Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

We open the book to an urban-pastoral scene - a young couple sitting in a diner, enjoying breakfast together, reading the newspaper and looking for an apartment. One can almost hear the bacon and eggs sizzle. But slowly, we find that this unassuming couple is anything but ordinary. They are cold-blooded killers looking for their next victim.For years the script had always been the same. Act One: find a wealthy old woman in need of companionship. Act Two: have lovely, sympathetic Gretchen insinuate herself into the lonely dowager's personal life and financial affairs. Then call in Jay to bring down the final curtain with a cold-blooded smile and a bullet through the unfortunate senior citizen's brain.It looked as if the two killers were in for a long and successful run. But then Jay decided to improvise a little. And suddenly the murderous duo was about to find themselves cast in roles they had never rehearsed--as the victims...

Alive and dead

E. X. Ferrars

Webb Carrick of the Scottish Fisheries Protection Service latest adventure takes him on a North Atlantic shark hunt in the waters of the storm-tossed Hebrides. Webb Carrick finds he has inadvertently strayed right into the middle of a smouldering feud between a renegade band of shark hunters and some vengeful local fishermen, angered by the drowning of a young girl - a feud which threatens to ignite when he boards a wrecked fishing boat and finds her skipper dead on deck. As furious charges and counter charges are hurled, murder and arson come to the islands with stealthy suddenness. But when the final stormtide breaks even Webb Carrick is staggered to discover how much is at stake in terms of life and death.

The Cup and the Lip

A killing in gold

HENSLEY, JOE L.

<p>When Conan Flagg ended up on the receiving end of a friend's hefty punch one stormy night, a broken hand and sore jaw were only the least of the damages. For Brian Tally, owner of the Surf House restaurant had aimed his swing at an IRS auditor... and although he had laid Conan out instead, the auditor turned up the next morning - dead - in the Surf House freezer.Of all the suspects, Brian is the only one without an alibi, and one piece of incriminating evidence seems to prove his guilt beyond a doubt. Conan, however, prefers to entertain other possibilities... perhaps the head chef in love with Brian's girlfriend, perhaps a pill-popping janitor, or the almost too-perfect matronly bookkeeper, or the alcoholic real estate agent . . . yet Brian seems flawlessly framed. And Conan Flagg once again dons his role as detective to save a friend and solve a fascinating, deadly riddle.</p>
