Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks.
Con Lehane, The Red Scare Murders
(Soho Crime)
“Lehane’s pacing and hardboiled dialogue are hard to beat, and he makes the jittery paranoia of the period jump off the page. Fans of James Ellroy will get a kick out of this.”
–Publishers Weekly
Rick Campbell, Vengeance
(St. Martin’s Press)
“”Campbell combines the best of Tom Clancy and Brad Thor.”
–Library Journal
Richard Harpootlian, Dig Me a Grave
(Citadel)
“The riveting inside story of how a South Carolina prosecutor sent a cold serial killer to the electric chair and the moral toll it took on him.”
–John Glatt
Tilar J. Mazzeo, The Sea Captain’s Wife
(St. Martin’s)
“A rip-roaring, seafaring adventure with a twist. Mazzeo has fashioned a captivating role-reversal tale [about how], for the first time ever, a woman became captain of a merchant ship—with the crew’s approval. A thoroughly entertaining, delightful story.”
–Kirkus
Valerie Wilson Wesley, The Mysterious Death of Junetta Plum
(Kensington)
“The characters and their setting come alive in this smart, appealing historical mystery for fans of Anna Lee Huber and Nekesa Afia.”
–Kirkus Reviews
