Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Three beautiful women are murdered in an Irish pub in Syracuse. The cops think it's an open and shut case, pointing the finger at bar owner James John Smith. But when the police fail to find Smith or any trail to his past, the mother of one of the victims hires former karaoke star and stripper Bill Free Willy Tedesco to investigate. The deeper Tedesco digs, the more secrets of the dead and living surface, and the question of who pulled the trigger becomes more important than why.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. John Headston is a private detective who, early in his career, was very successful, running a 12-man operation called THE HEADSTONE DETECTIVE AGENCY, mainly because the guy who painted the name on the door added the e at the end without realizing it was wrong. As the book opens, however, Headston is now 50, and the agency is down to just him. In his past he had run-ins with not only the law, but with the New York State Agency who had licensed him. As a result he spent some time in jail, and had his license revoked. Now he has it back, and is trying to get started again. His first case is a missing persons case, a wealthy woman whose husband just seems to have vanished from his Wall Street stockbroker job. Headston finds the man, who is now living under very odd circumstances, but the missing persons case quickly turns to murder. Aided by a tattooed young lady who decides she should work for him, Headston decides to work on the murder case, while attempting to avoid running afoul of the law and having his licensed revoked again--and possibly for good, this time.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. A crime thriller, coming-of-age story and a family saga, The Price You Pay unravels in mid-1970s Jersey City, a crumbling town where violence and coercion reign. Young Mickey Wright is thrust into a world controlled by a powerful Teamster local associated with the Genovese crime syndicate. The man who puts him in jeopardy: his father, a free-wheeling policeman well-known to Jersey City's politicians and drug dealers. When a Black trucker is murdered, Mickey is forced to choose between loyalty to family and the Teamsters or to values he shares with Debbie Olsen, the love of his young life who is the daughter of a solidly middle-class family. Memorable appearances by Mickey's sister, who is broken by her father's foul will, and memories of their late mother haunt the story. The question of whether Mickey can stand tall, break free and live a worthy life of his choosing isn't answered until a final, shocking confrontation. The Price You Pay is rich with vivid details and the kind of propulsive yet compassion storytelling that defines Fusilli's career as one of today's most admired mystery writers. As in his novels Narrows Gate and The Mayor of Polk Street, he proves once again that he knows how danger can explode when the mob, police and politics are intertwined. As for Mickey and Debbie, there is a way out. Will they survive to take it? Critical Acclaim for The Price You Pay Jim Fusilli has done a lot of good writing in his time, but The Price You Pay is his best book. It's everything you want urban crime fiction to be: taut, seriously suspenseful, closely observed, wry, and very knowing about the way the real world works. I started off admiring the precision of the writing, and then found the pages flying. I was going to say George V. Higgins, the author of The Friends of Eddie Coyle, would have liked this novel. But then again, he might have just been pissed that he didn't write it himself. -Peter Blauner, author and screenwriter With The Price You Pay, Jim Fusilli gives us a tough and heartfelt coming of age crime story-gritty, suspenseful, involving. The characters pop and ache and burn. Mickey Wright is memorable. -Meg Gardiner, #1 New York Times bestselling author Critical Acclaim for Jim Fusilli: Superior. This courageous and original writer works against the grain of expectations, looking to make our experience not easy but illuminative and true. -Boston Globe Fusilli writes with poetic intensity. -Kirkus Reviews Fusilli's a master of his craft, each line brimming with his sense of urban life and nail-biting suspense. His prose is diamond-bright and conjures up a realm you cannot forget. -Providence Journal.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. BROKLYN JUSTICE is a wild ride through the streets of the Borough of Churches. Private investigator Nick Ventura knows trouble-but not how to keep his nose out of it. A pool of blood spreading across a casino poker table, a Buick plowing through a storefront with a dead detective aboard, a fatal rendezvous in the shadow of a Coney Island landmark, a childhood friend gunned down walking his dog in the wrong place at the wrong time, a film distributor who thinks he can get away with murder through intimidation and violence, a mob boss assassinated leaving a neighborhood restaurant, and the particular brand of retribution necessary to level the playing field in the fourth largest city in America-J.L. Abramo serves it all up with a vengeance. In BROKLYN JUSTICE, award winning author J.L. Abramo again demonstrates his firm grasp on the language and morality of his native streets, with as many surprises as there are casualties. An ideal follow-up to his acclaimed novel GRAVESEND. -The Denver Review If grit, hard guys, and the rhythm of the mean streets is your thing, BROKLYN JUSTICE has got them in spades and J.L. Abramo is your man. -Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times Bestselling author of WHERE IT HURTS J.L. Abramo writes noir the way God and Hammett intended-tough, terse, and smart. BROKLYN JUSTICE is a great read with razor-sharp prose and a compelling cast. Nick Ventura is my kind of PI. -Michael Koryta, New York Times Bestselling author of THOSE WHO WISH ME DEAD J. L. Abramo's 'Walking the Dog' weaves a seemingly loose collection of conversations, reflections, and memories into a suddenly tight narrative-no stray threads, no unnecessary details, nothing wasted. -Art Taylor, author of ON THE ROAD WITH DEL & LOUISE.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Eddie Clem was born in White Swan on the Yakama reservation in the 1950s and subsequently did what most Yakama boys did at that time--he learned to shoot hoops and rodeo, fell in love, grew into a man, had children, and then watched them repeat the same process. The way Eddie did this was unique to him, however, in several respects: - His mother dies when he is born; - His father disappears into the foothills of Mt. Adams as soon as his mother is buried; - He meets the love of his life in the fifth grade; - He accidentally kills his favorite cousin on his 11th birthday; - He turns out to be better than the other boys at both shooting hoops and rodeoing; - He comes of age just in time to spend a year as a medic in Vietnam; - The love of his life marries someone else. White Swan chronicles all of these things, but they are just the beginning of the story. How Eddie and all the people he loves eventually connect with each other unfolds in a tale that celebrates the power of love, family and a people who have been tied to each other for centuries in the space between a mountain and a river that bears their name in the heart of central Washington. Praise for WHITE SWAN: Lono Waiwaiole's writing in White Swan is graceful, spare, seasoned with gentle humor, never overwrought. Although I didn't grow up on an Indian reservation, play basketball, or compete in a rodeo, I found myself really caring about Eddie Clem and the people he loved yet couldn't love enough. --Kathleen Tyau, author of Makai and A Little Too Much Is Enough The characters in White Swan pull on your sleeve and insist you follow them through their lives. And you want to, because the minute you meet them they grab hold of your heart. Waiwaiole's deceptively plain writing hides depths of wisdom, like the calm surface of a mountain lake. Simply a beautiful book. --SJ Rozan, bestselling author of Paper Son Departing from his celebrated noir tales (The Wiley Series, Dark Paradise), Waiwaiole masterfully portrays a Native American family scarred by a father's abandonment, who find their ultimate redemption through rebirth, renewal and forgiveness. --Kiana Davenport, author of Shark Dialogues As Hemingway did with his Nick Adams stories, Lono Waiwaiole paints America's rural life--its indigenous people-- with intense respect and compassion. He gets it. You the reader are thrown into those sometimes beautiful, sometimes sad, but always true moments, that we call Life. And like Hemingway, too, Lono Waiwaiole has given us an American masterpiece in the bargain. --Kent Harrington, author of Last Ferry Home White Swan explores the push and pull of family and how people are fated to be together, even though it may take a lifetime before destiny is fulfilled. A beautiful intergenerational saga rooted in the White Swan community on the Yakama Indian Reservation nestled in the mountains of Central Washington. With his indigenous heritage and current home in the Pacific Northwest, noted noir writer Lono Waiwaiole succeeds in this creative work that falls outside of mystery genre. --Naomi Hirahara, Edgar Award-winning author of the Mas Arai series.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. In the early 2000s, a string of abductions rocked the small upstate town of Reine, New York. Only one girl survived: Alex Salerno. The killer, Ken Parsons, was sent away. Life returned to normal. No more girls would have to die. Until another one did. It's been seven years since Kira Shanks was reported missing and presumed dead. Alex Salerno has been living in New York City, piecemealing paychecks to earn a livable wage, trying to forget those three days locked underground and her affair with Sean Riley, the married detective who rescued her. When Noah Lee, hometown reporter with a journalistic pedigree, requests an interview, Alex returns to Reine and Riley, reopening old wounds. What begins as a Q&A for a newspaper article soon turns into an opportunity for money, closure and--justice. The disappearance of Kira Shanks has long been hung on Benny Brudzienski, a hulking man-child who is currently a brain-addled guest at the Galloway State Mental Hospital. But after Alex reconnects with ex-classmates and frenemies, doubts are cast on that guilt. Alex is drawn into a dangerous game of show and tell in an insular town where everyone has a secret to hide. And as more details emerge about the night Kira Shanks went missing, Alex discovers there are some willing to kill to protect the horrific truth. In the modern vein of Dark Places and Mystic River, The One That Got Away is a dark, psychological thriller featuring a compelling, conflicted heroine and a page-turning narrative that races toward its final, shocking conclusion. Praise for THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY: A great book I devoured it. Taut, pacey and with a powerful sense of place, Joe Clifford's The One Got Away is an intelligent and astutely observed piece of American small town noir. --Paula Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl on the Train and Into the Water Joe Clifford is a gifted storyteller with a knack for crafting characters who are entirely human. The One That Got Away is dark and unforgiving, a chilling crime novel with the perfect touch of tenderness that will keep readers turning the pages with haste. This is one book you won't be able to put down. --Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Girl and Every Last Lie The mystery of The One That Got Away sucked me in, but it was the emotional punch of Alex Salerno's return home that broke my heart. With its sharply observed characters and setting and crime-thriller pace, its tough exterior belies a vast, unexpected tenderness. I cannot not quit thinking about this book. --Emily Carpenter, author of Burying the Honeysuckle Girls and The Weight of Lies It's not often that I read a top-notch thriller with layers of emotion buried within each page. On the surface, Joe Clifford's story of a young woman who survived a kidnapping and returns to her hometown to investigate a seemingly similar disappearance is compulsively readable, but when you dig a little deeper, you discover there's so much more to unpack. The On That Got Away is by far Clifford's best and most fully realized novel to date, and might well be the most rewarding thriller I've read this year. --Jennifer Hillier, author of Jar of Hearts.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Right up until they put him in jail, McKenzie thought the cops were kidding. After all, he did them a favor by stopping a rookie cop from roughing up a distraught woman at a murder scene. But the next thing he knows, he's in jail, missing an important date with his girlfriend, and reliving nightmares he thought he had left far behind him--and vowing payback for all of it. If that means sticking his nose into an ongoing murder investigation, well, he's done it before. Only what appears to be a straightforward case of a cheating boyfriend, his alcoholic girlfriend, and an opportune baseball bat proves far more complicated than the police are willing to accept. More disconcerting, as he investigates, McKenzie finds himself fighting the influence of a shadowy figure who controls more of what goes on in the Twin Cities than a rational voter would believe. Then there are the unidentified thugs who kill a witness and rough up him and his female lawyer ally. Soon McKenzie realizes that the truth of this sordid crime may be as hard to find--and as hard to live with--as the justice he seeks. Praise for DEAD BOYFRIENDS: Former cop Rushmore McKenzie certainly won't run from a fight, but he also has a softer side: he is a firm believer in loyalty and love, and he is a sucker for the underdog. When he stops to help a woman he sees at the side of the road, he has no idea he'll be calling on all these character traits to unravel the truth about the woman, a grisly murder, a string of dead boyfriends, and a secret in her past. Housewright is terrific--funny, wry, and dead-on--which, along with some unexpected plot twists, gives this the sort of appeal that will have readers asking for the next book as well as ones that can fill in McKenzie's history. --Booklist Once again, St. Paul's Saint George scatters the dragons who menace a damsel in distress. --Kirkus Reviews David Housewright is one of my favorite mystery authors. I'd read a cereal box if he wrote it. I really like McKenzie's character and enjoy his determination and sense of loyalty. He's the guy in the white hat, seeking to preserve justice for all. And he's always willing to put himself in harm's way to accomplish his goals. No risk, no reward. Dead Boyfriends is a fun ride with twists enough to surprise everyone. Housewright's attention to the various Twin Cities locals is spot on and tremendous fun for those of us who live here. His characters are rich and complex, his plot intriguing and satisfying. --Armchair Reviews.…
