Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 237 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 12") bound in original publisher's red boards with silver lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. The street signs outside Detective Jeremy Ransom's office say it's Chicago, but inside -- and inside hi…s mind and heart and speech -- it's rural England circa 1930. Ransom's second case turns on a riddle with all the earmarks of a British cozy: How did Melina, the tarot reader Angela Stephens consulted on the last clay of her life, know Angela was about to be murdered? It's no good asking Melina: Before she has time for more than a brisk sniff or two, she's followed her late client into the spirit realm. And Ransom and his surrogate grandmother, Emily Charters, whose life he saved in their debut (Presence of Mind, 1994), are left with two deeply unpromising suspects: the transparently grief-stricken widower, Frank Stephens, and Angela's bad-girl sister, Eva Brinkley, who didn't inherit a thing and boasts a shockproof alibi anyway. Emily's not much help this time, and Ransom's improbable charm -- he must be the politest cop in Chicago annals -- grows a little pale. The plot is a perfectly good short-story idea stretched as thin as that last smidgen of marmalade. Condition: Remainder stamp at front end paper else a near fine copy in a fine jacket.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 376 pages. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter black cloth with gilt lettering to spine over black boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Plucked from her German mother and forced to live with a chilly English… father who's often away from their ramshackle house on a lonely stretch of coast, 11-year-old Marianne Cadogan sticks like an unwanted burr to Ryan O'Donnell, the rough-living loner who rescued her and her dog from the sea. After running away, she entraps Ryan into trekking with her to Germany to find her mother, a tortured woman sinking low among the worst kind of flesh peddlers. But buzzing in Ryan's mind--and alarming police who mount an international search for the twosome--is his memory of murdering a girl much like Marianne. The question is whether her dogged innocence will mean a chance for redemption for Ryan--or ruination. Slow set-ups undercut the climactic scenes in this psychological thriller by a bestselling British writer making his American hardcover debut. Spiced with sexual violence, dark secrets and one-note villains, the book limps along as tension repeatedly tightens then perceptibly loosens its grip. The publisher is marketing this book with a ``special introductory price,'' which may attract readers. Condition: A near fine copy in a fine jacket.

Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's quarter blue paper with silver lettering to spine over yellow boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. In five superlative mysteries, cleaning-lady-and-sleuth Callahan Garrity ha…s patrolled the uneasy border where antebellum and New South converge. Now, in her most timely and intricate adventure yet, she must step in when hippies, yuppies and crackers clash with murderous consequences. Overnight, it seems, Callahan's Atlanta neighborhood is morphing from a genial mix of hobo and boho into an upscale, cappuccino-drenched quarter. The most unsettling portent of this change is that YoYos, a venerable headshop, is being forced out of business so that a microbrewery can take over its prime location. As the neighborhood gears up for its raucous Halloween revels, Callahan realizes that trouble is brewing. Not only is a fierce tornado bearing down on Atlanta, but Wuvvy, the aging flower child who runs YoYos, is on an uncharacteristic rampage. And in the storm's aftermath, Callahan's fears are confirmed when she finds the bludgeoned corpse of the grasping young entrepreneur who was pushing Wuvvy out. The police are quick to pin the crime on Wuvvy, but Callahan can't believe that this gentle soul would commit such a brutal act. Callahan's unique ability to mingle both with superannuated hippies and small-town Southern belles allows her to dig into the victim's past and Wuvvy's. She unearths a slew of succulent revelations about Wuvvy -- a tabloid-worthy tale strikingly at odds with the woman Callahan thought she knew. Her search also forces her to reassess old friendships in light of deadly new developments. As Callahan's investigation unfolds, she unleashes her wry wit, tussles with the outrageous band of "girls" (and one newly recruited "boy") in her cleaning business and rekindles romance with her rugged beau, Mac McAuliffe. All in all, Strange Brew is superbly intoxicating suspense. Condition: Remainder strike to heal end pages else near fine in a fine jacket.

When her husband, Hal, accepts a teaching position at a private school in the tiny North Carolina town of Rural Ridge, Hannah Marsh views her family's move as a chance to return to a simpler, sweeter way of living. Contentedly married for seventeen years and the mother of two children, she nevertheless has a nagging sense that something is absent from her life. Then, at a casual neighborhood dinner, Hannah encounters someone she thought she'd never see again: Daintry O'Connor, a ghost from her childhood. Condition: Fine in like jacket.

The lively place: Mount Auburn, America's first garden cemetery, and its revolutionary and literary residents. Illustrations by Matthew A. Longo. Boston: Beacon Press, 2016, 1st printing number line ending with 1,…254pp., . "When Mount Auburn Cemetery was founded, in 1831, it revolutionized the way Americans mourned the dead by offering a peaceful space for contemplation. This cemetery, located not far from Harvard University, was also a place that reflected and instilled an imperative to preserve and protect nature in a rapidly industrializing culturelessons that would influence the creation of Central Park, the cemetery at Gettysburg, and the National Parks system. Even today this urban wildlife habitat and nationally recognized hotspot for migratory songbirds continues to connect visitors with nature and serves as a model for sustainable landscape practices. Beyond Mount Auburn's prescient focus on conservation, it also reflects the impact of Transcendentalism and the progressive spirit in American life seen in advances in science, art, and religion and in social reform movements. In The Lively Place, Stephen Kendrick celebrates this vital piece of our nation's history, as he tells the story of Mount Auburn's founding, its legacy, and the many influential Americans interred there, from religious leaders to abolitionists, poets, and reformers.".
