 Dead Famous
by Carol O'Connell
"Kay Scarpetta, Sara Linton, and Dr. Temperance Brennan take a back seat
to Kathy Mallory, who has to be the most interesting and complicated character
in suspense fiction today! Take the phone off the hook, close the window blinds,
and settle in for some great entertainment." -- Emery Pinter, Chapter
11, Atlanta, GA
 Every Secret Thing
by Laura Lippman
"Writing outside her Tess Monaghan series, Lippman has created a fast-paced
novel that will have you on the edge of your chair. With mystery, murder, intrigue,
and betrayal, this is a wow of a book!" -- Virginia Hobson Hicks, Books
on the Bluff, Townsend, GA
 Last Car to Elysian Fields
by James Lee Burke
"A long-missing blues singer, a wealthy writer and her wealthier father and
husband, an Irish killer, and an assortment of Louisiana lowlifes pull Robicheaux
into a viscous roux of angst and murder in one of Burke's best mysteries in years."
-- Betsy Burton, The King's English, Salt Lake City, UT
 The Last Nazi
by Stan Pottinger
"Another well-written thriller by Stan Pottinger. The specter of biological
warfare is all too real in these troubled times. I could not put it down and
stayed up until one in the morning to finish it." -- Alec Milner, Vintage
Books, Vancouver, WA
