EVIL HAS MANY FACES


Chilling murders terrorize a town and bring together two detectives to face the hardest tasks of their lives. Jack Ludlum, who relies on his brawn to get things done, is now paired with his archenemy, Jill Jarred, a brilliant investigator with keen intuition. As they delve into the secret world of incels and white supremacists, and conflict between local authorities and the FBI rages, a media frenzy further complicates the mission.

Is there a serial killer on the loose? Or something entirely different? Will the detectives’ clashing personalities be their undoing, or can they unite to stop the killer before they kill each other?

What Goes Around is a dynamic thriller that examines the intricacies of love, loss, and the unbreakable bonds that transcend time. With its pulse-pounding pace, captivating characters, and a revelatory twist that challenges the boundaries of life and death, this novel will keep you hooked from the first page to the last, and thinking long afterwards.

‘An adrenaline-fueled novel, the action breathlessly driven by two detectives relentlessly pursuing the bloody trails left by a serial killer with a dark sense of justice, deadly groups of white supremacists, and one lonely, alienated boy caught up in the violence.’ Kathleen Kent, New York Times bestselling author

‘Fast-paced propulsive thriller that doesn’t let up – highly recommended!’ Lori Brand, author

Michael Wendroff is the author of What Goes Around, a debut thriller published by Bloomsbury, which bestselling author Eric Rickstad calls a “brilliant debut,” and bestselling author Lisa Black says, “starts off at a breakneck pace and doesn’t let up until it reaches its unexpected conclusion.” Plus, #1 bestselling author J.D. Black says, “Relentless and gritty, Wendroff expertly weaves a narrative that begs, ‘just one more page…’”

The book was inspired by what his mother said to him the second he was born: “Oh! How nice to see you–Again!”

Michael has an MBA in marketing from NYU and was inducted into their Hall of Fame. He is a global marketing consultant. He shares his time between New York City, Sarasota, Florida, and Lake Garda, Italy. He is married and has three wonderful children.

His mother was an editor (watching his mother scribbling in red ink on manuscript pages at home on weekends prepared him for his own editor’s comments!). She remarried a literary agent, so Michael was friendly with many authors and even spent a vacation with Robert Ludlum. Watching Ludlum handwrite his 450-page novels on yellow legal pads didn’t dissuade Michael from trying to write a novel (though he’s thankful for his PC).

What Goes Around was launched in the USA, UK, and Australia, and foreign language rights have been sold in Italian, Japanese, and Hungarian. The hardcover went through 3 printings, and now the trade paperback is available (along with an audiobook and an e-book).

Fun fact: Michael’s great-grandfather was brought over by Thomas Edison from the University of Copenhagen to work with him. He holds some patents, including for plastic buttons. Michael proudly wears button-down shirts whenever he can.

To Know Good and Evil

by Daniel V Meier Jr

@RABTBookTours #RABTBookTours #ToKnowGoodandEvil #DanielVMeierJr #MurderyMystery

 

 Book 2 in the Frank Adams Detective Series

Murder Mystery

Date Published: October 7, 2025


On a refreshingly cool summer evening in North Carolina, a hog farmer was stunned, then horrified when a light airplane crashed into his hog pens and erupted into flames.

The ensuing FAA investigation convinced the small town that the crash was an accident. Except for one person. Ted Grant was an academic colleague and good friend of Dr. David Lanmore’, and Ted knew that Dr. Lanmore had just discovered a cure for cancer.

The last place Frank Adams wanted to investigate an airplane accident was in his hometown of Scottsville, North Carolina. Though his parents were no longer living, Clayton Housley, his uncle, wielded significant influence over the town and surrounding areas as if it were his own fiefdom.

But Ted Grant’s call was urgent and disturbing. Apparently S&H Pharmaceuticals had discovered Dr. Lanmore’s secret and would go to any lengths to acquire the research. But would they kill for it? And if Frank meddled in the town’s business, would his life be in danger?

The Princess of the Wraiths

by Peregrinus Hierusalemsis

@RABTBookTours #RABTBookTours #ThePrincessOfTheWraiths #PeregrinusHierusalemsis #Memoir

 


Memoir

The Princess of the Wraiths is a captivating memoir that weaves science, spirituality, and personal triumph into a vibrant tapestry of life’s deepest questions. Born in Mexico City, Peregrinus Hierusalemsis confronts childhood terrors—sparked by a chilling visit to the mummies of Guanajuato and a fear-inducing teacher—that leave him grappling with post-traumatic stress. A mystical experience at an ancient monastery becomes his turning point, igniting a lifelong quest for meaning.

As a shy teenager, Peregrinus faces heartbreak over Verónica, only to find solace in philosophy through his friend Emilio, shielding him from the clutches of a drug cartel infiltrating his school. Relocating to the United Kingdom, he falls for Jana, whose guidance fuels his success in biology studies, but a toxic relationship with Birgitta tests his resolve. Armed with philosophical wisdom, Peregrinus confronts an enigmatic “Princess of the Wraiths,” determined to conquer his fears and reclaim his strength.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Mexico’s cultural richness, the UK’s academic halls, and Sweden’s serene landscapes, this memoir vividly describes the biodiversity and ecosystems Peregrinus explores as a biologist. While science and spirituality are thoughtfully explored, they remain distinct, with scientific accuracy meticulously preserved. Written with literary finesse, this accessible yet rigorously academic narrative invites readers into a true story of resilience, love, and existential discovery—a journey that resonates with anyone seeking to overcome fear and embrace life’s mysteries.


About the Author


I studied biology, but I am also interested in philosophy and spirituality. I have worked in some labs as a molecular biologist. I have also been interested in systematics, so I have published some scientific papers on this subject. I am from Mexico, but I have also worked in labs in the United Kingdom and Sweden.

Originally, I wrote essays at university. Later, I wrote scientific papers. It was not until I solved a difficult issue in my life that I became a writer of books. I was able to free myself from a toxic relationship. That was a success because I was never able to do that during previous experiences. I thought the messages that I wrote to finish that bad acquaintanceship were very important, so I transferred them from my mobile telephone to a Word document. Then I wanted to add a paragraph to explain the meaning of the messages. A paragraph was not enough, so I ended up writing what became chapter 28 in my book. After that, I wanted to add more background. I ended up writing a whole memoir! I hired 5 different proofreaders on Fiverr. Four of them were American. One was British. Then I commissioned 94 handmade paintings to illustrate my book.

Class War: Then and Now

@RABTBookTours #RABTBookTours #ClassWarThenandNow #ChrisWright #PoliticalNonfiction




Political Nonfiction



For nearly fifty years, America’s working and middle classes have been under relentless attack. Wages have stagnated, inequality has soared, and the vast majority now lives paycheck to paycheck—while trillions of dollars flow upward into the pockets of the wealthiest few. Class War, Then and Now is both a searing indictment of this economic and political order and an impassioned call to arms for a new left rooted in class struggle, solidarity, and socialist values.

Drawing on a decade of essays and articles originally published in outlets such as Dissent, New Politics, CounterPunch, Socialist Forum, Truthout, and Common Dreams, historian Chris Wright examines the deep roots of capitalism’s crises and the failures of the contemporary left to confront them. In sharp, accessible prose, Wright tackles:


The centrality of class struggle in building a movement that can unite working people

Why identity politics, while important, must not overshadow the fight against capitalism

The overlooked necessity of nuclear power in addressing climate change

Lessons from labor history, from Jimmy Hoffa to modern union battles

The catastrophic consequences of American imperialism and endless war

How organized labor remains humanity’s most universal force for justice


With the urgency of a manifesto and the depth of historical scholarship, Wright argues that only a rational, international, and truly Marxist left can stop the United States—and the world—from sliding into neofascism and ecological collapse.

If you care about economic justice, social reform, and the future of democracy, Class War, Then and Now will challenge your thinking, sharpen your arguments, and inspire action.


About the Author

 Chris Wright is a U.S. historian, author, and lecturer at Hunter College, City University of New York, specializing in labor history and radical political theory. His work explores the history of capitalism and social movements, with a focus on building an international left capable of confronting economic inequality, rising authoritarianism, and ecological collapse.

Wright is the author of multiple works of political nonfiction, including Worker Cooperatives and Revolution: History and Possibilities in the United States and Popular Radicalism and the Unemployed in Chicago during the Great Depression. His newest release, Class War, Then and Now: Essays toward a New Left, compiles a decade of essays originally published in respected left-wing and independent outlets such as Dissent, New Politics, CounterPunch, Socialist Forum, Compact, and Common Dreams.

Over the years, his analysis and commentary have appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to Truthout, earning him recognition for his Marxist-informed, historically grounded critiques of capitalism and his advocacy of a democratic socialist movement.

In addition to his academic work, Wright has written philosophical essays, fiction, and poetry, reflecting a lifelong interest in art, music, and the human condition. His current research and writing center on the labor movement, anti-capitalist strategies, and the urgent need for systemic change to address economic, political, and environmental crises.

Dorothy’s Gift

By Christine C. Schneider

Genre: Women’s Fiction

 

 


A modern-day, inspiring story of two women who, when their paths merge discover love, growth and redemption that changes their lives forever. 


Dorothy’s Gift

By Christine C. Schneider

Genre: Women’s Fiction


Dorothy is content with her life as a wedding seamstress. She loves her two adult children, her husband, and her church. She is gifted with the ability to turn heaps of pink satin, lemon-yellow chiffon, and white lace into exquisite gowns. Her clients are beautiful, well-bred, and pay her well. Dorothy doesn’t like change, but even volunteering at the crisis pregnancy center doesn’t shake her peaceful life too much. She does what she can to offer help to women who are dealing with real, life-changing decisions.

Then Bailey wanders into the clinic: angry, abrasive, and hiding the pain of a dark secret.

In a moment of wild compassion, Dorothy convinces her wonderfully supportive husband, Gary, to allow her to invite Bailey to live with them until the baby is born.

Suddenly, Dorothy’s life is overwhelmed by change, and unable to keep up, Dorothy makes some huge errors in judgment. Instead of helping Bailey, everything Dorothy does seems to hurt the girl more.

Only Dorothy’s son, Daniel, begins to recognize Bailey’s potential, as he sees her reach out to support Dorothy when Gary has a heart attack and her daughter has a miscarriage. Meanwhile, Bailey is suffocated by the realization that this wonderful, loving family would not want her if they knew that she had allowed her first child to be aborted.

As Dorothy sews her way through a year of weddings, Bailey challenges Dorothy’s compassion and points out her lukewarm, Christian hypocrisy. The poor girl doesn’t know how to clean her room, run a washing machine, or cut up a cucumber. In addition, Dorothy’s church doesn’t want “people like Bailey” to taint their youth and college group. Worst of all, her son, Daniel, has decided to try to win the heart of Bailey. As the year progresses, Dorothy is confronted with her own ungodly self-centeredness, lack of spiritual depth, and stubborn resistance to changing her plans for herself and her family.

This is the story of the growth of love between a young woman in need of a mother and a mother with enough love for more than her own two children.

What Readers are Saying:


I finished the book because I couldn’t stop reading. I love the story, I love the characters, I love the message, I love the writing style, I love it all. I want to go back so I can better appreciate the character development and story arc. I cried multiple times throughout the book.
—Betty, missionary and missionary wife in Kenya

Carolyn’s Rewrite
The book was hard to put down until it was finished. Dorothy is an empty nester, encouraged by her son to volunteer at a pregnancy center. She does, but struggles some since her gifts to help are not typical to other volunteers. She connects with one woman, Bailey, who has made some bad decisions and needs a role model. The book answers the real question about what is more important in life. –Carolyn, Austria

The Retirees 

@RABTBookTours #RABTBookTours #TheRetirees #LeahOrr #CozyMystery

 

 Retirement has never felt so deadly


Cozy Mystery

Date Published: January 5, 2026

Publisher: Orrplace Press


Welcome to the idyllic yet eccentric retirement community of The Ocean’s Edge—where retirement has never felt so deadly.

Disco is dead, there’s a serial killer on the loose, the coffin dodgers are solving cold cases, and only the neighborhood cat knows where all the proverbial bodies are buried.

When sharp-tongued sugar heiress Diana is ousted from the empire she helped build, she retreats to a posh 55+ paradise expecting peace, maybe even a pool boy. Instead, she finds a ragtag group of retirees with a knack for solving cold cases—and a disturbing knack for attracting new ones. She quickly finds herself entangled with this quirky yet capable team of senior sleuths: a psychic, tarot-reading twin duo, a retired detective, a conspiracy-minded tech guru, and a nurse who might just talk to animals.

Among tarot cards, a talking cat, and dark web dives, this misfit crew uncovers more than just bingo night secrets. Because in a place this sunny, the shadows run deep, and someone at The Ocean’s Edge has blood on their hands.

As the group begins investigating cold cases, darker truths emerge, uncovering clues that tie back to mysterious pasts, hidden traumas, and residents with more secrets than memories.

Hilarious, heartwarming, and deliciously twisted, The Retirees is a witty, tightly woven, charming, cozy mystery that reminds us it’s never too late for redemption, reinvention, or revenge—and that sometimes the most unexpected heroes come with walkers, wisdom, and wildly colorful personalities.

The Patron Saint of Lost Girls 

Literary Fiction / Short Story Collection

Date Published: 09-16-2025

Publisher: Wayne State University Press 


In 1970s and ’80s Detroit, the city wrestles with an unending economic downturn, increasing violence, and white exodus to the suburbs. Amid all of this is twentysomething Mary who is just trying to grapple with her identity in a world filled with uncertainty.

In this collection of linked stories, we follow Mary as she seeks to cope with and withstand hardship and confront her fears of exploitation, abuse, and death. Along the way, she delves into the complex yet nurturing relationships with her family and friends who teach her to love better, live fuller, and question power. The Patron Saint of Lost Girls presents an unflinching tale of life in the late twentieth-century postindustrial Midwest.



Excerpt


“AUGUST, WHEN the cicadas burned and the lawnmowers sounded like industrial bees, we couldn’t stop. In the bedroom, on the couch, on the floor. Afterward we would lie there, reading the paper or letting the television taunt us like a car salesman. Paul would wiggle his toes against mine, and we’d look at one another for a long time. His face was like a catcher’s mitt, warm and beaten. He reminded me of one of those boys who had moved away when I was little, but Paul had returned a man.”

-“This is Art”
