Person of Interest
by Emery HarperFollow the zany antics of Celeste Eagan: prep school theater teacher by day, amateur sleuth by night. The first book in a new series from author Emery Harper, full of mystery and mayhem.Just last week, I was a regular single mom and drama teacher at Peytonville Prep with a semi-normal life. The only real drama I had to deal with involved my football-coach ex and his hussy girlfriend. And maybe deciding if I should take that full-time principal/actress job at the local playhouse.Everything changed when I discovered my boss hanging in his office. The suicide turned out to be a murder and my ex went suspiciously MIA. I tried to find some answers, but all that got me was labeled a person of interest by the attractively uptight Detective Shaw Muldoon. Not exactly the way I was hoping to interest him, if you know what I mean.Now my life is plenty exciting, if you count a stint in jail, several attempted break-ins, more dead bodies and the odd exploding car. Did I mention I also have my own personal stalker? It's becoming pretty clear that if I don't unmask the killer soon, my life won't ever be boring again...it will be over.

Person or Persons Unknown (Sir John Fielding Mystery #4)
by Bruce AlexanderLegendary nineteenth-century London judge Sir John Fielding returns in the fourth--and most thrilling--of Bruce Alexander's highly praised mysteries. From the first book, the mystery lovers verdict has been unanimous: the Fielding hooks are "enthralling" (The New York Times Book Review), "first-rate" (The Boston Globe), "wonderful, beautifully written and altogether fun: (The Washington Post). John Fielding was famous not only as cofounder of London's first police force, the Bow Street Runners, but also as a magistrate of keen intellect, fairness and uncommon detective ability. When a crime was committed, he often took it upon himself to solve it. What made this all the more remarkable was that he was blind. Now the blind magistrate and his young assistant and ward, Jeremy Proctor, face a series of crimes that hit shockingly close to home. Prostitutes are being murdered around Covent Garden, and there are troubling implications about the identity of the killer. Baffled and frustrated, Fielding devises a daring and desperate plan, but the consequences are unexpected and more terrible even than he could imagine. Filled with the authentic sights and sounds and atmosphere of the times, and with a supremely colorful and varied cast of characters, Person or Persons Unknown is in every way a worthy addition to a marvelous series. BRUCE ALEXANDER is the pseudonym for a well-known author of fiction and nonfiction. The previous books in the series are Blind Justice, Murder in Grub Street (named by The New York Times Book Review as one of the Notable Books of 1995 in crime fiction) and Watery Grave. Alexander is at work on the fifth Sir John Fielding novel.

Personae: A Novel
by Sergio de la Pava“Personae is not an easy read . . . But as a meditation on literature, it is playful, ambitious, and full of imagination, a 21st-century novel-of-some-kind.” —Daily BeastSergio De La Pava’s A Naked Singularity was one of the most highly praised debut novels in decades. The Wall Street Journal called it “a propulsive, mind-bending experience,” and named it one of the ten best books of the year. This book is nothing like that one. Just look at it: A Naked Singularity was a brick of a book, 678 pages, and this one’s slim—lean and focused. A Naked Singularity locked us into the unforgettable voice of its protagonist, Casi, while Personae shimmers and shifts among different perspectives, locations, and narrative techniques.But sharp readers will quickly see that the two books are the work of the same hand. The sheer energy of De La Pava’s sentences, his eye for absurd humor, his commitment to the idea of justice—all will be familiar here as they carry us from the tale of an obsessive, damaged psychic detective consumed by a murder case, into a Sartrean drama that raises questions (and jokes) about responsibility, fate, death, and more. And when De La Pava eventually returns us to the investigation, this time seen from the other side, the lives and deaths bound up in it feel all the more real, and moving, even as solid answers slip away into mist.In some ways, despite its brevity, Personae is even more surprising and challenging than A Naked Singularity—and, in its ambition and fierce intelligence, it’s proof that Sergio De La Pava is here to stay.
