Dead Cold Mysteries Box Set: Books 11-13
Blake Banner - 2018
So a small island off the north coast of Scotland in a 16th century castle seems to be just the job.After all, two out of three isn’t bad. At first the place seems idyllic: The wild landscapes are breathtaking, the northern lights otherworldly and the fire-side talk, fuelled by good whisky and good Angus steak, is fascinating. Maybe a bit too fascinating when it leads to a forty year old mystery about a man murdered, shot with a .38 in a locked room in circumstances which are, quite simply, impossible. And when the island is cut off by a storm, and an identical murder is committed, well, what are two cold case cops on honeymoon to do…?Book 12: The Butcher of WhitechapelIt was the first time John Stone had been back to London for fifteen years. Last time had been on an exchange program between the NYPD and Scotland Yard: an exchange of skills and experience that was supposed to last six months, but went one for a year and a half. This time he was on honeymoon with his partner and wife, Carmen Dehan. And it seemed, as they prepared to return home, that history was repeating itself.Because, as they were leaving the hotel for the airport, the call came; the call that said they had to stay, the call that said the killer was back, the one he’d been searching for fifteen years ago, the one who haunted all his secret nightmares - the one that got away.So now he has to share his dark secrets, and his nightmares, with his new bride.

Lutricia Clifton - 2018
This insight into human nature proves to be the driving force behind Detective Sam Chitto’s pursuit of justice in The Horned Owl, the third book in the Sam Chitto mystery series. Two Choctaw tribal council members pull Chitto into an unauthorized investigation to prove a teenage boy is innocent of murder and sexual mutilation. Using graphic novels the boy produced, prosecutors enlist the aid of a forensic psychiatrist to prove the boy committed a fantasy murder. Also suspect is the reason the boy gave for being seen near the body after the murder: the Choctaw deity Ishkitini, the Horned Owl, forewarned him in the night that someone would die violently. One case investigation becomes two as Chitto realizes the murder occurred where his father was killed a decade before. Chitto’s efforts to discover the moon side of various characters drives the action in both investigations. The juxtaposition of the ancient Caddoan mound civilization with modern forensic methodology adds interest. "Another sharp mystery in a continually improving series.” – Kirkus Reviews
