THE ARCHANGEL PROJECT by C.S. Graham — When the charred remains of Tulane professor Henry Youngblood are discovered in the burned-out ruins of his New Orleans offices, the CIA sends maverick troubleshooter Jax Alexander to investigate. Joined in a reluctant partnership with remote viewer October “Tobie” Guinness, Jax struggles to decipher a cryptic set of clues that leads from the devastated neighborhoods of New Orleans to the power corridors of Washington, D.C. Pursued by agents of an influential oil and defense conglomerate with ties to the President himself, Jax and Tobie soon find themselves in a breakneck race against time to stop a ruthless killer and avert a diabolical plot that could devastate America.
SOME BURIED CAESAR / THE GOLDEN SPIDERS by Rex Stout — A prize bull destined for the barbecue is found pawing the corpse of a late restaurateur. Nero Wolfe is certain that bull Hickory Caesar Grindon isn’t the murderer. But who among a veritable stampede of suspects turned the tables on Hickory’s would-be butcher? And a 12-year-old boy shows up at Wolfe’s brownstone with an incredible story. Soon the great detective finds himself hired for the grand sum of $4.30 and faced with the question of why the last two people to hire him were murdered. To keep it from becoming three, Wolfe must discover the unlikely connection between a gray Cadillac, a mysterious woman and a pair of earrings shaped like spiders dipped in gold.
THE DARKER SIDE by Cody McFadyen — A lie, a long-ago affair, a dark desire — everyone has secrets they take to the grave. No one knew that better than FBI special agent Smoky Barrett. But what secret was a very private young woman keeping that led to her very public murder? And what kind of killer was so driven and so brazenly daring that he’d take her life on a commercial airliner 30,000 feet in midair, a killer so accomplished that he’d leave only a small souvenir behind? These are the questions that bring Smoky and her hand-picked team of experienced manhunters from L.A. to the autumn chill of Washington, D.C., by order of the FBI director himself — and at the special request of a high-powered grieving D.C. mother.
