ow in the middle of her six-month exchange with the Westford Connecticut
Police Department, Scottish Detective Annie Macpherson is barely tying
up the loose ends from her last case when a new one appears. The vicious
murder of a local priest has all the marks of a ritualistic attack, but
what is the motive behind it? Before they can answer that, Annie and
her colleague, Detective Dave Ellison, find they have another body on
their hands whose injuries are too similar for it to be coincidence. And
if that wasn’t enough, Annie’s love life has just got more complicated.
Joined by Detective Bronski, the third member of their team, they
find themselves drawn into a statewide investigation into child
pornography. Their lines of inquiry are tangled by parents who want to
take the law into their own hands, and instances of domestic abuse, not
to mention the question of how high the intrigue goes – can they even
trust their own police chief?
In her second Annie Macpherson novel, Barbara Fagan Speake once
again dissects the issues which drive her characters – the potent themes
of love, revenge and moral ambiguity. The twist here is that we also
see into the mind of the murderer, the desire to observe the reactions
of the victims, and the motivation of those who hide dark secrets behind
the face they present to the world. Views: 163

When assassins kill the person he loves most in the world, Dewey Andreas will risk everything and fight anyone, no matter the cost, for revengeDewey Andreas has been instrumental in stopping a series of deadly terrorist attacks, which hasn't gone unnoticed in the darkened corners around the world. But when Dewey helps uncover Chinese intelligence's highest level asset in Israel's Mossad, he makes himself too much of a danger to ignore. Fao Bhang, head of China's state security, puts an immediate kill order on Andreas. Dewey is tracked to Argentina, where he went with his girlfriend Jessica Tanzer, U.S. National Security Advisor, to witness the signing of a treaty ending Iran's nuclear program. After surviving an attack from an old nemesis, Andreas faces a Chinese kill-team that fails to take him out - but the collateral damage is both horrifying and personal. Never one to turn the other cheek, Andreas starts his revenge by taking out two top deputies to Fao Bhang. Bhang, facing potentially fatal internal opposition due to the diplomatic disaster in Argentina, tries to keep the situation from spiraling out of control. Using the leverage of America's debt to China, Bhang pressures the U.S. not to respond and to repudiate Andreas. Cut loose and now rogue, Andreas faces the full weight and might of Chinese intelligence. Andreas, on the other hand, is determined to bring swift and terrible justice to Fao Bhang - no matter the odds or the armies that he will have to fight his way through. Views: 160
The shiny new charter fishing boat financed with family money was supposed to launch a bright new career for Cape Cod fisherman, diver, and private investigator Aristotle "Soc" Socarides. But when the slip of a beer-oiled tongue brings the ire of a Russian KGB mogul down on his head, Soc finds himself drowning in a sea of troubles. As he looks for a foothold on the sandy shores of Nantucket Island, Soc discovers more than he ever bargained for: a deranged homicide suspect who thinks he's Captain Ahab and Soc is his first mate Starbuck; a high-seas case of murder and cannibalism that still stirs up emotions; a Cold War secret; a missing whaling artifact with a bloody history; and cutting-edge underwater technology with deadly potential. As he gropes his way through the Nantucket fog that shrouds the lonely moors and beaches, Soc will soon discover that "the little, grey lady of the sea," has a dark side the tourists never view, and that a single misstep can be fatal.

Leo Saint-Clair, alias the Nyctalope, was created in 1911 by Jean de La Hire, one of France's most prolific serial writers. Gifted with night vision, hypnotic powers and an artificial heart, Saint-Clair is a fearless hero who battles colorful super-villains. His adventures, which spanned 30 years, created a template that was later adopted by such pulp heroes as Doc Savage (1933), before providing the core mythology of American comic books. In the second part of The Nyctalope on Mars (1911), after defeating the Fifteen, the Nyctalope must then face an ever more fearsome foe: H. G. Wells' Martians. The Nyctalope on Mars predicted the course that popular fiction was to follow in the next 50 years. Brian Stableford. Views: 160
