Tragic by Robert K. Tanenbaum: Longshoremen’s union leader Charlie
Vitteli is like a cold-blooded villain straight out of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Vince Carlotta, the
union boss’s fiercest rival, has accused Vitteli of embezzlement, election
rigging, and other abuses—and even called him a crook at a union meeting. Now
Carlotta is just another corpse on the waterfront—allegedly gunned down by an
armed robber. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Vitteli is somehow
involved. But proving it is a whole
other story. Check Availability

Goodbye by Karen Robards: While on her evening run,

then she remembers an almost identical story told to her by a prisoner
incarcerated at Wallens Ridge. Drawing on her despised ability to communicate
with the newly dead, Charlie discovers a vicious serial killer is on the loose.

in his evil games, but then it becomes terrifyingly clear that he's much closer
than anyone realizes. Check Availability
