Absalom Abbie Kearney grew up an outsider in her own hometown. Even being the adopted daughter of a revered cop couldnt keep Abbies troubled past from making her a misfit in the working-class Irish American enclave of South Buffalo. And now, despite a Harvard degree and a police detectives badge, she still struggles to earn the respect and trust of those shes sworn to protect. But all that may change, once the killing starts. When Jimmy Ryans mangled corpse is found in a local church basement, this sadistic sacrilege sends a bone-deep chill through the winter-whipped city. It also seems to send a message--one that Abbie believes only the fiercely secretive citizens of the neighborhood known as the County understand. But in a town ruled by an old-world code of silence and secrecy, her search for answers is stonewalled at every turn, even by fellow cops. Only when Abbie finds a lead at the Gaelic Club, where war stories, gossip, and confidences flow as freely as the drink, do tongues begin to wag--with desperate warnings and dire threats. And when the killers mysterious calling card appears on her own doorstep, the hunt takes a shocking twist into her own familys past. As the grisly murders and grim revelations multiply, Abbie wages a chilling battle of wits with a maniac who sees into her soul, and she swears to expose the Countys hidden history--one bloody body at a time. With Black Irish, Stephen Talty stakes a place beside Jo Nesb, John Sandford, and Tana French on the cutting edge of psychological crime thrillers.

A former Shin-Bet agent now in exile in the U.S. and under the protection of the F.B.I., she works primarily as an interpreter. But Daria is a thrill junkie who cant resist the occasional freelance job as an operative--a habit that has left her with a trail of corpses behind her, and a few still living, very dangerous, high-powered enemies who would stop at nothing to get revenge. En route to an impromptu meeting with an old contact from her days in the Israeli Secret Service, Daria gets an unexpected and anonymous tipoff that shes about to walk into an ambush. Unsure who is after her, or why, she slips away from her followers and soon learns that shes been set up--and set up good. Someone has linked her to a much sought-after terrorist, and now all the resources of the U.S. intelligence community are being marshaled against her. As she tries to escape the ever-tightening snare laid out for her, someone else is using the operation against her as a distraction to hijack a very dangerous, highly guarded shipment.

A month has passed since the stunning defeat at Stalingrad. Though Hitler insists Germany is winning the war, commanders on the ground know better. Morale is low, discipline at risk. Now word has reached Berlin of a Red massacre of Polish officers in the Katyn Forest near Smolensk. If true, the message it would send to the troops is clear: Fight on or risk certain death. For once, both the Wehrmacht and Propaganda Minister Goebbels want the same thing: irrefutable evidence of this Russian atrocity. To the Wehrmacht, such proof will soften the reality of its own war crimes in the eyes of the victors. For Goebbels, such proof could turn the tide of war by destroying the Alliance, cutting Russia off from its western supply lines. Both parties agree that the ensuing investigation must be overseen by a professional trained in sifting evidence and interrogating witnesses. Anything that smells of incompetence or tampering will defeat their purposes. And so Bernie Gunther is dispatched to Smolensk, where truth is as much a victim of war as those poor dead Polish officers. Smolensk, March, 1943. Army Group Center is an enclave of Prussian aristocrats who have owned the Wehrmacht almost as long as they have owned their baronial estates, an officer class whose families have been intermarrying for generations. The wisecracking, rough-edged Gunther is not a good fit. He is, after all, a Berlin bull. But he has a far bigger concern than sharp elbows and supercilious stares, for somewhere in this mix is a cunning and savage killer who has left a trail of bloody victims. This is no psycho case. This is a man with motive enough to kill and skills enough to leave no trace of himself. Bad luck that in this war zone, such skills are two-a-penny. Somehow Bernie must put a face to this killer before he puts an end to Bernie. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1695750 Swagger becomes interested in exploring JFKs assassination, asking questions few have asked before. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1671095 Supervising an unrepentant alcoholic doctor who has been implicated in the death of a powerful Congressman, Dr. Lou Welcome uncovers a wealth of incriminating facts, including the doctors alleged affair with the victims wife, before stumbling on a high-level conspiracy that places Lous life at risk. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1753638 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1743936 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1742776 A dazzling young scientist runs for his life and searches for answers after being chased away by paramilitaries from an archeological dig where bones belonging to a puzzling, new species were discovered. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1715857 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1715753 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1712098 LAPD cop Max Kent is not doing so well.
