Spanidou,Irini
Fear : A Novel
Irini Spanidou's highly praised first novel, God's Snake, introduced a writer of rare perception and a character, Anna Karystinou, with whom readers fell in love. In Fear, the author returns to Anna as she comes of age.It is now 1959, and thirteen-year old Anna is a perpetual newcomer, moving from place to place with her family. Her father, a demanding army colonel, has raised her to be invulnerable and proud. But Anna's confident air belies her anxiety as she grapples with her burgeoning sexuality, and begins an uneasy friendship with the smug and challenging Veronica Koroneou. When Anna learns that a serial killer is preying on young women nearby, she is lured toward the source of her terror. From a unique and brutally honest angle, Fear is an unflinching portrait of a girl's difficult transition into womanhood.182p. Publisher's PR card laid in. Book

An EDGAR AWARD FINALIST. "In Agatha winner Spencer-Fleming's triumphant third novel after 2003's A Fountain Filled with Blood Clare Fergusson Anglican priest and ex-army helicopter pilot and Sheriff Russ Van Alstyne investigate the hidden secrets past and present of a prominent Millers Kill N.Y. familyâ"and must also face the hidden secrets of their own hearts. When the roof of St. Alban's Episcopal Church springs a leak that threatens to destroy a beautiful stained-glass window Clare calls an emergency vestry meeting only to discover that paying for the repairs is more complicated than she expected. Mrs. Marshall a wealthy parishioner agrees to donate the money though it will mean the withdrawal of funds from the town health clinic. Shortly after hearing the news Dr. Rouse the clinic's respected director disappears under baffling circumstances. Since her first outing In the Bleak Midwinter 2002 Clare has grown in complexity as shown in a number of exquisitely described scenes between her and Russ in the church. The season of Lent serves as a most fitting backdrop starting with Ash Wednesday and culminating in the Great Easter Vigil. The author expertly portrays the power of grief guilt greed and love and their effect on good people in a story as chilling as the month of March in Millers Kill. A subtle sense of humor further enhances this poignant and provocative mystery." -- Publishers Weekly. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book. Saint Martin's Press Hardcover

Sprague, Gretchen
Death In Good Company
N.Y.: St. Martins 1997. First edition with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket not price clipped in protective mylar cover. Author's first in the Martha Patterson series. "Talk about starting with a bang. While retired and widowed lawyer Martha Patterson is still being warned against ``the Mother Teresa syndrome'' in her new job at West Brooklyn Legal Services one of the paralegals bursts into the office bleeding from a head wound; he's been mugged says Carlos Quinones by three men who stole the rent-strike money he'd just collected from The Building. Hours later just after Martha gets off the phone with Tessie Doone a tenant of The Building whose Social Security checks have stopped coming crazy Wilma Oberfell stalks into the office claiming ``I don't know whom I can trust'' before following Martha home then skulking away. And the next day when Martha goes out to The Building to talk to Tessie she runs into Wilma again strangled by a convenient burglar. Even if you don't believe the burglar story the suspects--the decamped tenants' association treasurer at The Building Tessie's fast-talking grandson Kareem Hewitt a mysterious man on The Building's fire escape and of course all those lawyers at Brooklyn Legal Services--are almost too plentiful to believe. Sprague follows her Edgar-winning YA novel Signpost to Terror 1967 with a mazelike tale that not only features an unobtrusively gifted detective--Martha's eye for detail puts her head and shoulders above most of her big-ticket competition--but provides a virtual handbook of rarely fictionalized pro bono legal maneuvers." -- Kirkus Review.

Spring, Michelle
NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN
N.Y.: Ballantine 1999. First edition so stated June 1999 with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket not price clipped in protective mylar cover. Private Investigator Laura Principal. "Anglophiles will delight in this Cambridge-based tale which convincingly weaves the city's geography and history into its well-crafted plot. Spring thankfully avoids the bane of many mysteries set in a famous city breaking the history into easily digestible tidbits and never sounding like a travel guide. Readers will quickly warm to protagonist Laura Principal a private investigator who helps support the agency by taking seemingly mundane gigs like providing security for Cambridge's annual May Ball. When a female student disappears after the ball however the job quickly turns menacing and eventually leads to murder. Meanwhile a handsome academic makes a play for Laura whose relationship with boyfriend Sonny has been a little shaky of late. Spring effectively mixes plenty of humor into her realistic hard-edged crime story; readers will find themselves chuckling frequently at Laura's wit and ironic view of the world." -- Booklist. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book. Ballantine Hardcover
