Leo Bruce
Death at Hallows End
Pbk published June 2008 by Academy Chicago Publications at £8.50
ISBN: 0897335740
It was not so much a question of "who-done-it" as of "who-done-what." Respectable solicitors do not disappear every day, but Duncan Humby had vanished into thin air while on his way to prepare a new will for James Grossiter - a will in which the crotchety millionaire intended to dispossess all his relations and his manservant in favor of numerous charities.The death from a heart attack of Old Grossiter himself was too much of a coincidence for Carolus Deene, who was called upon to find the missing solicitor, and as he made his way to the remote village of Hallows End, where Humby's car has been seen and where Grossiter was staying, he had a strong feeling of sinister evil and danger...a feeling that was soon to be translated into horrible fact.

Seymour Shubin
The Man from Yesterday
Pbk published June 2008 by Academy Chicago Publications at £8.50
ISBN: 0897335759
Edgar Award - winning mystery writer Shubin pens a highly unusual suspense tale featuring retired Detective Jack Lehman, who finds himself drawn back to work after 15 years to investigate a half-million-dollar heist. The only problem is that no one really believes the heist actually occurred, and Lehman's friends and family doubt he is operating with all his faculties. Surely a crime of that magnitude would be reported somewhere. Worse yet, Lehman can't remember the name of his telephone informant, nor, for that matter, the name of the victim.This is an unusual novel seen through the eyes of a purported Alzheimer's victim, an exciting mystery/suspense story operating on at least two levels: as a psychological thriller and at the same time, one that provides insight into the problems facing an older adult.
