Wrongly Accused by Tom Schwartz

When two New Jersey policemen mistake author Jack Shepherd for an underworld drug dealer as he drives home from a meeting with his publisher, they chase his truck on the New Jersey Turnpike and use an unauthorized procedure to stop him. The actions of the police backfire when they realize that Jack is not the notorious drug dealer, but by then it's too late to undo the damage and the only way out for the police is to suppress the evidence and fabricate a story that implicates Jack based on his drunkenness.

      Jack's attorney advises him to plead guilty to a lesser offense, which would result in a short stay at a minimum-security facility. The sentencing judge accepts the plea bargain, but uses Jack's case as an example and gives him to the maximum sentence.

      While in prison, a hardened criminal named Salvador Salinis thinks Jack is an acquaintance and yells the name “Parodi” before attacking him. This attack is the first clue as to whom the police thought he was and the first clue to Jack’s freedom.

Time on the Wire by Jay Giles

Miles Marin, adventure junkie and Mercedes-Benz sales representative, has an expensively dressed, striking blond woman offer to buy the most expensive car on the Mercedes lot—if—Miles will do one favor for her. Miles senses this woman is trouble but his boss wants the sale.
     The favor turns out to be the opening gambit in the kidnapping of Jens Beck, a high-ranking Mercedes marketing executive. Since Miles is the only person who has seen the blond woman’s face, FBI agents Casper and Chance want his help, as does Wernher Lohse, the former Bundeswehr special ops officer sent by Mercedes to secure Beck’s release.
     With the FBI and Lohse joining forces, you’d think the kidnap victim would be rescued quickly. But the kidnappers seem to know their every move and things begin to go horribly wrong. Even adventure junkie Miles wasn’t expecting the ride to be this wild.
