Sunrise (Wrath & Righteousness #Episode Ten)
by Chris StewartVIRTUE & BLOOD <p><p> "Are we a moral people? Are we worthy of the fight? Is any of it worth fighting for? I'm here to tell you that it is. I love my country. I know you love it, too. Now it's time to man up and find the courage to join us in this cause." <p> As the final, dramatic episode begins, the future of America--and perhaps the freedom of all mankind--hang in the balance. Two men, one driven by Darkness, and the other by Light, are locked in a struggle for power that will change everything. <p> The former Secretary of Defense, realizing that he is the Republic's last chance, sends a trusted ally into his rival's heavily secured compound. Her mission: to retrieve one of three living members of the Supreme Court and bring him out to join his colleagues and rule on the presidential line of succession. <p> If she is successful, there is no guarantee the Justices will rule in their favor. And if she fails, there is no back-up plan. <p> Against the backdrop of torn-from-the-headlines Middle Eastern drama, the Wrath & Righteousness series is a fast-paced thriller that explores man's role in the eternal battle between good and evil. <p> Chris Stewart, a world-record-setting Air Force pilot (fastest nonstop flight around the world), is the New York Times bestselling author of several books, including The Miracle of Freedom
Sunrise Highway (Lourdes Robles Novels #2)

Sunset and Sawdust
by Joe R. LansdaleHe has been called "hilarious . . . refreshing . . . a terrifically gifted storyteller with a sharp country-boy wit" (Washington Post Book World), and praised for his "folklorist's eye for telling detail and [his] front-porch raconteur's sense of pace" (New York Times Book Review). Now, Joe R. Landsdale gives us a fast-moving, electrifying new novel: a murder mystery set in a steamy backwater of Depression-era East Texas. It begins with an explosion: Sunset Jones kills her husband with a bullet to the brain. Never mind that he was raping her. Pete Jones was constable of the small sawmill town of Camp Rapture ("Camp Rupture" to the local blacks), where no woman, least of all Pete's, refuses her husband what he wants. So most everyone is surprised and angry when, thanks to the unexpected understanding of her mother-in-law--three-quarter owner of the mill--Sunset is named the new constable. And they're even more surprised when she dares to take the job seriously: beginning an investigation into the murder of a woman and an unborn baby whose oil-drenched bodies are discovered buried on land belonging to the only black landowner in town. Yet no one is more surprised than Sunset herself when the murders lead her--through a labyrinth of greed, corruption, and unspeakable malice--not only to the shocking conclusion of the case, but to a well of inner strength she never knew she had. Landsdale brings the thick backwoods and swamps of East Texas vividly to life, and he paints a powerfully evocative picture of a time when Jim Crow and the Klan ruled virtually unopposed, when the oil boom was rolling into and over Texas, when any woman who didn't know her place was considered a threat and a target. In Sunset, he gives us a woman who defies all expectations, wrestling a different place for herself with spirit and spit, cunning and courage. And inSunset and Sawdusthe gives us a wildly energetic novel--galvanizing from first to last.
Sunset and Sawdust
by Joe R LansdaleA hard-edged crime thriller set at the start of the Texas oil boom in the 1930sWhen Pete Jones, the local constable, is shot dead, his widow, Sunset, finds herself in his job, investigating a series of brutal murders. Most of the townsfolk object to her wearing Pete's gun and badge, some because this is the 1930s and they think a woman's place is in the home, others because it was Sunset who blew off Pete's head in the first place. As much a modern western as a murder mystery, SUNSET & SAWDUST features a cast of outlandish characters -- gun-men, hobos, sheriffs, hookers, migrants and coloured families struggling to make living under the malevolent eyes of the Ku Klux Klan. Sunset's investigation leads her and her friends into a labyrinth of greed, corruption, and unspeakable malice. Nothing and no-one are quite what they seem in Texas.

The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp (Miss Sharp Investigates #1)
by Leonie SwannA quirky group of seniors attempts to solve one murder while covering up another—with the help of an enterprising tortoise—in this twisty, darkly funny mystery from the author of Three Bags Full.It has been an eventful morning for Agnes Sharp and the other inhabitants of Sunset Hall, a house share for the old and unruly in the sleepy English countryside. Although they have had some issues (misplaced reading glasses, conflicting culinary tastes, decreasing mobility, and gluttonous grandsons), nothing prepares them for an unexpected visit from a police officer with some shocking news. A body has been discovered next door. Everyone puts on a long face for show, but they are secretly relieved the body in question is not the one they&’re currently hiding in the shed (sorry, Lillith).It seems the answer to their little problem with Lillith may have fallen right into their laps. All they have to do is find out who murdered their neighbor, so they can pin Lillith&’s death on them, thus killing two (old) birds with one stone (cold killer).With their plan sorted, Agnes and her geriatric gang spring into action. After all, everybody likes a good mystery. Besides, the more suspicion they can cast about, surely the less will land on them. To investigate, they will step out of their comfort zone and tangle with sinister bakers, broken stairlifts, inept criminals, the local authorities, and their own dark secrets.
