Suspense fiction encompasses novels of crime and detection (regularly referred to as mysteries - these include English-style cosies; American-style hard-boiled detective stories; dispassionate law-enforcement procedurals; crime stories); action-adventure; espionage novels; techno-thrillers; tales of psychological suspense; and horror. A celebrated aspect of suspense fiction's popular appeal - one that surely accounts for much of this broad category's sustained market vigour - is the interactive element: The reader may choose to challenge the tale itself by attempting to outwit the author and solve a crime before detectives do, figure out how best to defeat an all-powerful foe before the hero does, or parse out the elements of a conspiracy before the writer reveals the whole story. 2000-2001 Writer's Guide to Book Editors, Publishers & Literary Agents by Jeff Herman (1999)

THY BROTHERS' WIFE

by Bliss Addison

Homicide Detective Jonah Leedes arranges a romantic rendezvous with his wife at a posh hotel. A minute into their interlude, Jonah receives a call to investigate a possible homicide, coincidentally in the room next to his at The Spartacus. Seconds later, the hospital notifies his wife of an accident involving a city transit bus and a car. Several people have been seriously injured. All doctors on hospital staff were to report to emergency immediately.

 Jonah and Whitney part in the hotel hallway outside their room with a promise to pick up later where they'd left off. He enters the murder scene, finds the murderer——the victim's wife——still in the room, makes the arrest and considers the case open and shut, until the Doc arrives and pronounces that the victim died two hours before the wife arrived on the scene. Just then, Jonah receives a call from a fellow police officer stating that his sister-in-law Charlotte Armstrong was a passenger on a city transit bus that collided into the pumps of U-Serve Gas on Fifth Avenue. 

There was a glitch, though. Her body has disappeared. 

Charlotte Armstrong, a high-strung outspoken woman with a bent toward revenge, unwittingly latches onto the back of Semiazas, a demon of Mephistopheles, when he appears on the accident scene to escort the bus driver's soul to Hades.  

The devil has her but doesn't want her. Semiazas, on Mephistopheles' order, attempts to show Charlotte the way through the portal to the land of the living——a task easier to issue than carry out.

DELIVERANCE [Lost Souls Book II]

by Scott Winfield

Aileen found herself deep in a forest.  She looked around trying to get her bearing.  Where was she?  What made her come to this forest?  Being very cautious, she pulled out a small flashlight to see in the dark.  Looking over to her right, she noticed two glowing eyes that were staring right at her.  Looking around, she found some dry firewood and started a fire to keep warm.  Strange sounds filled the air creating an eerie atmosphere around her.  With her eyes glued to the two glowing eyes, she lit a smoke to calm her shattered nerves. 

In a split second, she felt the presence of someone behind her. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up as she slowly turned around.  A man dressed in a black robe stared at her in silence.  A shiny, glowing yellow  X adorned his robe.  He held a dagger in each hand.  As Aileen turned around, she fell to the ground, fearful for her life.  She could see that this strange being had golden gills, which told her that he could breathe under water.  This fascinated her and her feelings of fear soon dissipated. 

After getting up, she lit another cigarette and sat down on a nearby log.  They both studied each other waiting for one of them to strike up a conversation.  The fire crackled as he walked closer to her. In a very uncanny way, Aileen trusted this strange man.  Her nervousness ceased.  She reached out to grab his hand to see if he was real.  He in turn reached out to her and brought her closer to him.  After embracing her, he drew both of the daggers and stuck them in each of her ears. Blood shot out, driving Aileen to her knees.  In a split second, Jack shook her to wake her up.

REDEMPTION [The Lost Souls Book I]

by Scott Winfield

Grabbing his flashlight, Detective Mike Smith notices a woman slumped over.  He shines the light into her eyes and notices that she has no pupils.   Looking a little closer, he notices that an “X” is carved in her forehead with a knife.  With blood dripping out her mouth, she raises a large knife and charges at him.  In a moment of terror, this strange woman vanishes from his sight.

Mike settles down at the cabin and decides to look around the property.  Using his camera, he notices a large X with circle around it drawn in blood.  He immediately notices two apparitions on each side of the X.  On one side of the X, there was a woman dressed scantily with her index finger pointed toward the X.  Her eyes shines an eerie orange color.  She has the expression of horror on her face.  The woman on the other side is dressed  in clothing similar to that of a Quaker or Puritan.  A blinding white light shines from her eyes as she points at the X with an expression of peace.  Capturing this astounding sight with his camera, Mike realizes that what he is seeing is a premonition of things to come.

In Redemption, Scott Winfield explores many worlds in order to create such a literary masterpiece.  Redemption is a thrilling, mind boggling and unpredictable trip for those readers who want to follow the horror, pursuit and capture of serial killing big names, such as Jack the Ripper and Ted Bundy.  The challenge of this work is the chase, taking the readers for a usual ride.  The plot is laced with diverse details, mixing modern-day real-world police work with the surreal fictional accounts of the unknown.

THE CHAIN LETTER [The Whisperer Book II]

by Nadalia Bagratuni

In the Chain Letter, Dr. Tad Summers is once again called upon to help the police solve a series of unsolved and mysterious deaths.  The only clue in each case is that each victim before they died, received a plain white looking envelope in the mail.  When they open up the mail they die. 

Even though each of the victims appeared to have been frightened to death and apparently died with a very distorted look on his/her face, the police find the letter inside of the envelope it is completely blank. There was nothing absolutely written at all on it.   The police are baffled and ask for Summers' help.  He quickly concludes that they are scared to death but there is nothing on the blank sheet of paper in the envelope.  How could that be?  Even Summers is confused by the twists of his own discernment.

Now the entire population of Southern California is scared to open their mail.  Who will be next, what can they do, and more importantly what real intent of this disastrous plot?  Now your favourite team of college professors, Dr. Melanie Marsh and Dr. Tad Summers are on the trail of fresh clues when they are led right back to their college.  Could an institution of higher learning become the killing fields of the 21st century, or will Summers be able to figure out the mystery before the killer strikes again.  It is murder, mayhem, and sex as Summers and Marsh wonder if the law can't protect you who can?

This is where Melanie and Dr. Tad Summers really begin to sizzle in the latest book from Nadalia Bagratuni, The Chain Letter.
