They will also allow us some window displays not possible during our first 21!!! years at this location. (The Pen turns 31 on October 3.... hard to believe)

So we are removing the current bookshelves as pictured and offer them to anyone who might like one. One of our staff has already requested a shelf.

Please email john@poisonedpen.com if you are interested in reserving one. 

You will need to arrange to haul it away.

Mills discusses his new Mitch Rapp thriller Total Power (Atria $28.99)
Signed books in stock, on sale Tuesday

Our copies come with a unique Mitch Rapp holiday card for Poisoned Pen customers (since Total Power takes place on Christmas day)

In bestseller Mills 'suspenseful, strikingly original sixth Mitch Rapp novel the Russians activate sleeper agent Sonya Vance (real last name Voronova) and send her to the backwoods of West Virginia, where she meets John Alton, a power grid consultant for the U.S. government, who tells her he has the ability to shut down the entire U.S. power grid and keep it down for a year, maybe forever. 

After checking out Alton's   computer, Sonya reports back to Moscow that it's a workable plan and Alton wants nothing in payment. The Russians pass on the offer, but ISIS picks up the option. When the CIA gets wind of the plot, Mitch and his team set a trap for Alton, but the wily evil genius evades them and goes to ground, literally, in a carefully prepared underground shelter. Meanwhile, Alton unleashes his attack. "Mitch's hunt for Alton amid a devastated America in the throes of an epic disaster is as riveting as anything penned by Mitch's creator, Vince Flynn (1966-2013). Mills has really hit his stride."            

Out in paperback, a strangely prescient book you might have missed: Lethal Agent ($9.99). An unprecedented and terrifying bioterrorism plot threatens to kill millions in the midst of a divisive presidential election in this "gut punch of a tale that exploits our greatest fears."

Morrow discusses The Forger's Daughter (Grove $27)
Signed books in stock

In Morrow's sterling sequel to 2014's The Forgers ($14), the enviable life that erstwhile literary forger Will has painstakingly crafted since he survived a savage attack by criminal rival Henry Slader two decades earlier threatens to come crashing down.

One evening outside Will's farmhouse in New York's Hudson Valley, a spectral figure springs from the bushes with a package. Inside is what appears to be the rarest book in American literature-Edgar Allan Poe's Tamerlane and Other Poems-along with a letter from Slader asking for a meeting. 

When Will, now a beyond-reproach manuscript expert at a Manhattan auction house, meets Slader at a local tavern, his nemesis demands that he forge the Poe book or his most shameful secret will be exposed. Will feels he has no choice but to agree. What he doesn't realize is just how dangerous the gamble could prove for his family, especially for his coolly enigmatic 20-year-old daughter, Nicole, whose sublime artistic skills he will need in order to create the forgery on a letterpress. 

Evocatively rendered and emotionally resonant, this literary crime novel, a gothic tale bears comparison with Poe's own work. I think there is some slippery morality in this drama which is of course a delight for bibliophiles and Poe fans. And I look forward to what Otto has to say about his friend and author.

Walker discusses Don't Look for Me (St Martins $28)
Signed books available for both authors

This is a story driven by guilt, by self-blame, and by wrecked communications. It's a story of the aftermath of the death of a child. And it's also a story of hope, hope created by an event so traumatic it either breaks or heals the riven family. 

One night, Molly Clarke walked away from her life. She doesn't want to be found. Or at least, that's the story. The car abandoned miles from home. The note found at a nearby hotel. The shattered family that couldn't be put back together. They called it a "walk away." But is that what really happened to Molly Clarke when she went missing in the hurricane striking the heart of Connecticut?

"Wendy Walker has done it again, created a nail-biter that'll keep you up all night. This is so much more than a twisty thriller. It's a heartbreaking portrait of a family coping with grief and an insightful study of guilt and blame, gaslighting and agency. If you love fast-paced page-turners with relatable, flawed characters, look no further!" -- Angie Kim

Miranda, Megan. The Girl from Widow Hills (Simon Schuster $28.99). 

The Indie Next Pick: "How do you cope when the whole world knows your name and acts like they own a bit of your trauma story? Maybe you change your name, like Olivia does, and try to make a break from your past. Until one night when you find yourself sleepwalking. Like you did 20 years ago. And suddenly not only has your past caught up with you, it is legit stalking you. Now your secret is out, but there are even more deadly secrets hiding in the shadows. The final twists in this story are so sharp you'll check yourself for stab wounds!"

Lovett discusses Escaping Dreamland (Blackstone $26.99)
Signed books in stock

Our September Fantastic New Fiction Book of the Month sent me into a trance remembering all those childhood series I gobbled up. For me the Oz Books ruled, along with Narnia, Black Beauty, and some of the Syndicates like Nancy Drew. My mom still had some of The Bobbsey Twins which were fun and my uncle had preserved his Little Big Books including the amazing adventures of Flash Gordon on the Planet Ming. 

Lovett, who has written earlier books for book lovers, delves into the reading history of a blocked writer-The Hardy Boys, Tom Swift, some superheroes-who holds in some secret demons, one in particular that paralyzes him. He may lose his wife, his career. Can the way forward be to crack the mystery surrounding his favorite childhood series, The Tremendous Trio (fictional)? To do so he is guided by the fragment of a story back to 1906 Manhattan and a terrible steamboat tragedy. 

His efforts mesh with the stories of three youngsters sorting out their place at the dawn of the 20th Century. Magda, Gene, and Tom author The Tremendous Trio books as they explore the city from the Polo Grounds to Coney Island's Dreamland. It's a time jump structure, not time travel, marvelously atmospheric and nostalgic while at the same time not shirking hard truths and hard times.

Librarians play a role and so Fiona Davis, author of 
The Lions of Fifth Avenue (Dutton $27), joins us. Why not recall your own childhood favorites and post them in the FB comments?

Craig Johnson
Longmire!
Details for September 22
 
TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 22 6:00 PM
This is a Ticketed Event requiring the purchase of a copy of Craig's new book from The Poisoned Pen to receive the zoom invitation. Basically if you buy the book you get the invitation, it's not really a ticketed event in the formal sense.

Craig Johnson discusses his new Walt Longmire Next to Last Stand (Viking $27.99)

Special Guests will appear with Craig

Signed books available. Our copies of Next to Last Stand come with a special holiday season card featuring Craig and Judy at the ranch. It's really nifty. And there is a Longmire sort of truck in the picture.

I'll scare up a photo of the famous painting in the story....

And possibly ones I took at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West Museum in Cody, Wyoming, a crime scene for Walt, during our epic drive through Wyoming in May of 2018. Its archives of books, maps, and art are impressive and amazing!

Joanne Fluke
A live event!
Tuesday September 29
6:00 PM in our parking lot
NEW!! TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 29
Joanne Fluke presents Christmas Cupcake Murder (Kensington $22.95)

Fluke joins us for a socially distanced, masked, outdoor signing for her fans who can assemble in our parking lot. Admission to the signing line will require the purchase of the book. 

There will be a table of individually wrapped cupcakes. Plus Joanne is providing light-up champagne glasses for you to keep after you drink a bit of bubbly.

We will record a closed conversation with Fluke at 5:00 PM in our usual set up in the store so that her far flung fans can watch her discuss this new investigation then or later.

A few reminders

Perry, Anne. A Question of Betrayal (Ballantine $28)
Anne has signed a lovely personal letter to The Pen's customers and every copy gets one.

She will do another one, probably a Christmas card kind of thing, and a virtual event in November for her annual Christmas novella
A Christmas Resolution ($21) -- Celia and Detective Hooper


Pobi, Robert. Under Pressure (St Martins $26.99)

Robert let us know the bookplates he received in Toronto to sign for you came via Switzerland or some such but he has put them in the mail and with luck they will be here this week. This fabulous book, the second for unusual hero Dr. Lucas Page, is just a knockout. Start with City of Windows ($17).

Ware, Ruth. One by One (Gallery $27.99), a kind of locked-room French Alps spa mystery/thriller

So first I misled you, not Switzerland but the French Alps -- think
Val d'Isere

Second, it's not a beanie with a One by One design. It's a navy blue stocking cap (OK, you can wear it to the mall where the air conditioning is often freezing) suitable for skiing and such with a very nice design of the alps. Also we have a signed bookplate by Ware whose 6th international bestseller this is -- a variation on the locked room mystery.

Listen to the podcast or watch the video -- Ware's first but not last visit with The Pen. It's amazing.
