David Housewright, THE TAKING OF LIBBIE, SD
St. Martin's, $24.99 (unsigned first edition)
When PI Rushmore McKenzie is kidnapped and driven to a small town in South Dakota, he's scared, but when he finds out that the town government (not to mention a wide range of citizens) was bilked by a con man using McKenzie's identity, he's just mad. He's persuaded to look for justice for the town (not to mention himself), but when he finds signs that the con man is dead and the bodies start piling up, McKenzie realizes that the town has more problems than the council members' gullibility.

Irene Fleming, THE EDGE OF RUIN
St. Martin's, 24.99 (unsigned first edition)
In 1909, theater owner Adam Weiss decides to get into the new filmmaking business along with his wife, Emily. Now they've got business partners breathing down their necks and rival producer Thomas Edison chasing them out to New Jersey – where one of Edison's goons comes to their film set and winds up dead. When Adam is arrested for the murder, Emily is left to prove his innocence, finish the movies they'd already promised to make without drawing the wrath of Edison – and replace the lead actress.

The death of nine men in an unexpected mine flood isn't the first tragic accident for the people of a Kentucky town, and it won't be the last. But for safety inspector Will Murphy, the brother of the mine's owner, what should be a routine investigation turns into a chance to reestablish his reputation and to settle old scores – not just for Will, but for the rest of the town.
