The time-travelling series returns for a second (and its final) season with more twists and turns as Tyler hunts down a notorious cop killer, investigates a racial hate crime, follows the trail of a young woman's killer and attempts to deal with an IRA bombing threat.

Much of the appeal in the series results from the ambiguity of Tyler's situation: is he hallucinating, or possibly in a coma dreaming, or has he really traveled back in time?

The Life on Mars (UK): Series Two DVD set of 4 discs contain the 8 episodes that aired on BBC during the spring of 2007.

Enter to Win a Copy of Kwei Quartey's Darko Dawson Mysteries

Kwei Quartey

Kwei Quartey will be releasing his second Darko Dawson mystery in 2011, and he's holding a contest to give away a signed copy of the first in the series, Wife of the Gods, as well as the second, when published.

The first letter of each word in the second book's title spell COTS, respectively. Guess the title of the book from the following description of the story: "In the second Detective Inspector Darko Dawson mystery set in Ghana, the discovery of a corpse plunges Darko face to face with the brutal environment of Accra’s largest slum, its dog-eat-dog underground economy in which street children fight for survival, and a series of shocking murders that resemble ritual killings."

Go to KweiQuartey.com to enter your guess. The first five people who guess correctly win!

(MBN note: In our review of Wife of the Gods, we called Quartey's debut novel "an outstanding effort", adding it was a "truly remarkable mystery that unfolds in a most unusual setting." We're definitely looking forward to the second in the series.)

Mystery Book Review: The Case of the Case of Mistaken Identity by Mac Barnett

Mysterious Reviews, mysteries reviewed by the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books, is publishing a new review of The Case of the Case of Mistaken Identity by Mac Barnett. For our blog readers, we are printing it first here in advance of its publication on our website.

The Case of the Case of Mistaken Identity by Mac Barnett

by
A Brixton Brothers Mystery

Simon & Schuster (Hardcover)
ISBN-10: 1-4169-7815-1 (1416978151)
ISBN-13: 978-1-4169-7815-2 (9781416978152)
Publication Date: October 2009
List Price: $14.99

Review: Mac Barnett introduces Steve Brixton, a school age investigative detective (just like it says on his license, which he received for 12 cereal box tops plus $1.95 shipping and handling) on a quest to find a national treasure in The Case of the Case of Mistaken Identity.

Steve is given a homework assignment on a Friday, due Monday, to write an 8 page essay on needlework. He'd rather be writing about being a detective, the topic given to his best friend and chum Dana ("don't call me chum"). The following day he goes to the library and finds a book titled An Illustrated History of American Quilting, which he promptly labels the most boring book ever written. Worse even than The Serious Skald's Guide to Medieval Icelandic Poetry. But someone must think the book is interesting, because Steve is soon being chased by a secret society of librarians, a thug working for a mysterious Mr. E., and the Ocean Park Police, an officer of which just happens to be dating Steve's mom. Using helpful hints provided in The Bailey Brothers Detective Handbook, Shawn and Kevin Bailey being two amateur sleuths featured in his favorite series of mysteries, Steve narrowly escapes all sorts of dangerous situations, and with the help of his chum Dana ("don't call me chum"), solves a mystery that dates back to 1776.

The Case of the Case of Mistaken Identity is a clever, at times wickedly funny, spin on The Hardy Boys mystery series, right down to the illustrations and endpapers. Quotes from The Bailey Brothers Detective Handbook are generously provided and include advice on hiding places ("You can hide in or behind ... grandfather clocks ... today's newspaper ... hedge mazes ... sea caves ... secret tunnels ... Mexico!), an illustrated guide to how to make rope, and what to do if you find yourself tied up with rope. Of course, the advice doesn't always work quite as well for Steve as it did for the Bailey Brothers. Shawn and Kevin, for example, simply flexed their muscles as they were being tied up, only to relax and have the rope fall effortlessly to the ground after their captors left. When Steve is tied up, he relaxes and the ropes are as tight as ever. "For the first time it occurred to Steve that Shawn and Kevin Bailey had considerably bigger muscles than he did. The old flex-your-muscles-while-you're-getting-tied-up trick did not work every time."

The plot is no more far-fetched than the typical Indiana Jones or National Treasure movie, and is really quite delightfully convoluted. That it will engage young readers is almost a given; what's possibly more surprising is how much the book will appeal to adults, especially those familiar with The Hardy Boys series books. The only incongruous aspect to the story is the inclusion of a scene in which Steve is threatened with a gun. It seems particularly inappropriate given how light and entertaining the story is; moreover, it's nonessential from a plot perspective. Children are exposed to enough overt violence in their everyday lives; it's unnecessary here in what is otherwise and overall an exceptional example of escapist entertainment.

Special thanks to Simon & Schuster for providing a copy of The Case of the Case of Mistaken Identity for this review.

A Conversation with Anthony Horowitz, on Independent Weekly

Anthony Horowitz

Zack Smith of the Independent Weekly recently had a conversation with Anthony Horowitz, an author whose work we find particularly exciting, from his television screenplays and adaptations to his books for children and young adults. His most recent original screenplay is Collision, the second part of which airs on PBS this evening.

As well known as he is for his superb series Foyle's War and for writing several episodes of Midsomer Murders, he is probably most recognized as the author of the Alex Rider series of thrillers featuring a teenaged spy. Horowitz says that books give him fewer restrictions than TV: "I can destroy the world, I can visit other worlds, and I don't have to worry (about budgets)." He considers it a "golden age" for children's literature and looks forward to writing the further adventures of his teen spy: "I find Alex endlessly fascinating. It's a journey I haven't tired of, ever." Still, with eight books in the series published, he intends to end it after 10 books when the character turns 15. "I've aged 10 years to my character's one," says Horowitz. "It really doesn't seem fair."

Mystery Book Review: Veil of Lies by Jeri Westerson

Mysterious Reviews, mysteries reviewed by the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books, is publishing a new review of Veil of Lies by Jeri Westerson. For our blog readers, we are printing it first here in advance of its publication on our website.

Veil of Lies by Jeri Westerson

by
A Medieval Noir Mystery

St. Martin's Minotaur (Trade Paperback)
ISBN-10: 0-312-58012-6 (0312580126)
ISBN-13: 978-0-312-58012-4 (9780312580124)
Publication Date: October 2009
List Price: $14.99

Review: Set in 1384 in London, Jeri Westerson introduces Crispin Guest, an amateur sleuth, in Veil of Lies, the first in a series of medieval noir mysteries.

Crispin is of royal blood, a knight in the service of the Duke of Lancaster. In an accusation of treason against the King, he is stripped of his knighthood and lives in a squalid district in London in a single room above a storefront. He's determined to rebuild his disgraced reputation. To survive, he takes on the role of a "tracker", one who, for a fee, will track down stolen articles and return them to their rightful owners. Familiar with the mannerisms of the rich, yet so poor as to be invisible to those with money, he is ideally suited to this kind of work. When well-to-do cloth magnate Nicholas Walcote summons him, Crispin is delighted ... until he learns of the job. He is asked to follow Walcote's wife, who is believed to be having an affair. Although Crispin is reluctant to accept the job, he needs the money. When he visits Walcote the following day, however, Crispin finds him murdered, stabbed several times in his back. What is so unusual is that Walcote is found in a sealed room in his mansion, locked from the inside. Although Crispin has no official authority, the Lord Sheriff allows him help with the investigation.

But the case gets more complicated when Walcote's brothers come to claim the body and are dumbfounded to discover the dead man is not Nicholas. So many questions to be answered: Who was killed? How was he killed? Why was he killed? And where is Nicholas Walcote? Crispin the Tracker must first find all the pieces of this elaborate puzzle before he can solve the unknown man's murder.

The multifaceted, well-crafted plot involving dark secrets, international conspiracy, religious rivalry, an ancient artifact reputed to have magical properties, and, of course, a locked room murder mystery, is but one reason that Veil of Lies is so noteworthy. Another is the principled character of Crispin Guest, who makes for a very appealing amateur sleuth. The individuals in his alliance and those working against him are also all credibly drawn. There is even a touch of humor and romance. This solid debut will have readers looking forward to Crispin Guest's next case.

Special thanks to guest reviewer Betty of The Betz Review for contributing her review of Veil of Lies and to St. Martin's Minotaur for providing a trade paperback edition of the book for this review.

But when he comes to inform his client, he finds the merchant dead in a sealed room, locked from the inside. Now Crispin has come to the unwanted attention of the Lord Sheriff of London and finds himself in the middle of a complex plot involving dark secrets, international intrigue, and a missing religious relic—one that lies at the very heart of this heinous and impossible crime.

Press Release: Reviving Great British Thrillers

A Clear Road to Archangel by Geoffrey Rose

November 2009: Using the latest print-on-demand technology, Top Notch Thrillers, a new imprint of Ostara Publishing based in Essex, England, aims to revive the best of British thriller writing from the 1960s and 70s by republishing titles which “do not deserve to be forgotten.”

Ostara has already established a reputation for high quality trade paperbacks of out-of-print detective stories and crime novels under various thematic imprints such as College Crime, Clerical Crime and Medieval Mysteries. For Top Notch Thrillers, they have brought in critic and award-winning crime-writer Mike Ripley as series editor.

“There is a staggering variety of style and breadth of imagination in British thriller writing which is in danger of slipping from popular memory,” says Ripley. “I think of the Sixties and Seventies as a Golden Age for British thrillers, much as the 1930s were for the detective story. The big names are still remembered, if only just – writers such as Alistair Maclean, Len Deighton and Gavin Lyall – but many are unjustly forgotten. It is a labour of love for me to bring back some of the favourite titles of my youth and put them before a new generation of readers before it’s too late.”

The first four Top Notch Thrillers, published this week, are Snake Water by Alan Williams, The Terrible Door by George Sims, Night of Glass by Philip Purser and A Clear Road to Archangel by Geoffrey Rose. Eight more titles are expected in 2010.

Tracking down authors and agents turned into something of a quest for Ripley. He found Geoffrey Rose, who only wrote three novels, living in retirement in southern England despite the fact that his original publisher had lost track of him in 1980.

“Finding Geoffrey Rose alive and well and happy to see his novel back in print makes it all worthwhile,” he said. “He was an amazing stylist and his books, which have a dreamlike almost surreal quality, were once compared to the early work of Graham Greene, but as a thriller writer he was a genuine one-off.”

Sam Worthington Cast in Film Adaptation of The Last Days of American Crime

The Last Days of American Crime by Rick Remender

Mania.com is reporting that Sam Worthington (Avatar) has been cast to appear in the film adaptation of the soon-to-be-published graphic novel series The Last Days of American Crime, written by Rick Remender and illustrated by Greg Tocchini.

About the book: In the not-too-distant future as a final response to terrorism and crime, the U.S. government plans in secret to broadcast a signal making it impossible for anyone to knowingly commit unlawful acts. To keep this from the public, the government creates a distraction, installing a new currency system using digital charge cards. Enter: Graham Bricke. A career criminal never quite able to hit the big score, Graham intends to steal one of the charging stations, skip the country and live off unlimited funds for the rest of his life. But the media has leaked news of the anti-crime signal one week before it was to go live ... and now Graham and his team have just a few days to turn the crime of the century into the last crime in American history.

"It's really motivated by [David] Mamet's Heist film and James Ellroy's [novel] American Tabloid," Remender explained. "Ellroy being an example of the kind of hard-boiled crime that has a socio-political backdrop and Mamet's Heist a very well-thought out film that focuses on the heist itself."

The Last Days of American Crime (Book 1) publishes January 19, 2010, with the second book in the series two months later.

Enola is a poor white girl who has learned to survive by hook or by crook since being expelled from the orphanage. Slim is a black pimp with an uncertain past, trying to keep one foot out of the grave. When their paths cross, and their options run out, Enola and Slim forge a partnership as murderers for hire. This is their story ... what it takes to survive when all you have is a gun.
