To save her career, Scarpetta soon finds herself retracing Waddell's bloodyfootprints, following a trail that might lead to long-hidden secrets deepwithin the state government.

Death Pays the Rose Rent
by Valerie S. Malmont
Lickin Creek, Pennsylvania, is light-years from New York City, where Tori Miracle earned her first fifteen minutes of fame as a novelist. Now Tori and her two cats have come to Lickin Creek to visit her friend Alice-Ann--and to attend the towns annual Rose Rent festival honoring Alice-Anns obnoxious husband, Richard. Generations earlier, Richards ancestor, worried about the state of his soul, allowed churches to build on his land in exchange for one red rose as rent. Now the town has made it an annual celebration. But Alice-Ann is celebrating something else: Shes about to divorce Richard--until Richard turns up dead, his body adorned by a single red rose. Now Tori is being pulled into a homicide investigation spearheaded by an unnervingly handsome cop, crowded with aristocrats, wanna-bes, and some ghostly presences of the past. In fact, all of Lickin Creek, from its historic castle to its labyrinth of Civil War-era tunnels, is haunted by secrets, including the one that wont stay dead and buried--and hasn't stopped killing yet. . . .

All Japan Kara.te Championships Nippon Budokon Hall Tokyo, Japan August 1976 What is your name?" The man asking the question was Dr. Kenwa Itosu. He was a tiny man, not more than five feet in height and only llO lbs. in weight. His face, however, was fierce, his eyes piercing and his thin lips locked in a perpetual frown. "Your name?" the doctor repeated, squatting directly in front of the fallen competitor. Josef Tanaka smelled the broiled hanuzchi on the small man's breath, noted the sweat on his forehead, and wondered for a moment how the diminutive doctor was managing to look him directly in the eye. "Tanaka ... Josef Tanaka," he answered. "Are you able to stand up?" Itosu persisted, his stockinged feet leaving moist circular marks on the hard canvas floor. "Yes," Tanaka replied. Anything to escape the stink offish coming from your mouth. He pushed with his hands, then willed his quadriceps to complete the task of raising his six-foot-twoinch body to a vertical position. Now the doctor's head came level with Tanaka's sternum. "Do you know where you are?" Tanaka breathed in, attempting to focus on a row of dollsized faces which stared from the lowest of the circular tiers of stadium seats. Is that my father? Yes, that's him. sitting next to Toshiro Mifune, the film actor. "Budokan Hall," he answered. "Can you continue?" the doctor pressed, feeling the unnatural silence of ten thousand Spectators. There was still a humming in Josef s head, like the metallic whine of a dentist's drill. Sweat mixed with blood trickled from his nose and ran in rivulets on to the white cotton of the loose jacket of his gi. He should have said no. "Yes, I can continue." Kenwa Itosu smiled with relief. Then he nodded to the referee who, in turn, nodded to the four corner judges. ISBN 0-812-53019-5. ISBN: 0812530195. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket as Issued. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
