Discover Mysteries to Read
Shared Madness by Rick Moskovitz
A psychiatrist treating a psychotic patient descends into madness and finds himself at the nexus of a deadly plot. Can he trust anyone in his struggle for survival and his quest to regain his sanity? Can you guess who murdered his patient and what drove him mad? Share his hallucinations and terror through his eyes and try to unravel the mystery.
When investment banker Lazzaro de Medici is found dead, Professor of Biblical Studies at University of Illinois at Chicago Aiden Leonardo is the prime suspect. In possession of an encrypted letter given to him by Lazzaro, Aiden utilizes his extensive knowledge of Scripture to piece together clues that lead to a Lost Bible dating back to the time of Christ.
Hidden within the text is an ancient truth about the most controversial message Jesus left to His disciples. But as Aiden embarks on his quest to unravel the mystery of redemption and faith, a secret organization known only as The Group hunts him down to destroy the Lost Bible and tie up loose ends.
With the help of his fiancé Dr. Miriam Levin—a cultural anthropologist and a professor of historical archaeology in her own right, their friend Nagi, a philologist, religious historian and an eccentric cryptographer, Aiden soon realizes the Lost Bible was written by the only disciple who walked with Jesus and had his gospel omitted from Scripture.
Things are further complicated when a mysterious stranger warns Aiden that possessing the secret of heaven could cost him his life. Pursued by the F.B.I. for the ancient Black market relic and the Chicago PD in connection to the murder of Lazzaro de Medici, Aiden races against the clock to prove his innocence and fulfill his mentor’s dying wish.
Expose the secret of heaven…

The value of perfection, as a reference point for the conquest of the top and the social recognition, was the first idea which inspired me to write this book. The story deals with people who react to glory with different ways.
This suspenseful thriller features Thomas Marks, a young, intelligent man who admits to being with two women shortly before they were murdered. Though the detectives don’t believe him, he claims he’s innocent. The problem is none of the evidence corroborates his story nor confirms the guilt of anyone else. When another suspect surfaces, Thomas thinks he’s in the clear, but appearances can’t always be trusted. Will an arrest stick? Find out in this mystery of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the end.

I have been reading mysteries most of my life. Although I wrote fiction when I was an undergraduate (I enrolled in several writing courses), I switched to writing nonfiction primarily because of my professional career. When I retired I thought I should try writing fiction again. So I wrote a mystery primarily because I wanted to find out if I could. Besides, I had read numerous mysteries over the years and enjoyed the genre.
[Read more…] about The File on Thomas Marks by Bentley Turner
When Nylah Diamond, a young psychiatry student, becomes aware of a new case study, she becomes obsessed with it. Something about it intrigues her.
She wants to know about every detail, every statement, every piece of evidence and everyone involved.
Someone else wants it left in the past.
She becomes determined to help piece together everything that has seemingly been hidden and scattered everywhere for so long.
Things that were meant to stay scattered and hidden. Something does not make sense.
Some things from childhood stick with you forever. Small things, big things, what seem like such insignificant things, change things. Change people.
If Nylah does not let sleeping dogs lie, she may be the next to get bitten.
All of the things you think do not matter, matter most. What you think matters most may mean nothing at all. People are animals. Savages. It is a concrete jungle out there. Something as small as a snake in the grass or a spider in a tree can take down a lion, the king of the jungle.

The name of my debut book is ‘Concrete Jungle’, and its inspiration is the jungle we live in every day. The world. People are animals. Some are savages. Some are butterflies. It’s a dog-eat-dog world. My different experiences with all sorts of people are what has been its main inspiration.

The best writing advice I ever got was, "Write the book you are dying to read." I love murder mysteries. Can't get enough of them. And I love writing them as much as I love reading them.
Death has gripped the throat of middle America
Random people are being heinously murdered, with the bodies displayed in the most horrific way.
Detective John Chandless is a thick-skinned officer from New York who had apprehended the most depraved men in the barrios. Perhaps he had underestimated the the evil in the heart of the country. Kansas shouldn’t be so harsh compared to the City, but murder has no favorite state. How could this veteran detective be stumped?
partner, Simin Khouri, was a “unique” detective to say the least. She used psychic profilers to solve her cases. Although her conviction rate was just as good as anyone else’s, John didn’t believe in her “hocus-pocus” techniques. He worked with facts until this troubling case didn’t provide any. What do you do when there is no evidence? He grudgingly asked Simin for assistance, and she was glad to give it.
Simon introduced him to Anezka Kranz, her Czech psychic profiler. Could this sweet, simple woman help his case? Although John had investigated the most perplexing cases for 17 years, Anezka showed him another way to find his predator — celestially.
Celestial Summoner: An Esoteric Paranormal Suspense Thriller Is filled with dark excitement, and begins with a whodunit situation that can only be resolved with the help of a Czechoslovakian with an ethereal gift.

A missing scientist and a deadly discovery. An unknown organisation with a global agenda and a new detective, who is good at ice hockey.
‘Not Yet Detective’ Charles Burns hasn’t been named to a newly formed task force. That was supposed to happen Monday. But a brilliant young scientist and his revolutionary discovery have disappeared. Has he been kidnapped or is he complicit in a terrorist plot to commit mass murder?
SOMETHING IN THE WATER Book One: “Drowning” follows Charles Burns and a newly formed unit of the London Metropolitan Police in real time as they search for a missing scientist and try to stop his discovery from becoming a weapon against humanity. Little is known about the scientist, but his work has attracted the attention of more than just the Health Ministry. It’s unclear who knows that the formula has a fatal flaw, and could become a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands. Burns and Major Crime Unit 2 has their first mission: find the scientist and stop the discovery from becoming a weapon. They must act quickly and quietly, and MCU2 has been put together by Detective Chief Inspector John Wayne to do just that: Act quickly, under the direct authority of The Home Office, and quietly, to avoid a panic spreading through the media. There is little time before that, or worse, happens.
“Steeped in sinister plots, apocalyptic threats, and political subterfuge, Drowning is the riveting first book in Dean Comyn’s Something in the Water series. When a priceless new technology and its creator go missing, a new British task force snaps into action to prevent what could be a devastating catastrophe. This thriller is timely and hard-hitting, combining well-researched procedural police elements with high-stakes anti-terror action. Dripping with attitude and brimming with tension, Comyn’s debut novel sets a promising stage for the series to come.”Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★

My love of kayaking, politics, London and thrillers all inspired me to write Tell A Lie.
A strong urge compels Cyn to dance a waltz in the precinct parking garage. The same compulsion at the same time forces Ali to waltz in her apartment. The impulses tailor themselves to the women. Cyn faces the overwhelming desire to torture a homicide suspect and shoot a homeless man, while Ali grapples with a yearning to shoplift and steal from a cash register. The women morph into passengers in their own bodies, aware of everything around them but incapable of manipulating events, like passengers on a bus watching the world pass by beyond the windows, while the influence nobbles them toward maiming, mayhem, and murder.
The duo subsist like most people, never questioning why they act as they do, never scrutinizing who or what sways them until an unknown influence threatens to swallow their lives. What about you? Who or what shapes your dealings? Do you even know? Does your will control you, or have you acquiesced to some other force without even realizing it?

Seeing how people are influenced by things that they may not even realize are impacting their behavior, I crafted a story to take that situation to extremes. From the point of view of the two women subjected to mind control, I show how it disrupts their lives and the lives of others in their orbit. They aren't content to become compliant victims, so they fight back.
