Etat : Good. Fleeing an academic scandal and a broken marriage, Jean Fairbairn has come to Scotland to work for an Edinburgh-based history and travel magazine. Writing about the Scottish national pastime of playing illusion off reality is just the quiet, scholarly pursuit she needs to soothe her burned-out emotions. But when Jean heads for the Highlands to investigate the 18th century mystery of Bonnie Prince Charlie's lost treasure, she finds herself involved in a contemporary murder case--and not as an innocent bystander, either. Alasdair Cameron, the police detective in charge, has his own perspective on reality and illusion. The American dot-com millionaire living out his tartan fantasies in a restored mansion is the loosest of loose cannons. His trophy wife isn't necessarily standing by her man. Their housekeeper knows what's going to happen before it does. And their youth piper is a kilted daydream, even though his parents are nightmares. At Glendessary House, old wounds and old glories aren't distant memories evoked over a glass of single-malt, to the skirl of the pipes. Here, they are up close, personal, and deadly. It's a good thing Jean has back-up in Edinburgh. Because if butting heads--not to mention hearts--with Cameron isn't enough to do her in, then a killer is waiting and watching, with a motive for murder not hidden nearly deeply enough in the past.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. Mystery, history and love set against the spectacular landscape of Monument Valley on the Navajo Indian Reservation. This riveting suspense will keep readers turning pages as lapsed socialite Amanda Bell travels to a remote desert to fulfill her deceased father's last wish-deliver and archive his Southwest literary collection, a gift to the fledgling Navajo Cultural Center. To Durango Yazzie, the Center's Navajo director, her arrival is an intrusive reminder to an already superstitious community of her father's dead body somewhere in the desert never properly put to rest.

Hardback. Etat : Good. It's 1899, and the new century is almost here. Change is everywhere. Kinescope parlors are open, there are plans to build a bridge connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn, and automobiles are claiming the space that belonged to the horse. With the digging of a rapid transit system about to begin, land speculation is intense. Police Detective John Dutch Tonneman, whose involvement with murder was the basis for the Maan Meyers mystery The House on Mulberry Street, is home from serving with Teddy Roosevelt in the Spanish American War. He's eager to convince the lovely Jewish immigrant and photographer Esther Breslau to marry him rather than her mentor, Oswald Cook. Dutch and his cousin, Detective Bo Clancy, are investigating a series of brutal stiletto murders, beginning with that of Delia Swann, a young prostitute in Madame Sophie's establishment. Sophie asks about Delia's missing heart-shaped locket and steers Dutch and Bo to Esther, probably the last person to see Delia alive. Esther, who has been working on her new project-photographs of prostitutes-has taken two photographs of Delia. One shows Delia wearing the locket. After the cop who found Delia's body is murdered, it quickly becomes apparent that the murderer is looking for the locket. Esther is in grave danger. Appearing in this wild ride through turn-of- the-century New York are a murderous organ grinder; an Italian detective named Petrosino; Wong, Oz Cook's enigmatic Chinese houseman; Flora Cooper, a New York Herald reporter; Jack West and Little Jack Meyers, private investigators; cops, robbers, street urchins, land speculators, New York aristocracy, Tammany Hall politicians, and various and sundry early mafia organizations like the Black Hand. THE ORGAN GRINDER is a fast-paced historical thriller, a must-read for every history buff in America.…

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. Skip tracer Henry Swann cares little about anything but money, so when a beautiful Upper East Side woman shows up in his office and hires him to find her missing husband, he smiles and takes the cash. But when this seemingly simple missing-person case turns into homicide, Swann finds himself trapped in a complex web of connections and multiple identities that takes him out of New York City and across two continents. Praise for SWAN'S LAST SONG . Swann's got the smarts and hard-boiled cynicism of Sam Spade, but he's also got a wicked sense of humor that keeps things cool even when the action gets hot. -Brian Kilmeade, author of New York Times bestseller The Games Do Count Salzberg's a hell of a writer. He delivers thrills, insight and plenty of laughs. Swann is a very cool take on the classic P.I. -Andrew Klavan, author of True Crime and Don't Say a Word A veritable travelogue of suspense, SWAN'S LAST SONG grabs hold of the reader and doesn't let go. Salzberg's anti-hero is a soulful investigator and one of the most paradoxically endearing characters I've come across. I hope this isn't Swann's last song. -Joy Behar (co-host of The View) Salzberg defies expectations left and right in this subtly subversive, genre-twisting page turner. SWAN'S LAST SONG is where literature meets entertainment -Mark Goldblatt, author of Africa Speaks. …

Terry P., Verified Reviewer Portland, Maine, homicide detective Joe Burgess needs a vacation. But there's a dead child in Knowlton Park. Rolling up on the scene with a canoe on the roof and fishing poles flapping, Burgess finds little Timmy Watts, viciously stabbed, and carefully wrapped in a new blue blanket. Timmy's parents are life-long crooks, his brothers deal drugs and his sister turns tricks. The only one who seems to care is Timmy's hearing-impaired sister, Iris. But she's keeping her secrets. Then Iris disappears, and Burgess is battling against time to keep more children from dying. The story ramps up on the first page and does not let down until the short post climax.
