WE NEED YOUR INPUT...
...was such a success last week, that I am going to ask for it again for two more titles we expect to receive from the U.K:
John Le Carre - Our Kind of Traitor
This latest from the master of espionage probably will not be British Crime Club Selection (the timing doesn’t quite work for us). However, we would like to make sure we order the more or less correct number.
Philip Kerr - Field Grey
The latest Bernie Gunther thriller probably will be a British Crime Club Selection. But please order anyway to give us some idea of numbers.
Please pre-order these two items. Thanks.
SIGNED COPIES NOW AVAILABLE
We sent our copies of The Glass Rainbow to James Lee Burke and he has signed them on the half-title page. I don’t believe he toured at all, so signed copies of the latest Dave Robicheaux mystery signed this way are not going to be plentiful. $25.99
Memory Wall is Anthony Doerr’s second collection of short stories and he’s receiving excellent reviews. The title story won the 2010 National Magazine Award for Fiction. $24.00
Layover in Dubai by Dan Fesperman features Sam Keller, who has been enlisted by his V.P. for Corporate Security and Investigation to spy on another employee while they’re traveling on company business. When his charge is murdered in Dubai, Sam is plunged into a lethal mix of mobsters, prostitutes, crooked cops, and corporate players. A Thriller/Espionage Club Selection. $25.95
So Cold the River by Michael Koryta is a good old-fashioned horror story set in the spa town of West Baden Springs. This gothic chiller is very hard to put down and Koryta who, up until now, has written P.I. novels, seems to have found a winning formula here. Hope he keeps going in this direction. $24.99
Blood Suckers is the first of several volumes containing the stories from The Vampire Archives, edited by Otto Penzler (who will sign your copy). Mass market paperback format. $7.99.
Daniel Silva was here signing copies of The Rembrandt Affair, the latest thriller featuring Gabriel Allon, art restorer and assassin. This is a Crime Collector’s Club Selection. $26.96
Think of a Number by John Verdon introduces Dave Gurney, who has just retired as the NYPD’s top homicide investigator. Gurney is brought into a massive serial-murder investigation when the police are unable to make any headway with a baffling killer who is fond of rhymes filled with threats and warnings. A First Mystery Club Selection. $22.00
SIGNED FROM THE U.K.
Dexter is Delicious by Jeff Lindsay is here! Thanks to you, I think we’re going to have enough copies. If you haven’t ordered your copy yet, we do have some extras. Lindsay, who was in England for a crime convention, signed them there. This the true first edition. $33.00
