The Gangster, by Clive Cussler & Scott Justin. Newest in Cussler's long-running Isaac Bell series (New to the series? Start with 2007's The Chase.), The Gangster begins in 1906 New York City, where the Italian crime group known as the Black Hand is on a spree of
kidnapping, extortion, and arson. Detective Isaac Bell of the Van Dorn
Agency is hired to form a special “Black Hand Squad,” but the gangsters
appear to be everywhere—so much so that Bell begins to wonder if there
are imitators, criminals using the name for the terror effect. And then
the murders begin, each one of a man more powerful than the last, and as
Bell discovers, to his dismay, the ultimate target may be the most
powerful man of all.
Clawback, by J.A. Jance. When Ali Reynolds's parents lose their life savings to a Ponzi scheme, her father
goes to confront his long-time friend and financial advisor, only to
stumble into the scene of a bloody double homicide. With her father
suddenly a prime suspect, Ali and her husband work to clear her father’s
name, while at the same time seeking justice for her parents as well as
the scheme’s other suddenly impoverished victims, one of whom is a
stone cold killer.
Darkness, by Karen Robards. Robards treats readers to her signature romantic suspense style in this latest novel, Darkness. Dr. Gina
Sullivan, a renowned ornithologist on a group research grant trip on the
remote island of Attu, Alaska, is on routine outing that turns sinister
at the onset of one of Attu’s infamous storms. Gina expects thunder and
lightning—but what she doesn’t see coming is the small jet plane that
drops out of the sky and into the water mere feet from her boat. Even
more unprecedented: there’s a sole survivor from the crash, and he needs
Gina’s help. But it turns out that rescuing the stranger and getting
them both out of the oncoming storm is just the beginning. Because the
more Gina learns about James “Cal” Callahan, the more she fears—for herself, and for him.
