Congratulations to the winners of the last giveaway. Susan B. from Seattle, WA won Disturbing the Dead. Sharon B. from Albuquerque, NM will receive A Deadly Endeavor. The books went out in the mail yesterday.
This week, I have a suspense novel and a PI novel.
Brandi Wells’ The Cleaner is actually classified as dark humor or literary fiction. Every night, she cleans. On the fourth floor of an unnamed office in an unnamed city, the night cleaner comes and does what she does best—sorts out the messes of the daytime employees. None of them know her, but she knows everything about them: Sad Intern’s dreams to get promoted, Résumé Woman’s nasty flight-risk behavior, Mr. Buff’s secret smoking habit (not very conducive to his fitness journey). She’s the office mastermind, the one everyone needs, and no one even knows she exists. And tonight, while scrolling through your emails, she’ll discover the secret you’ve been hiding—the one that will put everyone’s job at risk. After all, protecting the employees is her responsibility: whether it’s from rats and window smudges or from the sinister CEO who may be driving the company into ruin. And you’re about to find out that, sometimes, your most powerful enemy is the one you don’t even see.
Maybe you’d prefer a noir thriller, The Devil’s Daughter by Gordon Greisman. Most nights PI Jack Coffey can be found hanging out in smoky Greenwich Village jazz clubs with well-known mobsters, jazzmen, and hoods. So, when an uptown financier calls him in for a job, it seems like he’s headed for tonier climes. But it turns out the view from Louis Garrett’s lavish penthouse overlooks the same vice-ridden Manhattan streets, which explains why he’s so desperate to find his missing teenage daughter, Lucy. When Jack’s search for Lucy leads him to swanky nightclubs packed with well-dressed pimps and wealthy drug dealers, he begins to wonder if Garrett is really concerned about his daughter’s welfare or if he simply fears she may reveal his own shocking secrets. After an attack outside Jack’s own apartment and Lucy‘s boyfriend is found floating face down in the East River, the story kicks into high gear. But death threats, crooked cops, lies, or ugly truths can’t stop Jack from finishing the job–whether an angel or a devil, Lucy is still a kid in danger, and Jack will do whatever it takes to find her.
