Police Procedural Mysteries
Deputy Taylor Gray clawed her way out of poverty and foster care to achieve her dream of working in law enforcement. 👮♀️ In the quaint town of Hart’s Ridge, she’s determined to make a difference—and she’s good at it. But when a five-year-old girl named Molly walks into a gas station alone and barely speaking, Taylor faces a case that will test everything she’s learned.
As she delves deeper into the investigation, Taylor discovers that even the most idyllic towns have their secrets. 🔍 With a true crime element woven into the narrative, the search for Molly’s missing mother becomes a race against time to stop a predator before it’s too late. Every clue brings Taylor closer to a truth her community doesn’t want exposed.
Taylor isn’t just fighting for Molly—she’s also grappling with her role as the unofficial caretaker of her own fractured family. 💔 With a heavy burden on her shoulders, she’ll stop at nothing to piece them back together and find justice for those who can’t speak for themselves.
Bratt writes a protagonist who understands survival from the inside out, and that authenticity shows in every page. Taylor’s determination isn’t theoretical—it’s earned through years of fighting for herself, and now she fights for others with the same ferocity. 🏘️ The small-town setting provides both comfort and claustrophobia, a place where everyone knows everyone, which means secrets are harder to keep—and harder to expose.
Here’s what you’re getting: a gripping police procedural with a damaged but determined heroine, small-town secrets, and a missing mother case with true crime intensity. 🚨 First in the Hart’s Ridge series—perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter and Lisa Gardner.

Creek Mary’s Blood: A Novel
Dee Brown
Regularly $17.99, Today $2.99
Biographical & Autofiction
Mary Musgrove was born in 1700 to a Creek tribal chief, and her blood would flow through five generations of descendants whose lives parallel the American story itself. 🪶 In this sweeping saga from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, Dee Brown fictionalizes her astonishing true story—and the lives of the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren who inherited both her resilience and her wounds.
Brown traces Mary’s struggles with colonists in Georgia, then follows her two sons: one born to a white trader, the other to a Cherokee warrior. Their divergent paths become a lens through which to view the entire American Indian experience in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. 🌾 The narrative spans colonial rebellion, the Trail of Tears, and the Civil War—in which Mary’s descendants fought on both sides of the conflict.
This is history told through family, through the accumulation of choices and betrayals and survivals across generations. Brown brings the same meticulous research that distinguished Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, but here he channels it into fiction, giving voice to people the historical record often silenced. 📖 The result has been praised for its “dark, inexorable energy”—a story that moves with the weight of inevitability.
The ebook edition includes an illustrated biography of Dee Brown with rare photos from the author’s personal collection, offering insight into the man who dedicated his career to telling these stories. 🖤 Few writers have done more to center Indigenous perspectives in American historical consciousness.
Here’s what you’re getting: an epic family saga that spans two centuries of American history, told from the perspective of those who lost the most. 🏔️ Essential reading for fans of Killers of the Flower Moon and The Night Watchman.

For anyone managing hypertension, heart disease, kidney issues, or simply trying to reduce sodium for general health, this book removes the biggest obstacle: the perception that low-sodium cooking is complicated and tasteless. 🧂 Logue proves otherwise, page after page.
The 15-minute prep time constraint is practical genius—it acknowledges that most people cooking low-sodium meals are doing so because of health concerns, and health concerns often come with fatigue, limited energy, or competing demands. ⏱️ Making compliance easy is half the battle.

Five European nuns leave their monastery in Darjeeling and make their way to remote Mopu in the Himalayan foothills, where an Indian general once housed his harem. 🏔️ Under the guidance of Sister Clodagh—the youngest Mother Superior in their order’s history—they hope to establish a school and health clinic, combating superstition, ignorance, and disease among the mistrusting villagers below.

During the Roaring Twenties, Henry Ford and Thomas Edison proposed something audacious: transforming one of America’s poorest regions into a dream technological metropolis. ⚡ Their “Detroit of the South” would be ten times the size of Manhattan, powered by renewable energy, free of air pollution, and designed to reshape American society itself.
The plan included mass commuting by car, a new currency called “energy dollars,” and—from Ford and Edison’s perspective—the added benefit of crippling the growth of socialism. 🏭 Southerners rallied behind what became known as the Ford Plan, seeing it as a way to conjure the future and reinvent their region. Others saw it as one of the biggest land swindles of all time. They were all correct.
Hager chronicles this extraordinary forgotten chapter of American history, offering fresh perspective on two of the nation’s most revered figures. Ford and Edison weren’t just inventors and industrialists—they were utopian dreamers whose vision almost reshaped the Tennessee Valley. 🌊 The forces that opposed them, and what rose in their place—the Tennessee Valley Authority, one of the greatest achievements of the New Deal—make for a story of ambition, idealism, and unintended consequences.
This is history that reads like speculation: renewable energy, planned cities, alternative currencies, the tension between private enterprise and public good. 💡 A century later, the questions Ford and Edison raised remain unresolved.
Here’s what you’re getting: a rich, surprising history of the American utopia that almost was—and the public institution that emerged instead. 🔌 Perfect for readers interested in technology, politics, and the roads not taken.
