Foul Matter
by Martha GrimesSophisticated intrigue, dry humor, and eccentric characters flow effortlessly from Martha Grimes's rich imagination. Not to mention the atmospheric and storytelling genius that has made her a consistently bestselling author. Her newest novel, Foul Matter , is set in a world she knows all too well and unfolds with a consummate deadly irony. Author Paul Giverney is between publishers. Despite stratospheric sales of his books and frenzied competition to sign him up, he lives modestly in New York's East Village and nurses a secret ambition of a very different sort. In fact, he has a byzantine plan for accomplishing it: the #1 condition of his proposed contract with the literary giant Mackenzie-Haack. They must drop Ned Isaly, a brilliant but far less successful author, and assign his equally gifted editor to Paul. In the hornets' nest of preening egos and cutthroat career moves this stirs up, ambitious editor Clive Esterhaus covets the glossy megastar Paul for himself. But Isaly's book contract is unbreakable and Clive never dreams how a very different kind of contract will force him-and his ambition-into a very foul matter, indeed.

To the delight of her sister and the horror of her mother, Sofie's thinking about getting a tattoo. To her own horror and delight, things are heating up between Sofie and sexy Greek baker Dino.

As the Mets steamroll toward the pennant race, Sofie finds herself tailing Reni Venezuela and hoping that whatever she discovers--steroids? an affair?--won't cost her beloved Mets the Series. . . .

Foul Play
by Janet Evanovich"Lulu the Clown had every reason to hate Rhode Island Red," the TV station manager, Brian Turner, yelled at the nearest cop. "She lost her job to him!" The news reporter grinned at Amy. "Let me get this straight. You were replaced by a chicken?" He turned to Jake. "And you hired Lulu the Clown to take care of him?" A belligerent look came into Jake's eyes. "No, she was replaced by a rooster. And Lulu the Clown was replaced by my new receptionist." Turner elbowed his way through the crowd. "I think this looks very suspicious. I'm not usually one to point fingers, but I want that rooster back, and I think Lulu the Clown knows where he is. I think she should be interrogated or searched, or something." Jake reached toward Turner, accidentally jostling Amy. The food basket slipped from her hand and landed with a loud thunk on the floor. Amy bent to retrieve it, removing the lid to make sure her pie plate hadn't broken. Everyone in the room stared at the clear plastic container of soup nestled next to a tray of biscuits. Turner's face turned white. "Wait a second... is that...?" He gasped. "That's chicken soup!"
