York’s favorite dancers is killed in a crowded high-tone speakeasy, everyone present becomes a suspect—and those that may have eluded questioning as well. It’s up to Inspector McKee of the NYPD to sift through the witness statements, separate fact from fiction, and put together a picture of the crime as it happened in order to discover what’s missing from the official narrative. And in the process, he’ll uncover a story that leads back into the past, with blackmail and stolen emeralds lurking in the shadows.… As McKee’s case comes into focus, a rich and confounding mystery plot is revealed, which will take all of the inspector’s resources to solve. Along the way, the inner workings of the New York City police department in the 1930s is on full display, including the line-ups, the radio room, the morgue, and the fingerprinting office—technologies that were at the cutting edge of the era’s fight against crime. Reissued for the first time eighty years, McKee of Centre Street is one of the first police procedurals ever written by a woman. The novel’s realistic New York setting and insightful view of police work was an instant hit with fans and its lead character went on to star in over thirty books.Joey Drew Studios Updated Employee Handbook: An AFK Book (Bendy)

Par Thomas H. Cook. 2002
Everyone has a breaking point . . . “Probably no other suspense writer takes readers as deeply into the heart of darkness as…
Cook.” —Chicago TribuneThere are no witnesses nor evidence to link him to the crime, but the police are sure that vagrant Albert Jay Smalls killed a child. Their interviews have led nowhere, but now—with a 6:00 a.m. deadline looming at which he must be released from custody—they will try one more interrogation. Detective Pierce, whose own daughter’s death has left a hole in his heart, and Detective Cohen, still broken from what he saw in World War II, will look into the abyss of Smalls’s troubled mind in a frantic last-ditch effort to extract a confession. Their effort will bring answers they never expected—and blur the line between innocence and guilt . . .“Cook adroitly weaves back and forth between the crime itself, the subsequent investigation and the halting questioning of the suspect. More compelling, however, is his portrayal of how the crime affects Pierce and Cohen, as well as several secondary characters . . . Down to the cleverly hatched, melancholy ending, Cook again takes readers down a dark, treacherous road into the heart of human fallibility and struggle.” —Publishers Weekly“[An] irresistible premise.” —Kirkus Reviews“Well-plotted . . . The psychic pain of these characters is piercing.” —The New York Times Book ReviewThe Fate of Katherine Carr: A Novel

As he grows obsessed with the mystery, he’s assigned to interview an orphan with a rare fatal disease, and the two become an unlikely team in their quest to learn the fate of Katherine Carr, in this emotionally compelling novel by a “master” and winner of the prestigious Edgar Award (Chicago Tribune). “[An] eerily poignant novel.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)“Every Thomas H. Cook novel is a subtle mind game, but The Fate of Katherine Carr is positively haunting.” —The New York Times Book Review“As much an investigation into character as it is a cold-case mystery.” —Booklist“Disturbing, psychologically complex . . . At each level, the novel ponders questions of good and evil, of guilt and retribution, and the power of storytelling itself.” —Associated PressPaper Cage: A novel

Par Timothy Zahn. 2018
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Grand Admiral Thrawn and Darth Vader team up against a threat to the Empire…
in this thrilling novel from bestselling author Timothy Zahn. &“I have sensed a disturbance in the Force.&” Ominous words under any circumstances, but all the more so when uttered by Emperor Palpatine. On Batuu, at the edge of the Unknown Regions, a threat to the Empire is taking root—its existence little more than a glimmer, its consequences as yet unknowable. But it is troubling enough to the Imperial leader to warrant investigation by his most powerful agents: ruthless enforcer Lord Vader and brilliant strategist Grand Admiral Thrawn. Fierce rivals for the Emperor&’s favor and outspoken adversaries on Imperial affairs—including the Death Star project—the formidable pair seem unlikely partners for such a crucial mission. But the Emperor knows it&’s not the first time Vader and Thrawn have joined forces. And there&’s more behind his royal command than either man suspects.In what seems like a lifetime ago, General Anakin Skywalker of the Galactic Republic and Commander Mitth&’raw&’nuruodo, officer of the Chiss Ascendancy, crossed paths for the first time. One on a desperate personal quest, the other with motives unknown . . . and undisclosed. But facing a gauntlet of dangers on a far-flung world, they forged an uneasy alliance—neither remotely aware of what his future held in store. Now, thrust together once more, they find themselves bound again for the planet where they once fought side by side. There they will be doubly challenged—by a test of their allegiance to the Empire . . . and by an enemy that threatens even their combined might. Praise for Thrawn: Alliances&“It&’s a science fiction beach read in the best way, brisk and amusing, with some cool additions to the Star Wars galaxy.&”—Den of Geek &“Like all of Zahn&’s novels set in a galaxy far, far away, it&’s an essential read for anyone looking for an artistically done adventure.&”—CNETThrawn: Treason (Star Wars: Thrawn #3)

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Grand Admiral Thrawn faces the ultimate test of his loyalty to the Empire in this…
epic Star Wars novel from bestselling author Timothy Zahn. &“If I were to serve the Empire, you would command my allegiance.&” Such was the promise Grand Admiral Thrawn made to Emperor Palpatine at their first meeting. Since then, Thrawn has been one of the Empire&’s most effective instruments, pursuing its enemies to the very edges of the known galaxy. But as keen a weapon as Thrawn has become, the Emperor dreams of something far more destructive. Now, as Thrawn&’s TIE defender program is halted in favor of Director Krennic&’s secret Death Star project, he realizes that the balance of power in the Empire is measured by more than just military acumen or tactical efficiency. Even the greatest intellect can hardly compete with the power to annihilate entire planets. As Thrawn works to secure his place in the Imperial hierarchy, his former protégé, Eli Vanto, returns with a dire warning about Thrawn&’s homeworld. Thrawn&’s mastery of strategy must guide him through an impossible choice: duty to the Chiss Ascendancy, or fealty to the Empire he has sworn to serve. Even if the right choice means committing treason.Praise for Thrawn: Treason&“Another excellent addition to the new canon . . . Thrawn: Treason will reward you thoroughly for your time.&”—GeekMom &“If you&’ve ever enjoyed a Thrawn story—whether that was Heir to the Empire and its sequels or Zahn&’s new novels—you&’ll find more of what you enjoy in Treason.&”—Dork Side of the ForceThe Mountains Wild: A Mystery (Maggie D'arcy Mysteries #1)
