Caleb Carr The Italian Secretary: A Further Adventure of Sherlock Holmes Pbk published December 2006 by Time Warner at £6.99 ISBN: 0751537470
See Review by Rafe McGregor

Mycroft Holmes, charged with ensuring the personal safety of Queen Victoria, calls on his brother for help when a number of attempts have been made on her life and when two unexplained deaths occur amongst the staff at her Scottish residencies. Accompanied by Dr Watson, Sherlock Holmes goes north by train, examining the few facts Mycroft has been able to cryptically supply. To Watson's bafflement he is sure there is a link between these deaths and the murder in the old royal apartments at Holyrood of the secretary to Mary, Queen of Scots: a killing which left a bloodstain that daily refreshes itself and in a room where voices can be heard in the darkest hours of the night. Can Holmes's extraordinary deductive powers solve the historical crime as well as the contemporary one? An original, beautifully crafted mystery story which is also a respectful homage to the master of the whodunnit.

Patricia Cornwell At Risk Pbk published December 2006 by Time Warner at £6.99 ISBN: 075153871X
See Review by Judith Rhodes

A 'one-off' from the best-selling creator of the Dr Kay Scarpetta series, based on the serialisation in the New York Times. Moving between the chill of Cambridge, Massachusetts and the sultry humidity of Knoxville, Tennessee, Winston Garano, a police investigator, is instructed to look into a twenty-year-old murder case. Although Win reckons there are many more pressing current cases which should have higher priority, he gets on with the task, unaware of the can of worms he will prise open. With her hallmark qualities of deft characterisation, perfect research and tense story-telling, Patricia Cornwell has created a novella which entertains, intrigues and satisfies.

Theresa Monsour Dark House Pbk published November 2006 by Time Warner at £6.99 ISBN: 0751538213

English professor Serene Ransom is nursing a late- night drink and musing on the sexual possibilities of the hunky young bartender when a robbery interrupts her fantasies. She urges 'Catch' Clancy to kill the thief, but when he hesitates she doesn't. Catch knows what the cops will assume when they find a murder has been committed in his bar: he has a history with them. So he collects his meagre belongings and allows Serena to take him back to her apartment in the city, happy to be seduced by her compelling eroticism. Paris Murphy, her marriage in deep trouble, her father in intensive care, only pays half attention to the search for the missing men - 'Catch' and the robber. But her partner forces her to stick with the job and her intuition (and reckless willingness to use herself as bait) gradually come to the fore as they begin to unravel the evil web of violence surrounding Serene and Clancy.
