PENITENT by Pete Brassett

A Scottish murder mystery with a devilish twist.

When the known stalker of a young woman is arrested for her murder, it should be an open-and-shut case for DI Charlie West.

A woman is found bludgeoned to death in a swimming pool. A pensioner who disappeared many moons ago turns up out of the blue. A cockeyed boxer has more success outside the ring than in it.

What connects these events may or may not be the clue DI Charlie West is looking for to solve the latest murder on her patch.

With her mentor James Munro recovering from heart bypass surgery, she will have to rely on her own wits and those of her trusted team to progress the investigation.

But just when West has a likely suspect in custody and looks set to finally cut the apron strings, Munro returns to the scene – his enforced repose having done little to dent his appetite for the finer and richer things in life – with an oblique angle on the case.

Has West got it right, or will her suspect go free and the investigation have to start from square one?

ERROR OF JUDGEMENT by John Dean

Years after a fatal plane crash, the investigation is reopened when a missing body is discovered.

It was a tragedy that shocked the nearby Pennine communities to the core. Several deaths were recorded, but one body was never found. That changes when a mountain rescue team, on a mission to help an injured hill walker, stumbles upon a corpse still strapped into an airplane seat.

But something is not quite right. Is the body they found really the missing passenger? DCI Jack Harris feels obliged to launch a new inquiry into the crash. Few people want old wounds reopened, least of all the widow of the pilot and the original investigating officer.

Foul play had been ruled out in the initial findings. Now Harris is not so sure. But a flurry of activity – financial and criminal – kicks off once the news became national. Someone is hiding something, and they are clearly prepared to kill to cover their tracks.

Can Harris crack the mystery and return to his blissful walks in the hills in peace? Or will his meddling in closed cases annoy the powers that be so much that he finally gets the boot?

ERROR OF JUDGEMENT is a standalone in a series of six books featuring the veteran nature-loving detective, DCI Jack Harris. The full list, in order of publication, is:

1.DEAD HILL
2.THE VIXEN’S SCREAM
3.TO DIE ALONE
4.TO HONOUR THE DEAD
5.THOU SHALT KILL
6.ERROR OF JUDGEMENT

These books are available on Kindle Unlimited and in paperback.

If you enjoy conventional murder mysteries that keep you guessing, you’ll love these books.

Boulevard Dreams by E Ryan Janz

Down and out private eye, Joe Nails, has a problem.
He endures a brief series of surrealistic dreams, in which his long-lost friend pleads for his help before turning a gun to his head and firing. Joe discovers the suicide did occur, a month before his dreams began, so he deepens his probe beneath the mystifying and smoky noir underbelly of 1958 San Francisco, and encounters rising walls of lies and heartbreak from amorous and anguished women alike, and stumbles across incomprehensible goons and vicious killers longing for further bliss, and where his long slow descent painfully binds him to a ruthless yet respectable kingpin bent on reigning over him.
Joe Nails has a problem all right, an entire shopping list of them, but as he speeds down an unrelenting road of murder and mystery with no off-ramps, he just may solve a few…providing the approaching .357 yearning for another victim allows it.
