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.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Burn English believes in two things: the freedom of the open range and that any horse he can tame is his to sell. He doesn't make much money, but with nerves of tempered steel and a fair bit of luck, he gets by. Until a foreigner buys up a nearby ranch and starts sectioning it off with barbed wire. Throw in a wayward rustler looking to take advantage of the simmering tension, and next thing you know a range war is ready to blow. Now English has more to worry about than just fencing--his very life is at stake.…

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.…
