Descirption: Kyle Monroe, his irritating new partner and their fellow freaks at the 77th Precinct must learn to work together to stop a vicious murderer that might not even be human.
Kyle Monroe's encounter with a strange, gelatinous creature in an alley leaves him scarred and forever changed, revealing odd abilities he wishes he didn't have and earning him reassignment to a precinct where all the cops have defective paranormal abilities.
Just as he's starting to adjust to his fellow misfit squad mates, Kyle's new partner arrives. Tall, physically perfect, reserved and claiming he has no broken psychic talents, Vikash Soren irritates Kyle in every way. But as much as he'd like to hate Vikash, Kyle finds himself oddly drawn to him, their non-abilities meshing in unexpected ways. If they can learn to work together, they might be able to stop the mysterious killer who has been leaving mutilated bodies along the banks of the Schuylkill.

The April Rainers - Anthea Fraser

English |
9780385410885 |
Descirption: Death by strangulation is not a pretty sight, but then Ted Baxter, who had driven his wife to suicide, was an ugly character.
His wastebasket bulges with hate mail.
One letter - inscribed in copperplate letters with striking green ink - stands out: You have been found guilty of crimes against humanity. The death sentence will be carried out in eight days. Signed: The April Rainers.
Chief Inspector Webb of the Shillingham CID soon discerns a pattern.
Baxter was not the April Rainers' first victim.
The two other known victims were an extortionist and a hostile-takeover artist; both had so many enemies that another threat seemed insignificant - even one inscribed in copperplate letters.
What connects the victims?
Who are the April Rainers?
Why are they warning their victims beforehand?
In his most baffling case yet, Chief Inspector Webb must find out who this group is and why its members are taking the law into their own hands .
Praise for Anthea Fraser:

But when local gangsters set him up for a crime he didn't commit, he finds himself back in the clutches of the CIA. His old masters make him an offer he can't refuse: rot in a hellish Thai prison, or accept a dangerous mission in Tokyo, Japan.
As he hunts the neon-lit city for a CIA asset's missing daughter, he quickly learns there is more to this assignment than meets the eye. Yakuza thugs, Japan's Security Bureau, and even rogue CIA operatives all stand between him and his objective.
And looming in the shado is Tokyo Black; a right wing terrorist cult, whose members demonstrate their loyalty by burning their yakuza tattoos from their skin. Can Thomas Caine defeat this fanatical enemy, before they ignite an international conflict that kills thousands?

Descirption: On the Irish border, Inspector Celcius Daly investigates human trafficking and a scorched corpseThe border between Northern Ireland and the Republic is a rugged place: cold, windswept, and dark.

One night, a pimp takes one of them for a ride. She is just planning her escape when the car explodes. The next morning, there is nothing left but the pimp's charred body and the woman's footprints in the snow.As his forensics specialists turn their attention to the burned corpse, security officer Inspector Celcius Daly obsesses over the footprints. Where exactly did the woman come from, and where did she go? It is the sort of question asked only in the borderlands-between North and South, between life and death.

Silence - Anthony J Quinn

Descirption: A bizarre road accident propels Celcius Daly into an investigation that will reveal the truth about his mother's death thirty years ago.
Father Aloysius Walsh spent the last years of his life painstakingly collecting evidence of murder: a year-long killing spree of unparalleled savagery that blighted Ireland's borderlands at the end of the 1970s. Pinned to his bedroom wall, a macabre map charts the grim territory of death: victims, weapons, wounds, dates - and somehow, amid the forest of pins and notes, he had discerned a pattern...
So why did Father Walsh deliberately drive through a cordon of security officermen and off the road to his death? Why, when Inspector Celcius Daly arrives at the scene, does he find Special Branch already there? And why is his mother's name on the priest's map?
The past poisons the present and Daly's life will never be the same again.

The Nine Bright Shiners - Anthea Fraser
Type : epub |
Size : 391.73 KB |
English |
Descirption: To Jan Coverdale, daughter of one explorer and half-sister of another, the history and legends of Peru had been familiar since childhood. But when her marriage broke down and her half-brother Edward invited her home for Christmas, they became all at one more personal and more threatening. It began with a body dressed in tramp's clothing, with incongruous green sequins on his lapel. He looked disconcertingly like Edward, whose wallet was in his pocket-but hadn't Edward and his wife flown to Peru? The discovery that 'the tramp' was an investigative jouranlist was a development DCI Webb could have done without, since it threw the case wide open. But why was the body dressed so shabbily and what was the meaning of those sequins? Only after a long and tortuous trail does Webb discover the truth about The Nine Bright Shiners, and who had killed to possess them.

From Kirkus Revie
Helen Campbell's marriage to Andrew, an insurance claims adjuster is in trouble. Their two children are grown, and a restless Helen is thinking of renewing her old career in the antiques trade. Driving home one night from a visit to daughter Penelope, a university student, Helen is delayed by heavy fog and thankfully takes a room at The Seven Stars, a B&B along the way. As she's parking her car, a young woman runs out of the inn's doorway. Her body is found later that night--victim of a hit and run. Meanwhile, Chief Inspector David Webb of the nearby Shillingham security officer (The Gospel Makers, 1996, etc.) is trying to dredge up information from a botched attempt to break into Beckworth House- -one of a series of robberies of stately homes across the county, all of them marked by the theft of one or only a few not-always- valuable objects. Some days later Helen returns to Steeple Bayliss to take a two-week course on antiques, staying again at The Seven Stars, where, as on her first stay, she detects some odd cross- currents amongst owners Stella and Gordon Cain, Stella's sister Kate and brother-in-law Nicholas Warren; disquieting things, too, about their visitor Dominic Hardy--disturbing enough to drive Helen to the local security officer station, where, eventually, her total recall helps Webb solve a case in which the latest break-in has resulted in murder. Readable and fitfully intriguing, but undermined by too many coincidences, a clumsily absurd conspiracy, and an underlying motive literally not to be believed. -- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Descirption: When Sheila Fairchild wakes one night from a chilling nightmare, it brings back painful memories of the nightmares she suffered as a child.
The following day, a prominent local landowner Billy Makepeace is found dead in the canal.
It soon emerges that his death is anything but innocent, but when Sheila's brother DCI Webb is assigned to the case, he has every reason for not wanting to get involved.
Makepeace was an old rival of his father's and it seems inevitable the investigation will stir up painful memories of an early life he had hoped to put behind him.
But many questions still need to be answered.
Why did Billy Makepeace telephone Sheila on the night he died? Especially when the two families, because of the old feud, never spoke.
Why should Makepeace also have telephoned the local vicar?
And whatever became of the third rival, Dick Vernon, who disappeared without a trace decades ago?
When it emerges that Sheila's nightmares may have their origins in a dreadful truth, it seems that DCI Webb may have to solve two murders instead of just one.
In doing so, he may just find out the real reasons why there were three, three the rivals.
'Three, Three, The Rivals' is another absorbing detective mystery from Anthea Fraser in the DCI Webb series.

Descirption: **"A real thriller - you feel the pull of Ancient Egypt." Eastern Daily Press
Egypt, the 18th Dynasty.
The child pharaoh Tutankhamun is dead, and his ageing successor Ay has married his granddaughter Ankhesenaum as a ploy to father an heir and keep his rival Horemheb off the Golden Chair.
Huy had become the world's first private eye after being forced to quit his profession as scribe, but he is forbidden by the distrusting Ay to do any more 'problem-solving.'
Huy's friend Chaemhet, one of Ay's principal servants, has embarked on a passionate love affair with a member of the king's harem, Teje.
But with a wife carrying his child and the knowledge that abusing his position of trust to the king could cost him his life, Chaemhet is desperate to put an end to the affair.
When the manipulative dwarf Gewa finds out and is murdered in his bedchamber, Huy suspects his friend is behind it.
He is called upon by Ay to resume his detective duties - and as more blood is spilled can he find who the real murderer is?
'City of Desire' is a gripping Egyptian thriller from master of the genre Anton Gill.

Descirption: Palace intrigues, the death of one-time royal favorites . . . it may sound like Tudor England, but it's Egypt during the 18th Dynasty, about 1350 B.C. Akhenaten, the ?reformist? pharaoh, has died, and his successor, the child pharaoh Tutankhamun, is effectively controlled by political schemers with no love for Akhenaten's old supporters, now deemed heretics. Many of these have lost their lives, but Huy, once a scribe in Akhenaten's court, is luckier: He's lost merely his home and the right to practice his trade. In desperation, Huy becomes a sort of traveling troubleshooter, the world's first private eye. City of the Horizon marks his first case, bringing him up against both Egypt's powerful priesthood and a brutal gang of tomb-robbers, all while he's trying to evade the clutches of the secret security officer. The modern world, it seems, has no monopoly on duplicity and corruption.
