There is a peculiar allure of insidious characters—and especially assassins, hit men, and their ilk. Perhaps we find their uncomplicated moral codes and brutal efficiency appealing. These characters care little about ethics—and perhaps that alone, that freedom from guilt, is exactly why we love them. Perhaps, deep down, we wish we could be like them. And perhaps, by reading stories with such characters, we can vicariously experience that thrill. With this fascination with evil characters in mind, Smart Rhino Publications decided to publish this anthology, Insidious Assassins, a sequel to Uncommon Assassins.The book contains 24 stories by some of the best horror, suspense, science fiction, and fantasy authors writing today--including Jack Ketchum, Joe Lansdale, Billie Sue Mosiman, Lisa Mannetti, L.L. Soares, James Dorr, Shaun Meeks, and 17 others! In these stories, you will meet some truly insidious characters--characters you may find yourself applauding when you know you shouldn't. Enjoy!

Legacy of the Dragon (A Paul Chang Mystery, 2)

For former NYPD and Delaware State Police detective Paul Chang, retiring to open his own agency with former partner Nelson Rogers should mean leaving behind politics and scapegoating. Instead, corrupt Colonel Byrd of the state police and his lackey Clyde Foley harass Chang at every turn, and their unwanted attention puts his fledgling business on the brink of bankruptcy. With the police on his back and the agency taking sleazy cases he never thought he’d have to, Chang erupts under the job’s pressures and sees his personal demon, an alter ego he calls the dragon, emerge. Only the training from his martial arts teacher and old friend Shu keeps Chang sane. But his ex-wife Colleen and a journalist are being stalked by someone trying to make it look like Chang is the aggressor, and when the harassment turns deadly, the lives of everyone close to him are in danger. Unable to wait for events to take their course, Chang must unleash the dragon. A scintillating second installment in J. Gregory Smith’s Paul Chang mystery series, Legacy of the Dragon is a first-rate thriller that explores the sins of our past and the toll they exact in our present.

A Noble Cause

Mark Noble plans a surprise proposal to his girlfriend during a romantic Caribbean vacation. But before he can pop the question, she disappears, and his father -- a world-famous celebrity doctor who seems to have perfected mind-control -- is killed in a mysterious fire back home. While searching for his girlfriend, Mark finds himself chased by two dangerous thugs, and the race is on to find out the truth of her disappearance before it's too late.Mark's investigation into his girlfriend's disappearance and his father's death uncovers a sinister connection, a mystery he attempts to unravel with the help of his eccentric grandmother and the courageous crew -- one a former Navy SEAL -- of her luxury yacht. Putting all of their lives at risk, Mark comes up against a rich and powerful foe determined to pry from Mark a secret he doesn't even know he possesses. Not since Richard Condon's The Manchurian Candidate and Dean Koontz's False Memory have such keen intelligence, shocking twists, and explosive turns graced the thriller genre. Its intensity increasing from the very beginning, A Noble Cause pounds the senses with such uncompromising originality that there is little to do but rush toward its shattering climax.
