The Murder Book
by Jonathan Kellerman
In seventeen consecutive bestselling novels, Jonathan Kellerman has distinguished himself as the master of the psychological thriller. Now in Kellerman’s most compelling and powerful novel yet, L.A. psychologist-detective Alex Delaware confronts a long-unsolved murder of unspeakable brutality—an ice-cold case whose resolution threatens his survival, and that of longtime friend, homicide detective, Milo Sturgis. The nightmare begins when Alex receives a strange package in the mail with no return address. Inside is an ornate album filled with gruesome crime scene photos—a homicide scrapbook entitled The Murder Book . Alex can find no reason for anyone to send him this compendium of death, but when Milo views the book, he is immediately shaken by one of the images: a young woman, tortured, strangled, and dumped near a freeway ramp. This was one of Milo’s first cases as a rookie homicide cop: a vicious killing that he failed to solve, because just as he and his training partner began to make headway, the department closed them down. Being forced to abandon the young victim tormented Milo. But his fears prevented him from pursuing the truth, and over the years he managed to forget. Or so he thought. Now, two decades later, someone has chosen to stir up the past. As Alex and Milo set out to uncover what really happened twenty years ago, their every move is followed and their lives are placed in jeopardy. The relentless investigation reaches deep into L.A.’s nerve-centers of power and wealth—past and present. While peeling back layer after layer of ugly secrets, they discover that the murder of one forgotten girl has chilling ramifications that extend far beyond the tragic loss of a single life. A classic story of good and evil, sacrifice and sin, The Murder Book is a gripping page-turner that illuminates the darkest corridors of the human mind. It is a stunning tour de force.

A Queer Kind of Umbrella
by George Baxt
On a foggy New York night the Green Empress is anchored off the beach at Far Rockaway, waiting to unload its cargo - a cargo nowhere near as exotic as the vessel's regal name suggests. The Empress has 300 aliens crammed into her belly - all are victims of the Asian slave trade, and all are paying very handsome fees for these "luxurious" accommodations to Kao Lee, Chinatown's notorious crime lord and leader of the feared Chi Who gang. But Kao's worried because his astrologer has cautioned him that Jupiter is on the rise, that danger is on its way and will come with the water. What Kao Lee doesn't know is that trouble's already on board and it goes by the name Pharoah Love. Gay, black, and always proud, with his earring and ponytail, Pharoah Love is unlike any other New York City homicide detective - past, present, and, probably, future. Now it's Love versus Lee, and things don't look good for the sassy detective. His boss, Lieutenant Lombardo, suspects that one of his men is in Kao's pocket. Pharoah's best snitch has been killed with a deadly Oriental poison, and his only clue is a very queer kind of umbrella indeed. But the stars say that Kao's days are numbered, and Pharoah is the worthy adversary who plans to fulfill this prophecy.

AFTERPolice officer Carson Blake is cocky and confident and, he believes, untouchable, until the night he pulls over a young man for driving his Lexus without headlights. A brief scuffle leaves the son of an affluent black family dead, his hand holding the cell phone Blake assumed was a gun. With a surgeon's precision, Marita Golden gets inside the mind of a man caught in a nightmare. She traces his descent through a maze of self-recrimination and shame, his bouts of drinking, the humiliation he suffers when his wife and children leave him, and his alienation from his colleagues. As Blake struggles to put his life back together, Golden creates rich and telling portraits of his family: his devoted wife, Bunny, who watched as years of wearing the "suit"-the phrase she uses to describe her husband's uniform - changed the man she married; his estranged father; and his son, Juwan, whose uneasy relationship with his father grows more difficult as Juwan accepts his identity as a teen struggling with his sexuality. This book is used, with very slight coverwear, otherwise, the pages are in brand new condition. There are no markings, writing or highlighting. ( more information)
