Survivors of Flight 387
by Richard McStayA mechanic who's been to prison and a highly skilled plastic surgeon are certainly an unlikely match. Richard Buchanan, wrongfully convicted, is now looking for a new start by taking a job in China. Dr. Susan Ryan is taking a break from her controlling family and fiance to do some charity work in Bangladesh. But their plans go awry when their plane crashes into the Pacific and they are the only survivors. Only their ingenuity in building a make-shift raft from debris keeping them alive. After a week of eating raw fish and battling the weather and sharks, they reach a small island, thinking they've returned to civilization. But they're wrong - they only find more problems. They get to know each other and fall in love as they fight off storms, injuries, and drug-dealing pirates who want them dead. If they succeed in returning to civilization, can they also fight public opinion opposing their love?
Survivors Will Be Shot Again: A Dan Rhodes Mystery (Sheriff Dan Rhodes Mysteries #23)
by Bill CriderThere's no such thing as a day off for a sheriff. Even in a small Texas town like Clearview, there's always something going on for law enforcement. Still, most days don't involve a run-in with an alligator.And that's not the worst of Sheriff Dan Rhodes's troubles, either. There's a dead man in Billy Bacon's barn, though Bacon swears he doesn't know how the body got there. Rhodes is a bit skeptical, given that the intruder has been shot twice and that Bacon has recently removed a sign from a fencepost near the barn, a sign that says "Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again."The citizens of Clearview have been complaining about a rash of thefts, and Rhodes suspects that the dead man may have been involved in them. But before he can solve that crime, he also has to deal with a number of other puzzling crimes in the community, ranging from a holdup at a convenience store to the disappearance of a loaf of bread. And then there's the dang gator.In Bill Crider's Survivors Will Be Shot Again, Sheriff Dan Rhodes learns that, as the old saying goes, crime doesn't pay. But it also doesn't take a vacation.
Sus manos estaban quietas (Zachary Goldman Misterios #2)
by P. D. WorkmanDe la autora superventas de USA Today, P.D. Workman. De todos modos, es mejor que esté muerto. Contratado para investigar la muerte de un niño autista en un centro de tratamiento, el detective privado Zachary Goldman está preocupado por las terapias que ve allí. Aunque le aseguran que los niños que allí se encuentran no sufren ningún daño, su investigación le lleva a descubrir abusos institucionales aún más profundos. Luchando contra los fantasmas de su propio pasado, Zachary lucha por descubrir los oscuros secretos del centro y por sacar del peligro a todos los niños que pueda. [La forma en que PD Workman mostró la perspectiva autista en contraste con las opiniones dominantes sobre nosotros fue encantadora. Lo aprecié más de lo que puedo expresar con palabras. Ella hizo una investigación exhaustiva sobre múltiples lados del tema y se nota. Ofrece múltiples puntos de vista de los autistas, no sólo uno, y la forma en que los presenta me hizo llorar varias veces... La historia en sí es un misterio sólido con muchos giros emocionantes en el camino. Incluso si no me interesara el tema (siendo yo mismo autista y teniendo hijos autistas), lo habría disfrutado como un misterio. Ahora que he leído este libro, es muy probable que compre más libros suyos. Zachary Goldman, investigador privado, tiene defectos con mayúsculas. Destrozado por las tragedias de su propia vida, de alguna manera se las arregla para levantarse y cavar un poco más profundo que los demás para encontrar las pistas vitales. Tal vez el hecho de estar destrozado haga más fácil que otros que se han enfrentado a la tragedia confíen en él. Acompaña a Zachary en la resolución de casos que pondrán a prueba sus habilidades. Incluso con su propia vida destrozada, Zachary Goldman sigue siendo la persona que quieres en el caso. ¡Investiga este misterio de investigador privado ahora!

Now her good friend Molly O'Brien is in bad trouble, accused of killing her boss at the local restaurant Jugs.<P> Good Girls Guide to Murder: Website designer and high-society rebel Andrea Kendricks would never have gotten involved with ego-in-pumps lifestyle hostess Marilee Mabry if it weren’t for the underhanded machinations of Andy’s upper-crust mama.

And, boy, does she find one when aging beauty queen Miranda DuBois bursts into the room—drunk, disorderly, and packing a pistol.

Suspect
by Scott TurowThe #1 New York Times bestselling author of Presumed Innocent and The Last Trial returns with a riveting legal thriller in which a reckless private detective is embroiled in a fraught police scandal.For as long as Lucia Gomez has been the police chief in the city of Highland Isle, near Kindle County, she has known that any woman in law enforcement must walk a precarious line between authority and camaraderie to gain respect. She has maintained a spotless reputation—until now. Three male police officers have accused her of soliciting sex in exchange for promotions to higher ranks. With few people left who she can trust, Chief Gomez turns to an old friend, Rik Dudek, to act as her attorney in the federal grand jury investigation, insisting to Rik that the accusations against her are part of an ugly smear campaign designed to destroy her career and empower her enemies—both outside the police force and within.. Clarice &“Pinky&” Granum spent most of her youth experimenting with an impressive array of drugs and failing out of various professions, including the police academy. Pinky knows that in the eyes of most people, she's nothing but a screwup—but she doesn't trust most people's opinions anyway. Moreover, she finally has a respectable-enough job as a licensed P.I. working for Rik on his roster of mostly minor cases, like workman's comp, DUIs and bar fights. Rik's shabby office and even shabbier cases are a far cry from the kinds of high-profile criminal matters Pinky became familiar with in the law office of her grandfather, Sandy Stern. But Rik and Pinky feel that Chief Gomez&’s case, which has attracted national attention, is their chance to break into the legal big leagues. Guided by her gut instinct and razor-sharp investigative skills, Pinky dives headfirst into a twisted scandal that will draw her into the deepest recesses of the city&’s criminal networks, as well as the human mind. But she will need every scrap of tenacity and courage to unravel the dark secrets those closest to her are determined to keep hidden.
