Denial: a Lew Fonesca mystery by Stuart M. Kaminsky.
Lew Fonesca is a man who does things for people. He makes small problems go away and tries to keep the larger ones from landing his clients in jail. He finds deadbeats, errant spouses, and generally keeps the populace of Sarasota on the up-and-up. Now Lew is faced with one case that will try his patience ... and another that may break his heart. The first involves an elderly woman who swears she's witnessed a murder in her old-age home despite the fact that everyone she tells her story to - her family, the hospital staff, and finally the cops - all tell her that it just couldn't have happened. The other has Lew trying to find out the identity of a hit-and-run driver who killed a fourteen-year-old boy. This task dredges up old memories and a lot of pain, for Lew fled Chicago years ago, after a drunk driver killed his beloved wife. As Lew begins to dig deeper into both cases, he finds that they are tied together in ways he can't hope to untangle. And when someone tries to run him down, Lew knows that he's getting close to some nasty home truths and he is going to have to get the answers if he is to survive.
Devil's corner by Lisa Scottoline.
When prosecutor Vicki Allegretti arrives at a rowhouse to meet a confidential informant, she finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time -- and is almost shot to death. She barely escapes with her life, but cannot save the two others gunned down before her disbelieving eyes. Stunned and heartbroken, Vicki tries to figure out how a routine meeting on a minor case became a double homicide.
Vicki's suspicions take her to Devil's Corner, a city neighborhood teetering on the brink of ruin -- thick with broken souls, innocent youth, and a scourge that preys on both. But the deeper Vicki probes, the more she becomes convinced that the murders weren't random and the killers were more ruthless than she thought.
When another murder thrusts Vicki together with an unlikely ally, she buckles up for a wild ride down a dangerous street -- and into the cross-hairs of a conspiracy as powerful as it is relentless.
Murder at midnight by Marshall Cook.
Newspaper editor Monona "Mo" Quinn (Murder over Easy) and husband Doug have fled big-time Chicago for rural Wisconsin, but she's now involved with her second murder in three months. Shortly before morning mass, the altar server finds Father O'Bannon dead in the sacristy-his throat slit and a cross carved into his chest. Motives seem nonexistent until news of O'Bannon's personal wealth hits the streets. Mo, however, leans toward his opposition to a proposed highway expansion as the motivating factor. As Mo searches for suspects-while still meeting deadlines-she uncovers the truth. Fans of small-town mysteries will enjoy the solid plotting, prose, and characterizations. -- Library Journal
