Book Description
Meet Billy Doyle: a skilled military Ops Specialist turned uproarious stand-up comedian. His days of combat may have taken a backseat to laughter, but his fighting spirit hasn’t hung up its boots just yet. In a twist of fate, his comedic routine catches the eye of a British Intelligence Officer, especially when Billy effortlessly fends off thugs post-show. This act of valour swiftly lands him a new gig, melding his military prowess with his comedic charm in the covert world of espionage. Billy’s debut in the cloak-and-dagger realm involves investigating, and possibly eliminating, the nefarious Lord Carmthen, the mastermind of a grand blackmailing empire stationed right out of London. As Carmthen’s dark money fuels a drug syndicate stretching across South America, Billy finds himself chasing shadows from the bustling heart of South Florida to the sun-kissed shores of the Caribbean. Infiltrating the cartel isn’t a laughing matter, but Billy’s comedic facade proves to be an unexpected asset in a world where trust is a rare commodity. As he delves deeper into the underbelly of the drug trade, entangling with the cartel’s members, his mission morphs into a crusade to cripple the cartel’s stronghold. But the stakes are sky-high, and the moments of peril Billy faces demand far more than punchlines to navigate. Every covert operation drags him further into a deadly game where missteps could be fatal, and trust could be a mirage. The only constant companion Billy has is danger, and his only armour is his undying resolve to dismantle the tendrils of corruption and hopefully, live to tell the tale.

Book Description
Edgar award-winning author of the popular historical novels A Conspiracy of Paper and A Spectacle of Corruption, David Liss showcases his amazing versatility with this brilliant new tale of contemporary suspense: a literary thriller set in Florida, where killing is a matter of conscience. No one is more surprised than Lem Altick when it turns out he’s actually good at peddling encyclopedias door to door. He hates the predatory world of sales, but he needs the money to pay for college. Then things go horribly wrong. In a sweltering trailer in rural Florida, a couple whom Lem has spent hours pitching is shot dead before his eyes, and the unassuming young man is suddenly pulled into the dark world of conspiracy and murder. Not just murder: assassination– or so claims the killer, the mysterious and strangely charismatic Melford Kean, who has struck without remorse and with remarkable good cheer. But the self-styled ethical assassin hadn’t planned on a witness, and so he makes Lem a deal: Stay quiet and there will be no problems. Go to the police and take the fall. Before Lem can decide, he is drawn against his will into the realm of the assassin, a post-Marxist intellectual with whom he forms an unlikely (and perhaps unwise) friendship. The ethical assassin could be a charming sociopath, eco-activist, or vigilante for social justice. To unravel the mystery and save himself, Lem must descend deep into a bizarre world he never knew existed, where a group of desperate–and genuinely deranged–schemers have hatched a plan that will very likely keep Lem from leaving town alive. David Liss skillfully interweaves a gallery of eccentric characters with a multilayered plot characterized by its unpredictable twists and turns. The Ethical Assassin is a brilliant, darkly comic novel that will leave readers in suspense until the very last page.

Book Description
A New York Times bestseller, The Midnight Assassin is a sweeping narrative history of a terrifying serial killer--America's first--who stalked Austin, Texas in 1885. In the late 1800s, the city of Austin, Texas was on the cusp of emerging from an isolated western outpost into a truly cosmopolitan metropolis. But beginning in December 1884, Austin was terrorized by someone equally as vicious and, in some ways, far more diabolical than London's infamous Jack the Ripper. For almost exactly one year, the Midnight Assassin crisscrossed the entire city, striking on moonlit nights, using axes, knives, and long steel rods to rip apart women from every race and class. At the time the concept of a serial killer was unthinkable, but the murders continued, the killer became more brazen, and the citizens' panic reached a fever pitch. Before it was all over, at least a dozen men would be arrested in connection with the murders, and the crimes would expose what a newspaper described as "the most extensive and profound scandal ever known in Austin." And yes, when Jack the Ripper began his attacks in 1888, London police investigators did wonder if the killer from Austin had crossed the ocean to terrorize their own city. With vivid historical detail and novelistic flair, Texas Monthly journalist Skip Hollandsworth brings this terrifying saga to life.
