SIGNED BOOKS NOW AVAILABLE
Murder in the Latin Quarter is Cara Black’s latest Aimee Leduc investigation. This one is set on the Left Bank of the Seine, the medieval university district of Paris. $24.00
Lawrence Block signed copies of Step By Step: A Pedestrian Memoir. Block chronicles his love for walking. As always, Block is erudite and always amusing. He’s also inspiring. $24.99
The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie is Alan Bradley’s first novel and it is making quite a reputation for itself on both sides of the Atlantic. It introduces Flavia de Luce who is an aspiring chemist with a passion for poison. It is the summer of 1950 and Flavia, who is only eleven-years-old, must solve her first case when a man is found dead on the grounds of her home. The U.K. version precedes this U.S. Edition. $23.00
The Scarecrow by Michael Connelly brings back Jack McEvoy (of The Poet). This time out, Jack is onto a killer who has worked completely below police and FBI radar. A must of course. This is not going to be a club selection because the Limited Edition and, inexplicably, the U.K. edition precedes it, so if you haven’t ordered this already... $27.99

Crumpled Knave is indeed rare. It took me years to find a copy. I'm still looking for Boucher's Nine Times Nine in dj.
