Autumn, 1940 – Linda Blanc is found tortured to death in her Gentilly home. New Orlean’s Police Sergeant Isreal Daggett can’t make anything of the black woman’s death until a Treasury Agent arrives on the scene. He lets Daggett know that Linda was the girlfriend of a bootlegger-turned-counterfeiter, one Luis Martinez. Daggett’s first step: find Luis. Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Wesley Farrell is looking for Luis Martinez for his own reasons. Luis is really in hot water. Not only are the cops and Farrell giving chase, but he’s on the run from a blonde Spaniard named Santiago Compasso, the boss of the counterfeiting gang. Luis has run off with the key to the operation – the painstakingly constructed plates that produce twenty- and fifty-dollar bills so good they’ve got the boys at Engraving and Printing jealous. Compasso is worried, not only because his operation is loused up, but because he has someone of his own to answer to… Now Farrell’s in a contest with the police and Compasso to find his amigo and discover the reason behind the doublecross – if a mysterious unseen assassin doesn’t get there ahead of him.

Description

Neuroscientist Edward Armstrong has managed to isolate a psychotropic drug with a strange and dark history – one that may account for the public hysteria during the Salem witch trials. In a brilliant designer-drug transformation, it is developed into an antidepressant with truly startling theraputic capabilities. But who can be sure the drug is safe for consumers? Who defines the boundaries of “normal” human behavior? And if the drug’s side effects are proven to be dangerous – even terrifying – how far will the medical community go to alter their standards of…Acceptable Risk.

Description

What happens when we find love and then fear we’ve lost it for all time? Jamie Stuart, ruthlessly and singlemindedly climbing his way to success as an architect in Glasgow, suddenly finds himself alone. Not that he hadn’t always been alone, but he had believed in a future with Annie Cameron – as long as he didn’t have to make it happen anytime soon. Then, without warning, but through every fault of his own, he has no one – and no future – and both his life and his work begin to crumble. Ordered by the owner of the architectural firm to rehabilitate himself or else, Jamie journeys to Erinsay, an island in the Hebrides, the magical isles on the north and western shores of Scotland. There, by means he cannot understand, he one day finds himself living 150 years ago in a Scottish village, where he’s forced to construct a new identity for himself. And there also, he meets Moragh McPherson, and through her love finds redemption. When her love is taken from him, Jamie begins a quest to recover it.

Robak’s Run

by

Joe L. Hensley

Robak’s old friend and colleague Judge Steinmetz needs his help in the worst way: a $50,000 ransom note for his estranged daughter has landed him in a hospital bed, paralyzed with a stroke. And there are those who are looking to see him stay there…permanently. He hasn’t seen his daughter since she disappeared into the drug scene twelve years ago at the age of nineteen, and the only way he can save himself and his daughter is to call on Robak’s talents. The search for Gail Marie Steinmetz leads Robak into the sleazy netherworld of pimps, hustlers, and junkies who live in the tenderloin district of Capitol City, but the trail gets hotter away from the big city as he is drawn to his boyhood town of Bington. As he gets closer to the answers, the questions start getting dangerous. The people involved in drug-trafficking and the local politicos are starting to look alike and it’s getting hard to tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys. Robak finds himself fighting for his life on his own turf and he’s not sure who the winner will be.
