Hardback. Zustand: Good. Mystery, history and love set against the spectacular landscape of Monument Valley on the Navajo Indian Reservation. This riveting suspense will keep readers turning pages as lapsed socialite Amanda Bell travels to a remote desert to fulfill her deceased father's last wish-deliver and archive his Southwest literary collection, a gift to the fledgling Navajo Cultural Center. To Durango Yazzie, the Center's Navajo director, her arrival is an intrusive reminder to an already superstitious community of her father's dead body somewhere in the desert never properly put to rest. Their courage and ideals are tested as they unearth unsavory truths from the past involving murder, missing antiquities, rumors of scandal, secretive teenagers who spend too much time in the desert, a scheming small town newspaper editor who knows everything but tells nothing, and a menacing presence watching their every move.…

Zustand: Good. Fleeing an academic scandal and a broken marriage, Jean Fairbairn has come to Scotland to work for an Edinburgh-based history and travel magazine. Writing about the Scottish national pastime of playing illusion off reality is just the quiet, scholarly pursuit she needs to soothe her burned-out emotions. But when Jean heads for the Highlands to investigate the 18th century mystery of Bonnie Prince Charlie's lost treasure, she finds herself involved in a contemporary murder case--and not as an innocent bystander, either. Alasdair Cameron, the police detective in charge, has his own perspective on reality and illusion. The American dot-com millionaire living out his tartan fantasies in a restored mansion is the loosest of loose cannons. His trophy wife isn't necessarily standing by her man. Their housekeeper knows what's going to happen before it does. And their youth piper is a kilted daydream, even though his parents are nightmares. At Glendessary House, old wounds and old glories aren't distant memories evoked over a glass of single-malt, to the skirl of the pipes. Here, they are up close, personal, and deadly. It's a good thing Jean has back-up in Edinburgh. Because if butting heads--not to mention hearts--with Cameron isn't enough to do her in, then a killer is waiting and watching, with a motive for murder not hidden nearly deeply enough in the past.…

While at the local cantina, he overhears a conversation between two Mexican vaqueros seated nearby and decides to introduce himself. The two men work for Don Enrique Hernandez de Allende at a horse ranch some distance south. The don is planning a horse drive to the north and then west to California, where the don's brother-in-law has a ranch. Owen knows those trails and hopes the don, who has never made the trip before, might be in need of a guide.As luck would have it, the don and his daughter, Rosa Maria, are impressed with Owen. The ramrod, a man named Chavez, is a tougher nut to crack. Suspicious of gringos in general, Chavez also resents the attention that Rosa Maria is inclined to pay Owen.

To be captured by Chavez and his vaqueros means death, so can Owen find the thieves and recover the horses?Trail Hand is a taut, highly dramatic story of danger that is increasingly suspenseful and rich with sharply etched, unforgettable characters.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Skip tracer Henry Swann cares little about anything but money, so when a beautiful Upper East Side woman shows up in his office and hires him to find her missing husband, he smiles and takes the cash. But when this seemingly simple missing-person case turns into homicide, Swann finds himself trapped in a complex web of connections and multiple identities that takes him out of New York City and across two continents. Praise for SWAN'S LAST SONG . Swann's got the smarts and hard-boiled cynicism of Sam Spade, but he's also got a wicked sense of humor that keeps things cool even when the action gets hot. -Brian Kilmeade, author of New York Times bestseller The Games Do Count Salzberg's a hell of a writer. He delivers thrills, insight and plenty of laughs. Swann is a very cool take on the classic P.I. -Andrew Klavan, author of True Crime and Don't Say a Word A veritable travelogue of suspense, SWAN'S LAST SONG grabs hold of the reader and doesn't let go. Salzberg's anti-hero is a soulful investigator and one of the most paradoxically endearing characters I've come across. I hope this isn't Swann's last song. -Joy Behar (co-host of The View) Salzberg defies expectations left and right in this subtly subversive, genre-twisting page turner. SWAN'S LAST SONG is where literature meets entertainment -Mark Goldblatt, author of Africa Speaks.…
