SIGNED COPIES NOW AVAILABLE
Bloodland by Alan Glynn is a paperback original, winner of the Ireland AM Crime Fiction Award, which has been getting these kind of reviews: "...I’ve not read such a multilayered, expertly plotted portrayal of arrogance, greed, and hubris in a long time. (There are) echoes of John le Carre, 24, and James Ellroy here, but Glynn’s talent is all his own, and his ability to ratchet up the tension is eye-popping." - The Guardian (London) $16.00
Hard Target by Howard Gordon, executive producer of 24 and co-creator of Homeland, once again features Gideon Davis who is about to get married when he discovers evidence of an impending terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Both Gideon and his ex-girlfriend, FBI agent Nancy Clement, are convinced that a serious plot exists but her bosses are not because the informant is less than reliable. $25.99
Gods Without Men by Hari Kunzru begins with the disappearance of a couple’s young son during a vacation in the Mojave desert, but this extraordinary novel is more than a crime novel as it uses diverse cultures to speculate on the nature of reality. Starred review in Publisher’s Weekly and praise from fellow authors such as Annie Proulx and David Mitchell. An
Unclassifiable Crime Club Main Selection. $26.95
Please note
The Expats by Chris Pavone is sold out. We have enough copies for the Crime Club (it is a First Mystery main selection) and those of you who have pre-ordered.

A Sentimental Traitor is the new thriller from Michael Dobbs. When a missile tears a passenger plane from the skies over London, everyone on board is killed, including thirty-seven exceptional children. Who would have killed them? And why? Harry Jones starts searching for answers and stumbles into the middle of a plot that stretches from Russia to the Islamic revolution in Egypt. Yet every lead he pursues leads to the secret corners of Brussels and a British woman named Patricia Vane. Dobbs has been writing thrillers for years and is also the author of the Parliamentary Novels, televised in the U.K., including House of Cards and To Play the King. $45.00
