AFTER SHOCK

[one-half-first][do action=”dropshadow”]SNAKE SKIN by CJ Lyons[/do]

You asked for more Lucy, you got it! Lucy’s back in a new high-octane story, AFTER SHOCK:

 

(New to Lucy? AFTER SHOCK is a great place to start!)

As head of the FBI’s Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement Squad, agent Lucy Guardino has made a name for herself bringing the lowest of lowlifes to justice: rapists, serial killers, pedophiles—she’s faced them all down with her signature grit and determination.

Today is different for Lucy. Because the man who has taken her prisoner has promised Lucy three things: that before this day is over, she will be dead; that someone in her family will also die; and that he always wins.

Trapped inside her worst nightmare, Lucy faces a ruthless killer as he plays Russian roulette with the lives of those she loves. Wounded and unarmed, how can Lucy defeat a psychopath who doesn’t play by any rules?[/one-half-first][one-half]
AFTER SHOCK is a heart-pounding, lightning-paced thrill ride that will leave readers breathless as they root for the ultimate superheroine next door.

BLIND FAITH a Thriller Award Finalist!

blindfaithwebBLIND FAITH is a finalist for the International Thriller Writers’ Thriller Award!

The old cliche about it being an honor just to be nominated is absolutely true! I am an original member of ITW, in fact David Morrell (my idol!) escorted me to the very first meeting at Bouchercon in Toronto. After that I was honored to be the chair of the first ThrillerFest in 2006.

The friends I’ve made through ITW have supported and encouraged me during every downturn–even when my dream debut was pulled by my publisher prior to publication. Through them I found a new agent, a lawyer who helped me get my rights back, and the inspiration to not give up my writing career.

The book I wrote during that terrible time when it seemed my publishing career was over before it ever began? BLIND FAITH!

To say that I’m thrilled (pun intended!) is an understatement! Fingers crossed, come July’s ThrillerFest Awards Banquet!

BLACK SHEEP, coming soon!

BLACK SHEEP: Book #2

 

The thrilling sequel to New York Times Bestseller BLIND FAITH, coming February 26th

 

It’s the one mystery Supervisory Special Agent Caitlyn Tierney has never solved: her father’s unexplained suicide after arresting his best friend for murder. It drove Caitlyn to become one of the FBI’s best agents—and often the most unorthodox.

Her latest case is no exception when the man she holds responsible for her father’s death asks for help in finding his missing daughter. Caitlyn’s search brings her back to her North Carolina hometown, now vibrant with new money, old lies, and an unknown enemy who will do anything to keep Caitlyn from the learning the truth—and who will kill to keep it buried…

Lucy’s Back: KILL ZONE available Now!

BREAKING NEWS: Suspense Magazine has selected KILL ZONE as one of their Best Books of 2012!!! (yes, that’s three exclamation points worth of wow-o-wow!)

WARNING: the Lucy Guardino FBI Thrillers are NOT for the faint of heart! They depict adult situations, realistic violence with consequences, and delve deep into the darkness of the human heart and mind.

Here’s what readers said about Lucy’s first adventure in SNAKE SKIN:

5.0 out of 5 stars Great FBI Story: “Very well researched with most details spot on. It is a compelling story. The characters were real, to the point of reminding me of an agent, who, was every bit as dedicated, smart, and fearless as Lucy Guardino. I highly recommend it.” ~Mark B. Lewis, Former FBI Special Agent

Lucy’s back! In a story ripped from the headlines, the violence is the worst she’s ever seen, the stakes are higher than ever, and then…things get personal.

It’s a vicious, horrific crime: the brutal killing of a teenaged girl. When Pittsburgh detectives call FBI Supervisory Special Agent Lucy Guardino to the scene, their focus is on who and why?

Was it the girl’s Afghan father striving to regain his honor after she became too Westernized? Her Jewish boyfriend? Someone from Afghanistan settling an old grudge? Or one of the many drug cartels the father helped the DEA bring down seeking revenge?

Former Marine Sergeant Andre Stone has been home a month, but he has yet to leave the safe haven of his grandmother’s house—other than to go to his appointments at the VA’s burn clinic. Andre’s disfiguring physical scars are the least of his worries. The emotional wounds of seeing his men massacred in a DEA raid gone horribly wrong have left him a walking dead man, numb to anything.

All he can think about is revenge. On Rashid Raziq, the man behind the raid. When Andre is offered a chance at vengeance, the only question left is: How far will he go to get it?

The answers seem clear when Pittsburgh becomes engulfed in flames as a violent narcoterrorist turns the city into a kill zone…But in the dark of night, surrounded by men intent on destroying the truth, Lucy and Andre both learn that secrets hide in shadows.

Think you have what it takes to handle Lucy? Order KILL ZONE today. Available in ebook, trade paperback, and coming soon in audio.
