Not Even Past (The Jackson Donne Novels)
by Dave WhiteThe acclaimed author delivers &“a tremendous jolt of adrenaline . . . then ratchets the action back up for a breakneck finish&” in this gritty crime thriller (The Florida Times-Union). Six years ago, Jackson Donne&’s fiancée, Jeanne, died in a car crash—a hit-and-run with a drunk driver. It was an open-and-shut case with few questions asked, mostly because Donne was in no state to ask any. Now the former-PI-turned-college-student has finals coming up and a wedding to plan with the new woman in his life. He&’s something he hasn&’t been in a long time: happy. But that unfamiliar feeling doesn&’t last. Donne receives an email with a link to a video of Jeanne being held captive, alive—for now. Donne&’s investigative skills have faded. He has no contacts, no one to turn to—except for the dodgy ex-partner he had when he was a cop, the other man who loved Jeanne. Donne knows that each step into the past is a piece of the future he&’s throwing away. But the truth is out there—on the violent New Jersey streets he once knew like the back of his hand . . . &“White is one of a group of younger writers reimagining the P.I. novel. . . . This book flies.&” —Milwaukee Journal Sentinel &“Dave White brings the goods. Skillfully crafting a tale that thriller fans will devour at lightning speed, yet meaty enough that mystery fans will delight in fitting the pieces together.&” —Crimespree Magazine
Not Even Past
by Dave White"Dave White is everything you hope for in a crime novelist, delivering both white-knuckle suspense and nuanced characters, propulsive action and an emotional wallop. These are books that both invigorate the genre and are also, truly, built to last." --Megan Abbott, author of Dare MeFinally, Jackson Donne has it figured out. After giving up on the private investigation business, he's looking toward the future--one that involves getting married to Kate Ellison. Kate's got him focused on living the good life: planning the wedding, finishing college, and anticipating a romantic Hawaiian honeymoon. Until an anonymous email with a link and an old picture of him on the police force shows up in his mailbox. And once Donne clicks the link, nothing else in his life matters.Bill Martin has it easy. The police detective spends his time drinking coffee and chasing down people who don't pay their parking tickets. The plan is to keep his head down until his pension kicks in and he can live the even-easier life. That all stops the day Jackson Donne shows up at his office.When Jackson Donne clicked on the link, he saw a live-stream of the one thing he never expected to see. Six years ago, his fiancée, Jeanne Baker died in a car accident with a drunk driver. Or so Donne thought. Because when his web browser opens, he's taken to a video of Jeanne bound to a chair, bruised and screaming, but very much alive. He starts to investigate, but quickly finds out he's lost most of his contacts over the years. The live-stream has stopped working. The police hold a grudge that stems back to the days when he turned in his corrupt police colleagues, and neither they nor the FBI are willing to believe a dead girl's been kidnapped. As his investigation goes down one blind alley after another, Donne's obsession with finding Jeanne grows. He begins pushing everyone away. Kate, seeing all he's worked slipping away, begs Donne to tell her what's going on. And when he refuses, she's left angry and with no choice but to leave him. Vulnerable and alone, but unable to stop looking, Donne turns to Bill Martin--the only man to love Jeanne as much as he did-for help.And that decision could cost Donne everything.

Not I, Said the Sparrow
by Pat ReynoldsNot I, Said the Sparrow is a deviously plotted mystery set in a fictional Perth university. In full view of the assembled masses at the annual Graduation Ceremony, an elderly Mathematics professor is shot dead by means of a poisoned dart. A young History lecturer, Lucy, joins her friend, Felicity, another lecturer, to act as a sounding board for the inexperienced detective, Felicity's cousin, who has been brought in to investigate. Lucy and Felicity were told not to become too involved, but they soon find themselves right in the midst of the action as they uncover a plethora of illegal activities and other skulduggery occurring on campus. Despite this undercurrent of wickedness and corruption, and despite the unpopular Vice Chancellor's attempts to address a financial crisis closing in on the University, lectures continue and students carry on as students usually carry on. This is a crime novel, but there is no gratuitous violence, and the emphasis is more on the characters and the mystery than the actual murder. It gives insights into work at a university and treats its material lightly, with a touch of humour. This book would appeal to a wide audience, especially those who like the challenge of a good mystery.
