Levine, Paul False Dawn - 3rd Jake Lassiter Novel

3rd Jake Lassiter Novel. DJ Copy - Paul Levine, master craftsman of the courtroom mystery and bestselling author of To Speak for the Dead and Night Vision, pits his tough Miami trial lawyer Jake Lassiter against a seamy case of high-priced art thefts and low-rent murder. Jake could pick 'em all right. This time his client and sometime acquaintance Francisco Crespo not only confessed to the charge of murdering a fellow worker with a forklift, he supplied a preposterously detailed story as to how he did it. Crespo is lying, of course, and against his better judgment Jake Lassiter sets out to prove his sleazy client innocent. Crespo's boss is paying Lassiter's tab - but that's exactly where the trail leads, right into the lap of the incredibly rich Japanese art collector Matsuo Yagamata. With the help of velvet-eyed, high-tech P.I. Lourdes Soto, her fiercely anticommunist father, and retired coroner Charlie Riggs, Jake zeroes in on a theft ring of international proportions involving the CIA, a Japanese crimelord, Fidel Castro, and the new Russian Commonwealth. Through twisted revelations and bizarre deaths, ex-football jock turned trial lawyer Jake Lassiter follows a bloody trail from Miami to Havana - and back home again for an explosive finish. Once again, author of To Speak for the Dead and Night Vision Paul Levine redefines the thriller genre with False Dawn, a jolt of adrenaline sure to keep you turning pages until first light.

Matera,Lia Last Chants - 5th Willa Jansson Mystery
New York Simon & Schuster 1996 0684810859 / 9780684810850 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
5th Willa Jansson Mystery. DJ Copy - Attorney Willa Jansson is on her way to a new job at a firm specializing in very-nineties multimedia law. Battling rush-hour foot traffic on her way to her first day on the new job, Willa is sidetracked by the spectacle of a close, longtime family friend brandishing a gun on the street. She knows Arthur Kenna, the famous mythology scholar, too well to believe he means any harm, so when she spots a policeman running to arrest him, Willa acts on her instinct to "rescue" him. Pretending to be Arthur's hostage, Willa engineers their getaway through San Francisco's Financial District. Arthur explains to Willa that a passerby had pressed the gun into his hand, but she knows the police aren't likely to believe him, especially now that they think she's been taken hostage. And if they discover Willa is Arthur's friend, she'll no doubt be arrested as well. Worse, when a body turns up later the same morning and the police consider Arthur a prime suspect, to Willa's chagrin she and Arthur are forced to hide out in the mountain cabin of her old flame, Edward Hershey. Realizing that their only way out of hiding is to figure out who actually is responsible for the murder, Willa and Arthur enter a bizarre netherworld in which they meet high-tech software designers who claim that the murder victim was helping to develop a cybernetic shaman ... or was he performing shamanic psychiatry on a real computer nut? Barely eluding the police, Willa must cope with the "demigod Pan," survivalists in ersatz Indian abodes, and a host of other forest eccentrics - some of whom may be computer spies ... and one of whom is about to kill again.

McInerny, Ralph Mom & Dead : An Andrew Broom Mystery
New York, NY, U.S.A. Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing 1994 0689121814 / 9780689121814 First Edition Original Wraps Near Fine Galley/Proof
The fourth book in the Andrew Broom series.Unread. DJ Copy - From title page to final line, Mom and Dead shines with the irresistible humor and deft touch so loved by fans of Ralph McInerny. It also marks the return of successful lawyer Andrew Broom, who casts a watchful eye over the goings-on in Wyler, Indiana. Years ago Broom left the big city for the comforts of his native town. But being the top lawyer in Wyler isn't all fun and games. While the golfing is great, the outside world does intrude from time to time. And much to Broom's dismay, he's often the one to sweep everything up and sort it all out. Here, Broom finds himself confronting his old nemesis, Frank McGough, over the sale of property lying along the Tippecanoe River, just west of town. The potential buyers? Some shady out-of-town characters who are willing to pay a king's ransom for what the locals nostalgically think of as common land belonging to hunters, kids, and fishermen. Broom is skeptical of the deal, especially because McGough is involved. If McGough's clients have an interest in the river acres, then Broom is instinctively opposed to the sale. His suspicion deepens when a human skull turns up on the property. Remains from an old Indian burial ground, or something more ominous? A possible homicide is just the worst of Wyler's problems. There is also talk of drugs in the schools and even a growing movement to ban bingo. Nothing, it seems, is sacred. Veering from the local truck stop to the halls of the state legislature, Ralph McInerny takes us on a whirlwind adventure that involves a score of plot twists and diverse characters, each more pointedly depicted and brilliantly captured than the next. In short, a feast of devilish wit.
