In Search of Murder (The Inspector Alvarez Mysteries #37)
by Roderic JeffriesAn eccentric detective finds sun, sand, and murder in this “fun read with sharp wit, a lovable hero, and an intoxicating glimpse of Majorcan life” (Booklist). Inspector Alvarez is rudely awakened from his afternoon siesta by a phone call reporting the death of one Señor Picare, a wealthy Englishman living in Majorca. On arrival at the Picare villa, the detective discovers the dead man’s grieving widow passed out in bed and the cook, Rosalía, comforting a devastated young maid named Marta. It soon becomes clear that Señor Picare promised Marta—and other young women—more than he ever planned to deliver. The island is full of spurned mistresses and jealous husbands who wanted to see the notorious playboy dead. Could Marta’s tears be nothing more than a clever ruse? And what about the friend who was overheard arguing poolside with Picare on the day of his death? Pushed and prodded by his cantankerous boss, Superior Chief Salas, Alvarez doggedly sorts through lies and half-truths to find out what really happened to Picare. Justice and a break from bureaucratic meddling may be powerful incentives, but Alvarez’s true motivation lies closer to his heart—namely, his stomach. If he finds the killer, he might just get a taste of Rosalía’s delicious cooking. “Fans will enjoy the latest adventure of this amiably lazy detective.” —Kirkus Reviews

In Secret Service: A Novel
by Mitch SilverIn this debut of a uniquely talented novelist, Ian Fleming's real world of spies, love, passion, and danger is brought to life when a young woman inherits Fleming's long-hidden account of spying during World War II and must finish it to find out why people are trying to kill her. In 1964, James Bond's creator sealed a package containing a manuscript he thought no one would read until fifty years after his death. Ian Fleming was an officer in Britain's Naval Intelligence during World War II, and he had his own adventures to recount. His family ties and his career had taken him to the upper echelons of British and American society and espionage, a world where passionate affairs, exotic locations, and polite cocktail chatter were interlaced with danger, betrayal, and deceit. He'd replicated that world in his famous novels, but this manuscript contained a real spy story that would explode history when its secrets were revealed. He'd chosen the reader, and he'd have to trust she would serve the truth. In 2005, Amy Greenberg -- a young American academic with a glittering future -- is summoned to Ireland to claim the contents of her grandfather's safe deposit box, in which she finds only one thing: a manuscript by Ian Fleming. The pages detail Fleming's involvement in Allied spycraft and contain information so confidential, so potentially explosive, that Amy soon discovers that people on both sides of the Atlantic are willing to kill to maintain its secrecy. As she journeys back home with her precious cargo, Amy finds herself in a race against time -- she must unlock the manuscript's shocking and fascinating secrets and outwit the unknown assailants who would do anything to bury the truth and protect a traitor's name. Peopled with characters including Winston Churchill, Princess Diana, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Anthony Blunt, and FDR and illustrated with authenticating documents, In Secret Service is a historical mystery inside a contemporary thriller. The debut of an exciting new writer, this book combines impeccable research with thrilling action, in a brand-new take on espionage suspense.
