Mystery/Suspense/Thriller

Suspense
Where the River Splits
By Jeffrey Penn May
Libros International

While trying to save their marriage, Susan and David paddle through moonlit white water, away from a forest fire. Their canoe capsizes, and they swim to opposite shores, believing each other dead. Why does David run away? Susan and David struggle with their altered lives, converging to a surprising climax.

And other info:
"Discussing the plot further would spoil the suspense, suffice it to say that the journey to the end of the novel is never boring… the story keeps coming back to St. Louis, which should add to its appeal for local readers." -- Steve Weinberg, St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Available at amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, barnesandnoble.com, and local St. Louis bookstores. Visit author’s website askwritefish.com for availability updates and more info.

Mystery
The Wrong Side of Memphis
By Claire Applewhite

A Vietnam vet turned P.I. ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time - at the Jewel Arms apartments in St. Louis, as he matches wits with a ruthless killer.

Elvin Suggs already knew how to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Decades earlier, spending time as a Green Beret during The Siege of Khe Sanh taught him about the wrong side of 1968.

Now with his life in a shambles after his wife demands a divorce-brokenhearted and broke but determined to salvage his pride and his dreams-Elvin turns to the only person he can count on, Dimond Redding, his best friend's widow.

The odd assortment of tenants and strange goings-on at the Jewel Arms provide more questions than answers, including connections with Elvin's past. When another car with Tennessee plates shows up at the apartment building is it a coincidence, or is someone following him?

As Elvin inches closer to the truth he has to remind himself that he knows all about the wrong places and times. Only this time he's got nothing to lose-he's on the wrong side of Memphis.

Available at traditional and online bookstores.
