A High Price To Pay
Cynthia Hamilton
A Madeline Dawkins Mystery
Publisher: Woodstock Press

Madeline's dual professions as event coordinator and private investigator cross paths during the most lavish affair of her career — a weekend-long fortieth birthday extravaganza for the wife of a famous film director. A simple background check after the disappearance of precious family jewels quickly turns into a murder investigation, and before Madeline and Mike can put the pieces together, another body turns up. As the Santa Barbara police and sheriff's departments search for clues, the Mad Dog P.I.'s use their own methods to untangle the crimes, discovering some unsavory truths behind the glittering façade of their clients.

Adding to Madeline's already overflowing plate, the D.A. informs her that Rick Yeoman, one of the men who had abducted her three years earlier, has been prematurely released from prison after cutting a deal with the Feds. Besides fearing reprisals from the man she helped to convict, his parole also triggers the reappearance of soulless Lionel Usherwood, lured out of his hideaway by the call of revenge. When Yeoman's body surfaces in Lake Cachuma, Usherwood moves on to the next target: Madeline.

What Doesn't Kill You
Iris Johansen
A Catherine Ling Mystery
St. Martin's Press

Catherine Ling was abandoned on the streets of Hong Kong at age four. Schooled in the art of survival, she traded in the only commodity she had: information. As a teenager, she came under the tutelage of a mysterious man known only as Hu Chang — a skilled assassin and master poisoner. As a young woman, she was recruited by the CIA and now she is known as one of their most effective operatives. Having lived life in the shadows, Catherine is aware of the wobbly moral compass of her existence and even more aware of just how expendable she is to those she deals with.

When her old friend Hu Chang creates a formula that's not only deadly but completely untraceable, the race begins to be the first to get it. With rogue operative John Gallo also on the hunt, Catherine finds herself up against a group so villainous and a man so evil that she may not survive in her quest to protect those she cares about: Hu Chang and Luke — the son who was stolen from Catherine and only recently brought home safe.

Using all of her formidable skills, Catherine Ling proves the age-old belief that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

The Case of the Runaway Corpse by Erle Stanley Gardner
A Perry Mason Novel
Publisher: Della Street Press

The two women in Perry Mason's office were a cat-and-mouse combination. And at first glance it seemed that little Mrs. Davenport was the mouse. But her husband said she was trying to kill him … that she had already murdered once and would not hesitate to strike again. Mason's own curiosity made him take the case, and before long he was wanted for questioning by several different officers of the law.

Question: was Myra Davenport a quiet little person, who enjoyed nothing better than pottering about in her garden? Or was she a poisoner, a minx, a modern Lucrezia Borgia?

A superb courtroom expose climaxes Perry Mason's brilliant detection.
