, Janie’s boyfriend, can’t seem to recall what happened between him and Janie the night she was murdered. Evidence uncovered later points directly to Peck. Although Seeward is certain Peck is the killer, Jan begins to question certain pieces of evidence. Days later, when one of Janie’s neighbors reports having seen a stranger milling around the condominium shortly before Janie’s murder, the detectives’ interest shifts to a bodyguard of Colby Rittenhouse. “The Original Thirteen Murders” has Jan called upon to investigate the discovery of a winter visitor found dead on the beach. No leads or witnesses to the case doesn’t help matters. The second murder, a young woman visiting her grandparents, provides Jan with a suspect. Time works against Jan, increasing her frustration, until she learns of similar details of other unsolved murders in the area. Playing a hunch, Jan proposes an unusual scenario that suggests a serial killer might be on the loose. Who the killer might be and where he might strike next is the problem facing her. “Shadow Of Deceit” finds Jan looking into the murder of a retired police lieutenant from Michigan. Digging further into his background, she finds his career has been tainted. An unproven association with organized crime makes her suspicious of his lavish lifestyle. Another search of his condominium uncovers a hidden information disc. The encrypted message on the disc reveals the names of the victim and four other men, their bank accounts in the Cayman Islands, and the amount of money in each account. The murders continue but the reason for the elimination of those named on the disc remains unknown until Jan receives a phone call from an unlikely source. Critical Acclaim for The Jan Larkin Mysteries: “The Jan Larkin Mysteries combines the depth of classic noir with the intrigue of contemporary police procedurals to deliver three gripping novellas right up to the jagged coast of the Florida Gulf. With this latest offering, Stephen Burdick is proving his voice among the ranks of Sunshine Noir authors.” —Steph Post, author of Lightwood

Book Description
Most towns have their secrets. In the 1930s, Port St. Joe, on the Gulf in Florida's panhandle, had more than its share. Morphine-addicted old Doc Berber, the town's only general practitioner, thought he knew most of them. But a murder out at the Cape San Blas lighthouse pulled him into series of intrigues that even he did not know how to cure. But first, of course, he needed to follow the biblical injunction: Physician, heal thyself.

Operation Snow Queen
Author: Colin Campbell
Publisher: Down & Out Books
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
“You could well be the worst typist in the Corps. Which is a shame because you could have been one of the best soldiers I ever trained.” Sgt Hopkins looked at Pte Grant. “Being good at weapons drills and unarmed combat isn’t everything. But what you’ve done today. That’s a different matter.” “What have I done today?” “The number one rule of any soldier, combat, clerk or engineer. What every soldier learns. Is that you don’t fight for your government, your queen or your country. You fight for the man beside you. You help dig his trench. You watch his back. And you throw yourself on the grenade to save him.” “I didn’t throw myself on a grenade.” “You ruined your career and your future for the man beside you at Waterloo Station. I hope he appreciates what you’ve done.” 3BAPD, Bracht, Germany Before Snake Pass saw Jim Grant sent to America, and before Jamaica Plain saw Grant recruited by Boston PD, and even before the Black Hawk Down incident when he was in the British Army. Before all of that there was Operation Snow Queen. With only two years’ service, Grant is posted to Germany after a runaway suitcase at Waterloo Station breaks a civilian passenger’s leg. He replaces a Company Clerk who lost his head in an accident, and a smuggling ring that doesn’t want him. Following an explosion at the Ammunition Depot, and a court martial in Dusseldorf, Grant is assigned to a training exercise in Bavaria. A place where landslides and falling off a mountain are the least of his worries. Critical Acclaim for Colin Campbell: “Very real. And very good.” —Lee Child “No one writes better action sequences than Campbell.” —Dana King “There’s nothing soft about Campbell’s writing. If you enjoy your crime fiction hard-boiled, the Jim Grant series is a must read.” —Bruce Robert Coffin, author of the Detective Byron series “A cop with a sharp eye, keen mind, and a lion’s heart.” —Reed Farrel Coleman “Campbell writes smart, rollercoaster tales with unstoppable forward momentum and thrilling authenticity.” —Nick Petrie “Grim and gritty and packed with action.” —Kirkus Review “The pages fly like the bullets, fistfights and one-liners that make this one of my favorite books of the year. Top stuff!” —Matt Hilton “An excellent story well told. A mixture of The Choirboys meets Harry Bosch.” —Michael Jecks “Sets up immediately and maintains a breakneck pace throughout. Its smart structure and unrelenting suspense will please Lee Child fans.” —Library Journal Review “This is police procedural close-up and personal. A strong debut with enough gritty real-ism to make your eyes water, and a few savage laughs along the way.” —Reginald Hill
