Rob Brunet - Stinking Rich (Down & Out Books) September 8, 2014
What could possibly go wrong when the backwoods Libidos Motorcycle Club hires a high school dropout to tend a barn full of high-grade marijuana? Plenty, it turns out. In a world where indoor plumbing’s optional and each local wacko is more twisted than the last, drug money draws reprobates like moths to a lantern. From loveable losers to gnarly thugs and law-and-order wannabes, every last one of them has an angle—their best shot at being stinking rich. And with their own warped ideas about right, wrong, and retribution, the Libidos aren’t far behind.

Cook - Sabotage (Forge Books) September 9, 2014
An
extortionist commandeers a weapons technology that could irreversibly alter the
international balance of power. Nothing is known about him, other than his
alias: “Viking.” Pitted against terrorist conspirators in a bidding war for the
technology, the responsible U.S. defense corporation can’t touch him as long as
he controls a hijacked cruise ship in the North Atlantic.
The
key to bringing the Viking down may lie in the disappearance of Stanford professor
Malcolm Clare, celebrated aviator, entrepreneur, and aerospace engineer.
Searching for Clare is doctoral candidate Austin Hardy, who seeks out the man’s
daughter, Victoria—an icy brunette with a secret that sweeps them to Saint
Petersburg. Aided by a team of graduate students on campus, the pair must
devise Trojan horses and outfox an assassin in order to unravel the Viking’s
scheme.
Austin
and Victoria are not alone in their efforts. Former Air Force combat weatherman
Jake Rove, one of three thousand passengers held hostage aboard the luxury
liner, is determined to weaken the ship’s hijackers: He must evade detection,
dive by night, and communicate intelligence to the Stanford team as they
struggle to prevent international disaster and economic collapse in the United
States.
Both
on U.S. soil and thousands of miles away, the story roars into action at supersonic speed as Austin and Victoria race
to uncover the Viking’s trail of deception, betrayal . . . and sabotage.

Nicolello - Dead Don’t Lie (Harlequin HQN) September 1,
2014
You can run from the past…but you can never truly hide…
Detective Evelyn Davis delves deep into the minds of
monsters for a living. She's the best psychological profiler in the Seattle
P.D., with a talent that comes from heartbreaking experience. When Evelyn was
just eighteen, she received word of her family's murder in the form of a
horrifying video. Fifteen years later, tracking down other psychopaths is the
only thing that brings her some peace.
But
now two local families have been wiped out. Though the chilling crime scenes
suggest murder-suicides, Evelyn believes a serial killer is at work. So does
Special Agent Marcus Moretti, whose easy charm and fiercely protective instincts
are breaking down all her defenses. Evelyn needs to put aside her emotional
attachment to find the madman stalking her city—but with each discovery, this
case becomes more personal. She's starting to suspect the killer wants her—and
he is edging closer with every step, ready to make Evelyn pay a devastating
price….

Swatling - Calvin’s Head (Bold Strokes Books) September 15,
2014
Life
in Amsterdam isn’t all windmills and tulips when you’re homeless. Jason Dekker
lives in a jeep with his dog, Calvin, on the outskirts of the city. A thesis on
Van Gogh brought him to the Netherlands and the love of Dutch artist Willy Hart
convinced him to stay. But Willy is gone and Dekker is on the brink of a total
meltdown. On a sunny summer morning in the park, Calvin sniffs out the victim
of a grisly murder. Dekker sees the opportunity for a risky strategy that might
solve their problems. Unfortunately, it puts them directly in the sights of the
calculating stone-cold killer, Gadget. Their paths are destined to collide, but
nothing goes according to plan when they end up together in an attic
sex-dungeon. Identities shift and events careen out of control, much to the
bewilderment of one ever-watchful canine. Oscar Wilde wrote that each man kills
the thing he loves. He didn’t mean it literally. Or did he?
