	1	CRIMINAL KABBALAH: AN INTRIGUING ANTHOLOGY OF JEWISH MYSTERY & DETECTIVE FICTION King, Laurie R. (Foreword) 2001 55667 From Publishers Weekly Does the world really need another anthology of Jewish mystery stories? Probably not on the other hand, who does it hurt? Following up on his similarly themed 1999 collection, Mystery Midrash, editor Raphael has persuaded a dozen mid-list mystery writers to search their souls (or their trunks) for stories that have something to do with Jewish religion or history or philosophy. The result is a decidedly mixed bag and one that doesn't contain much mystery. Three stories are about synagogues in trouble, helped out by one current and two former cops; two stories concern lawyers struggling with difficult clients; one is about a present-day therapist and another about an ancient Israelite judge. They range in interest from Stuart Kaminsky's fascinating look at a much-younger Abe Lieberman ("The Tenth Man") to Lev Raphael's weirdly intriguing "Your Papers, Please," which manages to combine homophobia, Jewish self-loathing and academic paranoia in a few short pages. A foreword by Laurie R. King should lure her fans. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. From Booklist This anthology, a sequel to Mystery Midrash (1999), features 12 new crime stories on Jewish themes by some well-known genre authors. The quality of the stories varies from Sandra Levy Ceren's rather unimaginative "Silver Is Better than Gold," in which a Jewish Chinese psychologist is told by one of her clients that he is a target for murder, to Stuart Kaminsky's compelling "Thy Brother's Blood," in which a neo-Nazi on Death Row leaves a Talmudic riddle for a lawyer who once defended him. Overall, the stories effectively combine Jewish content with the traditional conventions of detective fiction. Laurie King provides a clever foreword in which a fascinating connection is made between Jewish mysticism and crime writing, and editor Raphael's introduction offers perceptive commentary on the origins of mystery stories in Jewish literature. A useful collection of ethnic crime fiction. Ilene Cooper Copyright © American Library Association.

	2	Touchstone King, Laurie R. 2007 999110 Hailed for her rich and powerful works of psychological suspense as well as her New York Times bestselling mysteries, Laurie R. King now takes us to a remote cottage in Cornwall where a gripping tale of intrigue, terrorism, and explosive passions begins with a visit to a recluse upon whom the fate of an entire nation may rest-a man code-named . . . It's eight years after the Great War shattered Bennett Grey's life, leaving him with an excruciating sensitivity to the potential of human violence, and making social contact all but impossible. Once studied by British intelligence for his unique abilities, Grey has withdrawn from a rapidly changing world-until an American Bureau of Investigation agent comes to investigate for himself Grey's potential as a weapon in a vicious new kind of warfare. Agent Harris Stuyvesant desperately needs Grey's help entering a world where the rich and the radical exist side by side-a heady mix of the powerful and the celebrated, among whom lurks an enemy ready to strike a deadly blow at democracy on both sides of the Atlantic. Here, among a titled family whose servants dress in whimsical costumes and whose daughter conducts an open affair with a man who wants to bring down the government, Stuyvesant finds himself dangerously seduced by one woman and-even more dangerously-falling in love with another. And as he sifts through secrets divulged and kept, he uncovers the target of a horrifying conspiracy, and wonders if he can trust his touchstone, Grey, to reveal the most dangerous player of all .... Building to an astounding climax on an ancient English estate,Touchstone is both a harrowing thriller by a master of the genre and a thought-provoking exploration of the forces that drive history-and human destinies. Publishers Weekly Set shortly before Britain's disastrous General Strike of 1926, this stand-alone thriller from bestseller King (Keeping Watch) offers impeccable scholarship and the author's usual intelligent prose, but a surfeit of period detail and some weighty themes-the gulf between rich and poor, the insidious nature of both terrorism and the efforts to curb it-overpower the thin plot and stock characters. When Harris Stuyvesant, an investigator for the U.S. Justice Department, arrives in London to look for the mastermind behind a series of terrorist bombings on American soil, he tells Aldous Carstairs, a sinister government official, that his prime suspect is Labour Party leader Richard Bunsen. Carstairs suggests Stuyvesant should talk to Bennett Grey, whose brush with death during WWI has heightened his sense of perception to the point that he's a kind of human lie detector (he's the "touchstone" of the title), and to Lady Laura Hurleigh, Bunsen's lover and a passionate advocate of his brand of socialism. The threat of violence at a secret summit meeting held at the Hurleigh family's country house about preventing the strike provides some mild suspense. Nancy McNicol - Library Journal With this new stand-alone, King once again departs from escapades of her series detectives .Realistic psychological drama, strong research, and impeccable writing style make this a tale not to be missed. Highly recommended. Bantam Books 0-553-80355-7 / 9780553803556 Hardcover Very Good Condition New York, N.Y. Price: 24.26 USD
