Review: No one would suspect that the rural area of Northumberland, England, would be the stage for the kidnapping of newly elected U. S. President Joel Waterstone, a Jewish candidate who won the White House as an unabashed liberal standing tall against the forces of religious fundamentalism, both at home and abroad. Narrator Garrick Hagon builds tension and suspense in characters who believe living for the next life is more important than existing in this one. As the corkscrew plot builds to an apocalyptic climax, listeners looking for escapist entertainment with a philosophical twist will find this most enlightening. Very Good/Very Good.

Review: At the heart of this thriller lies an idea that is familiar to fans of the genre -that of the victim wreaking vengeance after recovering from a near fatal attack. Eddy's variant on a theme is one of the better ones, as undercover cop Grace Flint returns to the force after reconstructive surgery. She has been the victim of a vicious attack by a murderous money launderer, and has had plenty of time in recuperation to brood on her attacker's guilt. Has her personality been damaged by the course of events, both in the present and by a trauma from her childhood? Fortunately Eddy draws his central character sympathetically and convincingly, and the reader cares for the heroine as she treads through the labyrinthine and fast moving plot. Fine/Fine.

But Pentecost has become a snare for Flint's undercover agents. One agent is already dead, and the evidence of treachery is mounting. Who is Mandrake, the MI6 codename for the traitor close enough to Flint to anticipate her every move? And who in the US government is determined to protect him? Another tense and gritty outing for the tough Grace Flint from the talented Eddy. Fine/Fine. ISBN: 9780747271161

Murder and Obsession

Fine condition. Orion, 2000. First UK edition-first printing of this edition. Purple hardback(silver lettering to the spine) with Dj(two small creases, nicks and scratch on the Dj cover), both in fine condition. Nice and clean pages as new with two pencil marks impressions on the edge of the first blank page of the book, small ink mark and a nick on the outer edge of the pages. Nice and clean book. 407pp. Price un-clipped. Product Description: The third entry in Otto Penzler's themed series of new stories focuses on obsession: a topic so broad that almost any crime story can be shoehorned in from Elmore Leonard's arson investigation to Shel Silverstein's droll sex offender anecdote. In a very strong line-up, Joyce Carol Oates' vampire, Edna Buchanan's shoe fetishist, James Hall's voyeur, Elizabeth George's scheming modern champion of Richard III, and Ed McBain's city dweller driven barking mad by a yappy Maltese, are up there with the best. Including a pair of wild cards from regional specialists Dennis Lehane (who leaves Boston to holiday among some memorable southern lowlifes) and Michael Malone whose path crosses Lehane's as he travels north for a closer look at homicide in New York, and with supporting performances by Kent Anderson, James Crumley, Anne Perry and Amanda Cross, this terrific volume explores the depths of obsession - for the height of bone-chilling diversion. n nAbout the Author nOtto Penzler is the owner of The Mysterious Bookshops in New York and Los Angeles. An authority on crime fiction, he is the founder of The Mysterious Press and Otto Penzler Books. He received an Edgar Award for the ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MYSTERY AND DETECTION and was honoured by the Mystery Writers of America in 1994 with the Ellery Queen Award for his contributions in the publishing field.

The book is in VGC with light shelf wear on the cover. 740pp including Author's note. Price un-clipped. A collectable first edition. Heavy book(approx 1. 3 Kg). From Publishers Weekly: On a visit to her Bryn Mawr classmate's home in China, Julie Pavernen is swiftly caught up in the glittering corruption of Shanghai in the 1920s. In a matter of months, the well-bred American befriends a White Russian countess in a seamy line of work, takes a job with her gun-running uncle and falls in love with the son of her Chinese host. After such a debut, Julie's fervent efforts on behalf of the downtrodden during three tumultuous decades of fighting to free China from the grip of warlords and foreign powers should be unsurprising, but the shallowness of her character and that of others representing various political persuasions works against plausibility. Elegant, author of bestsellers Dynasty and Manchu, is an able historian. Unfortunately, his cast of constantly seesawing lovers and wooden historical figures never brings to life the remarkably complex political shifts of the People's Revolution. Good/Good.
