JONES, SOLOMON
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
She’s a cop-turned defense lawyer. Her husband is a research scientist. She lives in a half-million-dollar home.
Yet on this night, Andrea Wilson—a woman who seemingly has everything—awakens to a living nightmare. Her
husband Paul is dead, she’s covered in his blood, and the police are banging on her door. Andrea doesn’t
remember what happened, but she knows how it looks. With just a split second to make a choice, Andrea
decides to run, and in doing so, risks everything in an attempt to clear her name. Enter Detective Mike Coletti.
He and Andrea shared a relationship once. Now all they share is the chase. As Andrea races to prove her
innocence and Coletti struggles to track her down, they each uncover clues about the mystery of Paul’s death.
Along the way, Andrea uncovers the biggest mystery of all: Is her husband actually still alive?

KRAJEWSKI, MAREK
Occupied Breslau, 1933: Two young women are found murdered on a train, scorpions writhing on their bodies,
an indecipherable note in an apparently oriental language nearby ...Police Inspector Eberhard Mock's weekly
assignation with two ladies of the night is interrupted as he is called to investigate. But uncovering the truth is no
straightforward matter in Breslau. The city is in the grip of the Gestapo, and has become a place where spies are
everywhere, corrupt ministers torture confessions from Jewish merchants, and Freemasons guard their secrets
with blackmail and violence. And as Mock and his young assistant Herbert Anwaldt plunge into the city's squalid
underbelly the case takes on a dark twist of the occult when the mysterious note seems to indicate a ritual killing
with roots in the Crusades ...
