Whisking Laura away to his secluded Louisiana ranch doesn't provide the sanctuary Colton planned.

The Jealous Kind by James Lee Burke, Holland Family

Publisher: Simon & Schuster

 

On its surface, life in Houston is as you would expect: drive-in restaurants, souped-up cars, jukeboxes, teenagers discovering their sexuality. But beneath the glitz and superficial normalcy, a class war has begun, and it is nothing like the conventional portrayal of the decade. Against this backdrop Aaron Holland Broussard discovers the poignancy of first love and a world of violence he did not know existed.

When Aaron spots the beautiful and gifted Valerie Epstein fighting with her boyfriend, Grady Harrelson, at a Galveston drive-in, he inadvertently challenges the power of the Mob and one of the richest families in Texas. He also discovers he must find the courage his father had found as an American soldier in the Great War.

And a return to olden times with the Dick Turpin robberies — coaches of people held up on the highway and told to "Stand and deliver!"

When the Battling Brolly tries to help the police by creating some of her famous sketches she seems to hint at a connection between the gangs — but what? If only Chief Superintendent Delphick can work out the subconscious clue behind Miss Ess's cryptic cartoons.

Serene amidst every kind of skullduggery, this eccentric English spinster steps in where Scotland Yard stumbles, armed with nothing more than her sketchpad and umbrella!

The Good German by Joseph Kanon

A Historical Thriller

Publisher: Henry Holt

Kindle Daily Deal Price: $2.99

Berlin, 1945. Jake Geismar, former Berlin correspondent for CBS, has managed to wangle one of the coveted press slots for the Potsdam Conference. His assignment: a series of articles on the American occupation of postwar Berlin. His personal agenda: to find Lena, the German mistress he left behind at the outbreak of the war. When he stumbles on a murder — an American soldier washed up on the shore of the conference grounds — he thinks he has found the key that will unlock his Berlin story. What he finds instead is a larger story of corruption and intrigue reaching deep into the heart of the occupation and a city not only physically but morally devastatated, where children scavenge for food in the rubble, sex can be had for a cigarette, and the black market is the only means of survival.

Berlin at zero hour is like nowhere else — a tragedy, and a feverish party after the end of the world. And nothing is simple — not the murder of a soldier and not any of the lives, American and German, that Jake encounters as he tries to solve it. More unsolvable still is the larger crime that hangs over everything in 1945, a crime so huge it seems beyond punishment.

— The Good German by Joseph Kanon
