Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
When notorious gangster 'Fat Sam' Mahood is murdered, the chief suspect is arrested nearby. But he seems to
have suffered a breakdown. Incarcerated in a mental institution, he's known only as the Man in the White Suit.
The suspect remains an enigma until Nurse Brenda calls on Mystery Man, former patient and owner of No Alibis,
Belfast's finest mystery bookshop, to bring his powers of investigation to bear...However, before our hero can
even begin, the Man in the White Suit is arrested for the murder of a fellow patient. But is he a double murderer
or a helpless scapegoat? Intrigue, conspiracy, and ancient Latin curses all combine to give the Small Bookseller
with No Name his most difficult case to date.

PATTERSON, JAMES & PEARSON, MARK
For Hannah Shapiro, a beautiful young American student, this particular nightmare began eight years ago in Los
Angeles, when Jack Morgan, owner of Private--the world's most exclusive detective agency--saved her from a
horrific death. She has fled her country, but can't flee her past. The terror has followed her to London, and now it
is down to former Royal Military Police Sergeant Dan Carter, head of Private London, to save her all over again.
In central London, young women are being abducted off the street. When the bodies are found some days later,
they have been mutilated in a particularly mysterious way. Dan Carter's ex-wife, DI Kirsty Webb, is involved in
the investigation and it looks likely that the two cases are gruesomely linked. Dan Carter drawn on the whole
resources of Private International in a desperate race against the odds. But the clock is ticking... Private may be
the largest and most technologically advanced detection agency in the world, but the one thing they don't have is
the one thing they need--time.
