Second Watch by J. A. Jance: Getting
old is hell. J. P. Beaumont is finally taking some time off to have
knee-replacement surgery. But instead of taking his mind off work, the
operation plunges him into one of the most perplexing and mind-blowing
mysteries he's ever faced. A series of dreams takes him back to his early days
on the force with the Seattle PD, and then even earlier, to his days in
Vietnam, reminding him of people and events he hasn't thought about in years.
Are they just drug-induced hallucinations? Beaumont isn't so sure. When tugging
on those threads from long ago leads to present-day murders, Beau's suspicions
are confirmed. Some bodies from the second watch just won't stay buried. A
masterful demonstration of J. A. Jance's superb craftsmanship, Second Watch is
a thought-provoking novel that is also a poignant look at one of the most
painful and divisive moments in our history—Vietnam—and a reminder of the
staggering cost of war and the debts we owe to those who served then . . . and
those who do now. Check Availability
W is for Wasted by Sue Grafton: Two dead
bodies changed the course of my life that fall. One of them I knew and the
other I'd never laid eyes on until I saw him in the morgue. The first was a
local PI of suspect reputation. He'd been gunned down near the beach at Santa
Teresa. It looked like a robbery gone bad. The other was on the beach six weeks
later. He'd been sleeping rough. Probably homeless. No identification. A slip
of paper with Millhone's name and number was in his pants pocket. The coroner
asked her to come to the morgue to see if she could ID him. Two seemingly
unrelated deaths, one a murder, the other apparently of natural causes. But as
Kinsey digs deeper into the mystery of the John Doe, some very strange linkages
begin to emerge. And before long at least one aspect is solved as Kinsey
literally finds the key to his identity. "And just like that," she
says, "the lid to Pandora's box flew open. It would take me another day
before I understood how many imps had been freed, but for the moment, I was
inordinately pleased with myself." In this multilayered tale, the surfaces
seem clear, but the underpinnings are full of betrayals, misunderstandings, and
outright murderous fraud. And Kinsey, through no fault of her own, is thoroughly
compromised. Check Availability
