by Nina SiegalValerie Vane was an up-and-coming lifestyle reporter at a prominent New York City daily. Then she stumbled, rather publicly, and lost it all--her column, her fiancé, her access behind the city's velvet ropes. Now she's on the obituary desk writing death notices, and it feels like a dead end. However, when she writes about a recently deceased once-famous graffiti artist, the phone calls start. A mysterious voice on the other end of the line tells her the artist's death was a murder--and if she were a real reporter, she'd investigate. But can Valerie trade her stilettos for gumshoes?
A Little White Death (The Inspector Troy Novels #3)
by John Lawton&“[Lawton&’s] work stands head and shoulders above most other contemporary thrillers, earning those comparisons to Le Carré.&” —The Boston Globe The latest novel from the master spy novelist John Lawton follows Inspector Troy, now Scotland Yard&’s chief detective, deep into a scandal reminiscent of the infamous Profumo affair. England in 1963 is a country set to explode. The old guard, shocked by the habits of the war baby youth, sets out to fight back. The battle reaches uncomfortably close to Troy. While he is on medical leave, the Yard brings charges against an acquaintance of his, a hedonistic doctor with a penchant for voyeurism and young women, two of which just happen to be sleeping with a senior man at the Foreign Office as well as a KGB agent. But on the eve of the verdict, a curious double case of suicide drags Troy back into active duty. Beyond bedroom acrobatics, the secret affairs now stretch to double crosses and deals in the halls of power, not to mention murder. It&’s all Troy can do to stay afloat in a country immersed in drugs and up to its neck in scandal. &“John Lawton is so captivating a storyteller that I&’d happily hear him out on any subject.&” —Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review

Easy comes in early one morning to find one of the teachers already in her classroom. She has a dog with her and a story about a husband gone mad. Before Easy knows what's happening, the teacher is in his arms. Before the day is over the teacher is gone, leaving Easy with her dog, and the handsomest corpse Easy has ever seen is found in the school garden. That night a second corpse turns up. Easy may have left the streets but he hasn't been forgotten. The world is changing faster than he can keep up. The police believe that Easy is involved in the murders. Old enemies are waiting to get even. The principal of the school wants to fire him. His old friends aren't the same and his new friends might be his death.

A Long Gray Line: A Mike Walton Novella
by Simon GervaisFormer counterterrorism expert Simon Gervais' debut novel, THE THIN BLACK LINE, was an immediate sensation and an international bestseller, drawing raves from bestselling authors Steve Berry ("Realistic, vivid, dramatic, this is a story told by someone who knows what he's talking about"), David Morell ("A high-speed, break-neck, turbo-charged thriller that takes readers behind the scenes of the war on terrorism"), and others, along with reviewers such as Ottawa Life, which called THE THIN BLACK LINE, "A fascinating look into Canada's covert operations, complemented by loveable and heroic characters you will find yourself rooting for." Now those characters are back in a sequel novella that puts them on a mission with potentially devastating consequences. A LONG GRAY LINE pits the International Market Stabilization Institute - a privately funded organization operating outside official channels to protect North America's financial interests - against two foes at the same time. One could decimate the American stock market and throw the entire world economy into a tailspin. The other is a piece of unfinished business from their last operation that could be even more destructive. Their ability to act in the face of confounding choices will have an effect on the future for years to come. Featuring Mike and Lisa Walton - the husband-and-wife team of operatives who led the charge in THE THIN BLACK LINE - A LONG GRAY LINE is a thriller so packed with action and tension that it contains enough excitement for stories four times its size.
