In this magical mix-up of fairy tales and murder, Little Red Riding Hood solves the mystery at the heart of A Thousand and One Nights . . . How much power do stories have in the face of murder? Alchemist Red and her friends are hitting the road, this time to visit Red’s homeland–a distant desert island full of magic, history, and now, danger. They haven’t even reached their final destination before a mysterious body appears–and just as quickly, is gone! The last thing on Red’s family vacation agenda is getting mixed up with a murder and a fancy new Palace. But the local police need help, especially as the plot lines multiply: a reclusive heiress rumored to get rid of a secretary every moon, a local ifrit making perilous deals, a down-on-his luck newcomer jumping into the fray, and even a crew of shipwrecked sailors looking to change their fortune. Not to mention a decades-old cold case and a series of strange shipping deals! Red’s parents may be known for seeing the future, but what the island truly needs is practicality and clear sight in the present. Can Red reconcile with her past and realize her own unique gifts in time . . . or will this tale be too complex to solve?

Murder puts Lawrence Sanders’s Palm Beach PI in the prime suspect spotlight in the series “effortlessly written to be effortlessly enjoyed” (The Boston Globe). Hired to retrieve a client’s kiss-and-tell-all diary from her blackmailing ex-lover, Archy McNally doesn’t expect the mission to go awry. He makes the exchange easily enough, but as the Palm Beach private investigator returns to his sports car, he’s knocked out cold. When he wakes up, the diary is gone. Except it wasn’t a diary McNally was playing go-between to collect. It was the Holy Grail of lost literature—the original manuscript of Truman Capote’sAnswered Prayers. McNally will need some divine intervention of his own when he becomes the prime suspect in a homicide investigation headed by vampy, green-eyed blonde Georgia O’Hara. With everyone trying to seize the Capote opus, it’s up to McNally to write off a killer who’s waiting to close the book on him—permanently.

Eight years ago, readers were invited to accompany Maurice Locksley on his rounds, as he paid court to his wife, his ex-wife, and his mistress in dizzying succession. The Marriage Hearse, his account of that wild winter’s night, was judged “one of the funniest, smartest, and most generous novels about marriage from a male point of view.” (Phyllis Rose, The Nation) Now, eight years older in The Alibi Breakfast, Locksley is still “laugh-out-loud funny” (Bloomsbury Review) but not nearly so cocky as he contemplates the possibility that his riches are reduced to a single woman—or is it even worse than that? Duberstein’s prose is as rich, precise, and allusive as ever; the people in his “house” are as real as the people in your house (terrifying thought), and he weaves the varied strands of plot into a tale of rare depth and integrity.
