When a local politician goes missing, Jade sees a lucrative opportunity to drum up new clients and inject some much needed cash into their pockets. Jade submits a ''psychic vision'' to the police tipline only to discover that her shot in the dark is chillingly accurate when the police find the politician''s body. Caught in a media whirlwind, Jade revels in her newfound popularity and success, but she quickly finds herself not only the target of a police investigation, but of the killer who is still on the loose. With stunning suspense that is perfect for fans of Samantha M. Bailey, Finley turns the screws tighter into a taunt and thrilling read.
The Leucothea Dialogues
A shifting, primordial work by Cesare Pavese, plumbing the netherworlds of philosophy, myth, human feeling, and mortality"Above all [Pavese''s novels] are works of an extraordinary depth where one never stops finding new levels, new meanings . . . Each one of Pavese''s novels revolves around a hidden theme, something unsaid which is the real thing he wants to say." ? Italo Calvino Cesare Pavese''s The Leucothea Dialogues is peopled with gods, centaurs, clouds, poets, hunters, snakes, and nymphs. These are the beings who spoke to him through the ancient plays and poems he read in primary school. Here they speak again in the twenty-seven dialogues that form the novel. Pavese calls mythology a "hothouse of symbols." His hothouse is liveliest at night, in the peculiar clarity of darkness. Pavese''s characters are more than "characters," they play like the dreams of earliest childhood, they pose questions that seem to travel through the minds of the dead to the minds of the living and back again. Through reeds, shadows, glens, fields of blazing straw, homes and villages on the edges of valleys, and over cliffs, we follow their harried stories. In Minna Zallman Proctor''s radiant translation, The Leucothea Dialogues is an expression of an exhilarating intelligence.

Murder Two Doors Down

Brad Hanson''s life in his suburban Atlanta subdivision is unremarkable. He investigates insurance fraud, which is as dull as it sounds, though if he''s able to get a good bonus this year, his wife Rhonda will finally get to have her new kitchen. His highest achievement in life is being secretary and de facto parliamentarian on the homeowners association board, which is the center of all the neighborhood drama. As frustrating - and heated - as the arguments over tennis court resurfacing and dog droppings may be, much like his subdivision compatriots, Brad would never kill a neighbour, but... he might enjoy thinking about it from time to time. (Who hasn''t?). When someone murders cranky old Inga Oskarsdotter - a frequent source of complaints to the HOA board-a literal smoking gun turns Brad into the chief suspect. But Brad is not waiting around to be arrested - after all, he is an investigator by trade - and he takes it upon himself to find the real killer. Then the body count starts to rise. One thing is sure: A murderer on the block is not good for property values.
