After Effects
by Catherine Aird
When Mrs. Galloway, who suffers from heart disease, finally passes away it comes as no shock to the staff at Berebury Hospital. Abel Granger's family had also been long prepared for his death that same morning. So why then has Mrs. Galloway's son called in Detective Inspector Sloan to investigate, and why is Abel Granger's doctor so uncomfortable? The only thing that seems to link the two patients is the Cardigan Protocol, a drug trial being carried out for Gilroy's, a pharmaceutical company. This, along with the unexplained disappearance of the doctor in charge of the drug trials and the surprising break-in of the Gilroy's headquarters by a group of animal rights activists, leads D. I. Sloan to suspect that something much more sinister than coincidence is afoot.
A Test of Wills
by Charles Todd
In 1914, Ian Rutledge left a brilliant career at Scotland Yard to fight in the Great War. Now, in 1919, he is back, burdened with a heavy secret: he is still suffering from shell shock. With him almost constantly is the cynical, taunting voice of the young Scots soldier he was forced to have executed on the battlefield for refusing to fight. In a desperate gamble to salvage his sanity, Rutledge takes up his duties at Scotland Yard. But a colleague, jealous of Rutledge's prewar successes, has learned his secret and maneuvers to have him assigned to a case that promises to spell disaster no matter what the outcome. In a Warwickshire village, a popular retired military officer has been murdered, and the chief suspect is, unhappily for the Inspector, a much-decorated war hero and a friend of the Prince of Wales. Rutledge, fighting his malady and the tormentor in his head (who is the personification of his own doubts and guilt), doggedly goes about his investigation. He digs into the lives of the villagers: the victim's ward, a young woman now engaged to the chief suspect; a local artist shunned because of her love for a German prisoner; the reclusive cousins whose cottage adjoins the dead man's estate. But the witness who might be able to tell him the most is a war-ravaged ex-soldier who chills Rutledge with the realization that if he loses control of himself, he could become this man.
A Queer Kind of Love
by George Baxt
Gay, black and proud--and like no other homocide detective in the history of the NYPD--Pharoah Love finds himself in the middle of a most baffling case. Someone with a serious grudge is knocking off mobsters in unusual ways. In pursuit of clues, Love investigation takes him from a luxurious brothel to a Russian nightclub with a temperamental diva.
Murder on Theatre Row
by Michael Jahn
The famous lights of New York's Great White Way shine especially bright on Sir John Victor Holland, the controversial producer of mega-musicals whose latest Broadway extravaganza, Casablanca: The Musical, will soon have its splashy, star-filled opening night. The show is rehearsing in the historic Old Knickerbocker Theater. Only one problem: someone is trying to kill the show, or Sir John, or both. Suspects include a drunken critic, a theatrical agent, a fiery actress, a mob-connected construction man, a jazz pianist, a curious biographer, and maybe even the ghost of Milos the Magnificent. Captain Bill Donovan, chief of special investigations for the City of New York, finds himself drawn into a murderous tangle of high- and low-lifes that culminates in a wild shootout in Times Square as the glittering electronic ball falls to ring in the New Year.
An Accidental Shroud
by Marjorie Eccles
When local antique jeweler Nigel Fontenoy's body is found at his cousin's building site, D.C.I. Gil Mayo and D.I. Abigail Moon think they have a simple case on their hands. Both detectives suspect that this murder was a family matter and that they needn't search far down the family tree. After all, Fontenoy's cousin, Jake Wilding, was heavily in debt to the dead man, and his inability to offer even a vaguely plausible account of his whereabouts on the night of the murder casts Wilding in a dubious shadow. And things look even blacker for Wilding when traces of Fontenoy's blood are found on one of his trucks. But the puzzle becomes more intricate when Wilding finally names his alibi--an ex-wife--and claims that Fontenoy had been pressuring him to secure something from her of great value to the jeweler. Is it a piece of jewelry, a document, or something even more precious?
