Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tranquility of the Pacific Northwest is interrupted by murder most foul in these two mysteries featuring the bookshop owner and amateur sleuth. Holliday Beach, Oregon, offers Conan Flagg the perfect change of pace from his days in Army Intelligence. But running the local bookshop and rental library is not without drama of its own—from local gossip to the occasional murder. Curiosity Didn’t Kill the Cat When Capt. Harold Jeffries is found dead clutching a copy of Crime and Punishment, his wife insists he was murdered—even if the police call it an accident. Conan is surprised to discover all the clues lead back to his own Dickensian establishment. With passing assistance from Meg, the bookstore cat, Flagg baits a trap to catch a rat—only to uncover a sinister scheme that reaches far beyond his lazy seaside village. A Multitude of Sins An Oregonian heiress and concert pianist wants Conan to find out who’s been following her. But she’s strangely quiet when asked for details of her father’s death. In fact, she declines to talk about the family at all. Conan soon realizes that just beneath his client’s reticence is a case as dangerous as dynamite. He thinks he knows who has the matches, but he can’t be sure. And proving it may just set it off.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these three mystery novels set on the Oregon coast, bookstore owner Conan Flagg moonlights in solving murders. Oh, Bury Me Not The feud between the McFalls and the Drinkwaters takes a deadly turn when someone dynamites a reservoir and George McFall is found dead at the site, apparently the victim of his own handiwork. George’s friend Conan Flagg suspects otherwise. Digging through both families’ secrets, Conan finds plenty of motives for murder, including revenge, romantic entanglements, and something frighteningly unnamable . . . Nothing’s Certain but Death When IRS auditor Eliot Nye is found murdered, no one is at a loss for a suspect. Nye had been investigating Brian Tally, owner of Surf House Restaurant, for tax fraud. He was last seen alive in an altercation at the Surf House where Tally swung at him. But bookstore owner and amateur detective Conan Flagg knows that any IRS auditor as persistent at Eliot is capable of making plenty of enemies . . . Seasons of Death Forty years ago, silver mine owner Leland Langtry ran off with his secretary and a small fortune in company funds. Or so everyone believed. When Langtry’s remains are found in a boarded-up mine, a jury pins the murder on his old partner Tom Starbuck—also long-since dead. But Tom’s widow, refusing to see her husband’s name ruined, hires Conan Flagg to dig up forty years of buried secrets to finally get at the truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these three mysteries set in a Pacific Northwest seaside town, a bookshop owner gets an extra dose of drama moonlighting as a private eye. Dead Matter When celebrated author Ravin Gould is murdered in Holliday Beach, the obvious suspect is Cady MacGill, who just so happens to be the sheriff’s son-in-law. Everyone, including Gould’s famous actress wife, heard Cady threaten the writer in the Holliday Beach Bookshop. But bookstore owner and PI Conan Flagg isn’t convinced. Not with an election for sheriff coming up. Not when a flock of publishing executives have descended on Holliday Beach, lured by the tell-all memoir that Gould just finished. Not when said book just vanished without a trace . . . Wake Up, Darlin’ Corey It seemed to Conan Flagg that the police were asking too few questions about the fatal automobile accident that killed his good friend Corey Benbow—especially since it’s common knowledge in Holliday Beach that more than one person stands to gain from her death. Now Flagg is asking questions of his own—like who had motive and opportunity to commit murder. King of the Mountain When conservative millionaire A. C. King hosts his annual house party at his mountain lodge, the air is tense with the presence of his beautiful second wife, the animosities of his two older sons, and the tippling of his flower-child daughter-in-law. But it is the unwelcome arrival of his youngest son, Lucas, with a new fiancée in tow, that is the true kiss of death. Even PI Conan Flagg, an old family friend, doesn’t foresee the sudden tragedy that leaves the party vulnerable to a cunning killer. As a blizzard seals their isolation, Conan attempts to identify the murderer among them before tragedy strikes again . . .

Book excerpt: “A poignant expression of the durability, grace, and potential of the human spirit” set in a post-nuclear dystopia where words are worth killing for (Jean M. Auel, author of the Earth’s Children series). By the late twenty-first century, civilization has nearly been destroyed by overpopulation, economic chaos, horrific disease, and a global war that brought a devastating nuclear winter. On the Oregon coast, two women—writer Mary Hope and painter Rachel Morrow—embark on an audacious project to help save future generations: the preservation of books, both their own and any they can find at nearby abandoned houses. For years, they labor in solitude. Then they encounter a young man who comes from a group of survivors in the South. They call their community the Ark. Rachel and Mary see the possibility of civilization rising again. But they realize with trepidation that the Arkites believe in only one book—the Judeo-Christian bible—and regard all other books as blasphemous. And those who go against the word of God must be cleansed from the Earth . . . In this “thought-provoking” novel of humanity, hope, and horror, M.K. Wren displays “her passionate concern with what gives life meaning (Library Journal).

Book excerpt: The third novel starring Montana's fly fisherman-cum-detective Sean Stranahan, for fans of C. J. Box and Craig Johnson Wolves howl as a riderless horse returns at sunset to the Culpepper Dude Ranch in the Madison Valley. The missing woman, Nanika Martinelli, is better known as the Fly Fishing Venus, a red-haired river guide who lures clients the way dry flies draw trout. As Sheriff Martha Ettinger follows hoof tracks in the snow, she finds one of the men who has fallen under the temptress’s spell impaled on the antler tine of a giant bull elk, a kill that’s been claimed by a wolf pack. An accident? If not, is the killer human or animal? With painter, fly fisherman, and sometimes private detective Sean Stranahan’s help, Ettinger will follow clues that point to an animal rights group called the Clan of the Three-Clawed Wolf and to their svengali master, whose eyes blaze with pagan fire. In their most dangerous adventure yet, Stranahan and Ettinger find themselves in the crossfire of wolf lovers, wolf haters, and a sister bent on revenge, and on the trail of an alpha male gone terribly wrong.

Book excerpt: An ex-cop takes on the mafia in the blockbuster novel that kicks off the Marseilles trilogy with what “may be the most lyrical hard-boiled writing yet” (The Nation). In Jean-Claude Izzo’s “Mediterranean noir” mysteries, the city of Marseilles is explosive, breathtakingly beautiful, and deadly. Total Chaos introduces readers to Fabio Montale, a disenchanted cop who turns his back on a police force marred by corruption and racism and, in the name of friendship, takes the fight against the mafia into his own hands. Ugo, Manu, and Fabio grew up together on the mean streets of Marseilles where friendship means everything. They promised to stay true to one another and swore that nothing would break their bond. But people and circumstances change. Ugo and Manu have been drawn into the criminal underworld of Europe’s toughest and most violent city. When Manu is murdered and Ugo returns from abroad to avenge his friend’s death, only to be killed himself, it is left to the third in this trio, Det. Fabio Montale, to ensure justice is done. Despite warnings from both his colleagues in law enforcement and his acquaintances in the underworld, Montale cannot forget the promise he once made Manu and Ugo. He’s going to find their killer no matter the consequences. “One of the masterpieces of modern noir.” —The Washington Post “Like the best noir writers—and make no mistake, he is among the best—Izzo not only has a keen eye for detail . . . but also digs deep into what makes men weep.” —Time Out New York “The holy grail of noir fiction . . . a fast paced and stylishly told modern tragedy.” —NB Magazine
