TITLE                    AUTHOR                REVIEWER

ABATTOIR BLUES  Peter Robinson    Yvonne Klein       
The theft of a tractor hardly seems an appropriate case for DCI Alan Banks' major crime team, but it rapidly unfolds to include a homicide or two and perhaps far more elaborate international crime.

THE KILLER NEXT DOOR     Alex Marwood        Jim Napier       
A young woman witness a killing and runs for her life.  But her journey will take her into a shadowy world more secret, and violent, than that she was running from; and others will be caught up in the violence.

THE FOUR CORNERS OF PALERMO      Giuseppe Di Piazza        Yvonne Klein       
Born in Palermo, the author began his career as a journalist in that city at the height of the Mafia's bloody rise to power there. These four stories, and the factual accounts that accompany them, reveal how lives were impacted and often destroyed by the crimes committed by Cosa Nostra.

THE SUN IS GOD    Adrian McKinty    Karen Chisholm

THE GOLDEN HOUR      Todd Moss    Deb Shoss           
Professor Judd Ryker tries to prove his theory of the Golden Hour, that the U.S., acting immediately, can reverse a coup using all means at hand - economic, diplomatic, military, backchannel - within the first 100 hours.

DARK SPIES    Matthew Dunn    Anne Corey       
When Will Cochrane, a prized CIA operative, decides to disobey orders and save the life of a fellow agent, he becomes both the world’s most wanted person and the only one who can prevent a plot to destroy the United States.

It has taken a while, but Belfast, "the most noir place on earth," according to Lee Child, finally takes its place in the Akashic City Noir series.

THE CLOCKWORK DAGGER    Beth Cato    PJ Coldren   
Octavia Leander, a medician in Caskentia, finds herself in the middle of conspiracies and danger on her way to her first job placement.
THE PAYING GUESTS (Audio)    Sarah Waters

MURDER AT THE BRIGHTWELL    Ashley Weaver    Caryn St Clair
Even though she has married someone else, Amory Ames agrees to accompany her old flame on a holiday in an effort to convince his sister to dump her rakish boyfriend.

MUZZLED    Eileen Brady        Christine Zibas
