Our December First Mystery Book of the Month
A wonderful and sneaky real estate scam in ski country

Hello

Our best to everyone who celebrated Martin Luther King Day and to those set for Chinese New Year, the Year of the Rat. And our prayers for everyone to stay healthy in the face of the new virus.

I've been noting reasons to shop with us here at The Pen. This quote from the new president of the American Booksellers Association is right on point:

"My new seatmate sat down next to me and we struck up a conversation and he asked me what I did for work, I said I'm a leader in a medium that changes the world every day.... I talked about the work we all do.... I told him that's my new job, to help ensure that the people, all of you carrying out the quiet revolutionary act to make the world better every day through books, bookselling and bookstores, continue to survive and thrive.""

Here at The Pen it was a super long weekend, as shown below

And we look forward next week to Tuesday when Lisa Gardner and Gregg Hurwitz debut their new thrillers here together; Joe Ide  joins us on January 30 with a new IQ; and Rhys Bowen debuts her latest at tea on February 1.

New videos for you now include debut thriller writer Chris Hauty, author of our January First Mystery Book of the Month,  Deep State (Atria $27)

Chad Dundas
Our Crime Collectors Book of the Month
Tonight  7:00 PM
THURSDAY JANUARY 23 7:00 PM
Chad Dundas  signs  The Blaze  (Putnam $26)

I didn't read Dundas' first novel Champion of the World ($16), a Best Book of 2016 by several counts. 

His second is a thriller I'd recommend to fans of T Jeff Parker's Roland Sinclair series. 

It's not coincidental that so many authors signing at The Pen earn Starred Reviews-we work to bring the very best to you. This novel, our January Crime Collectors Book of the Month, has earned 3: 

"Another brilliantly woven story about second chances from Montana native Dundas."-Booklist. And Kirkus says in its, "A wounded veteran and a strong newspaperwoman combine with a well-constructed plot to spin a plausible and engaging tale...This one wins far more on characters and danger than on bloodshed. Keep books like this coming, Chad Dundas."
            
Yes, Montana is rich territory for crime writers. 

And here's a full Starred Review for The Blaze: "Army veteran Matthew Rose, the hero of this exceptional thriller from Dundas, returns to his home town of Missoula, Montana, to settle the affairs of his estranged father, who recently committed suicide. Due to a brain injury Matthew suffered while stationed in Iraq, he has forgotten much of his childhood, including the falling out with his father, a poet and former community leader, and the breakup with his high school sweetheart, Georgie Porter, now a reporter who picks him up at the airport. Through Georgie, Matthew learns that he went from being a golden boy in academics and sports to being a withdrawn, unambitious teenager and a risk taker-a quality that he carried through to his military tour. Witnessing a house fire in which a college student is killed triggers Matthew's memory of another fire that happened 15 years earlier.... Dundas' insightful look at a former soldier's attempts to reenter civilian life elevates this poignant, action-packed story. The plot soars with each believable twist and realistic characters worth rooting for." 

Joseph Finder
Saturday 2:00 PM
SATURDAY JANUARY 25 2:00 PM
Joseph Finder  signs  House on Fire  (Dutton $28)

We have nifty match boxes to give out to purchasers of the book

Nick Heller, a kind of private eye/fixer, returns. Here's a Starred Review that sums up my take: 

"Nick Heller takes on big Pharma in Thriller Award-winner Finder's excellent fourth novel featuring the Boston PI. Sean Lenehan, who saved Heller's life when they were in Afghanistan as members of a Special Forces team, has died from an overdose of the painkiller Oxydone. At Lenehan's funeral, Heller is approached by Sukie Kimball, daughter of Conrad Kimball, the head of Kimball Pharma, which produces Oxydone. She explains that she attends the funerals of many of those who have died as a result of her family's product. Sukie hires Heller to find and steal the smoking gun that will bankrupt Kimball Pharma and send Conrad to prison-a study that demonstrated Oxydone's addictive nature suppressed before the drug was put on the market. Heller agrees. 

The stakes rise when he goes undercover as Sukie's boyfriend at Conrad's Katonah, N.Y., home, where a copy of the study might be hidden, and ends up investigating a murder. Fans of timely, thoughtful page-turners will be richly rewarded." 

Note: this is not a preachy book on opioids, it's a story fueled by Finder's tune-in to real issues.

SUNDAY JANUARY 26 2:00 PM Victorian Tea
Ann Parker  signs  Mortal Music  (Poisoned Pen $26.99/$15.99)

  "Set in 1881, Parker's exuberant sixth Silver Rush mystery A Dying Note ( $15.99) brims with fascinating period details, flamboyant characters, and surprising plot twists...Parker leaves the reader longing to see what Inez will get up to next." -PW. And here in Mortal Music is the answer. 

By 1881 San Francisco was transforming into the "Paris of the West." Robber barons have put up mansions on Nob Hill. The elegant Palace Hotel welcomes wealthy guests. Society is eager to patronize the arts, music, and the opera. The city is expanding outward while rough neighborhoods like the Barbary Coast still flourish. And San Francisco is a magnet for immigrants of all ranks and stripes. A diva, Theia Carrington Drake, has returned to the city for several high-profile holiday concerts. They may be her swan song for her husband and manager Graham Drake, newly-minted publisher of the San Francisco Times, is politically ambitious and desires his wife to become a suitable hostess.            

But first, her concerts. And the destruction of her dress. And the murder. Inez, using her capital to fund businesses run by women, mothering an orphan, has agreed to be Theia's accompanist and is sucked into the drama and the investigation....

Rosemary Simpson  signs  Death Brings a Shadow  (Kensington $26)

Partners in detection Prudence MacKenzie and ex-Pinkerton Geoffrey Hunter's latest case takes them from New York City to Bradford Island, off the coast of Georgia, where Prudence's friend Eleanor Dickson is to be married. However, when Eleanor is found drowned, Prudence and Geoffrey switch gears from wedding guests to professional investigators in order to find out who murdered the heiress. "Simpson neatly exploits the gothic possibilities of her isolated setting and delivers a nuanced look at an America struggling to adjust to transformative change."-Kirkus Reviews on the 4th in a Gilded Age series we enjoy.

A Few New Arrivals

SIGNED
Furst. Allan. Under Occupation (Random House $27)  Finally!

"Returning to one of his favorite subjects, Alan Furst examines life  in Nazi-occupied Paris through a quasi-doppelgänger: Paul Ricard, an accomplished writer of spy fiction. Facing writer's block, Ricard is presented with an unusual request from a Polish friend to get involved in the Resistance. Together, they manage to make contact with Polish slave laborers (who are actually engineers) in Germany to provide the Resistance - and eventually the English - with technical details and specimens of detonators and torpedoes. In 1942, with Paris gripped by war privations and the terror of the German SS, life was dark, difficult, and exhilarating, and Ricard takes to his assignments as if he had trained for them. Furst is the best writer of espionage fiction today."

Cummins, Jeanine. American Dirt (Flatiron $27.99). 

"A literary thriller chronicling the migration of a mother and her young son. Under threat, Lydia and Luca leave their middle-class life in Acapulco and begin a traumatic journey to the border, evading cartels, thieves, corrupt police, and others forced into malevolent behavior by extreme violence and poverty. For readers who enjoyed The Other Americans (Laila Lalami) and And the Mountains Echoed (Khaled Hosseini). " I strive to write page-turners because I love to read them, and it's been a long time since I turned pages as fast as I did with American Dirt. Its plot is tight, smart, and unpredictable. Its message is important and timely, but not political. Its characters are violent, compassionate, sadistic, fragile, and heroic. It is rich in authenticity. Its journey is a testament to the power of fear and hope and belief that there are more good people than bad." -John Grisham, endorsed by Stephen King. 

Signed for us on February 21 and our February Fantastic New Fiction Pick. There is controversy winging about as to whether Cummins is the one to tell this story, she not being Mexican nor a migrant, which is part of a whole thing about who can tell stories, heightened by this book being an Oprah and a Barnes & Noble Pick. We have a limited supply of first prints so secure yours while you can and we will hold it for signing on February 21.

Montgomery, Jess. The Hollows (St Martins $29). 

Rural Ohio in 1926 is much more Appalachian than Midwest as portrayed by Montgomery largely through the eyes of her widowed Bronwyn County Sheriff, Lily Ross, a woman struggling with the loss of her husband, the former sheriff KIA and raising her two children in Kinship while rising to the challenges of a job few think she can manage. Plus she is running for reelection. She has a strong support group in her mother and some of the Kinship women which makes the contrast to the elderly woman who dies falling from the Moonvale Hollow Tunnel to a glancing blow by a B&R Railroad train, and to other women in Kinship, both more poignant and ironic. The identity of the dead woman is a mystery and eventually leads Lily to The Hollows, a notorious local asylum. And to some amazing information. The number of surprises in this remarkable sequel to 2019 First Mystery Book of the Month The Widows ($9.99) is impressive, unexpected, and wow, ties into issues being reprised today without any preaching. I am deeply impressed and thus this is our January Historical Mystery of the Month. Yay!

Rowland, Laura. The Woman in the Veil (Crooked Lane $28). 

Sarah Bain, a London newspaper crime scene photographer, is assigned to take pictures of the corpse of a naked woman with a mutilated face. But as she prepares to take the photo, Sarah realizes the woman is breathing. Sarah's boss, Sir Gerald Mariner, thinks "Sleeping Beauty" would make a great story, and fortunately Sarah's fiancĂ©, DS Thomas Barrett, is on the case. Many claim to know Sleeping Beauty's identity, but Barrett quickly narrows the possibilities to three: artist August Legrand claims that she's his wife; Frances Oliphant insists the woman is her stepsister; 10-year-old Venetia Napier is sure the woman is her long-missing mother, Maude. When Sleeping Beauty finally awakes, she remembers...and Sarah learns that not all stories have a happy ending when one of the claimants is murdered. Is Sleeping Beauty really who she claimed to be? 

CAN BE SIGNED

Ide, Joe. Wrecked ($16.99). "Ide opens the third book in his blazing IQ series, with the novelist's equivalent of a stun gun... [IQ is] an appealing central character, propped up by a cast of crooks Elmore Leonard would envy... Ide is still the hottest of recently-emerged crime writers. He has populated Southern California with wildly entertaining characters, from those hinted at offstage to the motormouths whose priceless talk fills his pages."-Janet Maslin, New York Times. "Joe Ide is one of the hottest mystery novelists at work... the wonder of love, the cruelty of war, the black world he knows well, the music he loves-all the beauty and cruelty and craziness he filed away in his mind before he began writing these novels. With Wrecked, Ide confirms that he's among the most original new voices in today's crime fiction."-Patrick Anderson, Washington Post

Parker, Ann. A Dying Note ($15.99). Winner, Best of the West 2019, True West Magazine

It's autumn of 1881, and Inez Stannert, still the co-owner of Leadville, Colorado's Silver Queen saloon, is settled in San Francisco with her young ward, Antonia Gizzi. Inez has turned her business talents to managing a music store, hoping to eventually become an equal partner in the enterprise with the store's owner, a celebrated local violinist. Inez's carefully constructed life for herself and Antonia threatens to tumble about her ears when the badly beaten body of a young musician washes up on the filthy banks of San Francisco's Mission Creek canal. Inez and Antonia become entangled in the mystery of his death when the musician turns out to have ties to Leadville, ties that threaten to expose Inez's notorious past. And they aren't the only ones searching for answers. 

AND
Fogg, BJ. Tiny Habits (Houghton $28). 

Based on twenty years of research and Fogg's experience coaching more than 40,000 people, Tiny Habits cracks the code of dhabit formation. Willpower is fickle and finite, and exactly the wrong way to create habits. You transform your life by starting small and being flexible. With breakthrough discoveries in every chapter, you'll learn the simplest proven ways to transform your life. Fogg shows you how to feel good about your successes instead of bad about your failures. Whether you want to lose weight, de-stress, sleep better, or be more productive each day, Tiny Habits is coaching you to change.

Quartey, Kwei. The Missing American (Soho $25.95) launches an evocative new series starring Emma Djan, a young cop-turned-private eye in Accra, Ghana.  (Quartey, a physician in California, is a Ghanaian native.) 

She's in search of a widowed American who has vanished after being lured to Ghana by an online scam artist. Meanwhile, Djan also handles the (seemingly unrelated) assassination of an anti-corruption presidential candidate. "The adventures of a tenacious African female sleuth will likely ring bells for fans of Alexander McCall Smith's best-selling Mma. Precious Ramotswe mysteries. The Missing American 's unflinching portrayal of Ghanaian criminals, their fetish priest handlers and corruption at the highest levels makes this intriguing debut a more bracing antidote to its cozier cousin."- LA Times Book Review
Parking, Drinks & Dining
and a generous offer from Arcadia Farms Cafe
We suggest when you can you come early to The Pen (chairs go down around 5:00 PM or 1:00 PM for afternoon events), reserve your seat(s), and explore our vibrant Old Town Scottsdale neighborhood.


Parking is more difficult sometimes because of the restaurants (editorial comment -- the City of Scottsdale's parking policies suck!). We've given you locations beyond our parking lot. 
Search for them under Parking

Good News: Arcadia Farms Cafe has generously offered us its parking for evening events when needed. You can also park just south of our lot between the alley and Main Street.

One reason we don't have a cafe or bar in The Pen is there isn't enough dedicated parking to allow one.

Enjoy --there are all sorts of food and beverages on offer.
