Coffin's Got the Dead Guy on the Inside
by Keith SnyderWhat Jason Keltner wanted to do, his favorite among incomplete fragments of music he'd created in the last several months. Then Norton Platt made him an offer he could refuse-if he weren't worried about things like rent. Because he was, Jason agreed to babysit Paul Reno. The deal, after all, included expenses. And mileage. But no information about whom he was really being employed by. His first order of business: Take Paul to a party for Huey Benton and see what happens. What happens is that Huey Benton drops dead. What happens next is that Jason and his roommates at the Manor, Robert and Martin, find themselves in the middle of a search for the "dangle." All they know about it is that it has something to do with computers and that far too many people are willing to kill to get their hands on it ... and that Paul, somehow, is in the middle of it all. From Pasadena to Silicon Valley, on and off the Interstates at speeds that would make a new CPU blush, Jason and his friends try to stay ahead of those who think they know something... and close to those who do know about the dongle-about why it's worth killing for and why they're now trying to kill them. In a caper worthy of Donald E. Westlake, Jason and his gang, who wouldn't even think of shooting straight, race through California subcultures looking for answers that will let them live to play another day, and when they find them they face a final problem: what to do with what they've learned when they no longer know whom to trust.

Coffin-Notice
by Matt ColeSet on the harsh streets of New York in 1873, Coffin-Notice introduces private investigator Anson Priddle and his assistant, Flannery McKay, as they work to solve the murder of a young Protestant activist in New York's gritty Five Points district. To make matters worse, found with the body is a coffin-notice, or a card with a coffin crudely drawn on it along with a death threat, as originally used by the Molly Maguires. When the peculiar and mysterious Priddle takes the case, he must hire an assistant because his previous assistant is away in Sing Sing. And out of all who answer a sign for a position that states "No Irish Need Apply," he chooses browbeaten and Irish Flannery McKay for the interview, an intrepid widow who dresses as a man in order to find a higher paying job. As they inch closer to the shocking truth behind the murder, new assistant McKay is drawn deeper and deeper into Priddle's eccentric world of numerous operatives, ranging from lowly street urchins to the city's top politicians, as well as the heart of New York's brimming underworld. Teeming with bits of humor and unforgettable characters and steeped in authentic period detail and historic accuracy, Coffin-Notice is an enchanting page-turner that introduces an equally enchanting duo.

Coincidence: A Novel
by J. W. IronmongerThirty years ago, on the date in June known as Midsummer’s Day, a young girl is mysteriously orphaned. Now, after a life of bizarre and troubling circumstances, she becomes obsessed with the idea that she too will die on Midsummer’s Day . . . until she meets the one man who may be able to save herAzalea Lewis’s life has been dominated by coincidences—a bizarre, and increasingly troubling, series of chance events so perfectly coordinated that any sane person would conclude that only the hidden hand of providence could explain them.On Midsummer’s Day, 1982, at the age of three, Azalea was found wandering a fairground in England, alone, too young to explain what had happened to her or her parents. After a brief investigation, she was declared a ward of the court, and placed in foster care. The following year, the body of a woman—her mother—was found on a nearby beach, but by then everyone had forgotten about the little girl, and no connection was ever made. The couple who adopted Azalea brought her to Africa, where—on Midsummer’s Day, 1992—they were killed in a Ugandan uprising while trying to protect their children. Azalea is spared on that day, but as she grows into adulthood, she discovers that her life has been shaped by an uncanny set of coincidences—all of them leading back to her birth mother, a single mother on the Isle of Man, and the three men who could have been her father, each of whom has played an improbable but very real role in her fate. Troubled by what she has uncovered-and increasingly convinced that she, too, will meet her fate on Midsummer’s Day—she approaches Thomas Post, a rational-minded academic whose specialty is debunking our belief in coincidence: the belief that certain events are linked, even predestined, by the hands of fate. Even as they fall in love, Thomas tries to help to understand her past as a series of random events-not a divinely predetermined order. Yet as the fateful date draws closer, Thomas begins to fear that he may lose her altogether, and she may throw herself into the very fate she fears. A warm and romantic, yet intellectually fascinating, story of two souls trying to make sense of the universe and our place in it, Just Coincidence is an unforgettable novel by a storyteller of masterful gifts.
