| The
Judas Codex: Mark Everett Stone
Blaine Deschamps has succeeded Julian as head of the
all-powerful family known as the Sicarii, the fearsome
descendants of Judas, the apostle who betrayed Christ
for thirty pieces of silver. These silver coins became a
powerful artifact known as The Silver, giving the
Sicarii an edge in the battle against the forces of
Good. Jude Oliver, born Olivier Deschamps, renounced his
family and stole the Silver. In an epic battle, he
killed his father, Julian, putting a major crimp in the
Sicarii's plans. Although Jude gave his life to protect
mankind, his friend, the Catholic priest Father Mike
Engle, survived, and is now in possession of the Codex
Infernales, the Deschamps' unholy book. The Sicarii will
go to any lengths to kill Father Engle and retrieve the
Codex, but the task proves far more difficult than they
imagined. Mike is watched over by another arch-enemy of
the Sicarii who has eluded their assassins for
millennia: Cain, son of Adam, doomed to wander the Earth
until he is killed, or the end of time, whatever comes
first.

The
Empowered: Craig Parshall
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.

| The
Thirst: Jo Nesbo
The murder victim, a self-declared Tinder addict. The
one solid clue - fragments of rust and paint in her
wounds - leaves the investigating team baffled. Two days
later, there's a second murder: a woman of the same age,
a Tinder user, an eerily similar scene. The chief of
police knows there's only one man for this case. But
Harry Hole is no longer with the force. He promised the
woman he loves, and he promised himself, that he'd never
go back: not after his last case, which put the people
closest to him in grave danger. But there's something
about these murders that catches his attention,
something in the details that the investigators have
missed.

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.
