- Past lying / by McDermid, Val,author.;
"It's April 2020 and Edinburgh is in lockdown. It would seem like a strange time for a cold case to go hot--the streets all but empty, an hour's outdoor exercise the maximum allowed--but a mere pandemic doesn't mean crime takes a holiday. When a source at the National Library contacts DCI Karen Pirie's team about documents in the archive of a recently deceased crime novelist, it seems it's game on again. At the center of it, a novel: two crime novelists facing off over a chessboard. But it quickly emerges that their real-life competition is drawing blood. What unspools is a twisted game of betrayal and revenge, and as Karen and her team attempt to disentangle fact from fiction, it becomes clear that this case is more complicated than they ever imagined."--- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Novels.; Pirie, Karen (Fictitious character); Cold cases (Criminal investigation); COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020-; Murder; Novelists; Policewomen; Women detectives;

- Fall guy / by Mayor, Archer,author.;
"A high-end stolen car is discovered in Vermont. A car filled with stolen items from a far-flung two stage burglary spree. But it's what is in the trunk that brings Joe Gunther and his team from the Vermont Bureau of Investigation. In the trunk is the body of burglar in question - one Don Kalfus. Complicating matters, while the body was found in Vermont, it appears he was probably killed in the next state over, New Hampshire. The task force charged with finding out why Kalfus is murdered soon faces another problem. Within the pile of stolen cell phones found in the car is evidence of a notorious unsolved child abduction case from years earlier. Now the seemingly simple case has become more complicated and deadly, leading Gunther's team to be pulled from the New Hampshire coast to near the Canadian border as they attempt to find and capture the psychopath responsible for a tangled, historical web of misery, betrayal, and loss"--- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Novels.; Gunther, Joe (Fictitious character); Kidnapping; Murder; Police;

In the midst of boisterous and chaotic frontier pre-celebrations, Caleb Marlowe -- reluctantly deputized for the coming event -- learns that local power broker Judge Horace Patterson is targeted for assassination by agents of a financial magnate. Caleb's efforts to thwart the plan, however, are complicated when a ghost from his past shows up with the intention of blackmailing him. Elijah Starr, acting for a railroad robber baron, will use any ruthless method at his disposal to clear the way to control a planned rail line to be built through Elkhorn. Caleb is commissioned to bring Starr in to face justice after the assassination attempt, but he has his own burning agenda. Starr is his own father, the man who abused and murdered Caleb's mother.

- Pitch dark / by Doiron, Paul,author.;
"Game Warden Mike Bowditch must chase down a cunning and dangerous fugitive in the North Maine Woods in this nail-biter of a thriller from Edgar Award-nominated author Paul Doiron, Pitch Dark. Legendary bush pilot Josie Jonson can't believe her luck when a skilled builder just happens to show up after she purchases land near Prentiss Pond. All Mark Redmond asks in return for building Josie's dream cabin is that he be left alone to homeschool his 12-year-old daughter, Cady. For Maine game warden investigator Mike Bowditch, the intensity of Redmond's secretiveness is troubling, especially in light of suspicious criminal activity being reported around the area--including rumors of an armed man offering large sums of money in exchange for the location of Redmond and Cady. Josie, though hesitant to violate the trust of her prized builder, eventually agrees to fly Mike and his father-in-law Charley Stevens to the secluded pond in an attempt to protect Redmond and Cady. But hours after landing, the trip takes a dark turn when they witness a horrific murder and are taken captive themselves. Freeing himself, Mike is forced to set off through the impenetrable Maine forest towards Canada, alone and unarmed in pursuit of a mysterious fugitive. As he navigates a windblown landscape choked with deadfalls and blocked by swollen streams, he marvels at his enemy's bush craft. The killer possesses skills surpassing his own, and Bowditch can't tell if he is the cat or the mouse in this dangerous game. Can Mike Bowditch stop his adversary in time to save the life of a young girl, or will he be forced to watch another innocent soul die?"--- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Novels.; Bowditch, Mike; Bush pilots; Fathers and daughters; Fugitives from justice; Game wardens; Murder; Prisoners;

- The frozen people / by Griffiths, Elly,author.;
"Meet Ali Dawson: a police officer working on crimes so old, the joke goes, that they are not only cold but frozen. The team's office is in a grimy part of the city, yet Ali's work seems like a safe desk job. But what her friends -- and even her beloved son -- don't know is that the cold case team has a secret: they can travel back in time to look for evidence. So far, Ali has only made short trips to the recent past, so she's surprised when she's asked to investigate a murder in 1850. The killing has been pinned on an aristocratic patron of the arts and antiquities, and member of a sinister group called The Collectors. She arrives in the Victorian era during a mini ice age to find another dead woman at her feet and far too many unanswered questions. But when her son is arrested, Ali attempts to return home only to find herself trapped in 1850. In a race through and against time, can Ali prove her son's innocence and discover the link between the nineteenth-century Collectors and a twenty-first century killing in time to prevent another death? Some murders can't be solved in just one lifetime."--- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Novels.; Cold cases (Criminal investigation); Murder; Time travel; Women detectives;
