Larsen signs Some Like It Hot (Saturday, May 25 at 12pm) It's a week before Thanksgiving. PI Cat DeLuca has tailed a client's husband and his lover to a Bridgeport pub where she snags the photos she needs to tie the finishing bow on another case. Cat sips her beer and is thinking about lunch when a man dressed as Santa Claus walks into the bar. He speaks briefly with the bartender and disappears behind doors designated Employees Only. Ten minutes later there's a commotion and Santa charges out. Santa's eyes meet Cat's and flash recognition. The man in the Santa suit is BillBonham, class clown from Cat's days at Bridgeport High School. ----Garret shoots a goofy grin and tweeks a thumb/pinky to his ear. Call me.
Bill (AKA Santa) was working a case when chased from the pub. His client is Lynn Leigh, a former bartender at O'Dwyer's Pub. Lynn left her job (and town) abruptly ten years ago after witnessing a murder. Soon Cat is involved in this investigation and calling on her past cases to get to the bottom of a case that leaves her wondering whether she likes the heat or should just get out of the kitchen.
“K.J. Larsen” is actually three sisters. Two of them, Kari and Juli, will be here to sign.

A law school drop-out, her father kept her close by making her the firm’s investigator. And she’s extremely good at that because she follows her own rules, whether it is dealing with the family, the cops, or Boston’s criminals – and, really, how can you tell the difference most of the time? But now one of her sister-in-laws has disappeared and everything Fina thought she understood about her world is altered. Adele recommends this debut.

(SeaMystery)… (more)Carl Hiaasen signs Bad Monkey (Saturday, June 22 at 1pm) Well, as usual, there really is no way to succinctly note a Hiaasen plot and this one is no different: a cop on Health Inspector duties who is hoping to get hired by the Key West department, a kinky medical examiner, a human arm in the freezer and the ‘twitchy’ widow of the owner, a vivacious voodoo witch, an idiotic and greedy developer and - oh yeah - a devious, talented and troublesome monkey. Sounds like the expected and standard Hiaasenian lunacy!
Please note: Carl will be here just one hour. We’ll have lots of reserves and we cannot guarantee that all of your older copies can all be signed. If you do want to get some signed, figure out ahead of time which ones are the most important to be signed.
And, of course, you must buy the new book here in order to get any older/new copies signed.

Once again, Joe will find himself hip-deep in sleaze - politicians, lobbyists and the power elite of DC.
