Latest Book Release
When businessman Tom Treadnor is shot dead inside The Queen Pub, it is one of few agreed upon facts about the man. As Richard Jury attempts to sort through the differing opinions about Treadnor, he finds that neither his widow, staff, or colleagues can be trusted.
Compounding his incertitude is the discovery of a dead-ringer for Treadnor, photographed in the United States. All the while, Wiggins, Jury’s partner at New Scotland Yard, sets off on a journey of his own: his long lost sister has just reestablished contact with the family.
Fast-paced, witty, and gripping, with a plot as unpredictable as its characters are familiar, The Red Queen marks a triumphant return after a six year absence for Mystery Writers of America Grand Master award winner and New York Times bestselling author Martha Grimes.

The Old Success
When the body of a French woman washes up on a wild inlet off the Cornish coast, Brian Macalvie, divisional commander with the Devon-Cornwall police is called in. Who could have killed this beautiful tourist, the only visible footprints nearby belonging to the two little girls who found her?
The Knowledge
London cab driver Robbie Parsons knows every street, every theater, every landmark in the city by heart. In the backseat of his classic black taxi is a man with a gun in his hand—a man who just a few minutes ago brazenly committed a crime in front of the Artemis Club, a rarefied art gallery-cum-casino, then jumped in and ordered Parsons to drive.
Hotel Paradise
A once-fashionable now fading resort hotel. A spinster aunt living in the attic. Dirt roads that lead to dead ends. A house full of secrets and old, dusty furnishings, uninhabited for almost half a century. A twelve-year-old girl with a passion for double-chocolate ice-cream sodas, and decaying lake-fronts, and an obsession with the death by drowning of another young girl, forty years before.
Dakota
In this stunning sequel to Grimes’s beloved Biting the Moon, young Andi Oliver is an amnesiac and drifter who awoke in a Santa Fe bed and breakfast with a man’s belongings tossed about the room.
