By 2039, the world population has reached a staggering eleven billion and crime is at its ultimate high. When six horrific massacres shock the world, a council of world leaders is born with the goal of adopting the death penalty worldwide. Herb and Janet Ferguson have just started their young family. Herb is a prison guard in Toronto, Ontario, when the universal death penalty is implemented. Protests worldwide amass in objection to the once controversial law but aren’t able to stop its snowball effect. By 2045, executions are televised in America in a paid program called Kill Per View. When the TV show becomes a hit, other nations begin to adopt it, and soon, lawmakers press for more harsh executions and to include not just murders in the law but other serious crimes as well. Those against the law feel powerless, except for one—a serial killer emerges targeting executioners. When the Toronto executioner is murdered, Herb is asked to take his place. In fear of his life, he takes precaution to hide his identity, but it doesn’t matter. The killer already knows who he is. Both thought-provoking and disturbing, Kill Per View reveals just how easy it is to fall back into dark times.

It’s a vicious crime: the brutal killing of a teenaged girl. When detectives call FBI Agent Lucy Guardino to the scene, their focus is on who and why? Was it the girl’s Afghan father? Her Jewish boyfriend? Someone from Afghanistan settling an old grudge? Or one of the drug cartels the father helped bring down seeking revenge? Meanwhile former Marine Sergeant Andre Stone has been home a month, but has yet to leave the safe haven of his grandmother’s house. Andre’s disfiguring physical scars are the least of his worries. The emotional wounds of seeing his men massacred in a raid gone wrong have left him numb. All he can think about is revenge on Rashid Raziq, the man behind the raid. When Andre is offered a chance at vengeance, the only question is: How far will he go to get it? As Lucy’s hometown is engulfed in flames, a violent narco-terrorist turns the city into a kill zone...In the dark of night Lucy and Andre both learn that secrets hide in shadows. This gripping thriller from CJ Lyons is perfect for readers of Lee Child, Jeffrey Deaver and Lisa Gardner. Filled with heart-stopping suspense, it is a crime thriller that won’t let go.

It's an in-your-face, no-holds-barred story depicting the cruel world of murder and drugs. As with all of her other books, CJ Lyons never disappoints. She is a brilliant writer and storyteller both, which is not often found in an author.’ – BookingIt.net ‘CJ Lyons has done it again. This is the latest in the Lucy Guardino mysteries... and I have to say this is the most intense and action packed of all.’ – Carol Hoefs ‘One of the best books I have read in recent years.’ – Marilyn Hiliau ‘Another awesome read, very exciting and full of twists and turns. Keeps you on the edge of your seat from page one!’ – Sheila Faulk ‘Lyons has a fascinating premise: a city taken over by gangs and dope dealers--and she plays it out beautifully. The characters we're come to be intrigued by in previous work are back, but in unexpected ways. Just when I think I'm sure what one will do, he or she surprises me with a move I didn't see coming. Buy it! You won't be sorry.’ – Jerry Harber

Book Description
An action-packed nightmarish thriller about a deadly wasp invasion threatening to wipe mankind from the face of the planet, but the author of Sleep Tight. THEY DON’T JUST STING YOU. They lay their eggs in human flesh. They hatch and crawl beneath the skin. Then they grow wings and burst out of the body. A rare species of wasp from the Amazon jungle, they are unusually large, extremely aggressive—and coming to America on the next international flight . . . THEY BREED INSIDE OF YOU. On a Florida-bound plane from Honduras, a baby screams in pain. Minutes later, the wasps emerge from their human host. They attack the passengers, sting the crew, and send the plane crashing into the gulf. No one survives. Over three hundred bodies are pulled from the wreckage. Bodies injected with tens of thousands of eggs . . . CALL THE EXTERMINATORS. In a Miami morgue, the larvae feast on the dead. Then they erupt from the corpses, attacking every living human in sight. Soon they are swarming across the state, spreading throughout the country, breeding and growing in number, size—and viciousness. Pesticides won’t stop them. But a young entomologist and a motley crew of military convicts are fighting back—using science, smoking grenades, and flamethrowers. They call themselves The Exterminators. And they’ll do whatever it takes to wipe these nasty buggers off the face of the earth—before they kill us all . . . Prepare yourself for a skin-crawling shocker by Jeff Jacobson, the acclaimed master of cult horror classics like Sleep Tight, Growth, and Wormfood. “A talent with an amazing ability to astonish.” —David Morrell, bestselling author of First Blood
