For anyone who loves animals and murder mysteries, this book offers all the cute whiskers and plot turnings desired.

Feargal MacIntosh McGregor is the greatest exercise in positive PR that the police force have had in years. Son of Sir Robert McGregor, Britain's most famous policeman who, as the celebrated head of Scotland Yard, ran the Met with an iron hand and efficiency not achieved either before or after his time. Feargal is feted as the bright new hope for law and order by everyone from the Prime Minister down. An Oxford graduate with honours in fine art history and psychology he is also tall, blond, improbably handsome and totally unsuited to the police force.

Feargal's problem is that he is accident prone, gullible and far too amiable to be an efficient policeman. He is eventually shipped off to Scotland; to Glenoag, a remote Highland village in a remote Highland glen that hasn't seen a policeman for 30 years (or much of anyone else). A new laird has just inherited the estate that occupies the glen and has been having trouble with poachers. Feargal's instructions are to put a stop to it. However it isn't poachers but a missing Van Gogh that Feargal is faced with on his first week on the job. He also meets Mary, a beautiful farmer's daughter, a couple of Glasgow heavies bent on revenge, a cunning pub keeper and several other characters who manage to cause a maximum of confusion along with plenty of laughs.

The Crimson Flake is a tale of two tales, diverse and well separated by time and locale. Each is an emotional human struggle and the two are on a collision course.

The first tale concerns a rather large and often irreverent man who silently craves danger and shares his life with a cat called Sam. They both love the same woman but while the cat openly demonstrates his emotions toward her the man struggles with feelings of love and commitment; feelings he knows deep down to be absolute truths. In addition, he wrestles with a nagging internal death wish and a disturbing intuitive ability; an ability he loathes but one that's kept him alive.

The second involves a struggle we've known since the beginning when Eve encountered the serpent. There are evil things. They're where you would expect them but they're also where you wouldn't. You don't see the man in the crowd whose eyes are fixed on you, who follows you, who snatches you from your life and your life from you; unnoticed little slices of time. This is the story of such an encounter; of how evil can spring from the most benign and tranquil environment, of one person's courage and willpower to battle such madness: a battle that ultimately defines her life.

It's the story of two reclusive brothers who live deep in an otherwise hushed and beautiful forest but who, because of an emotionally tortured mother and her twisted influence, have littered the peaceful woodland with the remains of nine vibrant young women; all in the name of God. But not all of the remains were scattered. No. The prettiest parts were saved. They're in the barn.

One brother is inherently evil, born evil, and is descending deeper into the abyss. He is beyond redemption and only death can stop him. The other is struggling with thoughts he didn't know he could have before she came. He's being pulled in one direction by a despicable but settled way of life and in the other by her. She is Willie, a skinny, nineteen year-old, inner-city kid who is there quite by accident and fighting for two lives.

Over time, bizarre circumstances cause the paths of the big man and the girl to converge. The two become allies and make for perhaps the strangest heroic duo imaginable. They stumble and falter along the way but the union is a formidable one. They recover, more powerful, in a final assault and the evil is left lying as dust beside the road.

The star is Nicola Smith. She is a strong, driven reporter in the state of California. She is investigating the story on a notorious killer who calls himself the Riddler. He is now on a killing spree. A terrible and horrific thing happens to her. She is beaten, raped and has lost any warmth that she once had left inside of her! To add to her own misery... her only living family, which is her dad, whom she is very close with...dies. She feels everything is slipping away from her. To add to her traumas in life, she is faced with an unwanted pregnancy. She struggles with the option to keep or to abort her unborn child. Another surprise occurs...Her nephew, whom she never knew about, is left motherless and finds his way to his Aunt Nicola. Nicola's heart starts to open up, as she develops a bond with her nephew. Now she has a reason for living, until heartbreak occurs once again...the Riddler killer changes his routine and captures the only person she let into her heart and trusted completely...her little 10-yearold nephew, Austin. She faces continuous obstacles that she never even imagined before...and must save her only living relative...before he is...murdered by the Riddler killer!

This fictional story about an Australian Secret Service agent is set in the present. However, it contains exciting flashbacks to his earlier wartime exploits in Korea and Japan and a lost love. He battles, almost single-handedly against internal skulduggery whilst trying to foil a terrorist plot to attack a foreign embassy. His adventures take him from capital cities, into the Australian bush and eventually to Turkey.

Exciting new author, David Carr, brings this mystery to life. Lead character, Dan Logan, Private Investigator and former Special Forces officer for the United States Marines, is a man who can get the job done. The battle centers around nine million dollars, but for Dan, it's not about the money. He faces a team of killers to rescue his friend. Dan fights fire with fire with no regard for the law. Anyone standing in Dan's way on this mission will not be left standing.

Dan Logan can best be described as a bad good guy. Some may question his unorthodox methods, but his results speak for themselves. Reflections of his life in Vietnam give Dan depth and a human side that help the reader understand the forces that molded this man.

This fast paced page turner is a must read for all adventure enthusiasts.

From a new author comes a mystery that encompasses four decades of brutal murder and betrayal among a group of neighborhood friends who rise to prominence, wealth and fame, but cannot escape the choice each made about his role in this nation's longest and least understood military campaign.

On a hot summer California night in 1958, someone brutally slit the throat of a Boy Scout and carved a gruesome murder signature across the twelve year old's forehead. Now, 40 years after that horrific overnight campout, another member of Troop 1204 turns up dead in Arizona with the same latticework pattern of forehead carvings, and the police look to the surviving scouts for their killer. The latest victim, an international film idol, brings worldwide attention to the 1204 troop roster, which includes a policeman, a TV news anchor, a university professor and a doctor, as well as two lawyers and a United States Congressman.

The authorities are especially interested in Joshua Hilliard, the only scout known to be in Arizona at the time of the second killing. Hilliard, a Washington, D.C. urban design architect and decorated Vietnam War veteran, sets out to solve the crimes and clear his name. Teaming up with his wife, Carla, a high powered D.C. attorney, he retraces his life and the lives of the other ten surviving scouts, working against time to find the killer before he is indicted for the murders of his childhood friends.

From Sacramento to Phoenix and Scottsdale, Danang to Los Angeles and on to the District of Columbia and New England, the two amateur sleuths confront their past as they fight for their future. In the course of their investigation, they discover how the war has effected their friends' lives and their own feelings toward each other since Joshua's return from Vietnam. As new murders occur and old ones come to light, Josh wages a battle with long dormant memories of his tour in country while Carla comes face to face with her husband's old combat adrenaline rush and her own sexual reawakening as well.
