Deception in Savannah
by
Charles Dougherty

DescriptionConnie Barrera is ready to move on. She’s the business partner and mistress of a married doctor who runs a weight loss clinic, but she wants out. He’s not willing to buy her shares, so she resorts to extortion. The doctor has recently killed a pedestrian in a hit-and-run accident to which the only witness other than Connie is a street hustler with attention deficit disorder and a photographic memory.

The Last American Martyr
by
Tom Winton

DescriptionTom Soles was an unemployed doorman when he wrote a book that rocked the nation. Entitled Enough is Enough it revealed the truth about who was really at fault for the unfair spread of wealth in America. Working folks adored it; the upper echelon hated it. Either way it was viewed, it became a best seller and won him the Nobel Prize for Literature.

When we first meet Tom, he is using an assumed name and all the local townsfolk consider him a hermit. But after a visit from his mail carrier, Jake Snow, we begin to learn more about the man that Jake also had written off as a recluse. Jake has plenty of time and questions, and as he begins to get answers, the two men quickly strike up a close friendship. Then Tom gives Jake an opportunity. He offers to let him read a memoir he's been working on. Jake accepts, and we begin a story within a story.

What happened between writing that blockbuster book and Tom ending up as a hermit? Jake and the reader are both in for quite a ride! Part mystery, part romance, part drama--The Last American Martyr has it all.

The Last Prophet
by
Tim Heath

DescriptionJohn awakes to find himself in a hospital bed with no memory of how he got there. Then the visions start. Destruction and death. A last chance. The only one who can save millions of people. He is no hero.

Could he do what was being asked of him?

The President
by
Johnny T. Noctor

DescriptionWhen The Hobo tries to get justice for his fractured skull and brain damage caused by a coward punch, the Hobart police refuse to arrest the perpetrator. Instead the cops relentlessly try to entrap the innocent victim, giving him no choice but to sleep in the woods on the mainland. In order to stay sober, The Hobo campaigns in four Australian States as a preferred party of AA, and spars in the hardest gyms with great Australian fighters. Even when fit and sober, he realizes that without the puppet master, he’ll never get to fight in Australia ever again. Desperate to earn money for his wife and baby, and not wanting to fall off the wagon, the homeless boxer gives this promoter one last chance to do the right thing. All the while, America’s great, lightning-fast fighter flies to Australia, straight into the eye of a Hobo tornado.

A Soul Defiled
by
Billy Ray Chitwood

DescriptionBailey's intent is fun and sun on the beautiful Sea of Cortez, but an old friend's request for help changes his immediate plans: the Homeowners Association at the lovely Mar y Sol resort is experiencing some financial problems and its treasurer has just been murdered. His friend's request for assistance leads to some very scary moments for our southern sleuth. Kidnapped twice, battered, bruised, Bailey finds it all in this caper --- murder, money laundering scams, and betrayal. There is a man of intrigue that brings another dimension to the story, and the climatic ending to the tale is riveting, bringing with it an emotional catharsis for our hero. Bailey goes through the mazes, eventually finds his bad guys but he is left with the knowledge that friendship can be fragile and tentative.

DescriptionA Samantha Jamison Mystery Book 3

★★★★★ EDITED BY AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR & EDITOR, WINSLOW ELIOT

SERIES: #1 THE PUZZLE is (FREE) #2 WITHOUT ANY WARNNG #3, 86 AVENUE DU GOULET #4 A LETHAL TIME #5 MOUTH OF THE RAT #6 DEATH KNELL IN THE ALPS #7 NO HOPE IN NEW HOPE & MEMOIR:THE RIVIERA IS BURNING

REVIEWERS:
"original style" "protagonist talks turns around and talks to the reader."
"You come away feeling like you know the people in her books personally."
“This 3rd novel by Peggy Edelheit is like the first 2, hard to put down!”
“I like the twists and turns in the plots. The characters are fun and believable.”
"I have read everyone of her books and love them all.”
“The villain's identity was a well-kept secret until the end.”
"The third Samantha Jamison Mystery is a fast-moving, unpredictable, totally enjoyable novel.”
"Never saw the end coming! I can't wait for the next adventure!”

***In between writing novels all I wanted was to visit my friend, Martine, enjoy the sun, the Mediterranean and the French Riviera. But then Martine insisted I come sooner to help her, saying she'd explain in more detail once I arrived. Strange things were going on in the mysterious gardens of 86 Avenue du Goulet next door. I agreed. But once there after renting this empty villa, I became ensnared in a deadly maze of misdirection, hostility, lies and a history of buried secrets and intrigue: a French gardener, a cat lady and the mysterious house of red light.
