LA PLANTE, LYNDA
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Still reeling from the death of her fiancé, Detective Anna Travis has thrown herself into her new role as detective
chief inspector in the city's murder squad. When a familiar court employee comes to the station, pleading for
Anna's help in locating his missing son, she directs him to the team in Missing Persons. But after weeks with no
leads, Detective Chief Superintendent James Langton, Anna's former lover turned friend, urges her to take the
case. She agrees to take charge of the investigation- only her second as DCI-under his watchful eye. But is it
purely a missing person case-or a full-blown murder inquiry? An ominous pool of blood and no victim lead Anna
on a desperate hunt for a man who has disappeared without a trace. As Anna becomes obsessed with
seemingly irrelevant details, James fears that she is losing control. They still have no body, and Anna is under
increasing pressure to make an arrest.

THE BLUE BOOK
KENNEDY, A.L.
Elizabeth Barber is crossing the Atlantic by liner with her perfectly adequate boyfriend, Derek, who might be
planning to propose. In fleeing the UK Elizabeth may also be in flight from her past and the charismatic Arthur,
once her partner in what she came to see as a series of crimes. Together they acted as fake mediums,
perfecting the arcane skills practiced by effective frauds. Elizabeth finally rejected what once seemed an
intoxicating game. Arthur continued his search for the right way to do wrong. He now subsidizes free closure for
the traumatized and dispossessed by preying on the super-rich. The pair still meet occasionally, for weekends of
sexual oblivion, but their affection lacerates as much as it consoles. Elizabeth hadn’t, however, expected the
other man on the boat. As her voyage progresses, Elizabeth’s past is revealed, and codes slowly form and break
as communication deepens. It’s time for her to discover who are the true deceivers and who are the truly
deceived.
