Dear Irene,
Mass Market Paperback; Good
Still recovering from injuries sustained in her last murder investigation, reporter Irene Kelly dutifully hobbles back to work, only to get lured into another case of murder and mayhem. On her very first day back, Irene is "welcomed" by a threatening bit of fan mail from someone who calls himself "Thanatos" -- the ancient Greek name for "Death." Though Irene shrugs it off as a prank, she soon learns to take Thanatos at his word. As Thanatos's letters keep coming, each cleverly wrapped in mythological puzzles, the bodies mount -- as does the tension in southern California's beach community of Las Piernas. Unwilling to be a pawn in a killer's deadly game, Irene Kelly knows she must take action. Taunted by phone calls and deadly threats from a killer known only to her as Thanatos, Irene ignores warnings from her worried fiancé, homicide detective Frank Harriman, and embarks on her most dangerous case yet. As Irene unravels the clues to the case -- each one embedded in ancient riddles and mythic puzzles -- Thanatos watches her every move with a fascination that brings him too close for comfort. Yet Irene will stop at nothing to unveil the true identity of this genius of death, even if it means playing into the hands of a killer who is determined to make her part of his deadly destiny.

Flight
Mass Market Paperback; Good
A seat-of-the-pants thriller starring Detective Frank Harriman, Irene Kelly's stubborn, street-smart husband.... For ten years, Philip Lefebvre's name has been taboo in the Las Piernas Police Department. His brilliant police work led to the indictment of entrepreneur Whitney Dane for the murder of police commissioner Trent Randolph and his daughter. But shortly after the crime's only witness turned up dead, Lefebvre suddenly disappeared in a private plane. Vanished, too, was the material evidence that would convict Dane. The killer walked; and a warrant was issued for Lefebvre's arrest. But he was never found. Called to the scene of Lefebvre's crashed plane a decade later, Frank Harriman finds himself investigating the three initial murders and the apparent sabotage of Lefebvre's Cessna. Harriman's stunning forensic detective work together with Irene's relentless investigative powers reveal many enemies of the three murder victims... And suspicious links to the LPPD. As Harriman forges on, it becomes increasingly clear that justice has long been obstructed -- and that the perpetrators of the lie will try to stop him from revealing the truth by any means necessary.

Kidnapped
Paperback; Good
When Irene Kelly's articles profiling missing children run in the Las Piernas Express, she anticipates the renewed public interest and the deluge of phone tips and remembered clues; she even anticipates the renewed pain of the anguished parents. What she doesn't expect is that the articles will set off a murderous chain reaction -- and put her life in peril.Perhaps one of the more tragic disappearances in recent Las Piernas history was that of Jenny Fletcher, just shy of her fourth birthday. The body of Jenny's father, Richard, a graphic artist, was found bludgeoned in his studio; hours later Jenny's stepbrother Mason was apprehended with the murder weapon and bloody clothing in his car. But little Jenny was never found. As the years pass, everyone assumes Jenny is dead. Everyone except her brother Caleb, who not only believes Jenny survived but steadfastly believes in Mason's innocence.Caleb, now a graduate student studying with forensic anthropologist Ben Sheridan, works on cases for the Las Piernas Police Department. When bones are discovered at the old Sheffield estate just days after the missing-children articles appear, Caleb finds himself drawn into a case that threatens to bring personal tragedies back to the present. He has a fierce ally in reporter Irene Kelly, who will stop at nothing to solve the mysteries of his father's murder and his sister's disappearance.

Nine
Mass Market Paperback; Good
When a brutal felon on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list turns up dead in Los Angeles County, few mourn him; in fact, the public begins to cheer his unknown assailants as heroes. But as more brutalized corpses of fugitive outlaws are found, Sheriff's Homicide Detective Alex Brandon knows that the vigilante group the public has nicknamed The Exterminators may be far more ruthless and sadistic than its victims. The corpses bear eerie similarities to victims of a serial killer investigated by Brandon ten years ago. The perpetrator died at the hands of his own deeply traumatized teenaged stepson, Kit Logan. Logan, protected by his wealthy family, never spent a day in jail; instead, he was sent to a private reform school for the truant sons of L. A. 's most affluent. Alex Brandon, unable to locate Logan for questioning, has a chilling sense he is being manipulated. But why? A terrifying novel that asks what happens when justice is no longer enough, NINE introduces an unforgettable protagonist. A modern morality tale, it is another captivating gem from an acclaimed master of mystery and suspense.

Remember Me, Irene
Mass Market Paperback; Good
I'M NOT WHO I USED TO BE...The remark, whispered by a stranger on the street to Irene Kelly, becomes all the more unnerving when the newswoman realizes she knows the man. He's Lucas Monroe, her former college instructor who had looked forward to a brilliant future. Now he's a derelict in hiding, an unlikely suspect in blackmail and murder. What happened to Monroe's life strikes Irene as bizarre. But it's what happens to him in death that fills her with dread. Her long-lost mentor is found murdered, and whatever the picturesque town of Las Piernas is hiding has made some people very rich, very guilty, and very dangerous.

Sweet Dreams, Irene
Mass Market Paperback; Good
Intrepid reporter and amateur sleuth Irene Kelly is back on her second case. Irene Kelly is a heroine as likable as she is clever, and as unpredictable as she is hardheaded. She is a newswoman who always gets her story and who never loses her sense of humor along the way. Irene proved she had all the right stuff when she solved a decades-old murder like a master and found love on the run with detective Frank Harriman. Now, Irene, things are hotter than ever -- at work, with Frank, and in the murder business. Irene's latest assignment is to cover the fierce and heated rivalry between district attorney candidates Brian Henderson and Monty Montgomery. It's a politically corrupt race that causes mayhem -- and murder -- in the ordinarily quiet beach community of Las Piernas, California. When Irene agrees to help the teenage son of Brian Henderson scotch the latest in a string of malicious smear tactics, she has no idea that the innocent favor could very well cost her her life. Monty Montgomery is digging deeper than usual into his bag of political dirty tricks, this time using Henderson's own son to bring down his opponent. Montgomery plans to show a damning photograph suggesting that young Henderson belongs to a satanic cult with ties to the local youth center. Although Irene at first dismisses the cult as "kid stuff," soon a terrifying series of events -- including murder -- convinces her there is more than child's play at work: There is a cold-blooded murderer on the loose. Determined to discover whether the rash of treacherous "pranks" is connected to the embittered political race, Irene embarks upon an investigation that lands her directly in the killer's line of fire.
