A bloody crime scene. A missing collection of rare coins worth over $20 million.  And the DNA evidence points to a former Army Ranger, who has been dead for over four years...

These are the clues Detective Richard Trotter is stuck with after the disappearance of  Woodrow Reed, a retired wealthy investor, and his wife Cynthia, from their mansion.  The forensic scientists  conclude that most of the blood in the house came from Cynthia.  When Woodrow is found alive in a remote area in the mountains, he confirms that his wife was killed in the house by masked assailants, who then kidnapped him and stole the coin collection.  

As the police is trying to find the remote mountain location where Woodrow was held captive, Trotter is looking into the background of the Army Ranger whose DNA was found at the crime scene.  Meanwhile, the FBI monitors international black markets for signs that the stolen coins are being offered for sale.   It turns out a few of them were ... several months before they were taken.

the Sixteenth Surgeon by AdrianOzryth

In a post-apocalyptic world, culled by war and resurrected in the same violent image, the capitol city streets of Amenthes are about to run red with blood. A society ruled by a class of hired killers known as Surgeons, balances on the edge of chaos, as a new operation gets the green light for hire. Roman Blue, the oldest and best Surgeon alive, steps out of retirement for a mark nobody saw coming...himself. Nobody believes it, that Roman, infamous killer of the highest pedigree, puts a bounty on his own head of 16 million dollars, to whoever shows up at the Organization claiming room with a Roman coin, (his calling card) covered in his own blood. Is this a statement of power, or a way for an old dog to die in the fires of glory? Rumors spread and Surgeons from far and wide find themselves in the same streets, feuding over territory and riches, as well as the respect of the one who finally kills the Roman. Speculation boils as theories surface, and greed fuels the rage of a city built on myths and bodies, where every top Surgeon has their trademark and their own nemesis, where the rules are about to break down. How do you kill a Roman? What does he have to gain, or is it all just for the bloody fun of it? 16 days, 15 Surgeons will fall. Who will be standing when the smoke clears? Place your bets, load your guns. All Hail Caesar.

*The First Volume Of The "Revelation" Trilogy* Alexander Price, a well-renowned billionaire and business tycoon, may seem to have it all in the eye of the public. With one failed marriage on his belt and another deteriorating one, he has closed himself off from love and happiness and has dedicated his time to only his work. Unfortunately, he cannot remain that way when the acceptance of a merger with another prominent company brings about shocking reveals of deceit, theft, betrayal, secrets and death from a past he chose to forget. Will he be able to overcome the challenges ahead of him? Will he be able to forgive himself when he finds out the devastating truth? _____________________________________ This is my first original novel and it took me forever to create a decent plot. I have seen a lot of Billionaire ex-wife stories that seemed to always start with the main female protagonist POV. I decided on starting with the male protagonist POV instead. Please do read, vote comment, share and enjoy. Love y'all.... Starting date: 07/03/2019

The Wolf's Prey by courtneyrush756

[completed!] Under editing! Man kind, invincible and scared of nothing. We were the superior race, and we revelled in it. We all thought we were the ones at the top of the food chain, completely untouchable. However it was like I said, we 'thought' we were. In the darkness lurks a creature like no other, that prays upon us. Hunting us! Waiting for just the right moment to strike, to knock us off of our high pedestal and back onto the ground. I know this because I have seen this beast. Been face to face with it, battled toe to toe with this creature, fighting for what was left of my life, and I was losing! - - - - - - - - "Watch out!" I scream in alert, as a hard thudding sound pierced our ears as something slammed into our side of the car, sending a sensation of dizziness as the car spun of of control. The screeching tires dragged along the floor, with the faint stench of the irony liquid dripping from my head as it all grew still...

Fame Or Love 🎙 by Giftedchic

Jesus Christ, she is losing too much blood. We are losing her and the baby... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My eyes continued to open and close as the doctor tried everything in his power to resuscitate me. I continued to stare at the hospital lights which flashed in my eyes. See I never thought I would fall for him. I never thought I would be here fighting for my life and I never thought I would lose my child. He was the last person I saw before taking what appeared to be my last and final moments. I never thought I would have to pick between fame- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Suddenly he stopped moving when he heard what appeared to be footsteps following his last and final movement. In his last moments, he thought about me. I was his first true love. As he turned around he watched as the gun was aimed directly at his head. The man who stood before him didn't appear like any ordinary man. He gave him a sinister smile as he continued to look him straight in his eyes. Who are you he asked the person? Karma he replied. This is for what you did to them because of you he might not even survive. This is for picking love over--- The person's eyes widened as he prepared himself to eject each clip into his target's head. Within a couple of minutes, the gun went off. Blood splattered everywhere. All that remained was the victim's body with a gunshot wound to the head. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gifted: Or love but wait let's go back to when it all started... This is my written testimony to: --------- FA M E OR LOVE ----------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning ⚠️ : The storyline was geared towards a mature audience and concentrates on diversity and real-life issues that people endure while pursuing fame and love...

Release Me by anna_rose01

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.
