It’s a doubly challenging case for the cop and the coroner to be taking on, at a fraught time for both of them. <P>As Jane struggles to save her mother from the crumbling marriage that threatens to bury her, Maura grapples with the imminent death of her own mother—infamous serial killer Amalthea Lank. While Jane tends to her mother, there’s nothing Maura can do for Amalthea, except endure one final battle of wills with the woman whose shadow has haunted her all her life. Though succumbing to cancer, Amalthea hasn’t lost her taste for manipulating her estranged daughter—this time by dangling a cryptic clue about the two bizarre murders Maura and Jane are desperately trying to solve. <P>But whatever the dying convict knows is only a piece of the puzzle. Soon the investigation leads to a secretive young woman who survived a shocking abuse scandal, an independent horror film that may be rooted in reality, and a slew of martyred saints who died cruel and unusual deaths. And just when Rizzoli and Isles think they’ve cornered a devilish predator, the long-buried past rears its head—and threatens to engulf more innocent lives, including their own. <P><b>A New York Times Bestseller</b>

I Lie for a Living: Greatest Spies of All Time
by Antony ShugaarTop Secret is definitely not the right word for the International Spy Museum--its launch in 2002 made news and it has been high-profile ever since, with attendance growing by leaps and bounds. The International Spy Museum Handbook of Practical Spying has already been declassified to the delight of those in the need-to-know. Now, following up on that success, here's an illustrated biographical who's who of spydom from biblical days to recent times. I Lie for a Living is a regular rogue's gallery of history's most accomplished intriguers and intelligence operatives, famous and infamous alike. It's amazing how colorful some of these characters are, like 16th century playwright, brawler and secret agent Christopher Marlow or Virginia Hall and Josephine Baker, femmes fatales both. Organized into ten thematic chapters, this light-hearted but clear-eyed look at lone-wolf moles, double agents, and intricate triple-crosses unmasks a wide-ranging roster from covert patriots whose unheralded heroism sometimes cost them their lives to mercenary traitors for sale to the highest bidder, like Benedict Arnold or Aldrich Ames. It's a for-your-eyes-only kind of book, so beware-if you don't watch your back it's a sure bet someone will be reading it over your shoulder.

I Like It Cool (The PI Johnny Amsterdam Mysteries #2)
by Lawrence LariarBruising Manhattan PI Johnny Amsterdam finds a twisty link between a debauched artist, a Hollywood glamour girl, a beatnik singer, and murder. When popular cartoonist Lawrence Lariar decided to moonlight as a mystery writer, creating comic book artist turned amateur sleuth Homer Bull was a natural. From the 1940s through the 1960s, Lariar continued to switch from sketching caricatures to sketchy characters, writing hardboiled crime fiction under his own name as well as the pseudonyms Michael Stark, Adam Knight, Michael Lawrence, and Marston La France, and creating a series of memorable gumshoes. Now his classic whodunits are available as ebooks. Johnny Amsterdam is up to his neck in trouble when he says yes to the sister of a war buddy. Sandra Tyson, a real-gone headliner at a Village dive, is in a panic over her friend Helen. The recently relocated fashion model, naïve to the ways of the Big Apple—and all its lecherous worms—was found beaten and brutalized in her apartment. The investigation takes an even nastier turn when Sandra&’s estranged father, wealthy King of the Comic Strips, enters the fringe. Sandra&’s been wanting her deserved share of his fortune, and she was in cahoots with Helen to get it. When daddy-o is murdered, Amsterdam has to find out who among the richnik&’s circle of sycophants, bodyguards, rivals—or long-lost relatives—did it. All the private dick knows for sure is that there are more motives to murder than money, and the victims in this case have as many secrets as the suspects. I Like It Cool is the 2nd book in the PI Johnny Amsterdam Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

I Might Be in Trouble: A hilarious and heartfelt debut mystery with a twist, perfect for fans of YELLOWFACE and THE PLOT
by Daniel Aleman"Prepare to gasp out loud, cringe, cackle, and cry... Hilarious hijinks aside, at its heart, this is a book that isn't afraid to dive deep into heart wrenching isolation and the anxiety that comes with trying to figure out how to get your shit together." Jesse SutantoDavid's writing career? Dying. And his hot new date? Dead in his bed.A few years ago, David Alvarez had it all: a six-figure book deal, a loving boyfriend, and an exciting writing career. His debut novel was a resounding success, which made the publication of his second book-a total flop-all the more devastating. Now, David is single, lonely, and desperately trying to come up with the next great idea for his third manuscript, which will hopefully be the one to save him from ruin.In an attempt to find inspiration, David hits the dating apps. And his luck seems to have turned when he meets a devastatingly handsome, confident, and wealthy man who takes him out on the town for the best night of his life. There's only one problem. The morning after a phenomenal date, David wakes to find his prince charming dead in his bed. Terrified and confused, David calls the only person he can trust in a moment of crisis: his literary agent, Stacey. What ensues is a madcap adventure through the city with his dead date as David and Stacey try to find what secrets prince charming has been hiding, and just how much hot water David is in. One silver lining? His next book idea seems pretty set...Read what everyone has been saying about I Might Be in Trouble:"Funny, relatable, and utterly bonkers, I Might Be in Trouble is an anxiety-ridden thrill ride that I couldn't put down. David Alvarez is one of those heartbreakingly vulnerable characters that you want to shake one moment, and wrap in a blanket to keep safe from harm the next. Come for the deadly hijinks, stay for the 'if I don't laugh, I'll cry' look at what it's like to work in publishing." Mia P. Manansala"A genre-busting rollercoaster ride. . . Darkly comic and painfully relatable, the novel also offers thoughtful reflections on the emotional cost of sudden success, and the anxiety of losing sight of who you once were outside of your accomplishments." Caitlin Barasch"I Might Be Trouble is as much a page-turning thriller as it is a comedic, big-hearted exploration of love, loneliness, and the way writing can save us. Daniel Aleman's meta winks at gay life in New York City are fresh and poignant, but the novel's outlandishly delicious plot kept me pinned to every page. I could not put this book down." John Glynn
