SIGNED COPIES NOW AVAILABLE
Lauren Belfer stopped by to sign A Fierce Radiance, her second novel. Claire Shipley is a reporter for Life Magazine who, during the early days of WWII, finds herself on top of one of the nation’s most important stories. In the labs of New York City’s Rockefeller Institute, some of the country’s best doctors and researchers are racing to find a cure that will save the lives of thousands of wounded American soldiers - a miraculous new drug called Penicillin. A Soft Boiled Club Selection. $25.99
We are already sold out of Spies of the Balkans (except for those we have put aside for members of the Thriller/Espionage Club) but Alan Furst is going to come back to the store and sign more copies. If you have not ordered yet, let us know and we’ll send you a signed copy when it becomes available. A Thriller/Espionage Club Selection. $26.00
The Case of the Man Who Died Laughing by Tarquin Hall is the second story from the files of Vish Puri, Most Private Investigator. A prominent Indian scientist dies in a fit of giggles when a Hindu goddess appears out of the mist and plunges a sword in his chest. Vish Puri, master of disguise and lover of all things fried and spicy, doesn’t believe the murder is a supernatural occurrence. The author is going to stop by the store today and sign his book, and I’m hoping my assumption that he will be here does not act as a jinx. $24.00
