Soul searching was an unfamiliar exercise to Bill Stratton, and he found it intriguing as well as painful. He hadn't had much occasion for it in his life, given that he was fairly shallow, but then, on the verge of his sixtieth birthday, his wife told him she was leaving him for another man. He'd been under the impression they had a happy marriage. She assured him that for nearly forty years, in fact since the second week of their honeymoon, she'd known she was married to the wrong person. This all came as a bit of a shock to Bill. Hence the soul searching. Brought up to be a responsible sort of chap, and hitting young adulthood just the wrong side of the sixties, Bill had not had much experience of dating (or sex, for that matter) before he met and married Andrea. Post menopausal dating might be very different to dating in your twenties or thirties, but then he didn't know much about either scene. Still, as a mildly famous television newsreader who'd managed to hold on to (most of) his looks, it seemed he was about to have plenty of opportunities to find out.

ISBN: 1592641091
Ron Martin strangles his girlfriend when she tries to break up with him; convinced by the blackening of the girl's reputation, a jury lets him off with the lightest sentence permitted by law. Outraged, the girl's father, Gerald Braun, explodes, and kills the boy. While many condemn the man for his act of vengeance, his rabbi Daniel Winter does not, defending his actions in court and appealing that he be released on bail. Shortly after Braun is released, another murder, far more shocking, takes place. Has the rabbi unleashed the anarchic tendencies hidden inside all of us? Joseph Telushkin's favourite sleuth reappears in this, the third volume of "The Rabbi Winter" Trilogy.

Pbk published March 2006 by Toby Press at £6.99
ISBN: 1592641598
Sheriff Kurt Muller, aging hippie, single father, and son of one of Aspen's founders, finds himself confronted by more than the usual tensions between the chic international celebrity jet set and the local community fighting the resort's enormous growth. A man is dead, his washed out body found in the Roaring Fork with a bullet hole behind one ear. A woman is missing, her handbag still hidden under Kurt Muller's Jeep seat. And the violence that is erupting around Aspen, violence laced with kinky sex, international politics, and local power, is leading Muller to the darkest truths a man can confront: about his past, about his family, and about another murder in the high Rocky Mountain air.
