Freezer Burn (D.H. Dublin)

Freezer Burn - A C.S.U. Investigation

D.H. Dublin

Blurb: It's hot in Philly - but murder has a way of giving you the chills.

Crime Scene Investigation: The scientific examination of the physical evidence at a crime scene, including, but not limited to, evidence photography and collection, fingerprint processing, blood and fluid-splatter interpretation, and forensic pathology.

Crime Scene Unit (C.S.U.): A group of forensic investigators who use cutting-edge technology to carry out crime scene investigations, helping to bring killers to justice.

A trash bag full of hacked-off body parts. A dead man thrown from a moving car. A young gang member, brutally tortured and killed. And a yellow, shrivelled corpse oozing something other than blood.

The cases seem to have nothing to do with one another, but together they point to a plot more elaborate - and more sinister - than anything C.S.U. rookie Madison Cross has ever seen. To investigate, she'll have to descend into Philly's seedy underworld of gang brutality and then rise to the highest echelons of organised crime - though there are members of both worlds who hope to see her eliminated, once and for all...

Shaolin Burning (Ant Sang)

Shaolin Burning

Ant Sang

Blurb: Old China like you've never seen before, Shaolin Burning, is an exciting, modern take on Kung Fu mythology; a fusion of punked-up street culture and Chinese tradition.

When the Shaolin Temple is destroyed by the Emperor's army, only five monks manage to escape alive. Or so the legend goes.

But few know the story of the sixth, Monk Who Doubts, who turns his back on the Buddhist path and embarks on a bloody trail of revenge, culminating in a devastating showdown with the Emperor's forces.

Fewer still know the story of Deadly Plum Blossom. Unwanted at birth, she is rescued and raised by a Shaolin nun. Trained all her life in a new fighting story, she is determined to prove herself, and sets off to challenge the most dangerous man in China.

Shaolin Burning is a masterful interweaving of kung fu legends, Chinese history and stories of those lost to the past. It is a story of breathtaking beauty and no-holds-barred action sequences and is, at its heart, a meditation on the dangers of pursing one's talents.
