Fiction
Border Lords by T. Jefferson Parker. Deputy Sheriff Charlie Hood is still assigned to the ATF task force in Southern California. An undercover agent has gone "black" and Charlie looks for him, wondering if his pal is overly dedicated or had his morals skewed. I'll bet Hood drives around a lot in his Camaro.
Inner Circle by Brad Meltzer. I have never read any of this guy's books but this thriller had a good review in either Library Journal or Booklist. Archivist in D.C. finds a book owned by George Washington and now bad guys are out to kill him. The bad guys are after the archivist not George Washington. Washington is already dead.
Clara and Mr. Tiffany by Susan Vreeland. Novelization of the gal who started making glass lampshades for Tiffany.
Sentry by Robert Crais. Joe Pike wears sunglasses and protects a family. The family is not what it appears. I don't think Hood and Pike would get along. But, Pike does not get along well with anybody but Elvis Cole. Robert Crais is going to be at Mystery One in Milwaukee on Sunday the 23rd. I don't think I'll be able to attend.
Crais is in Houston this Sunday the 16th. You going, Crider?
Crais was passing out Pike temporary tattoos on a previous tour. Here is the best use of one of the tattoos.

I probably can't make it. It's sure to be a full house without me, though.
