The Mayor’s Tongue is a bold, vertiginous debut novel that unfolds in two complementary narratives, one following a young man and the other an old man. The young man is Eugene Brentani, a devotee of the reclusive author and adventurer Constance Eakins, now living in Italy.

America's leading mystery writers are being brutally murdered. Third-tier author Guy Davitt—a would-be Dashiell Hammett—stumbles upon the killer’s bizarre M.O. (the deaths are lifted from mystery novels). But Davitt cannot convince deeply skeptical police a "Sleuth Slayer" actually exists. Through a dark labyrinth of film studio power brokers, publishing industry politics, as well as the dawning realization that he himself is on the killer's list—Davitt pursues the truth.
Sleuth Slayer
Jeffery Burton & Bruce Burton
One day a shell lands in a bread line and kills twenty-two people as the cellist watches from a window in his flat. He vows to sit in the hollow where the mortar fell and play Albinoni’s Adagio once a day for each of the twenty-two victims. The Adagio had been re-created from a fragment after the only extant score was firebombed in the Dresden Music Library, but the fact that it had been rebuilt by a different composer into something new and worthwhile gives the cellist hope.

Brothers Popovic
Stephen R. Roberts
Josip Popovic's widow was committed to getting her six sons out of the death spiral of the Croatian coalmines in the mid-1930s, and equally determined to get the family out of the impending devastation of WWII. With the prospects of being caught trying to leave Croatia the brothers divide into pairs to walk, ride and run from the country they love but can no longer survive. Capture would result in being sent to a Croatian concentration camp or to a sure death fighting on the frozen Russian front.
