England:
October, 1463. The great slaughter of the battle of Towton is two years past,
but England is still not at peace. The Northern Parts of the land remain in the
hands of the Lancastrian king, while in the south, the princes of the house of
York prepare for war. Uneasy alliances are forged and just as quickly broken: a
friend one day might be your enemy the next, and through this land, pursued by
the Church and the Law, a young man, Thomas, and a young woman, Katherine, must
make their way, bearing proof of a secret both sides would kill to learn. Bent
on revenge for a past outrage, Thomas and Katherine must turn their backs on their
friends and journey to the mighty castle of Bamburgh, there to join a weakened
king as he marshals his army to take up arms in one of the most savage civil
wars in history: the Wars of the Roses.

When
Billy Ellison, the son of Washington, D.C.’s most influential African-American
family, is found dead in the Potomac near a violent drug haven, veteran metro
reporter Sully Carter knows it’s time to start asking some serious questions—no
matter what the consequences. With the police unable to find a lead and
pressure mounting for Sully to abandon the investigation, he has a hunch that
there is more to the case than a drug deal gone bad or a tale of family
misfortune. Digging deeper, Sully finds that the real story stretches far
beyond Billy and into D.C.’s most prominent social circles. An alcoholic still
haunted from his years as a war correspondent in Bosnia, Sully now must strike
a dangerous
balance between D.C.’s two extremes—the city’s violent, desperate
back streets and its highest corridors of power—while threatened by those who
will stop at nothing to keep him from discovering the shocking truth. Murder DC is by Neely Tucker and is due
to be published in July 2015.

can make sense of them. The disturbing images lead her from her home in suburban
New York City to small-town Louisiana, where she takes a commission to write a
true-crime book based on the case of Gabriel Deveau, the young heir to a
wealthy and infamous Southern family, whose kidnapping thirty years ago has
never been solved. There she meets the Deveau family, none of whom are telling
the full truth about the night Gabriel disappeared. And as she uncovers long
buried secrets of love, money, betrayal, and murder, the facts begin to
implicate those she most wants to trust—and her visions reveal an evil closer
than she could have imagined.
