Death on the Patagonian express / by Conrad, Hy.;
"Upon the breakout success of the TrippyGirl blog, Amy Abel and her mother, Fanny, are asked to join a group of other prominent travel writers on a scenic train tour of Patagonia. Fanny welcomes the extra publicity, but it takes coaxing from suave tour owner Jorge O'Bannion to win Amy's commitment. Once in Argentina, their South American expedition seems to chug along smoothly--despite Fanny drinking way too much yerba mate tea. But while out snapping photos for TrippyGirl, Fanny makes a dreadful discovery--a body scavenged by condors in the wilderness. Even more unsettling, the corpse mysteriously disappears before the others arrive. Some question Fanny's sanity, but doubt becomes horror when Jorge's angel investor is found dead in a similar position. As a number of "accidents" validate Amy's suspicion of foul play, the Abels must outsmart one very conniving killer... or they'll soon be en route to their final destination--six feet under."--

Marlon Brando, Rod Steiger, Karl Malden, Lee J. Cobb, Pat Henning, Eva Marie Saint.Mob-connected union boss Johnny Friendly (Lee J. Cobb) rules the waterfront with an iron fist. The police know that he's been responsible for a number of murders, but witnesses play deaf and dumb ("plead D & D"). Washed-up boxer Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando) has had an errand-boy job because of the influence of his brother Charley, a crooked union lawyer (Rod Steiger). Witnessing one of Friendly's rub-outs, Terry is willing to keep his mouth shut until he meets the dead dockworker's sister, Edie (Eva Marie Saint). "Waterfront priest" Father Barry (Karl Malden) tells Terry that Edie's brother was killed because he was going to testify against boss Friendly before the crime commission. Because he could have intervened, but didn't, Terry feels somewhat responsible for the death. When Father Barry receives a beating from Friendly's goons, Terry is persuaded to cooperate with the commission.PG.Blu-ray disc (requires Blu-ray player for playback) ; full screen format (1.85:1 aspect ratio); 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, 5.1 DTS-HD Digital surround.

Dashing through the snowbirds / by Andrews, Donna,author.;
"Dashing Through the Snowbirds is the next merry installment of Donna Andrews's New York Times bestselling Meg Langslow mystery series. Christmas in Caerphilly is wonderful! Unless you're a Canadian whose inconsiderate boss is forcing you to spend the holiday there, far from family and friends, with only a slim chance of a white Christmas. Meg already has her hands full, trying to make the season festive for the dozen programmers who are staying with her and Michael while working on a rush project with her brother's software company. At least it's an interesting project, since the Canadian company is doing forensic genealogy and DNA analysis. When the inconsiderate boss is found murdered, there are too many suspects. Even before their Christmas in exile, his own employees had plenty of motives, and the growing number of people suing the company for faulty DNA analysis and invasion of their genetic privacy include at least one notorious murderer. Can Meg crack the case in time to keep the Yuletide bright?"--
