Absolute Power meets The Manchurian Candidate in this explosive political thriller from USA Today bestselling author Ward Larsen, Deep Fake.

The Cold War is back—but for some it never ended.

Sarah Ridgeway is living the life she’s always envisioned. She has a devoted husband, a loving daughter, and a comfortable home. The path to reach it, however, has not always been smooth. For twelve years her husband, Bryce, served in the Army, deployed to some of the world’s worst trouble spots. After his service ended with a combat injury, the future had seemed precarious, but with Sarah’s support and that of his wealthy family, combined with his exemplary service record, he is elected to congress.

Then, in a moment, everything changes: at a drab Washington fundraiser, the junior congressman intervenes in a terrorist attack, and narrowly escapes with his life. When videos of his bravery go viral, he quickly becomes a national hero. The timing could not be more fortuitous. The presidential primaries are heating up, and Bryce’s party is desperate for a fresh candidate to challenge the vulnerable incumbent.

Amid the whirlwind, Sarah senses something amiss. Since the attack, Bryce has been forgetful and acting strangely. Could it be the stress? she wonders. Might the recent explosion have aggravated his combat trauma? For the first time ever, she finds herself doubting a man she has always trusted. Confessing her fears to her closest friend, together they quietly search for answers. What they uncover is stunning: the man who might soon be president has a deeply held secret. A secret that will likely destroy Sarah’s life—and certainly lead the nation to ruin.

Gerry Young is President of Current Records and Management, and author of the 2011 biography Pop Goes The Weasel: Rock And Roll Off The Record, available at Indigo/Chapters, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.com. He has recorded and managed Juno Award winning bands Martha And The Muffins and The Parachute Club among others.

You may not have heard of Canadian singer/songwriter Paul Manchin until now, but chances are you will be hearing a lot about him soon, due to the release of his latest CD Salutations.

Although having previously released six digital albums, and having his music featured on compilation recordings for Rock America, Play Network, and Screenplay, Manchin has been satisfied to remain somewhat anonymous, while working with some of the finest Producers/DJ’s including Matt Forger (Paul McCartney), Chin Injeti (Eminem), and Spyros Poulos (Madonna) who produced the remix of one of the finer tracks on Salutations called “Spin”.

In Salutations, Manchin brings all that history and those influences to bear, and delivers an eclectic number of songs and instrumentals, that range from the whimsical first cut and single “Take A Ride”, co-written and produced by The Pursuit Of Happiness’ frontman Moe Berg, to what should soon be dance club favourites like the “Black Jack” remixes, “One” and “King”.

However, my personal favourite on Salutations is the highly infectious “Spin”; backup vocals by 80’s Candi from Candi and the Backbeat, and produced by the aforementioned Spyros Poulos.

With the impressive collection of songs included on Salutations, 2017 should prove to be a breakthrough year for Manchin, and further anonymity will be an impossibility.

Lay This Body Down, the third Gideon Stoltz Mystery, takes place in 1837 during one of the most horrific periods in pre-Civil War America, when human beings were considered chattel and both northern and southern states grew rich from slave labor. A Pennsylvania sheriff like Gideon could choose to uphold the federal Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 or defy that racist law at great peril. In this hard-hitting, action-packed novel, Gideon tries to protect a boy who has fled north from a Virginia plantation – and pays dearly for his principles. Written with the vivid, atmospheric prose that imbues the whole series, the life and times of an early American backwoods town and its hardscrabble citizens will grip readers as Gideon and his wife True solve a murder, bust a kidnapping ring, and help one unforgettable boy who courageously chooses freedom above all else.

Senior year at Ellingham Academy for Stevie Bell isn’t going well. Her boyfriend, David, is studying in London. Her friends are obsessed with college applications. With the cold case of the century solved, Stevie is adrift. There is nothing to distract her from the questions pinging around her brain—questions about college, love, and life in general.

Relief comes when David invites Stevie and her friends to join him for study abroad, and his new friend Izzy introduces her to a double-murder cold case. In 1995, nine friends from Cambridge University went to a country house and played a drunken game of hide-and-seek. Two were found in the woodshed the next day, murdered with an ax.

The case was assumed to be a burglary gone wrong, but one of the remaining seven saw something she can’t explain. This was no break-in. Someone’s lying about what happened in the woodshed.

Seven suspects. Two murders. One killer still playing a deadly game
