Your Mystery and Thriller Book Bargains for November 14, 2018

A few short blocks from the safety of the museums and monuments on the National Mall, a ruthless murderer roams the Capital, stalking his prey. Federal prosecutor Jeff Trask joins a team of FBI agents and police detectives as they try and solve a series of brutal murders. As the body count rises, the investigation leads to a chilling confrontation with the leader of an international drug smuggling ring, and no one is safe, not even the police.

Capital Kill uses a backdrop story of the dangerous Jamaican drug “posses” that were responsible for dramatic increases in the murder rates from New York to Miami in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s to create a vivid and accurate police procedural of federal and local teamwork from investigation to prosecution.

Jeremy Adler’s an inspiration. For treachery, blackmail and murder.

When Jerry Adler disappears from his Vegas hotel room in a shower of broken furniture and mystery, the local press can’t get enough of his outrageous story, nor the OCD rookie, Detective Dinwiddy, who takes on the investigation as a personal mission.

Mysterious disappearance or premeditated murder?

Finding suspects isn’t hard – seems Jerry’s turned making enemies into an art form. Snagged in a web of indignant divorce, masochistic employment and eye-rolling family disappointment, Jerry’s given one too many people an axe to grind and, unhappily for him, they’ve all become dangerously sharp.

A thrilling, hilarious and frantic journey.

With a cast of endearingly off beat characters, It’s Killing Jerry spins a tale of jealousy, greed and shocking bad luck.

Life sucks, but being Jerry is murder.
