He hasn’t arrived at the store yet, but Michael Connelly is so reliable, we feel confident in telling you that we are about to have signed copies of The Fifth Witness - featuring Mickey Haller. It will, of course, be a Crime Collectors Club Main Selection. $27.99

Philip Kerr signed copies of the U.S. edition of Field Grey, the latest Bernie Gunther thriller. Spanning twenty-five years, Field Grey begins with the street riots in Berlin in 1931 and follows Bernie’s career into the Cold War. Considered by some readers to be the best of the series so far. $26.95
Drawing Conclusions by Donna Leon is her twentieth book to feature Commissario Guido Brunetti. This is the U.S. edition which is the true first. We will be getting some signed U.K. editions later in the month. $24.00
Emily, Alone is not a mystery but it is by one of our favorite authors, Stewart O’Nan.. This story of an older woman as a familiar but invisible figure, one rarely portrayed honestly, is a graceful look at late life - its joys, regrets and sorrows - told by a master storyteller. I’m sold. $25.95
A Lesson in Secrets by Jacqueline Winspear has, at last, arrived. Sorry about the delays we experienced receiving the latest Maisie Dobbs novel, but the wait is worthwhile. If you have already ordered this title, we do have a note of it. $25.99
SIGNED FROM THE U.K.
The latest Flavia de Luce novel, A Red Herring without Mustard, is here. The true first of this title is the U.S. but unfortunately, Alan Bradley did not tour this country for this edition. He lives in Malta, so he went to the U.K. instead. Well, wouldn’t you? In any case, we have the U.K edition for those of you who are collecting this wonderful series and would like a signed copy. $35.00

An Agent of Deceit is a first novel by Chris Morgan Jones introducing Ben Webster who is employed by a private London intelligence agency. When a client asks him to expose the dealings of shadowy Russian oligarch Konstantin Malin, Webster finds himself fixated not only on Malin but also on his front man, Richard Lock who is hard put to explain how he came to be one of Russia’s largest investors. $43.00
Sanctus by first-time author Simon Toyne is a must for conspiracy buffs. This apocalyptic thriller begins when a man throws himself from the oldest inhabited place on earth, a mountainous citadel in the historic Turkish city of Ruin. This is no ordinary suicide but a symbolic act witnessed, thanks to the media, by the entire world. $38.00
