The Man Who Knew Brecht

By: John C. Boland

The Lake Rehoboth Community in Connecticut--originally a Jewish summer camp now home to a mix of old-line Commies, red-diaper babies, and more recent Russian aemigraes--serves as the backdrop for this mystery. When the chairman of the community board, free-thinking former New York City shop teacher Ike Shapira, receives a fatal blow to the neck, the residents of Lake Rehoboth put on their sleuthing caps, notably board member Tamar Gillespie, but also obstreperous Orthodox Jew Harry Abramovitz and retired NYU philosophy professor Cubby Stone, producer of a redoubtable anti-Soviet play, which Fedya Kargman, an elderly Russian aemigrae, ambiguously compares to Brecht's The Measures Taken.

Last Island South

By: John C. Boland

Meggie Trevor's debut appearance in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine was nominated as 2009 Best Short Story by both the Private Eye Writers of America and the International Thriller Writers Association. Now in a book-length adventure, the novice Key West sleuth is so broke she'll take on any client who pays cash--and that includes a politically connnected old Conch named Hub Bennell, who's a target suddenly for gun-runners and feds alike. Meggie's CIA agent father is missing on the Gulf of Mexico. So is a yacht loaded with a deadly cargo. Too bad her client hasn't told her everything he knows . . . they both might live longer. John C. Boland's earlier novels, for St. Martin's Press and Pocket Books, were hailed as "sparkling" (Publishers Weekly), "tightly plotted" (Washington Times), "great fun" (USA Today), "wry, intelligent" (PW), and "trenchant, sly, and cerebral fun throughout" (Kirkus). His short fiction has appeared in national magazines for more than thirty years. Perfect Crime Books has also published a collection of Boland's shorter fiction, 30 YEARS IN THE PULPS, and the newest Meggie Trevor adventure, OUT OF HER DEPTH.

Rich Man's Blood

By: John C. Boland

Boland scores big with this tale of complicated money maneuvering and family strife" Kirkus Reviews. Richard Welles, youngest member of a prominent Maryland investment banking family, takes a sour pride in his knack for pressuring the firm's clients to reveal all they know about upcoming business deals. When a Gulf Coast company that provides boat service to offshore drilling platforms tilts toward bankruptcy, Welles discovers a hidden menace whose ultimate targets include his family and a colleague with whom he has fallen in love. "Intriguing . . . Boland] excels at rendering epiphanies and, more impressively, in the painstaking creation of a sympathetic character from a dense tangle of inner conflicts" Publishers Weekly. First paperback edition.

Hominid

By: John C. Boland

Starred Review, Publishers Weekly: "Superior science fiction thriller. . . . Boland's taut atmospherics are top-notch, and the evolutionary themes he explores are easily accessible to nonscientists." Mystery Scene review: "A riveting scientific suspense novel on the order of the popular Preston and Child thrillers. . . . Boland makes complicated theories about DNA and genetically linked illnesses easily understood. And in contrast to many science-heavy suspense novelists, Boland also has the ability to create three-dimensional characters. [The hero's] love life is a mess; Silas Merton, the island's mayor and only clergyman, is also the town drunk; . . . and even brutish Luther turns out to be much, much more than your average killer. . . . Hominid never fails to make for exciting reading." (Betty Webb) Kirkus said John C. Boland's DEATH IN JERUSALEM "roars along like a BMW in heat." Now Boland--two-time Shamus nominee and International Thriller Writers finalist--imagines a species-wide conflict in a fast-paced science thriller. Archaeologist David Isaac joins a team excavating a crypt on a remote island where a colonial-era family lies buried. By local lore, the family were "devils." The expedition's leader hopes to revive his career by proving they were murdered by neighbors in a burst of religious hysteria. But these cadavers harbor an older and deadlier secret. And nobody is prepared for what is about to emerge. Evolution is deadly.
