The Scott Peterson murder case is the most gripping and highly publicized crime story of the twenty-first century. It has fascinated the public, who are hungry for an answer to the question: Why would a man with no known history of violent crime or mental illness, with a pretty wife about to give birth to his son, brutally murder her? To help get "inside Peterson's head," the national media turned to Dr. Keith Ablow. His appearances resulted in a deluge of e-mails with most stating that his theories about the spawning of a killer inside Peterson were the first that made sense to them. Members of Scott's and Laci's families have also stated that his comments were the first that helped them understand what happened inside Scott's mind.

Carlotta Carlyle Mystery S., Bk. 7.
Twenty-four years ago, teen prodigy Thea Janis vanished from her upper crust Boston prep school. At first, called a runaway, she's later named among the victims of a serial killer, a man doing life in Walpole Prison. Then, a new manuscript appears in her family's mailbox. The words cry out from the printed pages, Thea's voice unmistakable even a quarter century since the girl's mysterious disappearance. A new client bearing a dead man's name turns up in the office of P.I. Carlotta Carlyle, looking for her help in finding whoever is sending the book - even if it turns out to be Thea herself. The investigation leads Carlotta to a prominent Boston family, with deep connections and even deeper pockets, and which badly wants the tragic past to stay buried. But, after a hit man tries to write his own ending to the saga, the cold case suddenly goes white hot - and Carlotta may be the one who ends up getting burned.

Riding Gain

Working in talk radio can involve murder-crazed callers, wacky co-workers, demanding advertisers - and that's just on a normal day. Occasionally there's more. Like the day that begins "Riding Gain", when a former intern at Shauna J. Bogart's radio station is murdered in what the police decide is a drug deal gone bad. Shauna J. doesn't buy it; she plunges into an investigation of her own, and is drawn into a disturbing new world of electronic surveillance and "security." Shauna J. made her debut in "Murder Off Mike", which war the Malice Domestic contest for the best first traditional mystery; the book was also nominated for the Agatha award the following year.

A chance to be a part of a headline-grabbing case against a drug company has lured attorney Avery Andrews back to Charleston, South Carolina. She agrees to meet with Mark Tilman, a young doctor from her home town who seems to have something on his mind. When he doesn't show, she figures he stood her up and takes comfort in the stilt restaurant's she-crab soup. But it turns out he had a fatal car accident. Something about the crash isn't right, and Mark's father asks Avery to look into his death. Between that and digging up dirt on the wonder drug Uplift, Avery is coming up with more questions than answers. Of course, Avery isn't the only one making headlines. Back in Dacus, her mom is on live television confronting a teenager's dynamite-toting paramour in a hostage crisis at the Burger Hut, Great-Aunt Aletha is mixing it up with the now-toupee-less postman, and the son of a ghost wants vengeance. In short, it's life as usual back in Dacus, while in Charleston, Avery is forced to face demons from her own past...

Blindfold Game
Published March 2006 by St Martins P US at £17.99
ISBN: 031234323X
In Thailand, two men hire some modern-day pirates to hijack a Russian freighter. It is appallingly easy and the ship sails, undetected, toward the western coast of North America. On the Bering Sea, the USS Sojourner Truth, a Coast Guard cutter, patrols the Maritime Boundary Line. The seasoned crew, dealing with a high volume of ocean-going traffic, is finding that choppy seas are making their efforts even more difficult. In Washington DC, a CIA analyst traces the sale of black market plutonium. As the pieces fit together, he realizes that a terrorist attack is under way on a valuable - and vulnerable - American target. He also sees that the Sojourner Truth is sailing right into the attack - putting his estranged wife, the second in command on the Sojourner, at the heart of an international crisis. Relentlessly gripping and frighteningly plausible, "The Blindfold Game" is the pinnacle of Dana Stabenow's award-Winning career.
