INCOMING

• Bruce Marshall, The World, the Flesh, and Father Smith.  The story of an urban parish priest in Scotland from 1908 to 1942.  Some sources indicate that this is a fantasy along the lines of the author's Father Malachy's Miracle but it doesn't appear to be so.  The book was also published under the title All Glorious Within.  This copy has the author's inscription, signature, and the date taped to the inside; I assume this was on a cover letter sent to the original owner along with the book.
• Peter Robinson, Piece of My Heart.  A Chief Inspector Alan Banks mystery, the sixteenth novel in the series.  "Two murders separated by four decades are investigated by two very different but equally haunted investigators."  Peace. love, and rock and roll, baby.  This one was a finalist for both the Arthur Ellis and the Macavity Awards.
