Book Description
Crispin Guest has solved many mysteries since losing his knighthood and becoming “The Tracker”, an investigator for hire in fourteenth century London. Yet when he witnesses a body fall from London bridge into the frigid waters of the Thames, he finds himself in the middle of a dangerous and complicated puzzle. The deceased was an armorer whose death officials rule to be a suicide, but Guest immediately sees evidence of foul play. During his investigation he runs into Sir Thomas Saunfayl, an old acquaintance from his knighthood days, frantically searching for the armorer. It seems the dead man was bargaining with Sir Thomas for the Spear of Longinus, the weapon used to pierce the side of Christ on the Cross, which grants invincibility to its owner. After his friend Geoffrey Chaucer arrives in London, all too eager to help find the spear and conduct clandestine meetings with powerful figures, Guest soon finds himself trying to solve a conundrum of many parts, all centered around the same dangerous and potent holy relic. With the spear now missing and more murders occurring, Guest, together with his loyal apprentice Jack, must use his sharp wiles to find it and piece together the truth in a world of political intrigue, treachery, and murder. With evocative period detail and an unforgettable cast of characters, Blood Lance is the exhilarating fifth volume in the Crispin Guest medieval noir mystery series. It was one of the “Top 10 Hot Crime Novels” for Fall 2012 selection at Kirkus Reviews.

Book Description
Vampire Nix Hadley wants nothing more than for everyone to forget he exists. He’s created a new life for himself far away from the bloody streets of the Melbourne feud that claimed the life of his family. Now a cellar door sales rep for a winery, he loves serving the tourists who visit, and he can always talk them into buying more than they planned with a little magic. This is the new start he needed…but he still sleeps badly, and he’s wary of trusting anyone. Lance Orlan has spent the last six months tracking down the male heir of the Hadley family. If he fails, he’ll never be blooded and turned into a full vampire. When Lance turns up at the winery where Nix works, he doesn’t recognize the man he’s been hunting. All he sees is a cute hipster. Where is the cold-blooded killer? The enemy has finally caught up with Nix. His life is about to come crashing down if he doesn’t do something. So Nix requests a truce. He’s tired of fighting and running and killing, but he needs time to make a new plan. For two weeks, he plans to keep Lance close—very close. And Lance agrees because he’s enjoyed the time away from the demands of his family. But the past is catching up and the old feud demands blood. As Lance gets to know Nix, though, he starts to question what he’s been told. Lance will have to choose between hate and love, and Nix will have to fight or surrender.

Book Description
British author Smith's so-so sequel to The Painted Messiah provides more of the backstory of a major character from the previous book, Lady Kate Kenyon. In 1997, 21-year-old Kate and her 37-year-old husband, Lord Robert, are honeymooning in the Swiss Alps. While attempting to climb the north face of the Eiger, the couple are attacked by two men, who push Robert off the mountain and almost do the same to Kate before she turns the tables on her assailants. Years later, Kate works with a former CIA agent, Thomas Malloy, to battle the Knights of the Holy Lance, conspirators somehow connected with the Blood Lance of the Cathars, a relic the Nazis also pursued. The truth behind the tragedy on the Eiger will shock few genre-savvy readers, who may also be bothered by some inexact detail (e.g., Malloy's fake State Department ID identifies him as a CPA, which is a professional certification, not a government title like senior auditor).
