Hardback. Etat : Fair. Middling historian Lucas Paige visits St. Louis to give a sparsely attended reading--nothing out of the ordinary. Except among the yawning attendees is someone he did not expect: Lola Faye Gilroy, the other woman he has long blamed for his father's murder decades earlier. Reluctantly, Luke joins Lola Faye for a drink. As one drink turns into several, these two battered souls relive, from their different perspectives, the most searing experience of their lives. Slowly but surely, the hotel bar dissolves around them and they are transported back to the tiny southern town where this defining moment--a violent crime of passion--is turned in the light once more to reveal flaws in the old answers. As it turns out, there is much Luke doesn't know. And what he doesn't know can hurt him. Trapped in an increasingly intense emotional exchange, and with no place to go save back into his own dark past, Luke struggles to gain control of an ever more threatening conversation, to discover why Lola Faye has come and what she is after--before it is too late. A taut literary thriller in the gothic tradition of Master of the Delta. …

Etat : Very Good. Thomas Cook is one of today's most acclaimed writers of psychological thrillers, penning hypnotic tales of forbidden love and devastating secrets. Now he has written an unforgettable novel that weaves one man's tortured life with a deadly mystery that spans five decades. Riverwood is an artists' community in the Hudson River valley, a serene place where writers can perfect their craft.

Enter Paul Graves, a writer who draws upon the pain of his own tragic past to write haunting tales of mystery.

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. With The Crime of Julian Wells, Thomas H. Cook, one of America's most acclaimed suspense writers, has written a novel in the grand tradition of the twisty, cerebral thriller. It's a mystery of identity, a journey into the maze of a mysterious life. When famed true-crime writer Julian Wells' body if found in a boat drifting on a Montauk pond, the question is not how he died, but why? The death is obviously a suicide. But why would Julian Wells have taken his own life? And was this his only crime? These are the questions that first intrigue and then obsess Philip Anders, Wells' best friend and the chief defender of both his moral and his literary legacies. Anders' increasingly passionate and dangerous quest to answer these questions becomes a journey into a haunted life, one marked by travel, learning, achievement and adventure, a life that should have been celebrated, but whose lonely end points to terrors still unknown. Spanning four decades and traversing three continents, The Crime of Julian Wells is a journey into one man's heart of darkness than ends in a blaze of light. Praise for The Crime of Julian Wells Philip's travels through three continents bring him in contact with a succession of unsavory people and deeper into a world that walks a fine line between appearance and reality. Cook's characterizations are richly balanced and finely nuanced, with a narrative driven more by psychological insight than pyrotechnics. -Los Angeles Times Philip's own odyssey --to find the meaning behind his friend's death-- is one of the many pleasures of Mr. Cook's intelligent and elegant work. -Wall Street Journal Unfolds slowly but hauntingly. hearkens back to the best work of such authors as Eric Ambler and Graham Greene while standing firmly on its own. -BookReporter Spellbinding. -Publishers Weekly Cook] knows how to spin a seductive tale. -Booklist An homage to the Graham Greene school of spy novels - erudite, layered, set in the modern day but with a distinctly antique overlay, all croquet and Proust and crumbling towers. a well-crafted story> -Charlotte Observer There's not a single word too many in this novel. The author wanted to tell a story about love and loss, but also about personal and collective pain, and dress it in a coat of mystery and he did just that. This is not your usual crime novel. -Criminal Element Thomas H. Cook has been crafting some of the best novels in the crime fiction genre for the past 30 years. And for all too many readers, this may be the first time you've ever heard of him. His latest novel, The Crime of Julian Wells, is an excellent addition to Cook's body of work. -Tulsa World The mystery at the heart of Thomas H. Cook's new novel, The Crime of Julian Wells, emerges like the image on a jigsaw puzzle whose pieces the author dispenses, one by one, until the pattern emerges, complete and inevitable. In this elegant thriller, there are no sudden moves. Action is born of stillness and reflection while the crimes of the past, reluctantly exposed, bleed gradually but inexorably into the present. -Barnes & Noble Review.…
