Treacherous Hack

A Mike Stoneman Mystery #7

by Kevin G. Chapman

Genre: Mystery, Thriller, Police Procedural

From the award-winning Mike Stoneman Thriller series comes Book #7 — a gripping crime thriller set in the heart of a frozen New York City.

When electronics store owner Lou Palazzo is gunned down at a snowy Manhattan intersection, NYPD homicide detectives Mike Stoneman and Jason Dickson catch a case that’s anything but ordinary. Back at Lou’s shop, two Chinese nationals linked to a powerful Shanghai cybercrime ring are dead. The only clue? A missing laptop computer, possibly containing something Lou was willing to die to protect.

Meanwhile, NYU student Ryan Gelb is panicking. His hacked laptop held the stolen university data — data he quietly gave to his Uncle Lou. Now Lou is dead, and whoever killed him is coming for the file. . . and for Ryan.
Caught between international cybercriminals, New York mobsters, and the police, Ryan is desperate to recover the file and avoid being expelled — or worse, executed.

As Mike and Jason untangle a web of secrets, lies, and digital deception, they're met with stonewalling from all sides: NYU won’t talk, witnesses are hiding the truth, and even their closest allies are keeping dangerous secrets.
With the body count rising and a deadly showdown looming, the race is on to solve the mystery, recover the missing file, and avoid turning Lower Manhattan into a bloodbath.

Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, John Sandford, and David Baldacci, this high-stakes police procedural mixes hard-boiled action, cybercrime intrigue, and unforgettable characters in a page-turning thriller you won’t be able to put down.

 

What readers are saying:

 “A page-turner of a police procedural, with multiple cryptological clues and misdirections. The convoluted plot is enough to keep readers on the edge of their seats throughout. While the action is nearly nonstop, it is inevitable that readers along the way will get invested in relationships such as that between Ryan and Star. All the main characters and many of the minor ones keep dangerous secrets, demonstrating once again the fallibility of human nature.”

~ S. W. Lawrence, MD, author of climate fiction including Climate Dragon and Cloud Dragon.

 

“Chapman delivers another pulse-pounding thriller that seamlessly weaves cybercrime, organized crime, and family loyalties into one explosive narrative of how far people will go to protect their secrets. This high-stakes thriller has non-stop action and suspense that culminates in a riveting page-turner until the end.”

 ~ LoLo Paige, award-winning author of Alaska Firestorm and Alaska Inferno.

 

“Treacherous Hack grabs you from the first chapter and doesn’t let go! An exciting police procedural that makes you feel like you’re on a ride-a-long with the detectives, conspiring with the bad guys, and hanging out in a dorm room with the young guys caught in the middle of it all.”

 ~ Laurel Heidtman, author of The Eden Mysteries.

 

“A pulse-pounding thriller that seamlessly weaves cybercrime, organized crime, and family loyalties into one explosive narrative of how far people will go to protect their secrets.”

From Chapter 3 -- On the Scene

DETECTIVE MIKE STONEMAN CALLED OUT to his partner as soon as Jason ducked under the crime scene tape stretched across the sidewalk.

“Jason! Over here.” Mike waved his arm, beckoning Jason toward the center of the intersection. Since Mike lived in Manhattan, he had arrived fifteen minutes before his partner. A clot of officers and emergency services personnel milled about without much urgency.

“Nice night,” Jason said sarcastically.

Mike, dressed in a down parka and a blue-and-orange knit hat pulled down over his ears, grunted his agreement. Mike was a full five inches shorter than Jason and twenty years older. Even in their winter clothes, Jason’s style showed through, with his tailored wool overcoat, gloves, scarf, and LL Bean duck boots. Mike had long since stopped worrying about the fact that his partner was taller, better looking, in better shape, and a better dresser. Mike possessed wisdom that came from experience, which was the one thing Jason could not have. At least not until he had twenty-five years on the force like Mike. They had been partners for five years.

A uniformed officer with a plastic cover over his hat approached Mike as Jason arrived. “Detective Stoneman, the medical examiner is finished. Can we remove the body now?”

“Not yet,” Mike responded. “I want Detective Dickson to get a look at the scene first.”

The officer left to give his fellow officers the bad news – they all had to stay outside their warm squad cars.

As they walked around the intersection, Mike gave Jason the rundown. “The stiff’s name is Lou Palazzo. His wallet was in his pants pocket with a driver’s license, so the ID was pretty easy. He’s got a record from years back. Did three years in Sing Sing in the twenty-teens for conspiracy to commit murder. He was connected to the Gallata family. Since he got out, he’s had no arrests. He ran an electronics store and pawn shop over on the corner of Avenue B, a block away.” Mike pointed to the far end of the block. “He had a little cash and some credit cards in his wallet.”

Jason looked down at the remainder of the dead man’s head. “So, not a robbery, then?”

Mike didn’t laugh. “The snow and slush on the street mangled any physical evidence here, but there is blood in the snow outside his shop. It looks like he was shot inside the shop in the shoulder, tried to escape in this direction, then got caught here in the intersection and plugged once in the head. No cell phone on him. He wasn’t wearing a coat, so he left in a hurry. When we finish here, there are two more stiffs in the shop.”

“So, there’s more to see?” Jason asked.

“Oh, yeah. Plenty. We’ll get over there in a minute. The officer in the first squad car saw two figures in the middle of the street from a few blocks away and hit his lights. By the time he got here, Lou was dead on the ground and the other person had fled the scene on foot.”

Jason squatted to get a look at the body without dipping his knees into the slush. The kill shot entered the man’s head above his left ear and exited through his neck – a clean kill, likely fired by a person standing over the victim.

“Seen enough?” Mike asked.

“Sure. Thanks for doing the reconnaissance.”

“Let’s go see the shop. That’s where the action was.” Mike turned to the west. “Oh, and by the way, was that Rachel I saw over there with a cameraman?”

“Yeah,” Jason said without stopping. “She got a call from her network to come work this scene. She’s been bugging them for weeks about getting a chance to cover breaking news instead of the fluffy studio stuff. You know, the healthcare pieces and emergency services and such. She’s been on the on-call list every weekend since Halloween, hoping to get a call. Unfortunately, tonight was the night.”

“You need to be careful, Jason. You can’t spill any information to her. I know we talked about this possibly happening someday. Well, shit just got real. Sully will have your hide if he thinks you’re feeding her inside dirt on the investigation.”

“I know. I’m not telling her anything. But I can’t stop her from working. This is a big deal for her.”

“Sure. I get it,” Mike said. “But be careful.”

“You don’t need to tell me.”

Read on for details...

____________________

Historical Fiction Thriller

Date Published: 12/10/2025

Publisher: Manhattan Book Group

When the Prince of Denmark is murdered in the Florida Keys, an unlikely duo of American and Irish diplomats in Copenhagen becomes embroiled in a deadly game of espionage, ancient conspiracies and high stakes diplomacy as they confront one of the West's most dangerous enemies. In Reign of Secrets, Colonel Whit Ransom and Irish attaché Aisling Kelly race across Europe to stop the Russian President and his assassins as they chase the Danish Crown’s most guarded treasure, a thousand-year-old secret that could threaten the royal houses of Europe and return the Russian empire to glory.

In Reign of Secrets, diplomacy meets danger, and the past may be the deadliest weapon of all.

"A masterfully crafted tale that explores how the West's adversaries subtly challenge the narratives of history - reshaping symbols, exploiting weaknesses, reframing legacies, and testing the resilience of democratic values and the international order."

-Lt. General Ed Cardon (Ret.), former Commander, US Army Cyber Command

by Lee Gemmill

In this heart-stopping race against time, Laura is thrust into a deadly play where facing fear isn't a choice-it's survival. With the killer's shadow looming, can she stand against the darkness? Or will she become the next character in his twisted games of death?

The terror begins now....

1989

 

The prison guard spoke softly into a communicator on his shoulder, and the steel door opened with a metallic echo in the corridor. The guard looked first at Isabelle, then at Mr. Dunn, asking, “Do you want me to stay?”

Isabelle replied, “Thank you, officer, but no. You’ve done your part.”

The guard nodded and left them in the death row area. They heard the sound of metal on metal as the door locked behind them, sending a small shiver through Isabelle’s heart. But she straightened her jaw and stepped into the cell, with Mr. Dunn following closely behind.

She removed her hat and held it like a weapon. The edge of its brim was thin and stiff enough to slice. Isabelle knew her toughness often intimidated men, but this disturbed individual would likely see her as a beauty queen. Mr. Dunn took a protective stance by the door, his size and the scar running from his eyebrow to his chin making it clear why he was there.

Surveying the cell, which was barely larger than a cheap walk-in closet, Isabelle noted the metal bed, stainless-steel toilet, and sink. In her opinion, this minimalist setup was more than the inmate deserved; far too lavish. She adjusted her posture, shifting into business mode, tilting her head back to exude confidence and becoming the salesperson she was meant to be.

“Hmm. John Spenkelink’s old cell. I know you’re awake, Mr. Bundy.”

Ted Bundy, lying on the bed with his back to them, sat up, feigning disturbed sleep. He yawned, blinked his eyes, and smiled disarmingly. The news photos hadn’t lied; he was indeed a handsome man. Yet, Isabelle recalled how he wielded his charm and good looks like weapons. Maintaining her poker face, she thought of the thirty women he had confessed to killing, with hints of even more hidden in unmarked graves.

“You have me at a disadvantage,” Bundy said, keeping his gaze fixed on hers. “But who wouldn’t be disadvantaged in here?”

Isabelle ignored him and began her presentation. “I’m Dr. Quint. My associate is Mr. Dunn. We’re from Blunt Point Labs. Mr. Bundy, the governor absolutely will not consider a stay of execution.” She glanced at her watch again, already aware of the time. “In less than twenty-four hours, you’re going to die. We can’t prevent that.”

“Then why bother me?”

Isabelle remained stoic; this was her favorite part. “Mr. Bundy, we’re here to make you an offer you can’t refuse. A chance to serve mankind in a positive way.”

Bundy raised his eyebrows. “Serve mankind? When I’m dead?”

Mr. Dunn moved as if cued; it was the signal for him to take the next step. He reached into the satchel, pulled out some important-looking papers, and handed them to Isabelle. She held them just out of Bundy’s reach. His gaze flickered to the papers momentarily.

She continued, “You’ll be dead alright, but I think you’ll find this to be a fair offer.” She handed the papers to Bundy, who studied them intently for several long minutes with a practiced legal eye. Suddenly, he looked up.

“How does it work? There aren’t any laws to protect the dead. Blunt Point has this kind of power?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll need a pen.”

“Yes, you will. But before you sign, I want to know why you tortured, raped, and murdered thirty innocent women.”

Bundy grinned mischievously. Everything about him was likable. Isabelle forced herself to frown.

“Thirty?” he asked. “You think small, Doctor.” He paused, as if considering his words. Isabelle realized he wasn’t thinking at all; he was remembering. Bundy’s smile turned predatory. “Having those women tied up and terrified was the ultimate aphrodisiac. They knew they were going to die because of me. To them, I was their angry god.”

If Isabelle had been holding a chainsaw at that moment, she would have used it on him. Instead, she forced herself to remain unresponsive to Bundy’s comment. She didn’t need to look back at Mr. Dunn to know his expression had not changed; it rarely did.

With no visible reaction from his visitors, Bundy shrugged. He raised his hand as if holding an invisible pen, wiggling his fingers in a gesture that conveyed, "I still need something to write with." Mr. Dunn reached into his coat and pulled out a ballpoint pen, offering it to Bundy. Carefully and neatly, Bundy signed each page and initialed several others. He returned the pen to Mr. Dunn and handed the papers to Isabelle.

“When do we start?” he asked, excitement bubbling in his voice like a child eager for an adventure.

Isabelle provided the answer he needed. “As soon as you die.”

 

At 20, Lee Gemmill set off on a hitchhiking adventure from Virginia to California, climbing Handies Peak in Colorado and losing all his food to sneaky ground squirrels in the Grand Canyon along the way. A former biology and anatomy teacher with 32 years of experience in Virginia, he’s now retired and fully dedicated to writing.
Lee’s mission is to reshape storytelling by blending fantasy, science fiction, and horror into unforgettable tales. His work pushes the boundaries of imagination, delivering thrilling experiences that stay with readers long after the last page — all while building a legacy of unique, genre-defying stories that cultivate lifelong fans.

All the Shadows We Become - YA Romantasy Thriller - and a Giveaway #YA #Romantasy #Thriller #YARomantasyThriller #Giveaway

Dustin Blackwall is here to tell us about his YA romantasy thriller All the Shadows We Become.

There's also a great giveaway.

____________________

When the shadows come alive, Ava and Caleb discover the only safe place is in each other’s arms.

But the closer they get, the darker the truth becomes.

All the Shadows We Become

by Dustin Blackwall

Genre: YA Romantasy Thriller

Caleb Ward is trying to forget the night he almost died.
Ava Lin is trying to understand why he survived.

But Hollow Creek isn’t letting either of them move on.

What starts as a strange blackout spirals into a trail of eerie clues, shifting shadows, and a connection between Ava and Caleb that grows hotter and more undeniable with every new secret uncovered.

Something happened that night.
Something dangerous.
And it’s waking up.

 

Amazon * Bookbub * Goodreads

The lights exploded into darkness so fast it felt like the whole world had been switched off. One second, the fairgrounds pulsed with noise; the next, a hush dropped over everything - thick, heavy, wrong. Ava’s breath caught in her throat as the shadows around the tents stretched, bending in directions that didn’t match the lanterns flickering overhead.

“Caleb…”

She didn’t even finish his name. Her hand shot out on instinct, finding his fingers in the dark. His grip closed around hers immediately - warm, tight, desperate - anchoring her like a lifeline.

Static rolled through the air, not sound but pressure, brushing across her skin like cold fingertips. The wind picked up and carried the faint smell of scorched leaves and metal. Somewhere behind them, a ride creaked slowly, even though nothing was moving it.

Caleb stepped close enough that she felt the heat of his chest at her shoulder.

“I’m here,” he whispered, voice low and unsteady.

Something moved at the corner of her vision - a ripple of shadow that stole her breath. But Caleb was already there, guiding her back against him, solid and unwavering.

The world still trembled, but she didn’t. Not with his strength at her back. In that moment, she felt it with aching clarity: as long as he held her, she could face anything.

All around them, people shouted - fragmented cries swallowed by the dark. A string of carnival lights fizzled overhead, sputtering blue sparks that made the shadows jump like living ink.

Ava squeezed his hand harder.

“We have to move,” she said, though she wasn’t sure which direction was safe anymore.

Caleb turned, pulling her with him, and in that split-second flash of dying light, she saw his face - terrified, determined, and somehow still looking at her like she was the one thing in this chaos he trusted.

The ground trembled.

The shadows bent again.

And together, hand in hand, they ran toward whatever waited in the dark.

Light Years to Midnight

Genre: SciFi Thriller

Light Years To Midnight — a globe-spanning thriller where science, faith, and code collide in a race against a countdown written into the fabric of reality.

 

Amazon * Bookbub * Goodreads

The wind whipped dust across the plateau as Jonas crested the ridge, breath burning in his throat. Below him, the satellite dishes of the abandoned relay station stretched into the dark like a field of frozen giants. Their metal frames groaned under the rising storm, each bent toward the same invisible point on the horizon.

He wasn’t alone.

A faint beam of light—too controlled to be an accident—flickered between the dishes. Jonas crouched, heart thudding, watching as a woman stepped into view, her silhouette sharp against the skeletal machinery. She moved with the alertness of someone who had been running for far too long.

Elena.

He had seen her face in files, in encrypted packets, in the warnings that had chased him across continents. But seeing her here, in the flesh, felt unreal—like walking into a photograph he wasn’t meant to understand.

Before he could speak, a second figure emerged from the opposite end of the array. Maya paused only when she spotted Elena, recognition flaring across her face. They had never met, not really, but the anomaly had braided their paths tightly enough that the moment felt inevitable.

Jonas stood and lifted a hand, but movement in the distance froze him mid-step.

Engines.

Low, tactical, deliberate.

A convoy approached from the north, its headlights dark, its tires crunching through gravel like muffled gunfire. Special operations—unmarked, unhurried, confident. Not hunters, but collectors.

Elena’s eyes locked on his.

“Are they here for you,” she whispered, “or for all of us?”

Maya stepped closer, her breath sharp in the cold air. “Does it matter?”

Something pulsed beneath the earth—three beats, a pause, three more—vibrating up through the metal frames of the dishes. The sky above them shimmered, faint but unmistakable, as if answering the rhythm.

Jonas swallowed hard.

“No,” he said. “It doesn’t matter anymore. It’s already found us.”

Dustin is a lifelong fan of science and speculative fiction, blending his fascination with astronomy, technology, and the unknown into stories that explore the edge between logic and wonder. When he’s not writing, he’s reading, stargazing, or chasing trails on his dirt bike — always searching for what lies just beyond understanding.

With These Hands - Crime Thriller #Fiction #CrimeThriller

T.R. Motley is here to tell us about With These Hands, a crime thriller.

Read on for details...

_____________________

 

Crime Thriller

Date Published: December 3, 2025

At the age of 13, Aurelia’s entire life changes when her parents begin to align themselves with the Juarez Cartel, running drugs and trafficking women through Rio Bravo, their small town off the Rio Grande River. Determined to get away from this life, Aurelia collects years of evidence on the cartel.

At the age of 17, she is forced to run when her parents arrange a marriage to a cartel member. After working with the FBI to take down most of the cartel, she is placed in a protection program. Unbeknownst to her, the Juarez Cartel has rebuilt and is stronger now than before.

In a twist of fate, Aurelia is kidnapped, forced to marry Diego, son to the leader of the cartel, and produce an heir. Diego, who becomes an unseen ally, along with Aurelia begin to align themselves with individuals throughout Mexico to take down the cartel. They will fight, blackmail, and kill to protect those they love.

In an act of desperation, Diego makes the ultimate sacrifice and enlists the help of Daniel Zimmerman, a U.S. FBI agent and Aurelia’s first love. On the day of the raid, will everyone make it out of Mexico alive?

About the Author

T.R. Motley. I have lived in Oklahoma all of my life. For the last 28 years now, I have dedicated my life to taking care of my family and other families as a nurse. I worked in the Pediatric ICU for 25 years taking care of extremely sick children. There were highs, when I was able to place a child in his parent's arms after a being on life support to watch the smile on both of their faced for a very long time. There were lows, when I placed a child in their parent's arms, which would be the last time they would ever hold them.

My love of books started as a teen when life was not the best, and I would place myself in the characters shoes and get lost in the story. As an adult, it was my escape from reality in a sometimes cruel world. Along the way, my own stories began to swirl in my head. I always wanted to put those stories on paper, but needing to be a responsible adult, took the safe route.

On my last week in the PICU, my fellow coworkers and I went on a float trip. Several people asked if we had it to do over again, would we still have become a nurse. Surprisingly, only two people said they would. When going around and asking what everyone would have done instead, I said I would have become an author. Silence ensued for a minute, before there was a chorus of, "Go for it!" Two months later, I did a ton of research and started my first novel. Seven months later, I had a completed piece of work. Months of beta reading and changes along with and editor, helped round out what my book has become.

Now, twenty years later, I am pursuing that dream of storytelling.

Aurelia's story is about overcoming any obstacle, even when being pushed down from every angle for most of her life. It is about seeing some of the worst circumstances in life, facing those head on and fighting back to make her life better. It is about believing that just because you were born into a certain life, you can fight for what you want and make your way out. It is about finding love in the worst circumstances and having life ripped away once more. It is about a woman fighting in a man's world and excelling. It is about finding friends in the misted of tragedy and realizing sometimes people will fight for you just as hard.

We see the mark drug cartels not only leave on the U.S. and Mexico in general, but in the lives of real people. We see how easy human trafficking and bringing drugs in from Mexico can be. We learn that people are so greedy for power and money, that they allow these things to happen. People that should protect us. This is a powerful story of how Aurelia, who is immersed into this world, not only fights for herself, but others who have been drug in along with her. There are powerful characters that Aurelia meets along the way who join forces to not only help her with this fight but become the family she never had.

This is a romantic suspense novel, appropriate for ages 18+ (adult only).
