Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of a predatory woman who lures a rogue cop into a complex web of murder and deception. Multi-millionaire, Walter Benedict, CEO of Benedict Enterprises Incorporated, and his wife, Diane are entrapped in a crumbling and untenable marriage. Motivated by greed, and passion for a corrupt L.A. cop, Detective Lt. Jack Ramsey, Mrs. Benedict sets up a plan to “eliminate” her husband. Ramsey enlists the aid of mob-connected Nick Falconetti, who owns the Algiers Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Acting as a middle-man, Falconetti recommends Tony Lenska, a professional hit-man, to “take care” of Mr. Benedict. Falconetti will take a 33% commission of the $30.000. fee for setting up the dea l. Ramsey meets with Tony Lenska in his squalid, Skid Row hotel room. They arrange to meet a few days later at a yet-undisclosed, Los Angeles location. The story’s sub-plot concerns Diane Benedict’s position as an attorney for the prestigious law firm of David Isreal and Associates, located in Century City. When attorney Mark Zarish is terminated for sexually harassing the new receptionist, Diane is handed the Rick DeMarco case. DeMarco, who is being held at the Men’s Central Jail, without bail, is accused of killing his mistress, Marie Novachek, and throwing her body off the Arroyo Seco Bridge, in nearby Pasadena. To build Lt. Ramsey’s characterization as a vile and totally corrupt cop, he and his partner, Sgt. Becker, are called to a house in Venice, where a middle-aged black woman has been murdered. The prime suspect, her sixteen-year-old son, Sonny, is picked up at a video arcade, taken to police headquarters, and after hours of intense interrogation is coerced into signing a confession. (In actuality, the boy is innocent of the crime.) After returning from a business trip to New York, Walter Benedict retreats to his luxurious boat, the “Santana,” moored in Marina del Rey. It is on board the “Santana” that Lenska plans to “ice” Mr. Benedict. Under cover of darkness, Lenska pours gasoline over the ship’s desk, and sets it on fire. Miraculously, Benedict manages to escape, before the boat blows up. When word reaches Falconetti that Lenska “screwed-up,” he orders two o f his muscle-men to find the hit-man and “eliminate” him. In a suspenseful sequence, Lenska is discovered in a Vegas restaurant Men’s room, kidnapped, and taken to a deserted industrial area, where he is garrotted and killed. His body ends up inside the trunk of a demolished Cadillac, in an Auto-wrecking yard, Ramsey and Diane Benedict meet in an obscure North Hollywood bowling alley and it is here that Ramsey decides to “take out” Benedict himself – he is scheduled to be guest speaker at a Writers convention in Palm Springs. Ramsey vows, Walter Benedict will never “reach” Palm Springs. This scene is followed by a sequence on Interstate 60, a few nights later. Benedict’s Rolls-Royce is pulled over, on a ruse by Det. Ramsey. There is an altercation, and Benedict is shot and killed. His body is taken to a remote desert location and buried. Shortly thereafter, Diane goes to Det. Lt. Joe Kellermann of the Beverly Hills Police Department, to report that her husband is missing. This precipitates an all-out search, and an APB is released by police authorities. The above is interspersed with the murder trial of Rick DeMarco. At one point, he confesses to Mrs. Benedict, that he indeed killed Marie Novacheck because she threatened to scuttle his marriage. When Diane discusses this turn of events with David Isreal, his reaction is: “The guilty deserve representation as well as the innocent. We’ll let the “jury𔄢

Book excerpt: “A twisty, cold-case mystery custom made for fans of Sara Shepard, PLL and Veronica Mars! The edge-of-your-seat plot, sinister backstory and smart, brave and irreverent main character made this whodunit unputdownable.”—Justine Magazine In To Catch a Killer, a contemporary mystery by debut author Sheryl Scarborough, a teenage girl uses forensic science to solve the cold-case murder of her mother. Erin Blake has one of those names. A name that is inextricably linked to a grisly crime. As a toddler, Erin survived for three days alongside the corpse of her murdered mother, and the case—which remains unsolved—fascinated a nation. Her father's identity unknown, Erin was taken in by her mother's best friend and has become a relatively normal teen in spite of the looming questions about her past. Fourteen years later, Erin is once again at the center of a brutal homicide when she finds the body of her biology teacher. When questioned by the police, Erin tells almost the whole truth, but never voices her suspicions that her mother's killer has struck again in order to protect the casework she's secretly doing on her own. Inspired by her uncle, an FBI agent, Erin has ramped up her forensic hobby into a full-blown cold-case investigation. This new murder makes her certain she's close to the truth, but when all the evidence starts to point the authorities straight to Erin, she turns to her longtime crush (and fellow suspect) Journey Michaels to help her crack the case before it's too late. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book excerpt: “A fast, smart novel, brighter than a meteor and twice as scary. Stephen Woodworth provides shocks and thoughts in equal measure, and climbs right to the top!”—Greg Bear In a world where the dead can testify against the living, someone is getting away with murder. Because to every generation are born a select few souls with violet-colored eyes, and the ability to channel the dead. Both rare and precious—and rigidly controlled by a society that craves their services—these Violets perform a number of different duties. The most fortunate increase the world's cultural heritage by channeling the still-creative spirits of famous dead artists and musicians. The least fortunate aid the police and the law courts, catching criminals by interviewing the deceased victims of violent crime. But now the Violets themselves have become the target of a brutal serial murderer—a murderer who had learned how to mask his or her identity even from the victims. Can the FBI, aided by a Violet so scared of death that she is afraid to live, uncover the criminal in time? Or must more of her race be dispatched to the realm that has haunted them all since childhood?

Download or read book Blind Eye written by James B. Stewart and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A medical thriller from Pulitzer Prize–winning author James B. Stewart about serial killer doctor Michael Swango and the medical community that chose to turn a blind eye on his criminal activities. No one could believe that the handsome young doctor might be a serial killer. Wherever he was hired—in Ohio, Illinois, New York, South Dakota—Michael Swango at first seemed the model physician. Then his patients began dying under suspicious circumstances. At once a gripping read and a hard-hitting look at the inner workings of the American medical system, Blind Eye describes a professional hierarchy where doctors repeatedly accept the word of fellow physicians over that of nurses, hospital employees, and patients—even as horrible truths begin to emerge. With the prodigious investigative reporting that has defined his Pulitzer Prize–winning career, James B. Stewart has tracked down survivors, relatives of victims, and shaken coworkers to unearth the evidence that may finally lead to Swango’s conviction. Combining meticulous research with spellbinding prose, Stewart has written a shocking chronicle of a psychopathic doctor and of the medical establishment that chose to turn a blind eye on his criminal activities.
