3 Novels by Derek Ciccone
Requirements: ePUB or MOBI reader, 4.24mb
Overview: Derek’s books are fast-paced, and filled with suspense, romance, and humor. But they are best known for their layered, memorable characters–the ones you still remember long after finishing the book. They’re also usually written in first-person and all about the stories, not himself, so it is really strange for him to be writing this personal bio in third-person!
Derek grew up in a small Connecticut town, similar to many of the settings in his stories. He has a degree in political science from Arizona State University, and was marketing director at an ad agency in his past life.

When the law ends, the pursuit of justice begins!
Born into a legal dynasty, Jack Lawson was a natural who was making a name for himself as one of Manhattan’s top young lawyers.

But the peaceful village is shattered when a body is found on the estate of the county’s most famous resident, and American hero, Drew Anderson. A man considered to be so perfect that he is nicknamed Max Q after the benchmark for systems perfection during a space launch.. And it isn’t just anybody who is found dead—the victim is widely considered to be one of the world’s most infamous women.
When Anderson is arrested for the murder, Jack ends up with the case that everyone wants to “go away,” and some are willing to go to the deadly lengths to make sure it does.

The Truant Officer (2011)
To have and to hold from this day forward…
Darren McLaughlin thinks he’s having a nightmare as he watches his wife, Lilly, being abducted from a gas station in Chandler, Arizona. Things then go from bad to worse, when it’s revealed that her captor is one of the students she taught at a local high school.
For better or worse…
In Manhattan, US Attorney Aaron Eicher cringes upon learning the identity of the man who abducted Lilly McLaughlin. Nick was the one thing holding his case together against the son of Russian crime boss, Viktor Sarvydas—but now his star witness was on the run, and in mortal danger. It is just the latest surprise in a case that went against everything he’d learned in school—when it came to the Russian Mafya 1+1=3.
Seeking refuge in Israel, fleeing the fallout of his son’s arrest, Viktor Sarvydas smiles when he learns the news about Nick. He knows that it’s now just a matter of time before he comes face to face with the man who was going to testify against his son.
With the FBI, media, and dueling Russian assassins in a cross-country race to get to Nick and Lilly, it becomes clear that the only one who can truly save them is Darren. Will he get to them first, or will…death do us part?
The Heritage Paper (2012)
What seems like an innocent school project to trace family history, reveals a dark secret. Maggie Peterson uncovers that her great-grandmother, Ellen, was part of the inner-circle of Nazi Germany. What’s more, she has left behind clues of a diabolical plot that connects to historical events ranging from Pearl Harbor to 9/11 … all building to the upcoming presidential election.
The claims are met with heavy skepticism, and attributed to the failing mind of an elderly woman. But each passing clue washes away doubt, leaving Veronica Peterson trapped in a mother’s nightmare – her instincts are to protect her daughter’s safety at any cost, but knows that Maggie might be the only chance to prevent a sequel of the worst horror story the world has ever seen … and must let her run toward the danger.
