Four years after the bursting of the great consumer debt bubble, the country is dangerously overleveraged, and underemployed. The United States is quickly losing its competitive edge against the goods-producing industries of China and India.

In an environment of stagnated government leadership, five highly accomplished entrepreneurial leaders step forward. They hope to solve the economic problems by implementing “Employ American,” a step-by-step strategy designed to restore the competitiveness of American manufacturers.

Sovereign governments, offshore manufacturers, foreign oil producers, and domestic power generating utility companies are threatened by the possible realization of the "Employ American" plan. Their efforts to prevent the Sentinels from achieving their goal are constantly, menacingly present.

A Matter of Importance unfolds through the drama of the evolving lives of each of the principal characters. Romance, fear, victory, and disappointment are never very far away.

The world is changing. No longer black and white. The men we expect to be heroes aren’t so heroic anymore. And the ones thought to have no heroics in them surprise the hell out of us.

The Sin Factor is a story about perceptions, misconceptions and what can happen when those who misconceive abuse their power. In short—a few good men gone wild.

When Jeffrey Sinclair is forced to unravel the puzzle of who is stealing from his company and why, he gets caught up in a deadly game, one perpetrated by those who’ve vowed to serve and protect. He and his colleagues infiltrate the life of the one person they feel is the link to solving the mystery, Avery Montgomery, the widow of the last person known to have their devices in his possession before he died.

Avery is a woman heroes marry and protect for life, and Sin’s never been the protecting, hero type, not like her dead husband was. When it becomes obvious that someone is threatening Avery, Sin believes it’s for the same reasons he and his partners are interested in her. He follows the twists and turns of the chase and does everything in his power to keep her safe while fighting to keep the attraction he feels in check. And in the end he realizes that somehow he’s become exactly what he never thought possible…her hero.

Abigail St. Michael, a former cop, has joined the recently growing ranks of metaphysicals, individuals with abilities outside that of normal human nature. When a murderer stalks her town killing children, Abbey uses her ability of touch clairvoyance to hunt him down. Her only roadblock is that her murderer seems to have his own unique talent, the ability to 'wipe' his victims and their surroundings of any metaphysical energy. With little physical evidence and no supernatural evidence, Abbey is forced to rely on instinct and luck to solve the case. However both Abbey's luck and instinct seem to have taken a permanent vacation as the victims keep piling up with the killer's escalating blood lust.

"Taut, engaging, and supremely well written, The Raven Affair is a superb instant classic. With more than its fair share of break-neck action and mindnumbing suspense, author Steven Nedelton's compelling thriller is a fastpaced page turner, the literary equivalent of such silver screen jewels as the Bourne series.
The Raven Affair is a bona fide literary thrill ride guaranteed not to disappoint.
Highly recommended."

Customer tags: mystery thriller(3), james grenton, suspense, book - kindle free

The Top 100 Kindle bestseller

Deep in the jungles of Colombia, a brutal and fast-growing drugs cartel has genetically-modified cocaine to make it ten times more powerful and addictive than any other drug. They call it:

BLACK COKE

Nathan Kershner is an agent with the UK’s Serious Organised Crime Agency and a former special forces operative. Often working undercover, he has single-handedly brought down some of the most wanted criminals in the world.

But when he clashes with the drugs cartel and tries to stem the flow of Black Coke into Europe and the US, he finds himself up against his most difficult assignment yet.

On a mission that takes him from the crack houses of North London to the underground drug labs of southern Colombia, Nathan enters the darkest regions of the war on drugs, where treachery, greed and violence reign.

With the drugs cartel growing in power by the day, Nathan has to decide just how far he is prepared to go to avert disaster.


What readers have said about James Grenton’s novels:

‘Black Coke is an excellent thriller - one of the best I've ever read.’

‘Grenton's characters are certainly made to suffer, but this is a more grown-up affair than Ludlum's Bourne trilogy - probably a reflection of the moral ambiguity of the modern world in contrast to the clear distinctions of the Cold War. There are no forgone conclusions here, and this is not a comfortable ride for the reader; there are some genuinely shocking moments, and it is hard not to feel tainted by the corruption and compromise of the main characters and events.’

‘It's the originality of the writing and the strength of the plot that really worked for me. I couldn't put the book down!’

‘A terrific read and highly recommended.’

‘I simply couldn't put it down, the action keeps you hooked until the last scene.’

‘A real page turner - full of action and excitement throughout. I've not read a book so quickly in years!’


About the author: After 15 years in the international development sector, James burst onto the thriller scene in 2011 with his debut novel, the Somali Doctrine, which tells the story of an Interpol agent's mission to stop the two madmen who have taken control of the world's largest NGO. James is now working on his third thriller, to be published later this year.

Customer tags: mystery thriller(4), mystery(2), police procedural(2), small town sheriff, sheriff jim weber, jesse stone series, jessee stone, arizona white mountains, nick russell, hippies, big lake mystery

Everybody seems to have gone crazy in the little mountain community of Big Lake, Arizona. Neighbors are threatening violence, eco-protestors are on the march, flower children are camping in the nearby forest, two of Sheriff Jim Weber’s deputies have gotten into a fistfight in the ButterCup Café, the grocery store manager has locked himself in his office and won’t come out, bears are chasing dogs into houses, and somebody has stolen the town’s mascot. As if that isn’t enough to deal with, a mild mannered retired couple have shot an intruder during a home invasion. By the time this wild tale is finished, more blood will be shed and the good people of Big Lake will be left wondering just how well they really know their neighbors.

Many of the characters that made the first two books in the Big Lake book such a hit are back, along with some new ones readers will remember for a long time.

One reviewer has referred to the Big Lake mystery series as “Mayberry Meets Twin Peaks." It’s a combination of humor and intrigue that launched author Nick Russell’s first Big Lake book into Amazon’s 100 Top Paid Kindle books for over 78 days, and Crazy Days in Big Lake, the third book in this popular series, is sure to be a hit too!

Homicide Detective John Cooper has always followed the evidence to solve any case until a mysterious caller makes him question that evidence.

The evidence proves the guilt of those involved, but the calls make him start to question the evidence and himself - for the first time in his career.

With each move, John finds himself caught up in a game with an unknown opponent who is always one step ahead and seems to know John better than he knows himself, but how? How can someone know every detail of the murder cases and not be involved? But most importantly, how can this chilling caller know everything about John? As John prepares himself to take on the challenge, he soon realizes that everything he's believed in is no longer part of his new reality.

"Tony Moffitt's 'Die By The Sword' is a rattling good yarn!
Moffitt's writing style reminds me a lot of Lee Child's early books. His sentences are short, clipped and sharp... and yet the story itself is reminiscent of Wilbur Smith's early stand-alone action adventure novels such as 'Eye of the Tiger', 'Hungry as the Sea' and 'Shout at the Devil' (as well as some of Desmond Bagley's adventure novels).
The main character has the wit and sarcasm of Nelson DeMille's wonderful John Corey character from DeMille's best sellers 'Plum Island' and 'The Lion's Game'.
Moffitt's main character Todd Kent isn't anywhere near as tough as Nelson DeMille's John Corey, but if you imagine someone like a young Bruce Willis from his 'Die Hard' days in the lead role, then you'd be on the right track.
The book is a full-on entertaining action adventure ride! By the end of the novel our hero has endured as much as any man could survive... but that's all part of this wild adventure that begins at breakneck speed and never, ever relents!"
- Bradley J. Boothe


"WARNING! This is one of those very, very rare adventure novels that will live up to every action/adventure fan's expectations. I could not put it down."
- Allan Collins.

"Sit down and hold on tight. Die By The Sword has more action, more twists and more excitement in the first three chapters than any other book I can recall."
- Jason O'Toole.

About Die By The Sword:
A 200 year old military secret that would change America and Australia forever... A hero unlike any other you have met before... An action-packed adventure that sweeps around the world from America to the storm-ravaged oceans of Australia's Bass Strait. A tense mystery where nothing is what it seems and no one is who they say.

"Tony Moffitt has created an absolutely crazy-good, head-spinning, action-packed romp catapulting you from a sleazy bar in Manhattan to the High Seas of Tasmania. I was hooked from the first page (guys will especially appreciate the opening lines) and then swept up into the perpetual windstorm of action whirling around our quirky Aussie hero, Todd Kent. Is it believable? Who cares? This is entertainment!
Of special mention is the excellent cinematic writing style that would demand someone like a young and battered Bruce Willis (ala Die Hard) to play the character who can survive what Moffitt puts him through. Todd ruefully grows into himself by meeting challenge after challenge; from a guy who some called a coward into someone he actually likes. And the first-person narrative is laced with self-deprecating humor. The best hair-raising adventures are always enhanced with comic relief."
- Elinor Mavor
