THE SEVENTH SACRAMENT by David Hewson — When 7-year-old Alessio Bramante vanished in Rome, there was plenty of blame to go around. His father, a professor of archaeology, inexplicably left Alessio alone near a labyrinth of ancient tunnels. Six of the professor’s students, fueled by booze and bravado, involved the boy in their own bizarre ritual at an altar of an ancient warrior god. And then there were the police: a commanding officer left Giorgio Bramante alone with the prime suspect, allowing Alessio’s father to beat the man to death. After years in prison, Giorgio has been set free and, one by one, those connected to the boy’s disappearance are dying. As Det. Nic Costa scrambles to find Giorgio, he is thrust into a darkening web of hidden perversions and secret passions past and present.
DEATH OF A COZY WRITER by G.M. Malliet — From his 18th-century English manor, millionaire Sir Adrian Beauclerk-Fisk writes mystery novels and torments his four spoiled children with threats of disinheritance.

Within hours, eldest son and appointed heir Ruthven is found cleaved to death by a medieval mace. When Detective Chief Inspector St. Just is brought in to investigate, he meets with a deadly calm that goes beyond the usual English reserve. And soon Sir Adrian himself is found slumped over his writing desk — an ornate knife thrust into his heart. Trapped amid leering gargoyles and stone walls, every member of the family is a likely suspect.
THE LAST PATRIOT by Brad Thor — Navy SEAL turned covert Homeland Security operative Scot Harvath is thrust back into the life he has tried so desperately to leave behind. Saving the intended victim of the attack, Harvath becomes party to an amazing and perilous race to uncover a secret so powerful that militant Islam could be defeated once and for all without firing another shot, dropping another bomb, or launching another covert action. But as desperate as the American government is to have the information brought to light, there are powerful forces aligned against it: men just as determined that Mohammed’s mysterious final revelation continue to remain hidden forever.
