 September always feels like the beginning of a new year, and we're excited to start things right with a packed schedule.
We will be closed Monday, September 6 for Labor Day. Then we'll be back, ready for our busy month!
We also want to congratulate our friends at Tyrus Books and Busted Flush, who announced last week that Tyrus is acquiring Busted Flush as a wholly owned subsidiary. The combined company will have published approximately 45 books this year, with another 20 already lined up for next spring. Good news!

Date Night with Crime!
  JAMES ELLROY discusses and signs THE HILLIKER CURSE: My Pursuit of Women
Knopf, $24.95
Don't miss this opportunity to hear the one-and-only James Ellroy discuss his second memoir, a companion to the gripping MY DARK PLACES. Ellroy's mother, Jean Hilliker, was murdered when he was only ten years old; convinced that his hatred sent her to her death, Ellroy writes that he has spent the rest of his life seeking "atonement in women." He spares himself nothing here, recounting love affairs, marriages, a nervous breakdown, and everything else that has brought him to where he is now. We are honored to have him, and can't wait to hear what he has to say.

  DEBORAH GRABIEN discusses and signs LONDON CALLING
Plus One Press, $16.99 (trade paperback original)
Guitarist JP Kincaid, in his third adventure, heads to London for a honeymoon with his new wife, Bree. They take a detour to France when legendary film director Sir Cedric Parmeley enters his 25–year–old rockumentary, Playing in the Dark, in the Cannes Film Festival, and asks Kincaid's band to perform nearby. The film Parmeley screens, however, is not the film the band approved, and includes evidence of an old hate crime that may still need to be redressed.

 A WRITING WORKSHOP with DENNIS PALUMBO, author of MIRROR IMAGE
Poisoned Pen hardcover, $24.95; simultaneous trade paperback, $14.95
Dennis Palumbo is a psychotherapist, former screenwriter (My Favorite Year) and novelist whose first book was the invaluable guide WRITING FROM THE INSIDE OUT: Transforming Your Psychological Blocks to Release the Writer Within. In lieu of a more traditional signing for his first novel, MIRROR IMAGE, Dennis has volunteered to run a short workshop for aspiring mystery writers, at no charge, right here at The Mystery Bookstore!
 MIRROR IMAGE is the first book in a new series featuring psychotherapist Dr. Daniel Rinaldi, who consults with the Pittsburgh police and treats victims of violent crime. One of Rinaldi's patients, Kevin Merrick, is a college student who starts behaving and dressing like Rinaldi – and then is found murdered. Was he the intended victim, or was it Dr. Rinaldi?
