ONE LAST STEP (A Tara Mills Mystery—Book One) is the debut novel in a new FBI mystery series by debut author Sarah Sutton.

Two hikers go missing along the Appalachian Trail, leaving only a bloodstained forest behind them, and when another hiker collapses on someone’s porch in New Hampshire, murdered by crossbow, the local police realize they have a serial killer on their hands––and need to call in the FBI.

FBI Agent Tara Mills is young, brilliant and new to the force. With a promising career in front of her, she faces the ultimate test when she is assigned the case. It soon proves to be more challenging than she ever could have imagined––an impossible riddle that leaves even her seasoned partner stumped.

Meanwhile, something about the case stirs a darkness within her––a tortured past that even her long-term boyfriend doesn’t fully understand. As nightmares consume her, she only hopes that her past will not come back to ruin her once again.

As more hikers go missing, and with her job on the line, Tara finds herself on a race against time as she combs through the forest’s trails. Peeling back each layer, she soon realizes that she is up against a true diabolical mastermind. And just when she thinks she has it all figured out, her instincts lead her to the most shocking truth of all.

On the run, outnumbered and outgunned, he calls for help from his friends: CIA Deputy Director Anya Stein, Delta Force veteran Ken Takigawa, and cowgirl sharpshooter Heth Crockett.

From Arles to Seville in Spain, Breed fights to keep Julia alive. The chase leads to a deadly showdown on the blood-soaked sand of La Maestranza, Seville’s great bullring.

*****A KINDLE *ALL-STAR* SELECTION ***** 

HE THOUGHT HE WAS PREPARED. HE THOUGHT HIS FAMILY WAS SAFE. HE WAS WRONG.

Five years after a pneumonic plague killed two-thirds of the world’s population, army veteran Marcus Battle is isolated. He’s alone with his guns, his food, and the graves of his wife and child. 

Unaware of the chaos that’s befallen everything outside of his central Texas ranch land, Marcus lives a Spartan life. If anyone steps onto his property he shoots first and never ask questions. 

But when a woman in distress, chased by marauders, seeks asylum, Marcus has a decision to make. 

Does he throw her to the wolves to protect himself or does he help her and leave the shelter and protection of home?

BOOK TWO: CANYON

HE’S HOMELESS. HE’S ON THE RUN. AND HE WANTS REVENGE.

Marcus Battle has left behind his home. 

Now he’s on a seemingly impossible mission to find a missing child. But can he balance that responsibility with his deep, primal desire to exact revenge on the men who destroyed his solitary existence? 

The world he discovers on his journey isn’t the one he remembers before a pneumonic plague called The Scourge killed two-thirds of the world’s population. It is lawless, depraved, and far-deadlier than the disease which created it. 

Battle made a promise to find that child. It’s a promise he regrets more acutely with every step of the journey where he is as much the hunter as he is the hunted.

BOOK 3: WALL

HE SURVIVED THE SCOURGE. HE ESCAPED THE CARTEL. NOW HE FACES THE WALL.

In the chaos of a global plague, evil took hold. Governments fell, the good became servants, and the Cartel rose to power. 

A wall was built to contain the wasteland and keep the evil at bay. Now an organized resistance wants change. They're willing to fight for it and they've asked Marcus Battle to help. 

The last thing Battle wants is another war. But if that's what it takes to gain freedom and safe passage to the other side of the wall, he'll take aim and fire.

But when their estranged father and his ruthless gang threaten everything, Jasmine discovers the true meaning of resilience and family in a world gone dark.

Magick turns men into gods. Men were not born to be gods.

Untold eons have bred the likes of Krael, a towering barbarian with canine teeth more akin to fangs and a feral prowess in battle that few can match. But behind his dark, savage eyes lies the strict training of religious zealots intent on eradicating the foul influence of magick.

Before the Wizard Slayer can continue his one-man crusade, the politicians of a corrupt megacity seek to enslave him in their selfish schemes of conquest. Krael has no choice but to escape to the Outlaw Kingdoms, a war-torn land crawling with the scattered remnants of fallen civilizations. Countless sorcerers have been slaughtered by his hand, but with the greatest assassin money can buy at his heels, the legendary Wizard Slayer comes closer to defeat than ever before.

The greatest ally on Krael’s side is Prince Eledrith, but as the young noble struggles against fellow politicians and decadent predecessors, he finds he must also battle against his own sinister destiny. By blood and steel, Eledrith and Krael must fight for not only their lives, but the fate of the known world.

If you like the brutal action of Robert E. Howard's Conan, the dark fantasy of Kentaro Miura’s Berserk, and the fast pace of old-fashioned pulp sword and sorcery, then you won’t be able to put down The Wizard Slayer!

A murderous android discovers itself in All Systems Red, a tense science fiction adventure by Martha Wells that interrogates the roots of consciousness through Artificial Intelligence.

"As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure."

In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety.

But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern.

On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid — a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is.

But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.
