Tormented — Book #4 in the Scorpio Stinger MC Series
Can there be redemption for a man with a tortured soul and a twisted heart?
Harrison:
Anger and hatred taint my soul.

Man against man, the biker and I fight for our beliefs, neither giving in.

for love.
I make it my life's work as a cop to wipe out the scum of
the earth. It’s my singular focus. My passion. Nothing else matters. I
don’t want anything more. No relationships, no family of my own to
distract me.
Claude is a Frenchman

Elsie
Lavender and Homer Hickam (the father of the author) were high school
classmates in the West Virginia coalfields, graduating just as the Great
Depression began. When Homer asked for her hand, Elsie instead headed

Dr. Kay Scarpetta is
working a suspicious death scene in Cambridge, Massachusetts when an
emergency alert sounds on her phone. A video link lands in her text
messages and seems to be from her computer genius niece Lucy. But how
can it be? It’s clearly a surveillance film of Lucy taken almost twenty
years ago.
As Scarpetta watches she begins to learn frightening
secrets about her niece, whom she has loved and raised like a daughter.
That film clip and then others sent soon after raise dangerous legal
implications that increasingly isolate Scarpetta and leave her confused,
worried, and not knowing where to turn. She doesn’t know whom she can
tell – not her FBI husband Benton Wesley or her investigative partner
Pete Marino. Not even Lucy.
Bennie Rosato the
founder of the Rosato & DiNunzio law firm hides her big heart
beneath her tough-as-nails exterior and she doesn't like to fail. Now, a
case from her past shows her how differently things might have turned
out. Thirteen years ago, Bennie Rosato took on Jason Leftavick, a
twelve-year-old boy who was sent to a juvenile detention center after
fighting a class bully. Bennie couldn't free Jason, and to this day it's
the case that haunts her. Jason has grown up in and out of juvenile
prison, and his adulthood hasn't been any easier. Bennie no longer
represents those accused of murder, but when Jason is indicted for
killing the same bully he fought with as a kid, she sees no choice but
to represent him. She doesn't know whether or not to believe his claims
of innocence, but she knows she owes him for past failures--of the law,
of the juvenile justice system, and of herself. Forced to relive the
darkest period of her life, Bennie will do everything in her power to
get the truth, and justice.
Taking place nearly a century before the events of A Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R. R.
Martin’s ongoing masterwork, A Song of Ice and Fire. These
never-before-collected adventures recount an age when the Targaryen line
still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not
yet passed from living consciousness.
From the New York Times bestselling author of A Constellation of Vital Phenomena—dazzling, poignant, and lyrical interwoven stories about family, sacrifice, the legacy of war, and the redemptive power of art.
This
stunning, exquisitely written collection introduces a cast of
remarkable characters whose lives intersect in ways both life-affirming
and heartbreaking. A 1930s Soviet censor painstakingly corrects
offending photographs, deep underneath Leningrad, bewitched by the image
of a disgraced prima ballerina. A chorus of women recount their stories
and those of their grandmothers, former gulag prisoners who settled
their Siberian mining town. Two pairs of brothers share a fierce,
protective love. Young men across the former USSR face violence at home
and in the military. And great sacrifices are made in the name of an oil
landscape unremarkable except for the almost incomprehensibly peaceful
past it depicts. In stunning prose, with rich character portraits and a
sense of history reverberating into the present, The Tsar of Love and Techno is a captivating work from one of our greatest new talents.
