Models
Kristine Kathryn Rusch
Kendall Dee disappears on her first day as a professional hairdresser at a New York Fashion Week runway show. When she turns up murdered, her friend Corry Lindstrom decides to find out what happened. Because Corry, a professional fashion photographer, got Kendall the job in the first place. A job that put Kendall in a kind of danger no one expected. Chosen by the readers of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine as one of the top five stories of the year, “Models” takes place in a world not often seen by outsiders—a place where glamour gives way to sweat, and jealousy can lead to murder.
“Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s crime stories are exceptional, both in plot and in style.”

The Women of Whale Rock
Kristine Kathryn Rusch
Whale Rock’s sheriff, Dan Retsler, considers himself a practical man. But he has no explanation for the horrible deaths that take place on his beach. Nor does he know why so many locals fear the sea. The answer lies in legends of mermaids—not the pretty kind, but the kind that lure sailors to their deaths. Retsler doesn’t believe in them, but nothing quite explains the women he sees, near the beach when he investigates a friend’s sudden and tragic death.
Like early Ray Bradbury, Rusch has the ability to switch on a universal dark.

Kill Game:
A Cold Poker Gang Mystery
Dean Wesley Smith
USA Today bestselling author Dean Wesley Smith takes you into the world of his acclaimed novel Dead Money with a new series about a group of retired Las Vegas Police detectives playing poker and solving cold cases.
Retired Detective Bayard Lott hosts the weekly poker games at his home. The group calls themselves the Cold Poker Gang. And they succeed at closing old cases.
Lott’s very first homicide case as a brand-new detective had gone cold more than twenty years earlier. But retired Reno detective Julia Rogers, new to the Cold Poker Gang, suggests they look at that case again for personal reasons.
From that simple suggestion spins one of the strangest and most complicated murder mystery puzzles the gang has ever seen.
“Dean Wesley Smith does for poker what James Patterson does for serial killers.”
