And then the killings stopped. 
  Now ten years have passed, and Claire remains traumatised by her brush with death. Though she has a loving and supportive family around her, what happened that night continues to haunt her still. 
  Just when things are starting to improve, there is a power cut; a house fire; another victim found killed in the same way as before. 
  The Black-Out Killer is back. And he’s coming for Claire…

  From Anthony Pellicano—"Hollywood Fixer"—comes his first work of not-so-fictional fiction.
  The world's most infamous and sought-after private investigator got his start on the streets of South Chicago in the 1960s. After decades as a private eye to dozens of celebrity clients—and a 17-year prison stint to protect their confidences—Anthony Pellicano returns to the spotlight, this time with his first novel, The Neighborhood.
  
  This is the story of best friends— brothers really—Paulie and Vincent, who grew up without fathers on Chicago's southside. Paulie learns how to be a man from TV cop shows, while Vincent's role models are the wise guys on street corners. Paulie joins the FBI with hopes to escape his past, while Vincent becomes a private investigator who works for the "family" business. When the two men reconcile, they are torn between devotion to each other and loyalty to their respective organizations. Despite a blood oath that Paulie and Vincent made to their friendship, someone may have to die for it.
  
  A gritty glimpse into Chicago's criminal underworld, this novel pulsates with more authenticity than any gangster true crime. If you want to know how things were done—and are still done—on the streets of Chicago, The Neighborhood is the book to read.

  Postcards From Stella Maris -...

  For Fans of the Liz Talbot Mystery Series… Postcards From Stella Maris  is a collection of five short stories for fans of the series who might be interested, for example, in Colleen's backstory. I wrote the short story “Common Knowledge” for myself years ago, as a way to explore what happened to Colleen. As you might imagine, it's not as light as the series in general. This story has never been published anywhere before. “Eviction” is the story of how Liz first met Rhett, her golden retriever, back when she was married to Scott the Scoundrel. This story is also not lighthearted, and it likewise has never been published before. “Hogwash” originally appeared in Spinetingler Magazine. This is a fun little case which introduces the character of Zeke Lyerly, who appears in Lowcountry Bonfire. “Highlights and Hot Lead” originally appeared in The Petigru Review. This is a Stella Maris slice of life story featuring Shannelle Johnson, a local judge's wife, and it takes place entirely at Phoebe's Day Spa. “Everything is Relative” is a peek inside a Talbot family Thanksgiving. A few of Mamma's recipes are included at the end. If by chance you’ve stumbled on this collection of stories, but you’ve never read a Liz Talbot mystery, I would encourage you to start with   Lowcountry Boil (A Liz Talbot Mystery, Book 1)   and come back to these stories later. I so hope you enjoy these glimpses into Liz Talbot’s formative years, her unfortunate first marriage, and her life between major cases. Warmly, Susan M. Boyer

  In a "splendid mystery with . . . a lovely twist," the Yorkshire detectives dig up a bad seed in a horticulturalist's rosy life (Publishers Weekly). 
   
   
    
  Reginald Hill "raised the classical British mystery to new heights" when he introduced pugnacious Yorkshire Det. Inspector Andrew Dalziel and his partner, the callow Sgt. Peter Pascoe (the New York Times Book Review). Their chafing differences in education, manners, technique, and temperament made them "the most remarkable duo in the annals of crime fiction" (Toronto Star). The Gold Dagger Award–winning series was adapted into a long-running hit show for the BBC. 
   
   
    
  What's the secret of Patrick Aldermann's success? Well, he was bequeathed his aunt's gardened estate after her sudden death; his wife's wealthy father died leaving the couple a hefty inheritance; and several fatal mishaps among colleagues have allowed the milquetoast to rise in his company with alarming speed. His boss fears he's hired a serial killer—a suspicion that's compelled the CID's Andrew Dalziel and Peter Pascoe to investigate. Is it possible the mild-mannered accountant, whose only real side passion seems to be roses, has a thorny edge? If yes, then who's the next deadhead to be pruned from Aldermann's perfect life?
