get 'em while they're hot
Bad Moon on the Rise by Katy MungerWhen a young basketball star and his drug-addicted mother disappear without a trace, the boy’s ailing grandmother begs a reluctant Casey to find him before she dies. But even the normally unflappable Casey Jones is thrown for a loop when she discovers evidence of a murder in their wake and uncovers a shocking secret about the identity of the boy’s father. When the case gets very personal, Casey has a difficult time separating her professional and personal judgment — with disastrous results that put her freedom at peril and endanger the boy’s wellbeing. In this sixth Casey Jones mystery, kick-ass P.I. Casey is back with her trademark irreverence and a cast of supporting characters her fans have come to love, including her whale-sized boss, Bobby D., the ever-intrepid Marcus Dupree, Bill Butler, an old country boy flame and a new man in uniform who may just eclipse them all in Casey’s heart.

Blackbird Fly by Lise McClendonThe sudden death of her husband turns
Merle Bennett's life upside down. Her work for poor legal clients isn't
going to pay the bills and her son is kicked out of school. The blows
just keep on coming. Merle finds herself doing what she least expected,
decamping to France for the summer to fix up her late husband's
ancestral home. The village in southwest France should be idyllic: warm
sunshine, vineyards, and walls of golden stone. Merle gets an
off-the-books job as a tour guide at a local winery and evicts a
squatter. But the townspeople are more than merely unfriendly. As the
past unravels, colliding with modern tensions and the filthy trials of
renovation, the summer takes on a dark cast, full of secrets best left
buried. In her first stand-alone suspense novel, Lise McClendon reaches
deep into the past to find a France untouched by the outside world of
tourism and fashion. Writing in a "lyrical, often humorous style," she
brings both the pain and rewards of rebirth and the rich French
countryside to life. ISBN 978-0-9819442-7-2 ORDER NOW
The Bluejay Shaman by Lise McClendonTraveling the back roads of Montana, not-quite-fearless art gallery
owner Alix Thorssen is far from home and up to her Ray-bans in shaman's
secrets, mysterious deaths, madness, and -- ah yes -- passion among the
pine needles. Whoever killed Shiloh Merkin hated her and wanted her
dead. But did Wade Fraser, Alix's brother-in-law and University of
Montana anthropology professor, do the deed? What happened to the
petroglyph of the bluejay shaman? Alix follows a trail of sex, moonlit rituals, and legendary artifacts
as another murder leads her to a chilling confrontation with the
killer. In this first novel of the Jackson Hole series about Alix
Thorssen, Lise McClendon weaves a gripping tale of suspense, blending
Indian lore, the timeless clash of western values, and the magnificent
landscape of the Rockies. "Reminiscent of Tony Hillerman at his best,"
says James Crumley, author of The Last Good Kiss. ISBN 978-1419681332 ORDER NOW
Death of a Dream Maker by Gallagher GrayMax
Rosenbloom, multimillionaire owner of Manhattan-based Max Rose Fashions, is on his way
to see his former flame, Lillian Hubbert, when he's killed in a car bomb explosion
that rocks New York's fashion district. Because he's filthy rich and in
the mob-controlled rag trade, there's no end to suspects. But the list
becomes one less when Max's favorite nephew turns up dead in his
uncle's freshly dug grave.
Eighty-something Auntie Lil and her
own nephew, T. S. Hubbert, set forth on a dangerous quest that takes
them
from the sophisticated world of fashion to the lethal underworld of
murderous thugs, and from the white-collar realm of corporate
embezzlers to the skeleton-stuffed closets of unloving relatives. The
two sleuths just hope they can solve the murder and clear Max's name
before the killer gets to them in this, the third in the Hubbert &
Lil series by author Katy Munger, writing as Gallagher Gray. ISBN 978-0-9819442-2-7 ORDER NOW

determined to bring the killer to justice. But she
and her nephew T. S. Hubbert have their work cut out for them as it
becomes clear that most people thought hanging was too good for the victim.

crew--all had the motive and the opportunity to kill. But only one of

the truth -- and a pas de deux with a murderer. ISBN 978-0-9819442-3-4 ORDER NOW
One O'clock Jump by Lise McClendonHalfway around the world, war has begun, but for Dorie Lennox, a newly-minted private eye on her first tail, danger is more immediate. The dark streets of Kansas City of 1939 offer swing music, fast cars, gangsters, and the chance to forget about the Depression and her own murky past. But first she must conquer her fears and save a woman on a bridge high above the muddy Missouri. Dorie is thrown into a quickly unraveling scam that offers salvation to few — and misery to plenty — in the high stakes world of machine politics and desperation deals. With vivid prose and sharp dialogue, the world of Dorie Lennox comes alive, behind the wheel of her Packard in jazz-age Kansas City. The landscape of America and the homefront of World War II are evoked in a thoughtful mystery that lingers for the force of characters and keen sharpness of a slice of history seen through the perceptive, compassionate eyes of Dorie Lennox.
