Kick off 2012 with a January full of notable fiction, including

The Confession: An Inspector Ian Rutledge Mystery [Charles Todd] - Todd explores the evils of the past in a tale that virtually weeps with malice and the inexplicable power of death.

The Whisperer [Donato Carrisi] - In his stunning thriller, Carrisi has created a masterful balance of good and evil, deftly shaded by the flawed humanity of those who seek to impose some order on crime and violence. The novel begins with the discovery of a series of small graves, each of which contains the severed left arm of a young girl.
