[Pixel Picks] Freebies & Deals for Feb 8th: Part 2

Suppose the unimaginable: What if your child were killed in a hit-and-run? And the one person who knew the driver’s identity – his lawyer – couldn’t reveal his name because of a legal technicality?

Silent Counsel is the story of just such a nightmare. After Stacy Altman’s six-year-old son is run down in front of their house, with no witnesses to the tragic accident, she learns that the driver has hired attorney Scott Heller to negotiate a plea arrangement with the prosecutor. But he’s instructed Scott not to reveal his name until a satisfactory agreement is in place. The prosecutor refuses to make a deal, and the court rebuffs Stacy’s efforts to force Scott to tell her – or even the authorities – who his client is, holding that the information is protected by the attorney-client privilege.

Since the court won’t do anything to help Stacy track down her son’s killer, she takes matters into her own hands. And she’s determined to make Scott talk – at any cost…

She feels God nudging her toward ministry, but what options are there for a young single woman?

Then, to her surprise, she feels that God is calling her into full-time Christian service. She expects the Lord will also provide her with a companion to share her life and ministry, but Emily does not want to marry any of the available young men. She squares her shoulders and decides she will accept the task of opening a new church in a pioneer community – alone. When Emily arrives at her new assignment, she is disappointed to find the church building in disrepair. After many days of hard work fixing it up, she announces her first service and is once again disappointed, this time in the size of her congregation. Is her faith strong enough to stand against the local doubters and myriad challenges that will test her calling?

When an epidemic turns most New Yorkers into vampires, a handful of remaining humans find themselves struggling to survive in a quarantined Manhattan. As their numbers dwindle, Ailis Laurent undergoes a transformation of her own: she becomes a hardened vampire killer.

The sequel to City of Whispers is titled The Old City and is now available.

For years, he’s been an object of fear, fascination… and fantasy.
