Media Reviews
"[A] novel that is remarkable for its originality and pathos....The brilliance of 'Vanished' derives from Morris's decision to tell much of the story from Aubrey Wallace's point of view....We see the grim and gruesome events-barely understood, without reference to cause or consequence-as Aubrey sees them." -- Margaret Bradham

The Puzzled Heart
by Carolyn G. Heilbrun
"Eminently readable and satisfying," said P. D. James about Amanda Crosss acclaimed New York mysteries featuring English professor Kate Fansler. Those accolades apply equally to The Puzzled Heart, in which Kate Fansler's husband Reed is kidnapped--and will be killed unless Kate obeys the carefully delineated directives of a ransom note.Tormented by her own puzzled heart, Kate seeks solace and wise counsel from both old friends and new. But who precisely is the enemy? Is he or she a vengeful colleague? A hostile student? A terrorist sect? The questions mount as Kate searches for Reed--accompanied by her trusty new companion, a Saint Bernard puppy named Bancroft.Hovering near Kate and Bancroft, almost within touch, are rampant cruelties and calculated menace. The madness of our time is on the move. And the moment is ripe for murder. . . .The elegant crime novels of Amanda Cross have thrilled a generation of readers. The Puzzled Heart reconfirms her standing as the reigning master of the literary mystery.
Buddha's Money
by Martin Limon
The New York Times Book Review hailed the return of George Sueo and his partner, Ernie Bascom, in Martin Limns electrifying thriller Slicky Boys, proclaiming, "Its great to have these two mavericks back!" Now the pair of investigators for the U.S. Armys Criminal Investigation Division (CID) is once again walking the wild side of Seoul. In their most explosive case yet, the soldier-cops pursue the key to an ancient source of power and untold wealth--a dangerous odyssey into an exotic shadow world of sensuality, treachery, and evil.Sueo and Bascom work the neon alleys of Itaewon--Seouls supermarket of cheap thrills, where brightly painted girls promise a little piece of paradise in exchange for a few pieces of silver. But in Itaewon, the path to paradise can take some wicked turns....Herman "the German" Burkowicz retired from the U.S. Army for a more lucrative career smuggling Korean artifacts. But the price of one such rarity may be paid by his kidnapped nine-year-old foster daughter, Mi-ja. Sueo and Bascom advise him to pay the ransom: a priceless skull carved out of jade. The problem is, Herman doesnt have the skull...and Mi-jas abductors are in no mood to wait. Theyve already sent a grisly sign of their growing impatience. Working feverishly in a race against time, the two CID investigators discover that the coveted skull is much more than a hunk of jade: Its a long-lost relic of Genghis Khan. But more crucially, its the key to the destiny of the entire Pacific Rim, from Beijing to Bangkok. The search for the skull takes Sueo and Bascom from the seductive lair of Lady Ahn--heir, she claims, to the Dragon Throne of China and therefore the rightful owner of the jade skull--to the sinister inner sanctum of the Buddhist cult of Mahakala, Lord of the Demons. The labyrinth of intrigue and deception leads back to Itaewon and to a crime committed by an American soldier against a Buddhist nun--a crime that now threatens to ignite a conflagration of rage across the Korean peninsula. Monsoon season has arrived in Seoul, and for Sueo and Bascom, the storm is about to explode.Gritty, intense, and compelling, Buddha's Money is a shattering thriller, leading readers on a trail of lies and double-crossings as dark and twisting as an Itaewon back alley.
Where Serpents Lie
by T. Jefferson Parker
Terry Naughton, head of Orange County's Crimes Against Youth unit, is the champion of children. He's come up against his share of heinous criminals in his years on the force - but nothing has prepared him for the Horridus. Abducting children from their beds, dressing them like little angels, and releasing them the next day, the only clue he leaves is a piece of snakeskin tucked into the folds of their gowns. So far he hasn't physically harmed any of them, but as Naughton well knows, it's only a matter of time. As he races to find the madman before his crimes escalate, Naughton learns that the Horridus may not be the only enemy. When shocking (and seemingly irrefutable) accusations put his career on the line, he is forced to confront his dark and violent past in his search for the truth.
