Blog Tour: Zero Sum Game by S.L. Huang

What’s it about?

This near-future science fiction thriller features a mercenary whose genius level math prowess gives her superhuman abilities: taking down men twice her size and dodging not just fists, but bullets, too.

As far as Cas knows, she’s the only person around with a superpower, and she’ll take any job for the right price. Then, she discovers someone with a power even more dangerous than her own. Someone who can reach directly into people’s minds and twist their brains into Moebius strips. Someone intent on becoming the world’s puppet master.

Blog Tour: River of Secrets by Roger Johns

What’s it about?

Herbert Marioneaux, a Louisiana state legislator with a reputation for changing his mind on sensitive issues, has been murdered. DNA evidence points directly at Eddie Pitkin, a social justice activist who’s had well documents run-ins with Marioneaux before. Many in the court of public opinion are quick to call for Pitkin’s conviction.

Wallace Hartman, the homicide detective assigned to the investigation, is also the childhood best friend of Pitkin’s half-brother so, in the eyes of some, her objectivity is in question from the beginning. Wallace discovers an iffy alibi witness and evidence of a troubled relationship between Marioneaux and his son. Questions about the source of the DNA evidence surface. What began as an open and shut case becomes murky and politicized, sparking waves of violence across Baton Rouge. Wallace is forced to dig deep into the dark heart of the political establishment to untangle a web of old, disturbing secrets. Continue reading “Blog Tour: River of Secrets by Roger Johns”

Blog Tour: Blessed Be The Wicked by D. A. Bartley

What’s it about?

Detective Abish Taylor left Utah for a reason. But with her husband’s passing, it’s time to come home. Reconnecting with her family means dealing with her past: the father she abandoned and the community she left behind. Her one escape is serving as the sole police detective in the small town of Pleasant View. But when the quiet Mormon suburb in the Wasatch Mountains is shaken by a macabre death—with the hallmarks of a sacred ritual dating back to the days of Brigham Young— Abbie is called into action.

As she uncovers the dark side of the picturesque neighborhood—infidelity, corruption, and the greed of a global religion—Abbie discovers just how far some powerful leaders of the Church will go to bury their secrets. Especially as the brutal murder unearths a sinister tradition lurking in the religion’s not-so-distant past: the ultimate sacrifice for unforgivable sins. With the chief pressuring her to close the case and the community that once sheltered her watching her everything move, Abbie must find justice for the dead—before she’s silenced for good.
