Part of the Game
NEW RELEASE!
Authored by Tim Reardon
When small-time bookie Chuck Holiday tries to collect from one last deadbeat gambler before he closes his business forever, his retirement plans are chewed up by a couple of disobedient pit bulls. Instead of going straight and taking advantage of an offer to play professional basketball overseas, Chuck ends up indirectly involved in the bloody death of an Irish crime boss's nephew.
In this inventive crime thriller, Chuck and his palm-reader girlfriend navigate San Francisco's seedy underbelly and pull their own scam on the mob boss and a couple of ruthless Chinatown gangsters, who also have an interest in the dead Irishman.
About the author:
Tim Reardon has taught writing at St. Ignatius College Prep in San Francisco for the past twenty-five years. He lives in the Ashbury Heights neighborhood with his wife Gina and his three daughters: Kate, Claire, and Lizzy, and their border
collie, Annie. PART OF THE GAME is his second novel. The first, SHADOW LESSONS, was published in 2010.

COMMUTERS
NEW RELEASE!
Authored by
Patrick S. Lafferty
Nothing's free. Especially success. Everyone has to pay the price some time. For Mitchell Treadwell, that time is now.
Mitchell is president of an international conglomerate. He has a gorgeous house in the affluent suburbs, a loving wife and kids who adore him. Then one day his son goes missing, snatched off a street corner that's been the location of several recent abductions. Mitchell has a pretty good idea who's responsible, but by revealing what he knows to the police, he may inadvertently put everything he has in jeopardy. Now, Mitchell must hunt down his son's abductor and save his boy's life, all while keeping the police at arm's length.
Commuters is a neo-noir thriller that explores how a good man, motivated by his love for and devotion to his family, can do unconscionable things while dealing with the internal strife his actions create.
About the author:
After a quarter century in the advertising industry, including twenty years writing award-winning copy for a number of agencies in and around Milwaukee, Patrick S. Lafferty is embarking upon a whole new career. He took his love for craft beer, developed a business plan, secured financing, and is now the proud proprietor of a craft beer store in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. He still dabbles as a copywriter on a freelance basis but spends what little free time he has writing short stories, screenplays, and novels.
Outside of work, Patrick is the founding member of the Tosa Writers' Group, a long-time member of the Milwaukee Writers Workshop, and author of the heretical religious thriller ANNO DOMINA.
