Kill Me Tender: A Murder Mystery Featuring the Singing Sleuth Elvis Presley
St Martins Pr. 07/01/2000. 227 pgs. Thriller writer Daniel Klein makes his mystery debut with this whodunit featuring none other than the King. When several Elvis Presley fan club presidents, all teenage girls, are found dead of unknown causes, Elvis considers it his personal duty to investigate the crimes himself. His path to truth takes him all across his beloved state of Tennessee to his high school reunion, a bar chock-full of Elvis impersonators, and, yes, even a jailhouse. Elvis also finds love with black nurse Selma du Pres. Their romance is intensified by the book's 1960s setting in the segregated South--and by the possibility that the killer's next target may be the King himself.

If Only
Bantam Dell Pub Group. 10/01/1999. 385 pgs. From a childhood spent in a dreary London suburb to the fulfillment of a young lifetime's dream of stardom, Geri Halliwell's autobiography IF ONLY is a classic rags-to-riches story with a dash of female empowerment thrown in. As a member of the 1990s phenomenon the Spice Girls, the teen band who preached "Girl Power" to their pubescent audience, Halliwell was realizing her childhood dreams; however, the reality didn't quite match her fantasy of a "cream colored castle with a moat and a drawbridge." Her story of the meteoric rise of the prefabricated group that eventually almost became a feminist movement is a fascinating inside look at the mundane details that went into constructing what was to briefly become one of the best-known pop acts in the world. Halliwell, at least, emerged from the teen hysteria relatively unscathed; her mixed reaction to the achievement of her ambitions, coupled with a bout with breast cancer, led to her eventual departure from the band to begin her own solo career, and to a role as a United Nations Population Fund goodwill ambassador.

$4.00 economy shipping in the U.S. (and only $2.00 for each additional book from this seller)! New York: Bantam Books, 2001. Book shows light shelf and edge wear. Pages are fairly tight. Light crease on front cover. Jane Austen is enjoying a summer visit to Derbyshire's craggy peaks, sparkling streams, and cavernous gorges. But there, amid scenes of unsurpassed beauty, she stumbles upon the ugliest slaughter she has ever seen. High in the rocks near the town of Bakewell lies the body of a young gentleman. With blond curls and delicate features, the victim has the face of an angel - yet Jane can see that he had been shot in the forehead and savagely mutilated." "But even more shocking is the revelation gleaned from the surgeon's examination: the deceased is in fact a woman - a maidservant clad in the garb of her master, Mr. Charles Danforth of Penfolds Hall. Tess Arnold had been in charge of the stillroom at Penfolds for many years and was known as an adept preserver of produce and compounder of home remedies - until, it seems, she was dismissed for a scandalous indiscretion." "Was Tess, Jane wonders, the gory prey of a madman loose in the hills Or was she, perchance, the cast-off impediment to a young nobleman's marriage Is there any merit to the claims of the ranting blacksmith, who speculates that Tess fell victim to a ritual execution - the dark side of the secret brotherhood of the Freemasons" "A fortuitous encounter with Lord Harold Trowbridge, Jane's Gentleman Rogue, affords her ample opportunity to study local gentry. She soon learns that the two Danforth brothers of Penfold Hall could not be more dissimilar: Andrew, jovial and ambitious, Charles, lame and taciturn, given to midnight rambles and haunted by the successive deaths of his wife and four children. The common folk whisper that he is cursed - or worse. Through it all, Jane's genius for observation, interrogation, and artifice places her routinely at risk - and just out of sight lurks a killer from whom little can protect her. GT. R94404-Random.

The boy is a German Jewish refugee, and the parrot, in contrast to its owner, is remarkably loquacious, quoting poetry, singing, and repeating a long list of numbers which appear to be of great interest to others, including British intelligence. When a fellow lodger at the boy's boarding house is murdered and the parrot goes missing, the old man takes it upon himself to locate the bird and learn the truth of the secrets it holds.

The Italian Secretary
Pub Group West. 04/30/2005. 263 pgs. Caleb Carr, bestselling author of THE ALIENIST, makes his own contribution to the ever-popular subgenre of Holmes pastiche with this historical mystery commissioned by the Conan Doyle estate. Renovation of the Royal Palace of Holyrood, Queen Victoria's Edinburgh residence, is disrupted when two of the workers are murdered. One of the Queen's closest counselors, Mycroft Holmes, summons his brother Sherlock to discover the perpetrator and determine whether the deaths represent any threat to the throne. Noting that details of the murders recall the long-ago brutal stabbing of David Rizzio, an Italian secretary who served Mary, Queen of Scots, Holmes wonders if the present-day deaths have a supernatural, rather than an earthly, cause.
