    Bill Cameron - Chasing Smoke - Portland homicide detective Skin Kadash just wants to survive cancer treatment so he can get back to work. But when his partner tries to drag him into an unofficial investigation of a series of deaths, he's not interested -- he's dead-dog sick and doesn't need the grief -- until she tells him the victims all suffered from cancer themselves, and all shared one grim thing in common with Skin. His doctor. Author Julia Spencer-Fleming called it "a tour-de-force, New Century Noir at its finest. Fans of Michael Connelly will relish Cameron's colorful characters. Cameron writes mortality like no other. Watch this guy!

    Eric Stone - Flight of the Hornbill - In his third outing (after Grave Imports and The Living Room of the Dead), Ray Sharp is investigating a company involved in the funding of a major gold strike in Sumatra.
