What Angels Fear
By C.S. Harris $7.99
A wonderful fresh, fast-paced mystery set in pre-Regency
London. It also has a hint of history, romance and
humor which makes it my kind of mystery. I have read
all 6 books in the series and loved them all.

Dissolution
By C. J. Sansom $15
This is the first installment in an excellent historical mystery series set in Tudor England (1540’s). The author has the uncanny ability of being able to
immerse the reader in the events and scenery of that time. The others in the series are even better!

writers.

A Pale Horse

A school boys prank ultimately involves Inspector Rutledge in a convoluted

Firewall
by Henning Mankell $13.95
An interesting study of a middle-aged cop surrounding a deliciously intricate police procedural.
No wonder Mankell is one of Sweden’s popular writers. Better than Before the Frost which was exceptional.
