The fifth book in the high-octane Search And Destroy Series by JT Sawyer.

For Lord Anthony Hetheridge, this wet April should be brimming with promise. His wife, Kate, is on bed rest for the final month of her pregnancy, and his friend DI Deepal “Paul” Bhar has just welcomed his firstborn, a darling baby girl. Wellegrave House is beautifully restored, and the Hetheridges are back where they belong, in the heart of Mayfair. But inside Scotland Yard, the institution Tony served with unwavering dedication, something is terribly amiss.

When the lifeless body of Tony’s former protégé, DC Amelia Gulls, is discovered in her flat, suspicion quickly falls on her boyfriend, DC Sean Kincaid. Paul urgently enlists Tony’s expertise for the investigation, but the deeper they dig, the more questions arise. Before her untimely death, Gulls had been working on three perplexing cold cases: a mistress hurled from her fourth-floor love nest, a university student who drowned in the Thames, and a retired detective’s drug-addicted son found dead beneath a tree. As Tony unravels these seemingly unconnected mysteries, he inches closer to a stunning truth — and a perilous confrontation.

Untrue Blue is the electrifying seventh installment in the acclaimed Lord & Lady Hetheridge Mystery Series. Packed with great characters and baffling clues, it will keep you enthralled to the very last word.

In Waiting for White Jesus, Cleveland G. Oakes Jr. offers a deeply personal and transformative exploration of self-agency, resilience, and liberation. Blending powerful memoir with practical psychology and insightful social critique, Oakes challenges the myths of passivity imposed by society, religion, and cultural expectations.

Structured into six dynamic sections, the book guides readers through breaking internal chains of maladaptive thinking, reclaiming personal agency, navigating systemic oppression, and thriving amid life’s inherent chaos. By integrating wisdom from leading psychological thinkers such as Gabor Maté and Albert Ellis, alongside vivid narratives drawn from his experiences growing up in Brooklyn and working within corporate America, Oakes reveals how societal pressures, trauma, and internalized oppression often leave us waiting for external salvation rather than taking bold, constructive action.

Oakes candidly addresses his own battles with self-worth, resilience, and identity, emphasizing the empowering truth that our most potent savior lies within ourselves. With actionable insights, reflective exercises, and compelling stories, Waiting for White Jesus encourages readers to break free from cycles of dependency and passivity, instead building lives of intentional purpose and authentic power.

This book is for anyone who has ever felt stuck, unheard, or undervalued — for all who are tired of waiting and ready to become active creators of their destiny.

Harper Riley should be no different, but she’s gotten under Eli’s skin. She’s started asking lots of questions — dangerous questions with no good answers. Eli wants to save her despite his better judgment. But can Eli save her from herself?

Etna and bravely left Sicily to start a new life in America.
