THE THEFT — It began on a deserted interstate in Virginia. The entire operation took less than twelve minutes. The result-one supercomputer hijacked, one highway patrolman dead. . . . THE STING — Washington, DC, Police Detective Gideon Malcolm had been given a tip about the stolen Daedalus supercomputer. Yet no one was willing to give him the backup he needed to check it out. So Gideon turned to the one person he knew he could count on, his brother, FBI Agent Raphael Malcolm. Together they set up their stakeout. When no one showed, they went in to check out the seemingly abandoned warehouse — and stumbled into the midst of a deadly ambush. . . . THE PAYBACK — Now Gideon wanted answers, and he wasn’t going to stop until someone paid for what had happened to him and Rafe. But the powers that be were equally determined to force Gideon — and the world — to forget this covert operation gone totally wrong. Yet Gideon refused to be blackmailed, threatened, or bought off. And what began with a stolen computer let him to the trail of a mysterious woman, Dr. Zimmerman, whom everyone seemed intent on finding. For Zimmerman’s knowledge could compromise not only U.S. security but that of every nation in the world! |

Blood and Rust: Two Novels of the Cleveland UndeadAuthor: Swiniarski, S. A. |
||
|
Finally back in print, The Raven and The Flesh, The Blood, and The Fire are two boundary-breaking novels set in Cleveland, Ohio — but is this an average American city with hardworking families striving to fulfill the American dream — or the kind of town where death is anything but final and one’s neighbors may not be as normal as they seem? The Flesh, The Blood, and The Fire: Between 1934 and 1944, Elliot Ness and his agents were in Cleveland, investigating the Kingsbury Run (or Torso Killer) case, in which decapitated and bloodless bodies were found along the Kingsbury Run train tracks. In one of the most ineffective manhunts in history, Ness raided and burned out Cleveland’s shantytowns in his efforts to find the killer who left behind twelve victims, only three of which were identified. Unwilling to concede defeat, one Cleveland cop continues to follow the bloody trail and discovers the horrifying truth — that the law is not dealing with the mob or a serial killer — but with a community of vampires. The Raven: Local Cleveland Heights author Swiniarski wins time with a modern day horror novel set in Cleveland. Kane Tyler, a former Cleveland cop turned private investigator specializing in missing children, wakes up in a storm drain in the middle of winter barely alive. He has no memory of who tried to kill him or why. He can’t even remember his own name. As the memories slowly return, Kane discovers that he is no longer human, no longer alive and whoever did this may have been the one who butchered his wife and could be stalking his daughter. |
