Red Means Run
Mickey Dupree is one of the most successful criminal attorneys in upstate New York. The downside to this is that Mickey has a lot of enemies, one of whom drives a golf club through his heart. The cops have one suspect: Virgil Cain, whose recent exclamation that 'somebody ought to blow Mickey's head off' - after Mickey freed the wealthy, gun-obsessed lunatic accused of murdering his wife - has left him in hot water. Dim-witted detective Joe Brady throws Virgil in jail, no questions asked. So, realising that his unlucky streak is about to get a whole lot worse unless he finds who's really responsible, Virgil busts out of jail and begins his hunt, with only savvy detective Claire Marchand prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. As the evidence against him mounts, and he begins to upset some rather dubious people, Virgil is truly on the run in this witty, thrilling and blistering tale.

Sister Noon
'Words were invented so lies could be told' Mary Ellen Pleasant San Francisco in the 1890s is a town of contradictions, home to a respectable middle class, but with the Wild West lingering in the imagination, and even the behaviour, of some residents. Lizzie Hayes, a seemingly docile, middle-aged spinster, is praised for her volunteer work with the Ladies' Relief and Protection Society Home, or the Brown Ark. She doesn't know it, but she's waiting for the spark that will liberate her from convention. When the wealthy and well-connected but ill-reputed Mary Ellen Pleasant shows up at the Brown Ark with an orphan in tow, Lizzie is drawn to them both. It is the beautiful Mrs Pleasant, object of suspicion because of her mysterious past and rumoured voodoo practise, who holds the key to freeing Lizzie's rebellious nature. Based on real historical figures, San Francisco in the gilded age is brought vibrantly to life in Karen Joy Fowler's entertaining, evocative and sinister novel.

Crow's Landing
For roguish cynic Virgil Cain, a day of fishing on the Hudson River yields much more than he bargained for. Pulling up anchor, he drags in a mysterious steel cylinder - news which soon spreads around the local marina. When a crooked city cop then seizes both the cylinder and the boat, Virgil is left in a quandary. Deciding to pursue his boat, Virgil becomes embroiled with captivating single mother, Dusty, who knows far too much about the cocaine hidden inside the cylinder, and an old drug deal gone sour. Faced with a dealer who desperately needs his cylinder back, a murderous sidekick, and a wild card crazy Russian cowboy, Virgil and Dusty find themselves trapped in the middle and desperate for a way out.
Officers' Row 1904
Merriam Press Military History. This is a work of both historical fact and fiction, that captures an era of Army glory in San Diego at the turn of the 20th century. The Army's presence, at North Island and Fort Rosecrans, is little-known in the more dominant local naval history, yet crucial to the development of early Point Loma, San Diego and Coronado. The book also relives the tragic explosion, on July 21, 1905, of USS Bennington that took the lives of 65 men, another major piece of San Diego history that has been all but forgotten over time. It remains one of the most terrible peacetime military disasters. This is a smart-looking, quick read that brings to life many forgotten pieces of the past, while adding personalities and personal interaction based on written accounts of the time. Portions of the proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit families of fallen EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) personnel. 104 color/sepia photos, paintings, drawings, illustrations.
