Hardball (V. I. Warshawski) by Sara Paretsky (ARC from publisher)
Chicago’s unique brand of ball is sixteen-inch slow pitch, played in leagues all over the city for more than a century. But in politics, in business, and in law enforcement, the game is hardball. When V. I. Warshawski is asked to find a man who’s been missing for four decades, a search that she figured would be futile becomes lethal. Old skeletons from the city’s racially charged history, as well as haunting family secrets—her own and those of the elderly sisters who hired her—rise up to brush her back from the plate with a vengeance. A young cousin whom she’s never met arrives from Kansas City to work on a political campaign; a nun who marched with Martin Luther King Jr. dies without revealing crucial evidence; and on the city’s South Side, people spit when she shows up. Afraid to learn that her adored father might have been a bent cop, V. I. still takes the investigation all the way to its frightening end.

Bone Chiller by R.M. Heske (Offer from author)
From the writer of THE NIGHT PROJECTIONIST (soon to be a motion picture) comes a darkly disturbing 140-page horror anthology featuring 8 great scares and 2 chilling extras. BONE CHILLER carves up the best of COLD BLOODED CHILLERS, the horror noir series that Broken Frontier says is perhaps the very best of the independently published anthologies available today. Enter a world where Man is the worst kind of monster imaginable — and be prepared to lose some serious sleep!
