"Travis McGee meets Baywatch in Ron Ely's "East Beach." Actually, that analogy shouldn't be taken negatively; the ex-Tarzan, in the second of his Jake Sands mysteries, turns in a fast-paced and enjoyable book." -- Bernard A. Drew

Carioca Fletch
by Gregory McDonald
Carioca Fletch Fletch’s trip to Brazil wasn’t exactly planned. But it’s Carnival time in Rio and he has plenty of money, thanks to a little arrangement made stateside. And it took him no time to hook up with the luscious Laura Soares. Fletch is beginning to relax, just a little. Carioca Fletch But between the American widow who seems to be following Fletch and the Brazilian widow who’s fingered Fletch as her long-dead husband, he suddenly doesn’t have much time to enjoy the present or even get a wink of sleep. Carioca Fletch A thirty-year-old unsolved murder, a more recent suicide, an inconvenient heart attack–somehow Fletch is connected to all of them and one of those connections might just shorten his own life. From Rio to Bahia and back again, at the height of Carnival, Fletch has to keep moving or get stopped cold.
Shaky Ground
by Steve Brewer
Low-rent Albuquerque P.I. Bubba Mabry has a knack for getting in over his head. From the case that gave him notoriety (he claims he was hired by Elvis - no, really), to his experiences on the Cruise, Albuquerque's unsavory strip peopled with pushers and prostitutes, to his fiery relationship with fiancee Felicia Quattlebaum, a tabloid reporter, Bubba is usually in a heck of a mess. The funny thing is, somehow he always manages to get out of it. This time, however, even Bubba may get more than he bargained for, between his imminent wedding and his first case in weeks. His task (between tux fittings and last-minute jitters) seems simple enough: locate a missing college professor. How shady a character could a research biologist be? Then Bubba discovers the professor's extramarital exploits. And someone takes a potshot at Bubba. Still, no worries. It's not really until Bubba meets Tony "the Tiger" Birbone that things get hairy. By then Bubba's wedding is only hours away, and mob contracts are the last thing on his mind.
Sunset Limited
by James Lee Burke
Detective Dave Robicheaux re-turns to center stage in an incendiary new novel by James Lee Burke.A gripping tale of racial violence, class warfare, and the sometimes cruel legacy of Southern history, Sunset Limited is a stunning achievement, confirming Burkes place as one of Americas premier stylists as well as master storytellers. "Not since Raymond Chandler has anyone so thoroughly reinvented the crime and mystery genre," said novelist Jim Harrison, and in Sunset Limited Burke continues to carve out new territory.As always in the fiction of James Lee Burke, the past impinges on the present: The forty-year-old crucifixion of a prominent labor leader named Jack Flynn remains an unsolved atrocity that has never been forgotten in New Iberia, Louisiana. When Flynns daughter, Megan, a photojournalist drawn to controversial subjects, returns to the site of her fathers murder, it quickly becomes clear that her familys bloodstained past will not stay buried.Megan gives her old friend Dave Robicheaux a tip about a small-time criminal named Cool Breeze Broussard, scarcely suspecting that the seemingly innocuous case will lead Robicheaux and his partner, Helen Soileau, into the midst of a deadly conspiracy. As New Orleans mobsters and mysterious hit men converge on his parish, Robicheaux soon finds that all the clues point back in time to the tortured death of Jack Flynn.Combining brilliant prose, crackling suspense, and an exquisite sense of character and place, Sunset Limited is a wrenching tale of historic violence and soiled redemption that reveals one of America's finest novelists at his masterful best.
Sacred
by Dennis Lehane
A dying billionaire hires private detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro to find his missing daughter, after the first investigator on the case has disappeared. They are about to enter a world of corruption where nothing is what it seems, and the two people they seek could be saints or sinners, victims or victimizers, alive or dead. From the gutsy streets of Boston to the rum-punch sunsets of the Florida Gulf Coast, the more Patrick and Angie learn, the better they understand: every step could be their last.
Deadline for Murder
by Val McDermid
A colleague and ex-lover is dead. Murdered. A colleague and friend has been tried, convicted, and imprisoned for this murder. An estranged lover is romantically enmeshed with the lover of the convicted murderer. These are the not-so-pleasant surprises awaiting Lindsay Gordon on her return from her self-imposed exile following the messy aftermath of her last investigation. Lindsay's "finely honed sense of justice" demands she investigate the murder and clear her friend's name. Her efforts are muddied by the fact that Alison Maxwell, the murdered woman, inspired violence in a long list of credible suspects. As Lindsay plunges deeper and deeper into the tangled web of lies, secrets, and intrigue surrounding the victim's colorful and unethical life, she uncovers blackmail, prostitution, betrayal of trust, the theft of classified Scottish Office papers - and a shocking resolution! Lindsay Gordon - loyal friend, dedicated journalist, reluctant sleuth, strong woman with keen intelligence, indefatigable energy, generous nature - is at it again!
