Storm Cell: A Lewis Cole Mystery (Lewis Cole Mysteries #10)
by Brendan DuboisIn award-winning author Brendan DuBois’ new mystery novel, defense analyst Lewis Cole must try to save a close friend from a death row murder conviction. In his tenth outing, retired intelligence analyst Lewis Cole faces his most daunting challenge yet: Trying to save his friend Felix Tinios from being sent to death row after a conviction on first degree murder—but Felix refuses to accept Lewis’ assistance. Felix is being charged for the brutal murder of a local businessman—witnesses place him at the location; the recovered murder weapon belonged to Felix; and his fingerprints are all over the crime scene. It seems to be the proverbial open-and-shut case, but Lewis refuses to believe his friend—even though Felix is a former enforcer for the Boston mob—was responsible. As he engages in his one-man attempt to free his friend, two FBI agents come to him with disturbing news: they have word that unless Felix is freed from prison in just three days, he will be murdered while in custody. With time running out, the FBI nipping at his heels, and with Felix’s own lawyer refusing to help, Lewis is on his own as he desperately tries to clear his friend’s name before Felix departs prison . . . as a dead man.

Life is falling into place for National Park Ranger Erin Taylor. She has a job she loves, she's falling for her colleague, Simon - and is finally leaving her past behind. Until a woman is murdered. A part-time commando in the Army reserve, it is Simon who finds the body, on his return from a deployment. It's in his house and the victim is not just any woman - she's Simon's wife, Hayley. The wife he's not mentioned to Erin. The wife he's not seen in fourteen years. In search of the truth about Hayley, Simon and Erin go out to the edge of the Park to visit the alternative-lifestyle 'Community of Bliss'. The members claim to know nothing of Hayley but when Simon puts them under surveillance, he learns they're not telling him everything. Erin is determined to find out what is going on but the only way to gain the trust of the community is to use the skills from her old life - deception, lying and cheating. She soon uncovers a dark web of lies, some decades old - and finds that the clever, manipulative leader is preparing his followers for their final step. Award-winning, romantic suspense author Brownyn Parry's STORM CLOUDS will have you reading late into the night, because the leader of this isolated community is clever enough to know that Erin will ruin his plans - if she is allowed...

Fans of Parry's previous novels will notice a darker tone ... a willingness on Parry's part to push deeper into the crime aspect and the most sinister side of humanity. New readers should enjoy the extra layer of suspense that the growing emotional connection between the main characters provides ... A plot so successfully suspenseful that I stopped reading it before bed!' Australian Bookseller & Publisher, 4 Stars
