Imprint: Berkley, 2009 A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: At the start of O'Connell's atmospheric if overplotted stand-alone, former army CID warrant officer Oren Hobbs travels back to the small town of Coventry, Calif., where bones have begun to appear on the family property. Oren's father, a retired judge, is convinced they belong to Josh, Oren's 15-year- old brother, who vanished in the woods when Oren was 17. The town abounds in rumors as well as suspects, from a disfigured and reclusive ex-LAPD officer to a once beautiful hotel owner who may have had an affair with teenage Oren. When a grave is discovered in the woods, Oren is surprised that the broken bones belong not only to Josh but to an unknown woman. Determined to solve his brother's murder, Oren must face his own past and the real possibility that the killer might strike again., Fine Stock number: RWARE0000020988. ISBN: 9780425231050

Imprint: Tufts, 1999 Edward Gibbon said of the ancient Athenians, "when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free." America is the longest-lived democracy in the history of the world, but the re are signs that our own extraordinary system faces a similar peril. A vib rant civil society, characterized by active citizen participation, is essen tial to a strong democracy, argues Brian O'Connell, and in his new book he offers a citizen's guide to this concept of civil society -- what it is, ho w it functions, its limitations and potential, and most importantly, what i ndividuals can do to nurture and support it. It is designed to provide prac tical understanding and foster action among community and national leaders, including mayors, civic leaders, school boards, public administrators, ind ependent sector leaders, scholars, and teachers. Civil Society explores the idea and the reality of citizen participation, i ncluding government's essential responsibility to preserve the freedoms tha t allow and encourage it. It also traces the contemporary weakening of this tradition as a result of indifference, selfishness, loss of confidence in government, governmental limits on citizen participation, the influence of special interests on elected officials, separation between the haves and ha ve nots, intolerance and incivility. Founding president of INDEPENDENT SECTOR and first chairman of CIVICUS: Wor ld Alliance for Citizen Participation, Brian O'Connell draws on his extensi ve practical experience of civil society to outline concrete actions that c an improve the prospects of an enduring democracy, including:, Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000028655.

Kathleen Mallo ry, his adopted daughter and a policewoman assigned to office duty, is beau tiful, intelligent, fiercely independent, and obsessed with finding the kil ler. Mallory's computer skills supplement the street- survival savvy she lea rned before her adoption and the "wall" of clues and case details left by M arkowitz. All of this leads her to seances, magic acts, dysfunctional famil ies, insider trading, and, eventually, the knowledge her father had at his death. Mallory is the major, but not the only, complex and successfully rea lized character to emerge in this skillfull debut, which has the internatio nal publishing world's attention., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000016955.

Imprint: Warner Books, 1995 Like many of the old factory towns in New England, Quinsigamond has seen be tter days. Racial tensions, poverty, and crime are the day-to-day realities . Into this maelstrom of late 20th-century angst appear the "jammers"--radi o pirates whose irreverent subculture mocks the crumbling of the American d ream. This subterranean community is populated by citizens like the midget ballroom dance champs, a stuttering 15-year-old who dreams of conquering th e world via the power of his speech, and the mysterious Ronnie, whose Libid o Liveline call-in show makes her the object of jammer lust. A series of vi olent incidents by a deranged ex-FBI agent bent on righting this aberrant s ociety brings battle-hardened Detective Hannah Shaw on the scene to restore order. O'Connell ( Box Nine , Mysterious Pr., 1992) mixes colorful charact ers, a quirky plot, and plenty of action in this refreshing tale that will please the jaded reader., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000003316.

Imprint: Warner Books, 1998 A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Connelly follows up Trunk Music with a tautly paced, seductively involving thriller about a murder that is less random than it seems. Ex-FBI agent Terry McCaleb is recuperating from a heart transplant when beautiful Graciela Rivers walks up to his San Pedro houseboat, tells him that the donor of his new heart, her sister Gloria, was murdered in a convenience-store robbery and asks him to find the killer. Although his doctor warns him against it, McCaleb can't resist the case (any more than he could resist the serial-murder cases that caused his heart attack in the first place). With no license and little cooperation from the police, McCaleb reviews the evidence and connects a second murder to Gloria's killer. But it's only when he discovers that souvenirs have been taken from the victims that McCaleb realizes he is dealing with a type of killer with which he is all too familiar. Even working with seemingly shopworn material, Connelly produces fresh twists and turns, and, as usual, packs his plot with believable, logical surprises. He adds a moral twist by establishing a frightening bond between the hunter and the hunted, intimately connecting his detective to the criminal's guilt. Fans of Connelly's Harry Bosch novels will feel right at home with this beautifully constructed, powerfully resonating thriller, and newcomers will see right away what all the fuss has been about., Very Good+ Stock number: RWARE0000010577.

Imprint: Little, Brown, 2002 A crisp clean first edition (as stated) no markings throughout, not an ex- l ib edition: Harry Bosch is at the top of his form which is great news for Connelly fans who might have been wondering how much life the dour, haunted LAPD veteran had left in him. His latest adventure is as dark and angst-ridden as any of Bosch's past outings, but it also crackles with energy especially in the details of police procedure and internal politics that animate virtually every page. What other crime writer could make such dramatic use of the fact that the front door of a house trailer swings out rather than in, creating problems for a two-man team of detectives? Who else would create to such credible narrative effect an egotistic celebrity coroner who jeopardizes an investigation because she lets a TV camera crew from Court TV follow her around, or an overage female rookie cop so in love with danger that she commits an unthinkable act? When the bones of an abused 12-year-old boy who disappeared in 1980 turn up in the woods above Hollywood (near a street named Wonderland, where former governor Jerry Brown used to live), the case stirs up Bosch's memories of his own troubled childhood. Also, as his captain so aptly points out, Harry is the LAPD's prime "shit magnet," an investigator who attracts muck and trouble wherever he goes. So it's no great surprise when the investigation takes a couple of nasty turns, right up through the last chapter. Connelly is such a careful, quiet writer that he can slow down the story to sketch in some relatively minor characters a retired doctor, a couple who lived through their foster children without missing, Fine/Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000021443.

Imprint: Orion Paperbacks, 2002 Since his first appearance in 1992's Edgar-winning The Black Echo, Detectiv e Hieronymous "Harry" Bosch has joined Dennis Lehane's Patrick and Angie, G eorge Pelecanos's Derek Strange, and Greg Rucka's Atticus Kodiak in the pan theon of new-school hard-boiled detectives. Rather than giving Bosch a clev er gimmick (like Jeffery Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme, who is a quadriplegic), Mi chael Connelly embraces the noir archetype: Bosch, an L.A. homicide detecti ve, is a chain-smoking loner who refuses to play by his superiors' rules. A lthough he has quit smoking, Harry's still the same tightlipped outsider, t aking each crime as a personal affront as he tries to cleanse his beloved c ity of the darkness he sees engulfing it., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000022073.

Harry Bosch worked the case but couldn't crack it, and the twenty-two-year-old was never found. Now, more than a decade later, with the Gesto file still on his desk, Bosch gets a call from the District Attorney.A man accused of two heinous murders is willing to come clean about several others, including the killing of Marie Gesto. Taking the confession of the man he has sought-and hated-for thirteen years is bad enough. Discovering that he missed a clue back in 1993 that could have stopped nine other murders may just be the straw that breaks Harry Bosch. Read More Show Less, Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000025161.

Imprint: Harvill Secker, 2007 A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Teza once electrified the people of Burma with his protest songs against the dictatorship. Arrested by the Burmese secret police in the days of mass protest, he is seven years into a twenty-year sentence in solitary confinement, cut off from his family and contact with other prisoners. Enduring the harsh conditions with resourcefulness, Buddhist patience and humour, he searches for news and human connection in every being and object that is grudgingly allowed into his cell. Despite his isolation, Teza has a profound influence on the world of the cage. He inspires the conscience-ridden senior jailer to radical change. His very existence challenges the brutal authority of Handsome, the junior jailer. Even though his server, the criminal Sein Yun, sees compromising the singer as a ticket out of jail, Teza befriends him, risking falling into the trap of forbidden conversation, food and the most dangerous contraband of all, paper and pen. Lastly there's Little Brother, an orphan child growing up inside the walls. Teza and the boy are prisoners of different orders, but their extraordinary friendship frees both of them in utterly surprising ways. Overturning our expectations, Karen Connelly presents us with a mystifying world that celebrates the human spirit, and spirit itself, in the midst of injustice and violence., Good Stock number: RWARE0000024952.

Imprint: Pocket Star, 2003 After Every Dead Thing and Dark Hollow, Connolly's damaged P.I. Charlie Par ker is back in his third foray into an underworld populated with cruel vill ains and criminal psychopaths. Parker is a singularly tortured individual w ho not only sees dead people but feels compelled to seek retribution for th eir deaths on their behalf. This time around, he is hired to find the kille r of a graduate student who had been researching a fundamentalist sect that disappeared into the backwoods of Maine 40 years before. Parker's investig ations, ranging from Maine to New York City, draw the ire of some very bad people, who come after him armed with guns, Bibles, and spiders. The Dublin -based Connolly has again written a compelling story full of sadistic bad g uys, moral ambiguity, and some serious violence. But he manages to offset s ome of the unpleasantness with occasional one-liners that manage not to min imize the perversity but make the characters who must deal with it seem mor e human., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000016529.

Imprint: Random House, 2000 Ted Conover, the intrepid author of Coyotes, about the world of illegal Mex ican immigrants, spent a year as a prison guard at Sing Sing. Newjack, his account of that experience, is a milestone in American journalism: a book t hat casts new and unexpected light on this nation's prison crisis and sets a new standard for courageous, in-depth reporting. At the infamous Sing Sing, once a model prison but now New York State's mos t troubled maximum-security facility, Conover goes to work as a gallery off icer, working shifts in which he alone must supervise scores of violent inn er-city felons. He soon learns the impossibility of doing his job by the bo ok. What should he do when he feels the hair-raising tingle that tells him a fight is about to break out? When he loses a key in a tussle? When a pris oner punches him in the head? Little by little, he learns to walk the fine line between leniency and tyranny that distinguishes a good guard. Along the way, we meet a cast of characters that includes a tough but appea ling supervisor named Mama Cradle; a range of mentally ill prisoners, or "b ugs"; some of the jail's more flamboyant transvestites; and a philosophical , charismatic inmate who points out to Conover that the United States is bu ilding new prisons for future felons who are now only four and five years o ld. Conover also gives us a history of Sing Sing (it was built by inmates, and for decades was the nation's capital of capital punishment) in a chapte r that serves as a brilliant short course in America's penal system. With empathy and insight, Newjack tells the story of a harsh, hidden world and dramatizes the conflict betwee, Very Good/Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000032537. ISBN: 9780375501777
