SIGNED COPIES NOW AVAILABLE

The Ninth Step is Gabriel Cohen’s latest Jack Leightner novel. A killing in a Brooklyn deli takes a bizarre turn when a crew of Homeland Security agents show up wearing anti-radiation gear. Soon Homicide Detective Leightner is embroiled in two dangerous and far-reaching investigations. $25.99

The Passage by Justin Cronin is being billed as the hot read of the Summer. I’m reading it now and so far it is spectacular! I have only read a quarter of this more than 700-page novel but I’m beginning to think this is even better than my all-time favorite apocalyptic novel, The Stand by Stephen King, to which it is being compared. The writing is crisp, the story is riveting, and I can’t wait to cancel all my social obligations so I can just sit at home and devour this extraordinary story. The bad news is that it’s the first book in a trilogy! An Unclassifiable Club Selection. $27.00

The Lion by Nelson DeMille features special agent John Corey who is once again on the trail of his arch-enemy, the Libyan terrorist known as The Lion. Ten years ago, The Lion disappeared (this story is told in The Lion’s Game) but now he has resurfaced and is methodically murdering his enemies. A Crime Collector’s Club Selection. $27.99

Peter Steiner is not a well-known name in thriller writing, but he certainly deserves to be. The Terrorist is the third in his series featuring Louis Morgon, who was once a CIA operative in the Middle East but who now lives in the French countryside where all he wants to do is garden, paint and have dinners with his friends. But an old enemy with a grudge has other ideas. $23.99

Brian M. Wiprud was here signing copies of Buy Back which features Tom Davin , an insurance investigator who has arranged an art theft to cover the debt he owes to a ruthless loan shark. Tommy must navigate his troubles, and Brooklyn, with the help of tantric yoga, his father’s aphorisms, and a comely masseuse. $24.99



SIGNED FROM THE U.K.

We still have a few copies of May’s British Crime Club selection, The Whisperers by John Connolly. This latest thriller featuring private detective Charlie Parker will not be published in the U.S. until July. A British Crime Club Selection. $43.00

The Priest is a first novel by Gerard O’Donovan, a former journalist who sets his story in his hometown of Dublin. A killer is stalking the streets and branding his victims with the sign of the cross. When a foreign diplomat’s daughter is assaulted and left for dead, the case is given to Detective Inspector Michael Mulcahy, a tough cop, who finds in the Priest a nemesis more evil and elusive than any he has ever faced. A British Crime Club Selection. $50.00

We have sold out of the limited edition of The Holy Thief by William Ryan, a first novel set in Stalin’s Russia. But we have managed to get signed copies of the trade edition. A British Crime Club Selection. $33.00

The Prince of Mist is the latest from Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Although this story of murder and the paranormal was originally written for young adults, we think readers of all ages will enjoy the latest from the author of The Shadow of the Wind. $24.99
