Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Crimes of Jordan Wise'Book summary:Jordan Wise is a mild-mannered accountant with a large San Francisco[via]
engineering firm in the late 1970s. By his own admission, the first
thirty-four years of his life were dull, empty. But that all changes
when he meets and falls in love with Annalise Bonner, an ambitious
young woman who craves excitement, a life on the edge.
With her as the catalyst, Wise concocts and executes a meticulous
plan to steal more than half a million dollars from his firm. They
escape to the Virgin Islands, but their plans to live a life of quiet
luxury are beset by unexpected pitfalls -- and Wise is forced to
carry out two more ingenious schemes as a result. All three of his
crimes are perfect -- or are they?
THE CRIMES OF JORDAN WISE is a classic tale of love, greed, betrayal,
and violence told with Bill Pronzini's characteristic twists and
turns and his special brand of suspense. It is also a powerful
psychological examination of a man, a woman, and the wages of sin.More editions of The Crimes of Jordan Wise:

Find This BookBook summary:After his wife's betrayal and his own retirement from the force, Detective Inspector Elder has fled as far as possible to go in England without running out of land. But he is haunted by the past and in particular by the unsolved disappearance of sixteen-year-old Susan Blacklock back in 1988. Shane Donald and Alan McKeirnan, convicted just one year later for the brutal rape and murder of a young girl, remain the prime suspects in Elder's mind, and when he hears of Shane's early release from prison, he feels compelled to leave his safe haven and to revisit the scene of the crime. When Shane breaks parole and disappears and yet another young girl is horribly murdered, Elder's involvement becomes crucial. McKiernan seems to still wield a frightening power over his ex-partner even from his prison cell, and the new murder bears all the hallmarks of their earlier crime. Taunted by postcards from the killer, an increasingly desperate Elder battles his own demons as he and his family are inexorably drawn into the very heart of the crime in this breakthrough novel from John Harvey, winner of the first-ever Sherlock Award for the best detective created by a British author.[via]More editions of Flesh & Blood:

And on the other side of the famous Triple Gate in the city's fortified walls, three formidable enemiesthe Lion Darius's commander-in-chief Memnon of Rhodes, the Persian satrap Orontobates, and the Greek renegade Ephialteslay the trap they have cunningly devised to make this battle Alexander's hellish last.[via]More editions of The Gates of Hell:

Mask of Nightby Philip GoodenISBN 0786713127 (0-7867-1312-7)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Mask of Night'Book summary:No good idea ever goes unimitated. Thus, recent years have introduced several mystery series built around disaster-bedeviled Elizabethan theater troupes. The most consistently entertaining of these may be Edward Marston's stories about Westfield's Men and resourceful stage manager Nicholas Bracewell (The Vagabond Clown), but in close competition is Simon Hawke's series starring a young William Shakespeare and his friend Symington "Tuck" Smythe III as amateur sleuths (The Merchant of Vengeance). The Bard does a turn too in Philip Goodens Mask of Night, the fifth lighthearted puzzler to feature actor-cum-detective Nick Revill.
With London bracing for twin tragedies--the imminent death of Queen Elizabeth I and the spread of bubonic plague--Revill and his fellow members of Chamberlain's Men hie off in 1603 to Oxford. There they are to perform Romeo and Juliet for the benefit of two feud-prone families about to be linked through marriage. But the pestilence follows these performers west, making them less than welcome in the college town, and what joy should have arisen from the nuptials of William Sadler and Sarah Constant is soured by the locked-room knifing of a local doctor and aspiring thespian, who had commissioned the company's Oxford appearance. As he did in The Pale Companion and Alms for Oblivion, Revill--already alert to a poisoning threat against the bride, wary of Shakespeare's evident dalliance with a tavern keeper's striking spouse, and spooked by the crepuscular roamings of men attired as giant black birds--must do his unheroic best to separate happenstance from homicide. This will require figuring out not only how a corpse changed his shoes, but what relationship the perishing of a formidable old nurse has to do with "naughty mens cherries."
British author Gooden has some trouble here keeping all of his plot lines lively; one, concerning Sarah Constant's envious cousin, is particularly disappointing for how much it promises but how little it delivers. Yet Mask of Night nimbly captures the societal arcana of 17th-century England, with its con men profiting from faked sicknesses and physicians fusing science with superstition. Endowed of circuitous intrigues and a perspicacious protagonist, this novel is--to quote the Bard himself--"as merry as the day is long." --J. Kingston Pierce [via]

Edward rapidly falls under Churchills spell and quickly abandons his investigation to concentrate instead on finding the murderer of a Foreign Office official who may have been one of Churchills sources. He soon finds himself trying to untangle a web of deception that threatens the security of the state. There is a second murder within the Foreign Office, and Edward sets out for Spain to find the murdered mans son, though his real objective is to satisfy the gnawing fear that his friend Verity Browne, also in Spain, is in extreme peril. Verity is reporting on the Civil War for the New Gazette, and she senses a scoop when she is given secret information that the enemy is planning an attack on the undefended town of Guernica. With Edward in tow she arrives just in time to witness a barbarous aerial bombardment on a civilian population with no means of defending itself. However, a near-certain death awaits Edward in England, where nothingincluding the woman he lovesis what it appears to be.[via]More editions of The More Deceived:

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Original Illustrated Strand Sherlock'Book summary:It is more than a century since the ascetic, gaunt and enigmatic detective, Sherlock Holmes, made his first appearance in A Study in Scarlet. From 1891, beginning with The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the now legendary and pioneering Strand Magazine began serialising Arthur Conan Doyle's matchless tales of detection, featuring the incomparable sleuth patiently assisted by his doggedly loyal and lovably pedantic friend and companion, Dr Watson. The stories are illustrated by the remarkable Sydney Paget from whom our images of Sherlock Holmes and his world derive and who first equipped Holmes with his famous deerstalker hat. The literary cult of Sherlock Holmes shows no sign of fading with time as each new generation comes to love and revere the penetrating mind and ruthless logic which were the undoing of so many Victorian master criminals.

Still, his skill isn't enough to keep Will alive, and when his father is killed right in front of Joe's eyes, the young deputy vows to avenge him. But first he must find out how the kidnapping of a tycoon's daughter, a scam to line the pockets of Will Trona's political enemies, the murder of two Guatemalan immigrants, the unholy activities of a charismatic minister who's a close friend of the Trona family, and the strange alliance of two rival L.A. gangs are connected to Will's death.
Every secret Joe uncovers leads deeper into his beloved father's murky past and ultimately his own. But the reader stays right with this extraordinary man as he battles his demons and ultimately vanquishes them. Author T. Jefferson Parker (The Blue Hour, Red Light, Laguna Heat) is one of the best thriller writers working today. Fans of Michael Connelly and Dennis Lehane--and Raymond Chandler, for that matter--will appreciate Parker's ability to create a complex, fascinating, and fully realized hero whose inner reality is brilliantly revealed by his actions. Will Trona is an equally intriguing invention; while ultimately he is an enigma, we remain convinced that he is worthy of his son's devotion. Silent Joe is a mindful, intelligent novel you can't put down. It should break Parker out with the really big boys of mystery fiction, the million-sellers with the marquee names. In fact, he's a much better writer than most of them, and unlike many, he never tells the same story twice. --Jane Adams [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Snowman's Children'Book summary:The Snowmans Children is a poignant, psychologically intense first novel that tells the story of an incident from one mans childhood in the 1970s, when a serial killer called The Snowman stalked the streets of suburban Detroit. The incident, a result of good but woefully misguided juvenile intentions, forced his family to leave their home, and eventually forced him, at age twenty-nine, to return to his hometown in search of three old friends. Reminiscent of both To Kill a Mockingbird in its touching portrait of childhood, and the beautifully written brand of suspense that calls to mind Smillas Sense of Snow, The Snowmans Children is an unusually controlled and original novel that establishes Hirshberg as an important new voice in American literature.[via]
