Edge is a stand alone from Jeffery Deaver. Behind the well-known U.S. security organizations such as the CIA and FBI is another anonymous government agency dedicated to intelligence surveillance and citizen protection. Shock waves ripple through this agency when a D.C. detective Ryan Kessler becomes the target of a man hired to obtain information by any means necessary up to, and including, the kidnapping of the target’s family. $26.99

Young Sherlock Holmes: Red Leech by Andrew Lane is the second in the series. This adventure begins in Surrey but young Sherlock will soon find himself in America. This is limited to 500 signed and numbered editions. $33.00
Kate Morton is less well known here than she is in her native Australia or in the UK. Her novels, The House at Riverton and The Forgotten Garden were best sellers in England. Now we have signed UK firsts of her latest, The Distant Hours, a sprawling novel which begins with a lost letter that reaches its destination fifty years after it was sent. The daughter of the addressee sets out to solve the riddle of her mother’s past and finds herself at Middlehurst Castle. The truth about what happened there in 1941 has been waiting a long time for someone to find it. $43.00
