  • Mark Gatiss, The Vesuvius Club.  A Lucifer Box novel, part mystery, part spy-guy, part really strange.

  • Susan Kandel, Dial H for Hitchcock.  Mystery.  The fifth outing for Cece Caruso, lover of vintage clothing and biography of mystery writers.  The earlier novels dealt with Erle Stanley Gardner, "Carolyn Keene," Dashiell Hammett, and Agatha Christie; although Hitch was not a mystery writer, per se, he's still fair game for this series.

  • Mickey Spillane & Max Allan Collins, Complex 90.  Mike Hammer heats up the Cold War when he takes on the Soviet Union.  Forty-five bodies later, he's back on U.S. soil.  That's when things get really dangerous.  I read this one as soon as I got it.  Great story!
