Depraved Difference
A Detective Shakespeare Mystery
Book #1

 

Would
you help, would you run, or would you just watch?

When a young woman is
brutally assaulted by two men on the subway, her cries for help fall on the
deaf ears of onlookers too terrified to get involved, her misery ended with
the crushing stomp of a steel-toed boot. A cell phone video of her vicious
murder, callously released on the Internet, its popularity a testament to
today's depraved society, serves as a trigger, pulled a year later, for a
killer.

Emailed a video documenting
the final moments of a woman's life, entertainment reporter Aynslee Kai, rather
than ask why the killer chose her to tell the story, decides to capitalize
on the opportunity to further her career. Assigned to the case is Hayden Eldridge,
a detective left to learn the ropes by a disgraced partner, and as videos
continue to follow victims, he discovers they were all witnesses to the vicious
subway murder a year earlier, proving sometimes just watching is fatal.

From the bestselling author of The Protocol and Brass Monkey comes Depraved
Difference, a fast-paced murder suspense novel with enough laughs, heartbreak,
terror and twists to keep you on the edge of your seat, then knock you flat
on the floor with an ending so shocking, you'll read it again just to pick up
the clues.

Tick Tock
A Detective Shakespeare Mystery
Book #2

 

Crime Scene tech Frank Brata digs deep and finds the
courage to ask his colleague, Sarah, out for coffee after work. Their good time
turns into a nightmare when Frank wakes up the next morning covered in blood,
with no recollection of what happened, and Sarah’s body floating in the tub.
Determined not to go to prison for a crime he’s horrified he may have committed,
he scrubs the crime scene clean, and, tormented by text messages from the real
killer, begins a race against the clock to solve the murder before his own coworkers,
his own friends, solve it first, and find him guilty.

Billionaire Richard Tate is the toast of the town, loved by everyone but his
wife. His plans for a romantic weekend with his mistress ends in disaster, waking
the next morning to find her murdered, floating in the tub. After fleeing in
a panic, he returns to find the hotel room spotless, and no sign of the body.
An envelope found at the scene contains not the expected blackmail note, but
something far more sinister.

Two murders, with the same MO, targeting both the average working man, and
the richest of society, sets a rejuvenated Detective Shakespeare, and his new
reluctant partner, Amber Trace, after a murderer whose motivations are a mystery,
and who appears to be aided by the very people they would least expect—their
own.

Tick Tock, Book #2 in the internationally bestselling Detective Shakespeare
Mysteries series, picks up right where Depraved Difference left off, and asks
a simple question: What would you do? What would you do if you couldn’t prove
your innocence, but knew you weren’t capable of murder? Would you hide the very
evidence that might clear you, or would you turn yourself in and trust the system
to work?

From the internationally bestselling author of The Protocol and Brass Monkey
comes the highly anticipated sequel to the smash hit Depraved Difference, Tick
Tock. Filled with heart pounding terror and suspense, along with a healthy dose
of humor, Tick Tock's twists will keep you guessing right up to the terrifying
end.

The Redeemer
A Detective Shakespeare Mystery
Book #3

 

Sometimes Life Gives Murder a Second Chance

It was the case that destroyed Detective Justin Shakespeare’s career, beginning
a downward spiral of self-loathing and self-destruction lasting half a decade.
And today things are only going to get worse. The Widow Rapist is free on
a technicality, and it is up to Detective Shakespeare and his partner Amber
Trace to find the evidence, five years cold, to put him back in prison before
he strikes again.

But Shakespeare and Trace aren’t alone in their desire for justice. The Seven
are the survivors, avowed to not let the memories of their loved ones be forgotten.
And with the release of the Widow Rapist, they are determined to take justice
into their own hands, restoring balance to a flawed system.

At stake is a second chance, a chance at redemption, a chance to salvage a
career destroyed, a reputation tarnished, and a life diminished.

A chance brought to Detective Shakespeare whether he wants it or not.

A chance brought to him by The Redeemer.

From J. Robert Kennedy, the author of seven international bestsellers including
Depraved Difference and The Protocol, comes the third entry in the acclaimed
Detective Shakespeare Mysteries series, The Redeemer, a dark tale exploring
the psyches of the serial killer, the victim, and the police, as they all try
to achieve the same goals.

Balance. And redemption.

The Turned
Zander Varga, Vampire Detective
Book #1

 

Zander has relived his wife’s death at the hands of vampires
every day for almost three hundred years, his perfect memory a curse of becoming
one of The Turned—infecting him their final heinous act after her murder.

Nineteen year-old Sydney Winter knows Zander’s secret, a secret preserved by
the women in her family for four generations. But with her mother in a coma,
she’s thrust into the front lines, ahead of her time, to fight side-by-side
with Zander.

And she wouldn’t change a thing.

She loves the excitement, she loves the danger.

And she loves Zander.

But it’s a love that will have to go unrequited, because Zander has only one
thing on his mind. And it’s been the same thing for over two hundred years.

Revenge.

But today, revenge will have to wait, because Zander Varga, Private Detective,
has a new case. A woman’s husband is missing. The police aren’t interested.
But Zander is. Something doesn’t smell right, and he’s determined to find out
why.

From J. Robert Kennedy, the internationally bestselling author of The Protocol
and Depraved Difference, comes his sixth novel, The Turned, a terrifying story
that in true Kennedy fashion takes a completely new twist on the origin of vampires,
tying it directly to a well-known moment in history. Told from the perspective
of Zander Varga and his assistant, Sydney Winter, The Turned is loaded with
action, humor, terror and a centuries long love that must eventually be let
go.
