As Husbands Go is the latest from Susan Isaacs. Susie B. Anthony Rabinowitz Gersten assumed her marriage to plastic surgeon Jonah was a happy one, until he’s found dead in the Upper East Side apartment of a second-rate "escort."

Camilla Lackberg is being called the new Swedish sensation (a reference to the success of Stieg Larsson’s books) and The Ice Princess is her American debut. When Erika Falck returns to her hometown , she discovers that her childhood friend is dead. Erica wants to write a book about their friendship, but detective Patrik Headstrom is following his own suspicions about the case. Despite ordering many copies, we are rapidly running out since customers couldn’t wait for the book to be signed, so get in touch soon. $25.95
James Mauro was here earlier this week and signed more copies of Twilight at the End of the World, his account of the 1939 New York World’s Fair, the dream built atop the notorious garbage dump in Corona, Queens. That world’s fair was plagued with bad weather, power failures, and bomb plots. $28.00
Dark Harbor: The War for the New York Waterfront, by Nathan Ward, tells the story of the Mafia-controlled waterfront which has been portrayed in the movies with, apparently, little exaggeration. Ward manages to portray an age which was, at once, more corrupt and more innocent than our own. $26.00.
SIGNED FROM THE U.K.
Bryant & May off the Rails by Christopher Fowler is the eighth mystery featuring the investigators from the Peculiar Crimes Unit. This time out they are on the trail of a young man named Mr. Fox who has escaped from a locked room and murdered one of their own. That trail leads them deep into the subterranean world of the London Underground where they will uncover a mystery as bizarre as anything they have ever encountered. $43.00
We have been able to get a few copies of the U.K. edition of The Thousand Autumns of Jacob De Zoet by David Mitchell. Mitchell will be in town to sign the U.S. edition next week, but the U.K. is the true first edition. For those of you who have not read Mitchell, his work is extraordinary, and look for this title to be on the Man Booker Prize Short List. $48.00
