No Man Standing: A Munch Mancini Crime Novel (The Munch Mancini Novels #5)
by Barbara SeranellaA woman tries to save a friend before her old life catches up to her, in a tale by a writer who “brings rare street credibility to her crime mysteries” (The Miami Herald).

But life hasn’t been as forgiving for her old friend Ellen Summers. Munch and Ellen were inseparable in their youth, but when Munch went straight, Ellen went to prison. On the day before she’s to be released, Ellen’s mother and stepfather are murdered. When the killer threatens Ellen, she turns to Munch as the only person she can trust. While Munch questions some of her friend’s story, the danger she is in proves to be all too real. Munch is determined to find the murderer and save her friend one last time—before the killer ends her crime-solving days for good. “There’s no more interesting protagonist in crime fiction. . . . Don’t miss this series.” —Chicago Tribune “Munch proves herself again to be a likable and earnest character with a tough side that is explained by glimpses into her dark past. Her romantic entanglement with a police officer promises interesting times ahead.” —Booklist

No Man's Land
by G. M. FordThe accolades keep rolling in for G.M. Ford, whose gritty, explosive, lightning-fast brand of thriller has placed him in the upper ranks of contemporary crime fiction authors. Now, in his most relentlessly exciting novel to date, Ford's dark and complex protagonist, Frank Corso, finds himself drawn into a bizarre carnival of blood and death in the last place any sane person would willingly go ...No Man's LandArizona's Meza Azul penitentiary is the pride of the state's newly privatized penal system -- a modern technological wonder, unassailable and inescapable, built to hold the worst of the worst. Yet, inconceivably, one prisoner has managed to breach the foolproof security, set loose the other inmates, and take control of the facility -- holding more than one hundred guards and workers hostage. And one hostage will die every six hours until Timothy Driver gets what he wants: Frank Corso.A rogue journalist and confirmed lone wolf, Corso wrote a bestselling book about the former U.S. Navy submarine commander who was convicted of slaughtering his wife and her lover in a jealous fury. Now, unwilling to be responsible for the death of innocents, Corso allows himself to be delivered into the bowels of Meza Azul -- and into the hands of a crazed hero turned criminal.But Captain Driver wants more than the ear of a once-sympathetic writer who will tell his final story tough and truthfully. Accompanied by a cold-blooded hayseed murder machine named "Cutter" Kehoe, and with Corso in tow, Driver pulls off a brilliant and undetected escape, right under the noses of armed government troops as they storm the captured prison. Suddenly a helpless spectator along for the ride on a maniacal cross-country killing spree -- with a tragic and beautiful TV journalist doggedly pursuing the story, heading inexorably into harm's way -- Corso finds himself in no man's land.If he's lucky, Frank Corso may get one slim chance to escape the clutches of a psychopathic duo determined to go out in a blaze of blood and terror. But if he's not, his own story -- and too many others -- will end abruptly and brutally.

No Mark upon Her (Duncan Kincaid / Gemma James #14)
by Deborah CrombieNew York Times bestselling author Deborah Crombie makes her mark with this absorbing, finely hued tale of suspense-a deeply atmospheric and twisting mystery full of deadly secrets, salacious lies, and unexpected betrayals involving the mysterious drowning of a Met detective-an accomplished rower-on the Thames. When a K9 search-and-rescue team discovers a woman's body tangled up with debris in the river, Scotland Yard superintendent Duncan Kincaid finds himself heading an investigation fraught with complications. The victim, Rebecca Meredith, was a talented but difficult woman with many admirers-and just as many enemies. An Olympic contender on the verge of a controversial comeback, she was also a high-ranking detective with the Met-a fact that raises a host of political and ethical issues in an already sensitive case. To further complicate the situation, a separate investigation, led by Detective Inspector Gemma James, Kincaid's wife, soon reveals a disturbing-and possibly related-series of crimes, widening the field of suspects. But when someone tries to kill the search-and-rescue team member who found Rebecca's body, the case becomes even more complex and dangerous, involving powerful interests with tentacles that reach deep into the heart of the Met itself. Surrounded by enemies with friendly faces, pressured to find answers quickly while protecting the Yard at all costs, his career and reputation on the line, Kincaid must race to catch the killer before more innocent lives are lost-including his own.

No Mercy (Hardy Boys Casefiles #65, Operation Phoenix #2)
by Franklin W. DixonFrom the back of the book: A company of killers For Frank and Joe, a journey in search of justice has turned into a personal mission of revenge: Their intercontinental chase has led them from Kenya to Stockholm, Sweden. Target: Phoenix Enterprises, an international combine of supersmugglers that the Hardys hold responsible for their father's death. But the boys are just beginning to realize how powerful the group is. High-tech weaponry, terrorism, and human suffering are their stock-in-trade. Led on by a beautiful woman, pursued by a trained assassin, the Hardys find danger at every turn. But they'll take any road and any risk to expose the truth-even if it leads across Europe and into the heart of the deadly Phoenix maze. =============== From inside the book: LEAP OF FAITH Frank and Joe pulled themselves onto the hotel roof. "We'd better get out of here before the guys who just crashed into our room figure out where we've gone," Joe told his brother. Frank pointed toward a door. "That looks like the exit-" Suddenly they heard the sound of footsteps echoing up the stairs, heading for the roof. "Too late!" Joe cried. "They're already on the way up!" "Where do we go now?" Frank said. "That's the only way off the roof!" Joe looked desperately toward the roof of the next building, which looked to be from five to fifteen feet away. Frank and Joe exchanged glances. Could they make it to the other roof in a single jump? The sound of pounding footsteps from the stairwell told them that they had no choice. Moving as one; the brothers raced toward the edge of the roof-and leapt into space!
