Hunter: A Thriller

the #1 Kindle bestseller in
"Mysteries and Thrillers"

returns in the new thriller

BAD DEEDS


He sought peace in the tranquility of nature.
But can he tame the violence in his own nature?


At a cabin in the Allegheny National Forest, Dylan Hunter and Annie Woods seek to heal the wounds from their ordeal at the hands of a twisted psychopath. And to build a life together, Dylan promises Annie that he'll abandon his violent ways.

But ideological zealots and Washington's political elites have conspired to terrorize and plunder the hard-working locals. These victims have no protector against the bad deeds of the powerful and privileged...

...except for one man.

A man as ruthless and violent as they.

A man committed to absolute justice.

Because Dylan Hunter cannot walk away -- not even if it costs him the woman he loves...

Marta Tandori (marta_tandori) | 23 comments It's Not TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE - Still only 0.99!!

It’s not TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE – Read the gripping page turner that spawned the Kate Stanton Mystery Series – still only 0.99!!

If you thought the Vanger family in Stieg Larsson’s THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO was dysfunctional, you haven’t met the powerful Bauer family or their gutsy adversary, Kate Stanton, who’s determined to vindicate the deaths of her mother and sister and, in the process, uncovers some ugly family secrets dating back to the Second World War. Below are a few of the reviews for TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE:

“Wonderful book!!! I wish I could give it a ten rating. What an exciting story. I couldn't put it down. And since I have already read the second book, I know how all the characters finally end up. I would recommend, however, that reading this book first would be much better.” – Amazon

“Oh my GOD. Right from the first few chapters, this book nauseated me, horrified me, filled my head with graphic images that I'm sure I won't be able to erase for a few months, and made me want to throw my Kindle every time a new plot twist clicked in my head, which seemed to be every few pages. And yet, I couldn't bring myself to stop reading, I just had to keep going to see what happened next! All the characters with seemingly unrelated lives, that seemed as though they'd be brought together so loosely, merged together in a way I could have never imagined! If that last line turns out to be a cliffhanger for a sequel, I'm going to hide in my closet for a week and think carefully about if I'm really ready to experience that kind of emotional roller-coaster a second time just because this book was so beautifully written!” – Goodreads

“Reading “Too Little, Too Late” answered so many questions. But beyond that I have to remind you again that I thought “No Hard Feelings” was a page-turner. So to now describe the experience of reading “Too Little, Too Late”, I either have to create a brand new term for the phrase ‘page-turner’ or at the very least I should totally spell out the entire definition of a ‘page-turner’. The definition absolutely must equal the adjectives of gripping, exciting, thriller, rapid-fire action, the power of suspense, add in some HCM – Heart-Clutching Moments (and I can’t take credit for this term), and compelling plot. The whole of that definition becomes the extraordinary “Too Little, Too Late”.” - LibraryThing

“This is an amazingly written book. I was gripped from page one until the last page, but left wanting more. This story is full of twists and is such an exciting read. I look forward to reading more from this author.” – Amazon

See for yourself what everyone’s raving about and get your copy while it’s still on sale!

Jason Chapman | 33 comments Hello,
I am looking to establish a new fan base for a book project.

I am embarking on a bold project to launch a book series and a spin off short story series. The first part of my book series is entitled The Angel Committee, the synopsis is below.

When Chief Scientific Advisor Professor Ralph Frederick is summoned to the Prime Minister’s office his world is turned upside down by an unusual request from the wartime leader.

Frederick is tasked with establishing a highly classified research group whose key function is to gather intelligence on flying saucers. A sceptical Frederick contacts former wartime colleagues and former members on an elite secret society known as the Cambridge Apostles to form a committee codenamed ‘Angel’.

With his team assembled Frederick begins to look into UFO sightings and is soon drawn into world of mystery, espionage and a race to develop a technology captured by both the US and Soviet Superpowers. A technology hundreds of years more advanced and a technology which will determine the outright winner of the new Cold War. From the corridors of power in Whitehall, to the Welsh Valleys and finally a Top Secret research facility located in the Nevada desert Frederick’s faith and scientific knowledge are pushed to their limits.
In their quest to discover the truth Frederick and his team discover that not all allies are friends, and not all foes are enemies, and that there are men prepared to sell out the human race in exchange for
power and wealth.

The Angel Committee dramatises UFO encounters of the 50s based on real life encounters and is the first part of a trilogy of novels following the exploits of Professor Frederick. The Angel Committee is currently available on amazon.

I am due to release the follow up novel The Angel Conspiracy later in the summer.

In addition to my book series I have written eleven parts of a spin off short story series called Tales from Majestic. Set in the wake of the Roswell incident of 1947 the story tracks a group called Majestic 12. I am due to release season two of Tales from Majestic later on in the year.
The third part of my book series will be available next year, and this is just the first trilogy in several I am planning to write.

If you were a fan of The X Files back in the day then this will certainly appeal to you. The story will also appeal to fans of Dan Brown and anyone who likes a good conspiracy thriller.

Ahead of the release of The Angel Conspiracy I am looking to generate interest in the first novel The Angel Committee. I have had some success publicising my work on facebook, however I realise now I must reach beyond facebook and attract a new audience . My work has received high praise on both sides of the Atlantic so if you’re looking for a new series to get into then this will appeal to you.
Thanks
Jason Chapman

Brad Spencer (Brad_Spencer) | 4 comments My debut novel, The Upshot, a suspense/crime thriller has recently been released and I'm looking to attract reviews.

The Upshot by Brad Spencer

The Upshot synopsis:
As children, Sam McElroy, Holly Karlan, and Jimmer Cuddy were inseparable. Growing up on the same block, the trio became best friends. All three seemed on the cusp of bright futures. But their indelible bond unraveled after a tragic incident during their teen years.

Forced to keep a secret that changes who they are, the friends travel down unintentional paths, riddled with guilt and shame. They are weakened emotionally by the tragic event of the past and conflicted about how to ultimately avenge it.

It's a fast-paced read with explosive action, a wickedly evil villain and troubled but endearing heroes.

Paperback and digital versions are available.

Synopsis:

Georgette

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Georgette McClain can’t resist a juicy tip. So when a rumored crazy ex-CEO gifts her evidence of a vast conspiracy involving the world’s premier scientific community, Arcadian Heights, she sets her sights on the story of a lifetime. And all she has to do to grab it by the reins is sneak into the most secure facility in the world—and expose it for the slaughter house it is.

Marco

Tech company CEO Marco Salt has it all. Fame. Fortune. Family. But not long after Marco’s beloved genius daughter is invited to join Arcadian Heights, a rogue agent reveals to him the horrifying truth about the revered scientific community. Forced to flee for his life, Marco finds himself on the run with a deadly secret in his grasp and a single goal in mind: destroy Arcadian Heights.

Quentin

Quentin Belmont has been the Arcadian Heights spokesman for the better part of two decades, and his singular motivation is to keep the community safe at all costs. So when an internal incursion leaks vital information to an outside party, Quentin preps a “cleanup” without a second thought. But what at first appears to be a simple task turns out to be anything but, and Quentin comes face to face with the unthinkable—a threat that could annihilate the community.

Barry Hatton | 11 comments Hello everyone,
I've moved on from European cultural history and just wanted to draw attention to a crime novel I've published this month on Amazon with a friend/colleague. Here's the press release:

Crime novel finds blood in European financial crisis, US cop uncovers international intrigue

A smart and sassy amateur sleuth is just the person for the job when an investigation into the suspicious deaths of tourists in downtown Lisbon uncovers a sordid tale of murder, treachery and international conspiracy.

“Lisbon Water Kills,” a new crime novel, takes a peek behind the scenes of the European financial crisis that struck Portugal, forcing it to ask for a $100 billion loan to avoid bankruptcy.

“Lisbon Water Kills” introduces a new star in crime fiction: Antonia Fortunata, a U.S. cop who has returned to her land of birth after being shot in the line of duty in Massachusetts.

Writing under the pseudonym Axel G. Barry, two senior foreign correspondents in Lisbon have imagined an intriguing tale where, unlike in reality, the wicked are exposed.

“Lisbon Water Kills” was co-authored by:
- Axel Bugge has been posted in Portugal with Reuters for 9 years. Before that, he worked as a foreign correspondent in Denmark, England, Argentina and Brazil.
- Barry Hatton, a foreign correspondent in Lisbon for more than 20 years, working since 1997 for The Associated Press. He previously wrote “The Portuguese: A Modern History” (Signal Books, Oxford, 2011).

“Lisbon Water Kills” is available on Amazon, in Kindle and paperback versions.

Neil Russell | 9 comments Beverly Hills Is Burning: A Rail Black Novel

Looking for a new thriller to read by the pool this summer? Please allow me to recommend my new book, Beverly Hills is Burning, a Rail Black novel. You can purchase it here for your Kindle(http://amzn.to/1hUOwFa) or here in trade paperback (http://amzn.to/Q849l3).


"It was just after midnight when the girl in the blue diamond necklace fell out of the sky."

In Hollywood, an ex-con movie producer, fresh out of San Quentin, is lucky if he can get a valet to take his car at The Ivy. Teddy Chessman got his own studio.

Why? Because Teddy controls the most important motion picture property to hit town since agents were invented. And attached to this expected critical and financial bonanza is the biggest female action star in the world, Valentine Jones.

But good plans die horrible deaths, and foolproof ones, worse. And now, the guy who loaned Teddy the money to buy the joint--Rail Black, a former Delta Force operator with a private fortune--is forced to take possession of Teddy's dream. And the bad news is just beginning.

Exploding from ninety years in the past--when gangsters and movie tycoons roamed Hollywood and scratched each other's wallets--Rail is
sucked into a quicksand of unsettled scores, duplicity and death, where a couple of billion dollars in boxoffice seems like small change.

From Southern California to New York, Venice, Havana, Mexico and Cyprus, Rail must disentangle the past from the present and come to terms with his feelings for Barrie Fontaine, a long dead woman--and
extraordinarily brave pilot--he has never met.

And somewhere, out there, is Matty Aspirins, a hitman on a mission all his own.

Welcome to Beverly Hills is Burning.

There will be no intermission.


"Neil Russell is the king of adventure thrillers... BEVERLY HILLS IS BURNING is a tour-de-force of hot action, cool suspense, and steamy sex. ...a once-in-a-lifetime ride with producers, screenwriters, Mafia
hitmen, and money. Lots of money. You'll love this book."

Gayle Lynds, New York Times bestselling author of THE BOOK OF SPIES


"Neil Russell's BEVERLY HILLS IS BURNING is everything a thriller should be. Former Delta Force operator, Rail Black is a contemporary knight errant, patrolling the seedy boulevards of La-La Land...reminding me of John D. MacDonald's iconic Travis McGee.

"Description and dialogue are edged weapons, employed expertly...acerbic wit and indelible metaphors paint a mordant portrait of L.A. corruption as only a veteran Hollywood insider could.

"Warning: This is a tough tale about bad people who use gutter language and do ugly things... You shouldn't wait a minute longer to dive in..."

Robert Bidinotto, Bestselling author of HUNTER: A Thriller

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 46 comments As a new member of the group I'd like to introduce my latest novel. Up until this publication I have written only fantasy, and stepping into a new genre has been great. It has been well received so far, reaching a ranking of 628 in the paid UK chart, at which time it ranked number 99 in the thriller chart, sharing the same page as Lee Child and James Patterson (OK, it only stayed there for an hour, but it made for a cool screenshot).

Hopefully some of you will take a little time to check it out, hopefully read some of the look inside, and maybe have a gander at some of the reviews.

Cheers, hope it's your kind of read, and I look forward to getting to know members of the group.

The Devil's Road to Kathmandu by Tom Vater on sale at amazon for only 99 cents. As one reviewer notes:
"Vater's got the gift. His portrayals of Pakistan and Nepal, from the past and from today, are spot-on and draw the reader in. With an economical few strokes of the pen, he delivers credible characters that hurdle along a great story. I downloaded the book and spent the next day ignoring Real Life.
