Roadwork:
Stephen King
It's all coming to an end for Barton Dawes. The city's
Highway 784 extension is in the process of being
constructed right across town and inexorably through
every aspect of Bart's existence - whether it's about to
barrel over the laundry plant where he makes a living,
or soon to smash through the very home where he makes a
life. But as a result, something's been happening inside
Bart's head that a heartless local bureaucracy isn't
prepared for - a complete and irrevocable burnout of the
mental circuit breaker that keeps a mild-mannered person
from turning to violent means. As the wheels of progress
and a demolition crew continue unabated throughout
Bart's neighborhood, he's not about to give everything
up without a fight. As a matter of fact, he's ready and
waiting to ignite an explosive confrontation with the
legislative forces gathered against him.

The Empowered: Craig
Parshall
Just when a mysterious death in Washington, DC, appears
to have voodoo connections rooted in New Orleans, Trevor
Black also receives an invitation to speak at the
national ABA convention in the city. He knows he'll be
in enemy territory, both as a disbarred attorney and as
a follower of Jesus, but he determines to travel there
and confront the supernatural element. Right after a
grisly murder in his hotel room puts him on the suspect
list, his daughter disappears, leaving a note that
suggests a connection to the local cult religion. Now
Trevor must not only crack the case but try to protect
Heather from forces of darkness clutching at her soul as
well. And just as he discovers that his ability to sniff
out the supernatural has its limitations, Trevor learns
that this web of evil extends far beyond isolated
murders, enslaving scores of innocent children, with its
head perhaps linked to the highest seats of power.

Dreams
of Ivory and Gold: Kirk Dougal
Gregor Novara hunts evil, despite being loathed by those
who see him as an abomination for the incubus blood
flowing through his veins. In Dreams of Ivory and Gold,
Gregor Novara hunts another of his kind, seeking to stop
an incubus before it can put a cataclysmic prophecy into
motion - a prophecy the Catholic Church has hidden for
centuries. Novara's hopes gradually turn to despair as
he descends into darkness and risks giving in to the
very evil he is hunting. Meanwhile, New York City
homicide detective Morgan Kelly is plagued with a
growing list of murdered women. The mutilated victims
are interlinked by the manners of their deaths and an
ancient bloodline. Fresh off a psych evaluation (and a
suspension), Detective Kelly desperately seeks the
killer, while also dealing with the ongoing nightmares
disrupting her life. Father Roger Greene has been
ordered by the Vatican to watch over the emotionally
unstable emissary called Gregor Novara, while also
counseling his childhood friend, the aforementioned
Detective Kelly.

Games with the Dead:
James
Nally
When a young woman is kidnapped, Donal is brought in to
deliver the ransom money. But the tightly-planned drop
off goes wrong, Julie Draper is discovered dead, and
Donal finds his job on the line - a scapegoat for the
officers in charge. But when Donal is delivered a
cryptic message in the night, he learns that Julie was
killed long before the botched rescue mission. As he
digs further into the murder in a bid to clear his own
name, dark revelations make one thing certain: the
police are chasing the wrong man, and the killer has far
more blood on his hands than they could even imagine.
