SIGNED COPIES NOW AVAILABLE
The Revisionists by Thomas Mullen is a literary thriller set in the not-too-distant future which features Zed, an agent from the far future whose job it is to insure that history is not changed (and there is a group from the future which would like to do just that) so that the world he comes from, the Perfect Present, is not endangered in any way. This absorbing novel challenges the reader at every turn as Zed tries to disrupt the Great Conflagration, an imminent disaster, by interfering with the lives of a CIA agent and a young Washington lawyer. A Thriller/Espionage Club Main Selection. $25.99
A Killer’s Essence is the latest grisly crime novel from Dave Zeltserman. Stan Green is a jaded New York detective who is assigned to one of the most shocking homicides of his career. There is one witness, but he’s a neurologically damaged recluse subject to hallucinations. When the murderer strikes again and again, Green’s best hope is this man and his ghoulish apparitions, but there is just a chance that this witness is not insane, but instead terrifyingly perceptive. $23.95

PAPERBACKS OF NOTE
Pegasus Books has reissued three of John Gardner’s James Bond novels:
Icebreaker, Licence Renewed, and For Special Services. $14.95 each
We have some copies of The Guardians by Canadian writer Andrew Pyper. Pyper (one of Sally’s favorite writers) steps into Stephen King territory here with the story of four men who grew up together and played on the local hockey team. Now, twenty-four years later, three of them return to their small hometown when one of their number commits suicide. Great stuff. $17.95
Who are the worst villains of all time? How many people did Agatha Christie kill with her pen? Who has really gotten away with murder? A Miscellany of Murder by The Monday Murder Club is a trivia lover’s delight as it poses and answers questions from History and Literature, to True Crime and Televison. $14.95
