.A beautiful Chinese American detective, recently transferred from Chinatown to the Upper West Side, is assigned a routine missing persons case…
A famous doctor returns home from a lecture to discover that his actress wife has been living a secret life…
. Now, the paths of the cop, the killer, and the psychiatrist are about to converge…
.A savage killer is on the loose in New York City. His calling card is a tattoo of flames; his trail of victims leads from the scorched sands of Californa tothe blistering heart of Manhattan. Only Detective April Woo can block this vicious madman’s next move. And with the help of psychiatrist Jason Frank, this NYPD policewoman will prove that the predator she’s hunting is no ordinary killer but then, April Woo is no ordinary cop.

Hanging Time

In an expensive boutique on New York’s Upper West Side, a young salesgirl is persuaded to open the door to her death. In the chaos of a police station, ambition and sexual politics raise the stakes of solving a vicious crime. In his office, a famed psychoanalyst hears a sister’s tale of emotional terrorism and madness. For April Woo and Jason Frank, suspense fiction’s most engrossing detective team, the clock is ticking on another brutal killing.

Loving Time

She barely escaped a deranged killer in ‘Hanging Time’, but now Chinese American police detective April Woo faces even more danger at a prestigious New York psychiatric center where someone is twisting love into something obsessive, sinister and deadly. Together with psychoanalyst Jason Frank, April is out to solve her most complex and disturbing case yet, where one man is tired of waiting for justice to prevail, and where others are literally dying for love.

Judging Time

The beautiful wife of a former pro football player is found dead alongside her husband’s best friend one viciously stabbed to death, the other a victim of an apparent heart attack. A manhunt is immediately launched, targeting the ex athlete, but Asian American NYPD Detective April Woo remains unconvinced of his guilt. With City Hall breathing down her neck, and a media onslaught spinning out of control, April must vindicate one man and prevent a killer from evading justice!.

Stealing Time

With her mastery of police procedure and unflinching take on race relations, Leslie Glass is one of today’s most original female suspense writers. April Woo’s investigation of a child’s disappearance in New York’s Chinatown takes a nasty turn when suspicion falls on the wealthy parents. The father is hostile, the mother is unconscious, the police are without a lead, and all the pressure is on April. The facts don’t add up and April’s only hope of cracking the case is to find the child’s real mother. Everyone involved is clearly hiding something, but is bound to silence by fear or guilt or both. With the reporters, her superior officers, and her own mother pressuring her, April is stuck in the middle of the kind of high profile case most cops despise the kind of case perfect for cool headed Sergeant Woo.

Tracking Time

It’s a foggy early September evening when Dr. Maslow Atkins, a psychoanalytic candidate and student, is assaulted and disappears in Central Park. The only people who know what happened to him are Pee Wee, an inebriated homeless man hoping for a handout; Brandy and David, two wealthy private school kids who roam the Internet and Central Park; and Allegra, Maslow’s disturbed young patient who’s obsessed with him. Investigating outside her jurisdiction of Midtown North and without authority in the sacred confines of the Central Park Precinct, NYPD Detective Sergeant April Woo prompts a media frenzy and the rage of the whole department with a K 9 search that yields nothing. Nothing, that is, except the keen interest of Brandy and David, who think they can tease the cops, bluff the tracking dog, and get away with murder. April’s gut instinct still tells her that Maslow is alive, and she won’t stop until she finds him. Working against the clock and demons of her own, she and psychoanalyst Dr. Jason Frank become embroiled in a surprising and lethal tangle of family secrets and adolescent rage. Nobody escapes unscathed, for no family’s story is as innocent as it seems.

NYPD Detective April Woo-the hero*ine of Leslie Glass’s Tracking Time, Stealing Time, and Judging Time-is back to solve the case of a serial killer who targets young New York City brides.

Over His Dead Body

In this delightfully infectious novel of love and intrigue, Leslie Glass puts a sly and sexy spin on two of life’s most devastating certainties: death and taxes. Cassandra Sales is a woman with a gift for nurturing things her husband, the successful wine importer; her two adult children; the fabulous flowers in her garden. After twenty six years of marriage, however, Cassie s husband, Mitch, is spending more time skipping abroad than remaining at home with her.

The surprise for her husband goes awry when Mitch returns home early from a business trip. When he sees the post op horror show, he collapses on the spot.

What she discovers about Mitch and the family business shocks her to the core: her loving husband was preparing to divorce her, swindle her out of tons of money, and run off with another woman. As Cassie recuperates, she realizes what she s after is revenge. Big time. But she soon learns that the road to retribution can lead to unforeseen and often deadly complications. In Over His Dead Body, Leslie Glass blends supreme suspense and warm hearted romantic comedy into a perfect m lange that is as inevitable as…
death and taxes. From the Hardcover edition.

For Love and Money

Successful stockbroker Annie Custer is the perfect working mom: Her only problems are her career and her domestic life. Impossible clients are driving her mad at work, while home is total chaos. Her burned out husband refuses to tackle anything more strenuous than his golf game. As for her two teenage daughters, one won t get out of bed, and the other is flunking out of school. And now Annie s housekeeper, Dina, the glue keeping them all together, has just quit.

When her best friend, Carol asks Annie to do a slightly illegal favor for Carol s eccentric parents, Annie reluctantly agrees and is swept into a family feud that proves to be as dangerous as it is cantankerous. Carol s father accuses Annie of stealing valuable assets, and soon Annie s job and family are at risk in ways she never could have imagined. Fraud, theft, and a possible cruel murder challenge her loyalties and threaten to change her life forever. Pitted against the shady side of the cutthroat brokerage business, Annie faces the ultimate betrayal from the friend she tried to help, her husband who still won t get off the golf course, her kids who still can t get their act together, and a younger lover…
who happens to be her boss.

Mystery Writers of America Presents The Blue Religion

Nineteen original stories including a new contribution by New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly about riveting showdowns between cops and criminals.

From Hawaii at the turn of the twentieth century to the post Civil War frontier, from smoggy Los Angeles to the woods of Idaho, these gripping stories trace the perils and occasional triumphs of lawmen and women who put themselves in harm’s way to face down the bad guys. Some of them even walk the edge of becoming bad guys themselves.

In T. Jefferson Parker’s ‘Skinhead Central,’ an ex cop and his wife find unexpected menace in the idyllic setting they have chosen for their retirement. In Alafair Burke’s ‘Winning,’ a female officer who is attacked in the line of duty must protect her own husband from his worst impulses. In Edward D. Hoch’s ‘Friday Night Luck,’ a wanna be cop blows his chance at a spot on the force and breaks his case. In Michael Connelly’s ‘Father’s Day,’ Harry Bosch faces one of his most emotionally trying cases, investigating a young boy’s death.
The magnificent and never before published Connelly story is alone worth the price of admission, and combined with 18 unexpected tales from crime’s modern masters makes this an unmissable collection.
