A new thriller that some may want to read is entitled “Phantom Instinct,”
by Meg Gardiner. She is an Edgar Award
winning writer. This book received recognition as a stand-alone thriller (http://www.meggardiner.com/books/phantom-instinct).
In this book, protagonist, Harper Flynn is working as a bartender in a
very crowded dance and bar. There were probably 1200 people inside swaying to
the very loud music. The night was like any other night, but within seconds her
world literally explodes. Shots are
fired, Molotov cocktails thrown, smoke everywhere and then the collapse of the
building. She needs to get out, or like others she will be dead! Harper loses a lot in this incident – love,
health and clarity. Now, she has one
purpose, to find the last person who perpetrated this horrible crime. Injured, reeling and broken she must push
past her pain. Find out her journey.
James Patterson’s newest book which was co-authored by Michael Ledwidge
is “Burn.” It is the seventh book in the Michael Bennett series. Bennett is on
his way to a trial for a large drug dealer: the “Sun God’ or Perine Tepito’s
cartel was taken down during a large Coke bust. He was speaking for Tara McLellan who had
been killed by the Cartel. He thinks
this is going to be quick and easy and then he can go back home with his family
in New York. Wrong! How can such a
professional get it all wrong? He and the U.S. Marshals arrive at the court
house with a MS-13 gang protesting racism and segregation. By the dress and bandanas
their wearing Bennett knows this group of protesters is linked to the Tepito
cartel, plain and simple. Things happen and the suspense begins!
John Sandford also came out with a new book entitled, “Deadline.” In this
eighth book of the Virgil Flower series, protagonist Flowers is called to help
with a murder and local dog knapping.
Winky Butterfield has his dogs in his kennel. He walks out on his porch
and finds that someone is trying to steal his dogs. He rushes out with his gun
to try and stop him. The man gets away but not before he gets off a few shots. Flowers
is immediately called at 3:00 am for the theft of two Labrador dogs. A few days later he came into a meeting of
locals who had heard that many dogs were being taken. They were irate and some swore they’d kill
the person doing it. Since many were gun
toting savory types, Virgil did not take this lightly. A member of the
community suggested “bunchers” were taking the animals. Bunchers are those that
sell animals to laboratories. The case
of the stolen dogs is interesting but his life gets a bit crazier when Clancy
Conley is found shot to death. Enjoy reading this quick and exciting read!
