A New Crider Novel and Other Things

My Vacation is Over

My Feelings Are Mixed by Gerard the Library Director.

Fiction

Murder in the Air by Bill Crider. A Sheriff Dan Rhodes mystery. I do not know what the plot is. That doesn't matter, I'll read it anyway. I suppose wild hogs will be mentioned.

Cemetery Road by Gar Anthony Haywood. Handy returns to Los Angeles to attend his old friend's funeral. Handy thinks his pal's death is connected to a robbery they pulled 26 years ago.

Scarlet Nights by Jude Deveraux. A popular author.

Hangman by Faye Kellerman. Do all the Kellerman's ever get together and try to mix all their lead characters together?

Burn by Nevada Barr. An Anna Pigeon novel but with Pigeon on leave from the Park Service and visiting a friend in New Orleans.

Wolf's Bluff by W.D. Gagliani. Homicide cop - and werewolf - Nick Lupo has battled other werewolves before, killers who unlike Nick have no problem hunting human prey. So when a new series of savage animal attacks the area, Nick already has a suspect in mind...as he begins his surveillance, someone else is out there, watching them both. Someone with a very deadly plan. Someone who knows just what it takes to kill a werewolf.
I've spoken to Gagliani a couple times. He is a good dude.

NonFiction

Lies the Government Told You: myth, power, and deception in American history by Judge Andrew P. Napolitano. I never heard of Napolitano before I saw him on BookTV getting interviewed by Ralph Nader. Napolitano is a frequent guest on FOX News and leans to libertarianism. He lists 17 lies in his book, including: Judges are like umpires, We are winning the war on drugs, America has a free market, The Constitution applies in good times and in bad times.

Australian Radio

I'm listening to 6PR which is a talk radio station in Perth, Western Australia. They are currently discussing drinking problems in Perth. Coincidentally, they read a news item a few minutes ago about a guy who was at a Perth nightclub when his face was struck with a glass or bottle. The guy's arteries and veins were cut and he ended up with 80 stitches on his face.
