Bone white [sound recording] / by Malfi, Ronald Damienauthor.(CARDINAL)473420; Constant,narrator.; Tantor Media(CARDINAL)341284;

Narrated by Charles Constant.A landscape of frozen darkness punctuated by grim, gray days. The feeling like a buzz in your teeth. The scrape of bone on bone...Paul Gallo saw the report on the news: a mass murderer leading police to his victims' graves, in remote Dread's Hand, Alaska. It's not even a town; more like the bad memory of a town. The same bit of wilderness where his twin brother went missing a year ago. As the bodies are exhumed, Paul travels to Alaska to get closure and put his grief to rest. But the mystery is only beginning. What Paul finds are superstitious locals who talk of the devil stealing souls, and a line of wooden crosses to keep what's in the woods from coming out.

A flame in the wind of death : Abbott and Lowell Forensic Mysteries / by Danna, Jen J.(CARDINAL)403183; Vanderlaan, Ann.(CARDINAL)403184;

At Halloween, Salem, Massachusetts, is a hot spot for Witch and tourist alike. But when a murder spree begins, a cop and scientist must team up to find the killer before a media circus unleashes, panic ensues, and more victims are killed. Forensic anthropologist Matt Lowell and Massachusetts State Police Trooper Leigh Abbott are called in to investigate burned remains following a fire in a historic antique shop. As Matt, Leigh and their team of graduate students investigate the death, clues point to Salem's traditional Witchcraft community. However, having dabbled in the Craft as a teenager, Leigh is skeptical that someone who has sworn an oath of good to all and harm to none would commit premeditated murder, let alone kill in such a vicious way. A second body is found in a similar fire and the team begins to suspect that coven members are being framed. Now they must solve the murders before 100,000 tourists overrun Salem for what could be the deadliest Halloween of their lives.

Crime beat : a decade of covering cops and killers / by Connelly, Michael,1956-(CARDINAL)343339;

Includes bibliographical references and index.The cops -- The call -- The open territory -- Crossing the line -- Cops accused -- Death squad -- Killed by a kid -- The killers -- Killer on the run -- Dark disguise -- The stalker -- America's most wanted -- Wife killer -- The gang that couldn't shoot straight -- Evil until he dies -- The cases -- Nameless grave -- Double life -- Death of an heiress -- Hollywood homicide -- The family -- High time -- Lying in wait -- Trunk music -- Open-unsolved.From Connelly's first career as a prizewinning crime reporter--the true stories that inspired and informed his novels. Covering the homicide beat in Florida and Los Angeles in vivid, hard-hitting articles, Connelly leads the reader past the yellow police tape as he follows the investigators, the victims, their families and friends--and, of course, the killers--to tell the real stories of murder and its aftermath. Connelly's firsthand observations would lend inspiration to his novels, from The Black Echo, which was drawn from a real-life bank heist, to Trunk Music, based on an unsolved case of a man found in the trunk of his Rolls Royce. And the vital details of his best-known characters, both heroes and villains, would be drawn from the cops and killers he reported on: from loner detective Harry Bosch to the manipulative serial killer the Poet.--From publisher description.

Dust [audio-enabled device] / by Cornwell, Patricia Daniels.(CARDINAL)168784; Reading, Kate,narrator.(CARDINAL)529959; Playaway Digital Audio,issuing body.(CARDINAL)565887; Playaway Products, LLC,issuing body.(CARDINAL)868990;

Narrated by Kate Reading."The new Kay Scarpetta novel . . . . After working one of the worst mass killings in U.S. history, Scarpetta returns home to Cambridge, Massachusetts. Exhausted and ill, she's recovering at home when she receives an unsettling call. The body of a young woman has been discovered on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's rugby field. The victim, a graduate student named Gail Shipman, is oddly draped in ivory linen and posed in a way that is too deliberate to be the killer's first strike. A preliminary examination in the sea of red mud where the body has been left also reveals a bizarre residue that fluoresces blood red, emerald green and sapphire blue. Physical evidence links the case to a series of uniquely weird homicides in Washington, D.C., where Scarpetta's FBI husband has been deployed to help capture a serial killer dubbed the Capital Murderer. The cases all connect and yet seem to conflict. Gail Shipman was murdered for financial gain-or was she? It will require the usual ensemble of characters to find out the truth, including Scarpetta's sidekick Pete Marino, who has undergone a drastic change in his life that places him center stage in a Cambridge investigation that puts everyone at risk" --Issued on Playaway, a dedicated audio media player.

All the hidden truths / by Askew, Claire,1986-author.(CARDINAL)815402;

A wrenching, gripping, unforgettable debut crime novel. This is a fact: Ryan Summers walked into Three Rivers College and killed thirteen women, then himself. But no one can say why. The question is one that cries out to be answered - by Ryan's mother, Moira; by Ishbel, the mother of Abigail, the first victim; and by DI Helen Birch, put in charge of the case on her first day at her new job. But as the tabloids and the media swarm, as the families' secrets come out, as the world searches for someone to blame... the truth seems to vanish. A stunningly moving novel from an exciting new voice in crime, this novel will cause you to question your assumptions about the people you love, and reconsider how the world reacts to tragedy.
