As the body count rises, The Avenger contacts Dawn Samira an investigative reporter. Nita is assigned as liaison with the pushy lesbian, but a reporter got her best friend killed and Nita is in no mood to play nice. 

The only bright spot in Nita's life is her unlikely friendship with a homeless, black artist known as Molly the Pack Lady. When Molly suddenly dies, Nita is willed all of the old woman's art. Unknown to Nita, hidden within Molly's sketchpads is the key to the killer's identity. 

Nita must uncover the killer's identity before an innocent man becomes The Avenger's next victim.All Rights Reserved

Tessa Stark: Desert Heat by TinaBledsoe7

Special Detective Tessa Stark is called to the dusty desert town of Santa Maria to investigate the death of a local socialite and very soon finds herself with a sizable list of suspects. Wading through that list is going to be daunting task, especially given that the victim's uncle, a powerful United States Senator, doesn't trust that she can find the killer. But, perhaps even more daunting than solving a case that seems unsolvable, is having to face a piece of her past that she'd been avoiding for the last fifteen years. She can't allow the past to get in the way of her investigation, though. A young woman had been killed and a family had been left grieving, without answers and without justice. And who better to hunt down the killer and help the family begin to heal than the daughter of the infamous Robert Stark. After all, murder was in her DNA.

The Concrete Kiss by DavidGrace

Homicide Detective Ned Danes discovers that an ambitious Deputy D.A. has concealed evidence of an accused murderer's innocence in order to secure a headline-grabbing conviction. Danes torpedoes the corrupt Deputy D.A.'s case, and for his honesty, Danes is exiled to the tiny, basement office of the Cold Case Squad. Working in his forgotten outpost Danes becomes obsessed with finding the real killer whom the Deputy D.A.’s scheme has allowed to run free. But, just as he seems to be closing in, Danes receives a plea for help from an old friend. FBI agent Phillip Abbott has been put on leave for his last sixty days before his forced retirement. He has that long to catch a drug-cartel hit man whose specialty is murdering entire families. Completely alone, Abbott needs a courageous cop like Ned Danes to back him up. While Danes knows that Abbott has a seventeen-year-old adopted daughter, it is only after Danes agrees to help catch the killer that he discovers that the hit man murdered the girl’s entire family. Abbott promised her that he would get the monster no matter what it took and Danes soon learns that Abbott is willing to do anything, including breaking the law and possibly going to prison, to keep that promise. And after Danes and Abbot do all that, Ned still has a killer of his own to catch.

Vengeful ex-girlfriend(s). and a suspect on the run. *Book Two can be read as a stand-alone, but does contain spoilers for Book One* Having barely escaped Bay City alive, Kirby is ready for il dolce far niente in a quaint Sicilian town, hidden far away from murderers, the FBI, and her ex-girlfriend's mafia family... with the occasional, trivial art heist here and there to keep her busy. But when a nearby gallery lands a monumental art exhibition, Kirby can't resist attending the opening night, hoping she'll run into Desirae, the FBI agent who helped save her ass back in the States. As usual, Kirby gets more than what she bargained for. Desirae isn't the only ex-girlfriend to show up. After being left in Bay City to take the fall for an old art heist, Artemisia is out for blood. Caught in a dangerous love triangle, Kirby flees from the gallery to the home of her new handler, a Russian art collector who has ties to the Bratva.

But by morning, Kirby is waking up beneath an empty wall where a Caravaggio painting had been hanging and next to her in bed is a cold, bloody body. With Interpol hot on her trail, Kirby will have to rely on her vengeful ex-girlfriends to help her find out the truth of what happened that night. But Kirby soon learns, finding a killer takes a killer. And deadly desire will either bring them all together---or tear them apart. Heads will roll in this Skullduggery sequel. #ONC2024

He also happens to be one of Natasha's enemies, while she's known as SHIELD's agent Black Widow. And now Abby is racing, too. It's not to find Loki. It's not to try and keep her race hidden from the entire team. It's not even to avoid the whole NCIS's furious revenge plot. Her race is to try and find a way to save Natasha and find Loki at the same time. She's on a race to find the other five Avengers before time runs out for Washington D.C. The clock is counting down to take a friend's life, and it's up to Abby to assemble the team that could be her only chance of surviving.

Save Me by JayKay531

This is actually supposed to be the 5th installation of The Arrangement series but it's the third book I wrote. Feel free to read this while I write the actual 3rd part. Jordyn Kane-Evans is a 27 year old detective working with the Special Victims Unit. When she was younger she came across one of her mums old journals and when she found out about how she had been assaulted she knew right then that she wanted to put creeps like him behind bars. Whilst she had a successful career putting rapists away she wasn't very successful in the dating department. Even though what she did was quite noble, the women she dated couldn't handle it. They worried for her and couldn't take the long hours she had to work, sometimes working through the night. Her mothers worried for her, they just really wanted their Angel to settle down and find a good partner who could be there for her since she would need someone to emotionally support her considering how draining her job could be. Alex Carter, 28, is a prosecutor who takes on all rape cases and occassionally acts as a defence attorney especially when police brutality is involved. She has a deep hatred for cops. Especially Detective Kane-Evans and her sleazebag partner Detective Rivers. But she has no choice but to work with them especially in rape cases. Unfortunately, Detective Kane-Evans was the best in her field. Alex found her absolutely gorgeous with her long dark brunette hair which was almost black and her blue green eyes, too bad she was an asshole cop just like the rest of them. She hated it whenever she would try and flirt with her. It was totally unprofessional and completely uncalled for. No wonder why everyone calls cops pigs. But then something bad happens and she finds the only person who she can trust and who can protect her is Detective Kane-Evans. She soon finds out that maybe, just maybe not all cops are bad. Read at your own risk. This is a wlw book and has adult themes like sexual assault and murder.

The Venus Trap - COMPLETED (The 1st Installment of The Derek Welsh Trilogy) by NailaFauzia9

In a post-apocalyptic world where human civilization has been renewed and altered, a private detective Derek Welsh, accepted a missing girl case from his friend, he didn't expect to be caught up in a tangled and deadly web of an organized crime group, The Underground, which has infiltrated the city and all its layers, including the law enforcement. By then, corpses of young girls started appearing all over the city. They were brutally raped, tortured and murdered. Derek, his partner Rita, must join forces with the police, including Derek's lover Captain Patricia Gisborne and an ex-junkie, Chester, who was involved in transporting one o the missing girls. All of them must face mortal peril because The Underground will stop at nothing to keep their claws in. New Chapters uploaded every week! I have started this book about two years ago. I have always wanted to write a book that I want to read and I love crime stories with a touch of darkness. The characters that I created are not perfect. They all have flaws, just like all of us and I love to play with those flaws. I created them by heart and my love to them is equal. The word I created in this story sets in a distant future, where humans were survivors of a gargantuan apocalyptic disaster. It changes the way of living but in some aspects, but humanity stays the same. The cycle repeats itself and you can always find similarities. I own all the copyrights of these stories and I will take matter seriously to plagiarism. I hope that you enjoy my stories and can be entertained by them. Happy Reading ! Warmest Regards, Naila Fauzia
