Mystery, action, romance, suspense and eerie surprises permeate Thompson's newest presentation. His hero, Harry Monmouth, is in trouble - big trouble. He's a nice young man whom no one - including Harry - takes very seriously. When his girlfriend, Alexis Bradford, announces his impending fatherhood, his marriage proposal is met with a lukewarm response, and the baby's future is in doubt. In his effort to win Alex over, he opens a door to the past that threatens to destroy him. He discovers the systematic misery imposed on New Hope's less fortunate citizens, and uncovers larceny of monumental proportions. At the same time, a botched abortion leads to trumped-up murder charges, a mystery that divides his little college town. Indifferent before, his personal circumstances compel him to join the fray, a decision with far-reaching consequences. Gods and Lesser Men is the tale of a man's journey from carefree days to extraordinary burdens. The things that have sustained him - family and place - have become problematic. Painful truths are told. The sins of the father - and the mother - are visited upon the child, and Harry's struggle to overcome them is a story as old as humanity.

Tommy Sawyer's new job in Washington provides him with a first-hand view of the dangerous corruption among the politicians and businesspeople charged with producing the nation's nuclear energy. When he tries to expose it, the situation escalates - thousands of people are at risk of annihilation, and millions more suffer from the "fallout." Against this backdrop, Tommy encounters the woman who walked out on him twenty years earlier. His struggle to come to terms with the rage that has consumed him ever since, and the possibility that they might reconcile, add an intensely personal note to a cautionary tale about "power" in our nation's capital.

Dynamic new crime thriller by the Master of Mystery!Alan Thompson, author of best-seller "Gods and Lesser Men" scores again... big time.What the critics are saying about Alan Thompson's Lucifer's Promise: "Thompson's new novel is equal parts legal thriller, medical ethics conundrum and old-fashioned murder mystery. Decades after Harry and Alex Monmouth made their debuts in Thompson's previous novel, Gods and Lesser Men (2014, etc.), they're once again caught up in controversy and conspiracy. Harry's hometown of New Hope is in the midst of football fever as a new quarterback shatters records and promises great things for the college's future. But there are troubling rumors about the team's academic performance, and the dean calls on Harry to investigate. At the same time, Alex is losing her battle with leukemia . . . Harry soon meets Dr. Franklin Steiner and realizes there might just be a miracle in store for his wife. Meanwhile, when the people who've helped him with the football case start turning up dead, he realizes that New Hope conceals more mysteries than he'd bargained for . . . Fortunately, while Harry tries to understand how these people and cases are connected, the novel's prose is startlingly detailed, allowing readers to understand the disparate realms of genetics and college athletics while also painting a vibrant picture of the town and college . . . A complex, thought-provoking story that defies genre conventions to remind us of difficult questions and tangled answers." Kirkus ReviewsScroll up and grab a copy today.

War has been declared in the United States of America. A second revolution, waged by politicians rather than armies, is underway. Touched off by the death of the president - did he die of liver disease or was he assassinated? - partisan factions have squared off to determine who owns the country, and the coming election promises to be bitter and hard-fought. Tommy Sawyer, now a reluctant "journalist" in the nation's capital, finds himself in the middle of the fight. Increasingly skeptical of his new profession and its impact on the life of the country, he is caught between two powerful women who use a corrupt press to bring class and racial tensions to the boiling point. Their rivalry transforms the nation and takes it to the edge of anarchy. In the tradition of The Last Hurrah and Advise and Consent, Nimrod's Tower perfectly captures the zeitgeist of our times, a sobering parable of politics run amuck.
