Mike is an 18-year-old boy who shouldn’t be alive; by some miracle, he survived an unimaginable trauma ten years earlier. The tragedy left him mute, but he discovers an unexpected talent: he understands the secrets of any lock, whether it’s a gym locker padlock or a bank vault combination.... It’s a talent that draws the attention of some dangerous people, and Mike finds himself involved in a life he never wanted, desperate to figure out his way back to the life he dreams of. We love Steve Hamilton’s Alex McKnight series, but this standalone is a major step forward in his already-brilliant career.

El The Mystery Bookstore Published in the UK as TWELVE, THE GHOSTS OF BELFAST (Soho Crime, $25.00) has drawn raves on both sides of the Atlantic. Alcoholic Gerry Fegan, a former IRA assassin, is haunted by the ghosts of his victims. They want vengeance, and won’t leave Gerry alone until he’s tracked down every one of the people responsible f...or their deaths. As shocking and violent as a punch to the stomach, this is not only one of the year’s best debuts, it’s one of the year’s best novels. Don’t believe us? Publishers Weekly called it “stunning;” James Ellroy called it “the best first novel I’ve read in years;” and John Connolly says it is “one of the best Irish novels, of any genre, of recent times.”

El The Mystery Bookstore We were very impressed with Haas’ 2008 debut, THE SILVER BEAR, which introduced the inscrutable hit man Columbus, and this sequel is even better. After the shattering events of the first book, Columbus is regrouping in Europe, but finds himself fleeing assassins. Someone’s commissioned a hit on him, but who? The sec...ret is somewhere in his past, and his search for answers takes him to Italy, where he meets a mysterious woman who may have everything he’s looking for. Haas is also a screenwriter, whose credits include 3:10 to Yuma and the forthcoming film adaptation of The Matarese Circle.

El The Mystery Bookstore The Lena Jones series has gotten better with every book, and Library Journal just called DESERT LOST, the sixth entry, one of the five best mysteries of 2009. On a stakeout for vandals at a storage yard, Lena discovers the fresh corpse of a woman who wears the conservative clothing of a polygamous wife. She joins for...ces with Rosella, a former member of a polygamy cult, to find out who this woman was, and why she died. What Lena finds is a culture that discards, exiles, and even kills its young men — because if one man has ten wives, nine men have none.
One of Library Journal's "Best of 2009"!
