Aaron Elkins

AARON ELKINS new book Dying on the vine will be published on December 4th. On Friday, December 7th Aaron will be at the Carver Room for another great reading and signing, the only planned event for this book. This, the 18th Gideon Oliver novel, takes the man known throughout the world of forensic science as the Skeleton Detective to Tuscany, where he looks into the apparent murder-suicide of a strong-willed patriarch of a famous wine-making family, and his wife. After examining the remains, Gideon concludes that it's an unusual double homicide instead. The family and its confidantes had motive and opportunity. Soon Gideon finds himself in a morass of family antipathies, conflicts, and mistrust, to say nothing of the local carabinieri's resentment. And when yet another relation meets an unlikely end, it becomes bone-chillingly clear that the killer is far from finished...

Aaron Elkins reads from The Worst Thing.

Hart has other cozy series, but her most popular remains the "Death on Demand" series. Annie Laurance sells books and solves murders with equal flair at her small town bookstore, Death on Demand. In true cozy style, Annie's first brush with death causes her to become the prime suspect in the murder and, with the help of her friend Max Darling, she must solve the crime before she is arrested. Fans eagerly await the mystery-painting contest that starts each book, as puzzling out these clues is an added bonus for the true mystery buff. - Library Journal Death On Demand 1.

UNEASY RELATIONSOnce again we're very proud to host mystery author Aaron Elkins. The Edgar Award winning author of Old Bones, Loot, and Twenty Blue Devils, Elkins is a crowd-pleaser and a legend in the Northwest literary community. He returns with "Skeleton Detective" Gideon Oliver, whose case takes him to an unusual setting—the Rock of Gibraltar—where he inspects his oldest bones yet: the skeleton of a human woman clutching the skeleton of a part-human, part-Neanderthal child. Can deadly tricks and murder be far behind?
