› Find signed collectible books: 'The Alienist'
The year is 1896, the place, New York City. On a cold March night New York Times reporter John Schuyler Moore is summoned to the East River by his friend and former Harvard classmate Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, a psychologist, or "alienist." On the unfinished Williamsburg Bridge, they view the horribly mutilated body of an adolescent boy, a prostitute from one of Manhattan's infamous brothels.
The newly appointed police commissioner, Theodore Roosevelt, in a highly unorthodox move, enlists the two men in the murder investigation, counting on the reserved Kreizler's intellect and Moore's knowledge of New York's vast criminal underworld. They are joined by Sara Howard, a brave and determined woman who works as a secretary in the police department. Laboring in secret (for alienists, and the emerging discipline of psychology, are viewed by the public with skepticism at best), the unlikely team embarks on what is a revolutionary effort in criminology-- amassing a psychological profile of the man they're looking for based on the details of his crimes. Their dangerous quest takes them into the tortured past and twisted mind of a murderer who has killed before. and will kill again before the hunt is over.
Fast-paced and gripping, infused with a historian's exactitude, The Alienist conjures up the Gilded Age and its untarnished underside: verminous tenements and opulent mansions, corrupt cops and flamboyant gangsters, shining opera houses and seamy gin mills. Here is a New York during an age when questioning society's belief that all killers are born, not made, could have unexpected and mortal consequences.

Frustrated that her high-tech forensic skills have apparently proved useless, Kay enlists the help of and ace crime reporter and a psychic whose powers have been vouched for by the FBI.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Black Notice'
It's Christmastime in Richmond, Virginia, but no one seems merry--least of all Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta, back for her 10th outing as a crime-solving coroner. Actress Kate Reading also returns, reading her third unabridged audio for Patricia Cornwell's death-drenched series. This one finds Scarpetta still recovering from the murder of her lover and in a generally foul mood as an investigation of a badly decomposed body leads her to INTERPOL, and eventually, Paris. Series regulars Police Detective Pete Marino, recently demoted, and niece Lucy are in equally cantankerous states of mind, resulting in more blue language than Cornwell regulars may be used to. Reading proves she's up to the task, maintaining multiple distinct voices and highlighting the occasional humor in the overwhelmingly dark novel. A London-based stage actress, she captivates the listener without careening into melodrama. (Running time: 12.5 hours, 8 cassettes) --Kimberly Heinrichs [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Body Farm'
New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell brings back Kay Scarpetta, consulting forensic pathologist for the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit, in her grittiest and most compelling novel. In rural North Carolina, the brutal murder of eleven-year-old Emily Steiner has shaken a small town. But more disturbing are the details of the crimes, chillingly reminiscent of the handiwork of a serial killer who has eluded the unit for years. Into this volatile atmosphere comes Scarpetta's ingenious, rebellious niece Lucy, an FBI intern with a promising future in Quantico's computer engineering facility--until she is accused of a shocking security violation. While coming to terms with Lucy, Kay must conduct a grisly forensic investigation at a clandestine research facility in Tennessee known as the Body Farm. There she will find more answers to Emily Steiner's murder--and evidence that paints a picture of a crime more horrifying than she imagined . . . [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Bone Collector'
The hero of Jeffery Deaver's thriller The Bone Collector is Lincoln Rhyme, a forensic scientist known to his peers as "the world's foremost criminalist." Rhyme will need all his reason--and his considerable stock of high-tech tools--about him to solve this latest brain-twister: a serial killer with method to his madness. In tried and true thriller fashion, the killer's crimes are described in lurid detail, as is the astounding technological equipment with which Rhyme examines the evidence--everything from an energy-dispersive x-ray unit to a mass spectrometer.
Every fictional detective has his or her gimmick, from Sherlock Holmes's violin to Nero Wolf's orchids, and Rhyme is no exception. He is a quadriplegic who can move nothing but a single finger. Gadget-philes will be in seventh heaven reading about Lincoln Rhyme's tools; other readers might feel the book could do with a few more plausible characters and a little less technology. [via]

In 1994, Rwanda was the scene of the first acts since World War II to be legally defined as genocide. Two years later, Clea Koff, a twenty-three-year-old forensic anthropologist, left the safe confines of a lab in Berkeley, California, to serve as one of sixteen scientists chosen by the United Nations to unearth the physical evidence of the Rwandan genocide. Over the next four years, Koffs grueling investigations took her across geography synonymous with some of the worst crimes of the twentieth century.
The Bone Woman is Koffs unflinching, riveting account of her seven UN missions to Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, and Rwanda, as she shares what she saw, how it affected her, who was prosecuted based on evidence she found, and what she learned about the world. Yet even as she recounts the hellish nature of her work and the heartbreak of the survivors, she imbues her story with purpose, humanity, and a sense of justice. A tale of science in service of human rights, The Bone Woman is, even more profoundly, a story of hope and enduring moral principles. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Coffin Dancer'
This return engagement for quadriplegic criminologist Lincoln Rhyme is strong on forensic details as Rhyme tracks an elusive assassin known only by the tattoo that gives this fast-paced thriller its title.
Three witnesses to a murder could put a millionaire arms dealer behind bars for good. When one of them, the co-owner of Hudson Air, is blown up in a plane bombing with the Dancer's fingerprints all over it, the FBI takes the other witnesses into protective custody. Only Rhyme can decipher a crime scene, read the residue of a bombing, or identify a handful of dirt well enough to keep up with the killer. Helped by Amelia Sachs, his brilliant and able-bodied assistant, Rhyme traces the Dancer through Manhattan streets, airports, and subways. The psychological tension builds rapidly from page one all the way to the stunning and unexpected denouement. At the same time, Jeffery Deaver slowly develops the against-all-odds love affair between Rhyme and Sachs. Fans of Patricia Cornwell and others in the growing subgenre of forensic thrillers will find a lot to enjoy in Deaver's latest. --Jane Adams [via]

"In Quebec, winters can be slow for the forensic anthropologist. The temperature rarely rises above freezing. The rivers and lakes ice over, the ground turns rock hard, and snow buries everything. Bugs disappear, and many scavengers go underground. The result: Corpses do not putrefy in the great outdoors. Floaters are not pulled from the St. Lawrence... and some of last season's dead are not found until the spring melt."
Readers of Kathy Reichs's cool and clever first forensic thriller Déjà Dead will recognize the ironic voice of Tempe (short for Temperance) Brennan, the North Carolina-born scientist who winds up working at the Laboratoire de Médicine Légale in Montreal. Here she bristles at the conservative attitudes of some of her Canadian colleagues.
Despite the cold weather, Tempe's workload quickly becomes heavy: the bones of a long-dead nun now up for sainthood have been moved and tampered with; a deadly house fire turns out to be arson; and a university teaching assistant disappears after joining a cult. Tempe must figure out where (and why) all the bodies are buried in the hard Canadian ground. Her investigations take her home to North Carolina, and to a strange colony living on an offshore island.
Unlike certain other writers who specialize in forensic pathology, Reichs doesn't revel in the horror of death or rub our noses in gore: she uses the science of death to reveal rather than to shock or startle. It definitely makes for easier reading--especially at mealtimes. --Dick Adler [via]

Temperance Brennan is helping her Guatemalan colleagues identify the remains of villagers who were "disappeared" 20 years ago when she's called in to consult on four more recent disappearances. Is there a serial killer loose in Guatemala City, or is the fate of the young women who have gone missing--including the daughter of the Canadian ambassador--connected to the murder of a human rights investigator looking into the decades-old massacre? Between the well in Chupan Ya where she unearths the bones of women and children slain in Guatemala's bloody civil war and the septic tank in the capital where the remains of one of the missing girls turn up, Brennan, the protagonist of Reichs's popular series, is literally hip-deep in intrigue. Tempe is a standout in crime fiction's crowded field of forensics experts. One of its more complex and interesting protagonists, she deals with intriguing cases that often cross national borders and has a personal life that's rich in possibilities the author skilfully exploits. Tempe--and Reichs--just keep getting better. --Jane Adams [via]

Even more creepy, the taunting note has been signed by Carrie Grethen, the psychotic killer Kay helped send to a psychiatric facility for going on a murder spree with Temple Gault in Cornwell's earlier book Body Farm. Benton believes that Grethen--who also happens to be the former lover of Scarpetta's niece Lucy--has big plans for a comeback. And before Kay and Benton can leave for their trip and discuss it further, Scarpetta is called upon to don yet another professional hat, that of a "consulting forensic pathologist" for the federal government. Someone has burned a highfalutin horse ranch and all of its contents, including a human being, to the ground. Worse, Grethen has escaped and is on the loose and closer to Kay and her beloved than she knows.

Die Erwartungen sind verständlicherweise sehr hoch, schließlich gilt sie als "erfolgreichste Thrillerautorin der Welt", hat Preise eingeheimst im In- und Ausland: Patricia Cornwell hat Stil, Biss und Engagement, auch in ihrem neuen Buch. Vertraute Personen, altbekannte Freundschaften, wer mehr als einen Krimi dieser Autorin gelesen hat, der fühlt sich irgendwie gleich zu Hause. Da ist Dr. Kay Scarpetta, die Chefin der Gerichtsmedizin in Virginia, ihr Lebensgefährte, FBI-Agent Wesley und ihre Nichte Lucy, Computerspezialistin.
Mit einem Drohbrief der vor Jahren überführten psychopathischen Killerin Carrie startet das Spannungskarussell. Parallel ein mysteriöser Brandanschlag auf das Anwesen des "Medienmoguls" Sparkes, in den Brandtrümmern die Leiche einer jungen Frau. Die Ermittlungen laufen auf Hochtouren, die Hiobsbotschaft lässt nicht auf sich warten: Carrie ist aus der Psychiatrie ausgebrochen. "Ich hab so ein Gefühl, dass wir von ihr diesmal weit Schlimmeres zu erwarten haben," mutmaßt Kay Scarpetta und sie soll recht behalten.
Patricia Cornwell, die einmal Tennisprofi werden wollte, dann aber doch in der Gerichtsmedizin arbeitete und sich mit Polizeireportagen einen Namen machte, recherchiert penibel und äußerst detailliert. Da wird aus beachtlichem Fundus beruflicher Erfahrungen geschöpft, da hat alles Hand und Fuß, stellenweise liest sich der Thriller wie ein Tatsachenbericht aus der Gerichtsmedizin. Das ist weder unspannend noch nervenschonend, aber: für zart besaitete Seelen, für Liebhaber des eher psychologisch raffinierten, feineren Krimis ist der neue Roman eher nichts. Denn hier geht es zur Sache, deutlich, direkt, schonungslos. "Der untere Teil des Gesichts bestand aus verbrannten, kalkweißen Knochen... und bröckeligen Zähnen. Von den Ohren war das meiste weg, doch von den Augen aufwärts war das Fleisch gekocht..."
Scarpetta, eine abgebrühte Frau, manchmal knallhart und doch -- Gott sei Dank -- mit menschlichen Regungen. Nach mehrfachen Auftritten in vorherigen Romanen hat sie angenehm an Profil gewonnen. "Ich muss zugeben, dass es mein größter Wunsch ... ist, sie tot zu sehen", sagt die Gerichtsmedizinerin über Carrie und weiß, dass sie in äußerster Lebensgefahr ist. --Barbara Wegmann [via]

Kathy Reichs' forensische Anthropologin Temperance Brennan wird außerhalb ihrer Routinetätigkeiten stets dann zu Rate gezogen, wenn Opfer von Gewaltverbrechen nun beim besten Willen nicht mehr zu identifizieren sind. Und wenn der Leser dann den sicheren Eindruck gewinnt, dass die Heldin vor diversen Knochenhaufen und Gewebefetzen kapitulieren muss, kriegt sie doch wieder die Kurve.
Die couragierte Brennan hat sich diesen zuweilen recht unappetitlichen Job selbst zuzuschreiben, war ihr doch vor Jahren ihre rein archäologische Arbeit ein wenig fad geworden. Auch in ihrem neuen Fall steht die "Knochenbeschwörerin" zunächst vor einem schier unlösbaren Problem. Ein kleines Mädchen wurde unschuldiges Opfer eines Bandenkampfes von kriminellen Bikern. Zwei Mitglieder einer Biker-Gang wurden außerdem von rivalisierenden Genossen in die Luft gejagt -- an Tempe Brennan liegt es nun, die Teile korrekt zu sortieren. Doch damit beginnen erst die dramatischen Ermittlungen in einem Krieg verfeindeter Motorradgangs, die um die Kontrolle des Drogenhandels in Montreal kämpfen. Zudem ist Brennan nervlich stark angekratzt. Ihr Freund Ryan, selbst Polizist, scheint ins kriminelle Milieu abgedriftet zu sein und wurde bereits von der Arbeit suspendiert. Ihre zugeteilten Kollegen Claudel und Quickwater scheinen sie alles andere als ernst zu nehmen. Richtig haarig wird es dann, als Tempes Neffe Kit, auf Besuch in Montreal und selbst Motorradfan, in den Dunstkreis der Biker und damit in höchste Lebensgefahr gerät. Die Anthropologin sieht sich zum Handeln außerhalb ihres Labors gezwungen.
Kathy Reichs schlägt in ihrem neuen Roman zunächst eine ruhige Gangart an, vermag jedoch Spannung und Tempo bis zu einem fulminanten Showdown stetig zu steigern. Dabei werden die meisten Leser über die zuweilen arg akademisch anmutenden Dialoge und die Selbstverständlichkeit, mit der wieder einmal eine Ermittlerin persönlich in einen Fall involviert ist, wohlwollend hinweglesen. --Ulrich Deurer [via]
