BLEEDING EDGE
PYNCHON, THOMAS
It is 2001 in New York City, in the lull between the collapse of the dot-com boom and the terrible events of
September 11th. There may not be quite as much money around as there was at the height of the tech
bubble, but there’s no shortage of swindlers looking to grab a piece of what’s left. Maxine Tarnow is
running a nice little fraud investigation business on the Upper West Side, chasing down different kinds of
small-scale con artists. She used to be legally certified but her license got pulled a while back, which has
actually turned out to be a blessing because now she can follow her own code of ethics—carry a Beretta,
do business with sleazebags, hack into people’s bank accounts—without having too much guilt about any
of it. Otherwise, just your average working mom—two boys in elementary school, an off-and-on situation
with her sort of semi-ex-husband Horst, life as normal as it ever gets in the neighborhood—till Maxine
starts looking into the finances of a computer-security firm and its billionaire geek CEO, whereupon things
begin rapidly to jam onto the subway and head downtown. She soon finds herself mixed up with a drug
runner in an art deco motorboat, a professional nose obsessed with Hitler’s aftershave, a neoliberal
enforcer with footwear issues, plus elements of the Russian mob and various bloggers, hackers, code
monkeys, and entrepreneurs, some of whom begin to show up mysteriously dead. Foul play, of course.

BLOOD ON A SAINT
EMERY, ANNE
In the seventh book of the deftly written Collins-Burke Mystery series, Father Brennan Burke’s patience is
pushed to the limit when a young woman announces to the world that the Virgin Mary has appeared to
her in the churchyard, and hordes of pilgrims, souvenir hawkers, and reporters converge on the scene.
But, as unwelcome as these guests may be, they pale in comparison to yet another aggravation in Father
Burke’s life, a controversial talk show host who clashes with Burke upon arriving in town. Events take a
darker turn when a body is found at the apparition site, and the talk show host is picked up for the murder.
Monty and Brennan both have a stake in uncovering the truth about the murder, but neither man can talk
to the other about what he has learned, however, due to solicitor–client confidentiality on one side, the
seal of the confessional on the other.
