FroM the Publisher

Dear bookseller, im writing this just a few days shy of the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. my bookstore is less than a mile north of where the World Trade Towers stood, and, like many people in the country, my partners and i were frantic to think of something helpful to do. What we certainly were not going to do was open the bookstore. after all, who would possibly want to read murder mysteries at a terrible time like this? our customers, thats who. To our astonishment, customers knocked and knocked, and when we finally opened the door, they flooded in. They werent buying thrillers or serial-killer yarns, but all of that awful september we did land-office business in cozies; we couldnt keep a little english village in stock. and what we realized was that for our customers, books were and are the drug of choice. i dont know why this should have surprised us: The same is true of my partners and myself. When the world is too much with us, books offer a refuge that nothing else provides. This has been a rough year for me, and books ok, along with good friends, my cat, and haagen-Dazs caramel cone ice cream have saved my butt. as booksellers, we may not be curing cancer, and we may not make a lot of dough. but what we do is a lot more important than we let ourselves believe. see you in the stacks,

hide My eyes
albert caMPion #16 by Margery allinghaM returning to the darker themes that made Tiger in the Smoke such a success, allingham introduces a serial killer who is haunting Londons Theatreland. The sparring between sergeant luke (who thinks hes got the case sewn up) and albert campion (who wonders what might have been seen by the old couple on the bus) is as sparkling as ever, but canny readers will note that miss allingham was shifting toward the psychological themes that put her in the company of ruth rendell and patricia highsmith, both of whom would soon begin to follow her lead. A charming novel, with admirably colorful London backgrounds and fine narrative tension New York Times Miss Allinghamkeeps three plot elements skipping about them nimbly and with a good deal of humor New York Herald Tribune

a Karl alberg Mystery by l.r. wright its midsummer in british columbia, and its murderously hot. for the vacationing karl alberg, that becomes more than a metaphor when he discovers a body on the beach, fresh from a fatal plunge into the icy, all-too-appealing waves. back home in the town of sechelt, where alberg is the chief of police, its clear that the heat is bringing out the crazies, most recently in the form of a tribe of violent rednecks who are loony enough to make alberg yearn a little for his days as a big-city cop.

The golden sprig of a rich and aristocratic family, Timothy is about to marry the girl of his dreams. but when rumors start to circulate about his parentage, the young ladys father puts the kibosh on the wedding, and shortly thereafter, Timothy becomes the chief suspect first in a housebreaking and then in a suspicious death. mr. campion is happy to look into the problem, but then it gets a good deal worse: somebody, it seems, is willing to go to some very ugly lengths to keep Timothy from finding the answers he needs.

Dalziel & Pascoe #9 by reginalD hill There shouldnt be anything unusual about the death of an elderly widow, until a man appears at her graveside, claiming to be her long-lost son. hes entitled to shed all the tears he likes, but whether hes entitled to her substantial fortune is another question. Its a poser, but one fat andy can grapple with much more easily than he can deal with the decision on the part of the resolutely boring sgt. Wield to come busting out of the closet. A wittily literate, socially alert puzzle in which each piece clicks home for the final eye-opening picture Sunday Times of London The real joy of the Dalziel-Pascoe books is in the writing and the characterizations. mr. hill has such disparate writers as Trollope, beerbohm, sayers and Shaw in his blood.

First u.s. eDition Dangerous Davies: the last Detective
Dangerous DaVies #1 by leslie thoMas

abouT The book

Dangerous Davies, you understand, earned his nickname in the same way that fat men nicknamed Tiny earn theirs. But while he may not inspire dread dread in the hearts of londons bad guys, he is nevertheless ondons on the side of right and good, and has the coppers badge to prove it. True, he does not tend to be his superiors first choice when it comes to detecting crime: He is known as the last detective not because there are no others like him, but because he is, in nearly every instance, the last boy picked for the team (although his dog does like him). With little actual work to do, Dange has plenty of time to pick through the cases that everybody else has forgotten. and when he stumbles across a real piece of ancient history, it looks like the perfect way to keep him out of trouble, and out of the real coppers way. Initially published in 1976, Dangerous Davies was made into a film in the early 80s and then, some 20 years later, into a much-loved series for british ritish television.

abouT The book

Its the most exciting concert Cremona has seen in years: The headliner is a brilliant young russian playing a violin once owned by the 19th-century master nicolo paganini. but the triumphal performance is immediately ut overshadowed by the murder of one of its sponsors. Solving the murder will require a journey into musical history, and to make that journey, cremonas police-chief will once more require the assistance of Gianni Castiglione, an elderly charmer and only mildly larcenous expert in violins.

the u.s. Debut oF this stunningly well reVieweD author naming the bones
by louise welsh

abouT The book

professor murray Watson is rather a sad sack. his family, his career, his affair with a colleagues wifeeven drinking no longer offers much joy. It would be nice to say that his passions have been channeled into scholarship, but the truth is, his research is increasingly feeling like a chore, and a pointless one at that. archie lunan, the poet who drowned these 30 years ago off a remote stretch of Scottish coast? Murrays meant to be writing his biography, with the expectation that burnishing lunans reputation will redeem his own. but the more murray learns about lunan, the more he looks like just another drunk with a knack for a nice phrase. and that tragic death? some tedious sense of honor compels murray to go poking around northern scotland, just to finish up the sodding research. but really, was it such a tragedy after all?

inTernaTional praise for NAmiNg THE BoNES

Welsh sets the story up brilliantly, using the devices of detective fiction to sink her Dr Watson in an ever-deepening morass of secrets, lies, sex and death. Naming the Bones fulfills the huge promise of Welshs earlier work, combining a whip-cracking plot with a literary touch that lifts her way above her genre colleagues Sunday Times of London Welsh is adept at keeping you reading to the end Daily mail (uk) A layered work which can be read on several levels Naming the Bones deserves more than one reading The Harold (uk) A hugely enjoyable literary thriller Financial Times (uk)
