New Mysteries and Suspense
Chain of command by Caspar W. Weinberger.
Gregory Cowles - The New York Times:
What sets the book apart is its timeliness: not only does the new president trample on civil liberties in his zeal to wipe out terrorism, but there's an unexpectedly fastpaced subplot involving one senator's efforts to stage a filibuster. That all this comes from somebody with Weinberger's conservative credentials adds an extraliterary element to the already entertaining political machinations.
Cold granite by Stuart MacBride.
It's DS Logan McRae's first day back on the job after a year off on the sick, and it couldn't get much worse. Four-year-old David Reid's body is discovered in a ditch, strangled, mutilated and a long time dead. And he's only the first. There's a killer stalking the Granite City and the local media are baying for blood. If that wasn't enough, Logan also has to contend with a new boss, DI Insch, who doesn't suffer fools gladly and thinks everyone's a fool, and his own ex-girlfriend, the beautiful but chilly Isobel MacAlister, who also happens to be the chief pathologist. The only good news is WPC 'Ball Breaker' Watson, Logan's new guardian angel. The dead are piling up in the morgue almost as fast as the snow on the streets, and Logan knows time is running out. More children are going missing. More are going to die. If Logan isn't careful, he's going to end up joining them.
