Bill Pronzini’s riveting western mystery, The Peaceful Valley Crime Wave, takes on the modern world with old-fashioned violence--and his Peaceful Valley is anything but... Nothing much happens in Peaceful Valley, Montana. And that’s just how Sheriff Lucas Monk likes it. Aside from the occasional drunken brawl or minor disturbance out on the reservation, he hasn’t had to resort to his fists or sidearm in years. That is, until mid-October, 1914, when the theft of a wooden cigar store Indian sets off a crime wave like nothing Lucas has ever seen. Teenager Charity Axthelm goes missing, Reba Purvis’s housekeeper is poisoned with cyanide Reba is sure was meant for her, and Lucas’s gut tells him that this is only the beginning. It’s not long before the first corpse shows up, bringing the peace in the valley to a thundering end.

Violence in the Valley is a book of short stories about unusual murders and other crimes investigated in the mid-Ohio Valley by the Parkersburg Police Department Detective Bureau, West Virginia State Police, and other agencies along the peaceful Ohio River from Wheeling to Huntington, West Virginia. The stories are about the early days of the detective bureau through the nineteen nineties and beyond involving cases of kidnapping, murder, organized crime, mob hits, decapitation murders, drug wars, and other crimes with an unusaul twist in many instances. They include the largest single family homicide in U.S. history, a mass shooting by a sniper, and contract murders involving drugs and revenge. A description of the crime rate in each decade gives an overview of the major cases that follow in detail.

Book Description
The title of Bread and Wine (Leb I Vino) derives from the old Bulgarian custom of hospitality to strangers; it is considered a great discourtesy if visitors to Bulgarian homes are not offered food and drink, and an even greater discourtesy if this offer is then turned down. “It was a lesson I quickly learned,” says Trefor, “and one that afforded me much pleasure, inspiration, and – I might add – several king-size hangovers!”Fans of short stories and Magical Realist fiction will enjoy this collection of stories, which range from those inspired by the dark and bloody history of the 500-year-long Ottoman occupation, the folk-lore and onto those reflecting modern-day Bulgarian life; an eclectic mix from bawdy comedy to psychological bleakness.

Book Description
Thomas Cook is one of today's most acclaimed writers of psychological thrillers, penning hypnotic tales of forbidden love and devastating secrets. Now he has written an unforgettable novel that weaves one man's tortured life with a deadly mystery that spans five decades.... Riverwood is an artists' community in the Hudson River valley, a serene place where writers can perfect their craft. But for all its beauty and isolation, it was once touched by a terrible crime--the murder of a teenage girl who lived on the estate fifty years ago. Faye Harrison's killer was never caught--and now her dying mother is desperate to learn the truth about her daughter's murder. Enter Paul Graves, a writer who draws upon the pain of his own tragic past to write haunting tales of mystery. Graves has been summoned to Riverwood for an unusual assignment: to apply the art of fiction to a crime that was real, and then write a story that will answer the questions that keep Faye's mother from a peaceful death. Just a story. It doesn't have to be true. Or does it?

Book Description
An antique hope chest, a forgotten wedding dress, and a packet of letters lead to a startling journey of love, tragedy, and self-discovery… Charlotte Truscott's meticulously planned life is up-ended when she finds a preserved wedding dress in an antique hope chest. With it, nestled among linens and forgotten heirlooms, is a packet of letters faded with age. The letters hold the words of a long-forgotten relative, a daring and spirited young woman who defied the conventions, comfort, and familiarity that Charlotte has always clung to. As Charlotte pursues a strong uncharacteristic desire to unravel the mysteries of her great-great-grandaunt's past, her own carefully constructed world begins to crumble. Her devotion to her father's corporate empire wavers when she discovers the Donnelly Cabin Inn and goes there to learn all she could about her relative's life. In the process, with the help of the handsome and compassionate Deputy Sheriff Joseph Murrieta, Charlotte begins to realize she has other choices to make for her own life. But then, as the tragic tale of her great aunt’s past unfolds, the lives of Charlotte and her long-lost relative become intertwined, as if led by a force transcending time. And Charlotte can't help but wonder if such echoes of her aunt's past--or her aunt's ghost--will guide her to a better future... or if they are a warning to her of dangers to come.
