Excerpts

Never Ask Me

Jeff Abbott

"Iris Pollitt sits in her car, in her closed garage, hands on the wheel, thinking: Danielle is dead. Really dead."


“All Good Things Must Come to and End… Even War”

Adam Dunn

"We come to miss the familiar."


Of Mutts and Men

Spencer Quinn

"Hands up where we can see them is one of our best techniques."


Murder in Chianti

Camilla Trenchieri

"The sun wouldn’t show up for at least another hour, but Nico got out of bed, shrugged on a T-shirt, pulled on a pair of shorts and socks, and laced up his sneakers."


Breathing Through the Wound

Víctor del Árbol

"Strolling the deserted streets of Madrid at that hour of indecision—when everything is on the verge of happening but nothing yet has—redeemed the city, concealing its misery, creating a false sense of benevo­lence."


Open Secrets

Sheila Kohler

"When Alice closes the door on their bedroom that night, Michel goes to his study, throws his book on his desk, gathers up his papers, and paces up and down."


Lost River

J. Todd Scott

"A few hours before . . ."


The Dilemma

B.A. Paris

"The jeweler’s is part of the maze of pedestrianized streets, so I leave the bike in the usual car park and start the short walk there."


Love and Other Crimes

Sara Paretsky

The Mist

Ragnar Jónasson

"Darkness had fallen outside. Einar and Erla were sitting at the supper table with their guest."
