A book cover shows an illustration of historical Mayan times. A young woman in orangish clothing holds her arm out straight. Several other figures are behind her, and a Mayan temple is in the background. The title is The Well of Sacrifice by Chris Eboch. Text to the right says: “Well-researched historical fiction and a good read.” “This is an enthralling tale full of adventure, the rich textures of the Mayan culture, and examples of bravery.” – Round Rock Independent School District

A book cover shows a dirt road through prairie grasses leading to a two-story building that is ominous with only two windows lit up. Behind it, the sun sets over a mountain. Dramatic clouds billow up, getting darker behind the title: A Stone Cold Murder: the Reluctantly Psychic Murder Mystery series by Kris Bock. Text says: 99 cent sale! Petra Cloch can touch an object and glimpse its history. A murder weapon might show her the emotions of the killer – but that doesn’t mean she can identify them.

A book titled Something Prowling in Paradise Park has a rising moon behind the sharp stems of an agave, with a purple background, saguaro cacti, cliffs, and faint pawprints. Text says: Out March 2. Filled with twists, humor, and heart, Something Prowling in Paradise Park delivers the perfect blend of cozy mystery, female sleuth suspense, and found-family crime solving. Fans of J.A. Jance, Elly Griffiths, and Ann Cleeves will love this page-turner set against Arizona’s sunbaked secrets.
