SUSPENSE MAGAZINE December 2014 / Vol Suspense, Mystery, Horror and Thriller Fiction DECEMBER 2014 Anthony Franze Talks Writing THE “BEST OF” With the Winner of the CRIMSON SCRIBE 2014 AWARD Holiday Reading With From Football Star to Drug Cartel STUART NEVILLE Part II of The All-American by JON LAND DOUGLAS PRESTON & LINCOLN CHILD PETER JAMES JAMES LEE BURKE Nelson DeMille Scott Turow 2015 ThrillerMaster 2014 ThrillerMaster Brenda Novak Charlaine Harris Greg Iles Mark Billingham 2014 Silver Bullet 2015 Spotlight 2015 Spotlight 2015 Spotlight Recipient Guest Guest Guest Events include: ThrillerFest•PitchFest Master CraftFest •CraftFest www.ThrillerFest.com From the Editor Well, here we are again. Another year has passed and that can only mean one thing: the release of our CREDITS Best of 2014. We have eleven categories with four John Raab President & Chairman books listed in each—except in Thriller/Suspense, where we listed ten. As we did last year, we asked Shannon Raab each author three questions or requested a quote, Creative Director and we received some wonderful responses in return. Romaine Reeves Now of course the big news is which book/ CFO author received the highly coveted Crimson Amy Lignor Scribe award. For those of you new to the magazine, the Crimson Scribe award is given to Editor only one each year crowning it as the best book of the year. Last year author M.J. Rose won with her book “Seduction.” This year, the award went to a debut author. It was difficult to Jim Thomsen only pick one winner, with so many books more-than-worthy books on the list. However, Copy Editor in the end only one book can win, and that was… (You didn’t really think I would tell you here, did you?) Contributors I could go on and on about the process of how we picked the winners, but really that Mark P. Sadler is a boring tale so what I thought would be far more fun is this: Susan Santangelo I was thinking: What if someone like Jack Reacher had to tangle with a real-life killer, DJ Weaver CK Webb could he handle it? Wouldn’t it be cool if Reacher had to put his skills to the test and solve Kiki Howell a crime that has remained unsolved for so many years? For example: What if Reacher Kaye George faced off against the Green River Killer? Could you imagine Reacher on the chase having Weldon Burge to find a guy that killed at least forty-eight people? This got me thinking of other beloved Ashley Wintters Scott Pearson heroes and pitting them against other real-life criminals: do you think they would be up D.P. Lyle M.D. to the task? Kathleen Heady 4. Jack the Ripper vs. Cotton Malone (from Malone creator Steve Berry). Here is the Stephen Brayton story line: Cotton finds a letter in an old dresser while visiting London. This letter contains Brian Blocker clues to the identity of Jack the Ripper. Except he wasn’t one man; he was a member of Andrew MacRae Val Conrad a secret society that was still alive today and will do anything to keep their identity safe. Melissa Dalton Could Cotton crack the case? Elliott Capon 3. The Black Dahlia murderer vs. Harry Bosch (from Bosch creator Michael Connelly). J.M. LeDuc Who better than Los Angeles’s own Harry Bosch to put his skills to the test and find the Holly Price Kari Wainwright elusive Black Dahlia murderer? If Harry Bosch was on the case back in 1947 would he be David Ingram able to do what hasn’t been done and bring the killer to justice? Jodi Hanson 2. The Zodiac Killer vs. Alex Cross (from Cross creator James Patterson). Alex has Susan May handled several killers in his time—the Mastermind, Casanova, and Gary Soneji, to name a Jenny Hilborne few. But is Alex up to the challenge of solving historical crimes? Set in Northern California Anthony J. Franze Kristin Centorcelli in the late ’60s and early ’70s, Alex would not have the benefit of current technology, so Jerry Zavada would his expert skills be able to grant the victims the justice they deserve? S.L. Menear 1. The Alphabet Killer vs. Lincoln Rhyme (from Rhyme creator Jeffery Deaver). From Leslie Borghini the Bone Collector to the Skin Collector, Lincoln Mary Lignor Julie Whiteley Rhyme has faced some of the worst of the worst, Sara Guisti but in his own backyard the Alphabet Killer is Jeff Ayers having some fun. Tell me you wouldn’t want to see Lincoln put his genius-level mind to the test and Customer Service and Subscriptions: bring down this killer.

    JULY 2015 POPULAR SCIENCE / HEALTH Giulia Enders Gut translated by the inside story of our body’s most under-rated organ David Shaw The key to living a happier, healthier life is inside us. Our gut is almost as important to us as our brain or our heart, yet we know very little about how it works. In Gut, Giulia Enders shows that rather than the utilitarian and — let’s be honest — somewhat embarrassing body part we imagine it to be, it is one of the most complex, important, and even miraculous parts of our anatomy. And scientists are only just discovering quite how much it has to offer; new research shows that gut bacteria can play a role in everything from obesity and allergies to Alzheimer’s.

Reliquary Douglas Preston , Lincoln Child Reliquary Douglas Preston , Lincoln Child Hidden deep beneath Manhattan lies a warren of tunnels, sewers, and galleries, mostly forgotten by those who walk the streets above. There lies the ultimate secret of the Museum Beast. When two grotesquely deformed skeletons are found deep in the mud off the Manhattan shoreline, museum curator Margo Green is called in to aid the investigation. Margo must once again team up with police lieutenant D'Agosta and FBI agent Pendergast, as well as the brilliant Dr. Frock, to try and solve the puzzle. The trail soon leads deep underground, where they will face the awakening of a slumbering nightmare.

Higher stakes, a more elaborate (and ridiculous) mystery, crazier science/pseudo- science…heck, it even threw in a Scooby-Doo-esque villain (“I’d have gotten away with it, too, if you meddling FBI geniuses with cloying southern accents hadn’t stopped me!”).

  • Sob Sisters: the Image of the Female Journalist in Popular Culture
    SOB SISTERS: THE IMAGE OF THE FEMALE JOURNALIST IN POPULAR CULTURE By Joe Saltzman Director, Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) Joe Saltzman 2003 The Image of the Female Journalist in Popular Culture revolves around a dichotomy never quite resolved. The female journalist faces an ongoing dilemma: How to incorporate the masculine traits of journalism essential for success – being aggressive, self-reliant, curious, tough, ambitious, cynical, cocky, unsympathetic – while still being the woman society would like her to be – compassionate, caring, loving, maternal, sympathetic. Female reporters and editors in fiction have fought to overcome this central contradiction throughout the 20th century and are still fighting the battle today. Not much early fiction featured newswomen. Before 1880, there were few newspaperwomen and only about five novels written about them.1 Some real-life newswomen were well known – Margaret Fuller, Nelly Bly (Elizabeth Cochrane), Annie Laurie (Winifred Sweet or Winifred Black), Jennie June (Jane Cunningham Croly) – but most female journalists were not permitted to write on important topics. Front-page assignments, politics, finance and sports were not usually given to women. Top newsroom positions were for men only. Novels and short stories of Victorian America offered the prejudices of the day: Newspaper work, like most work outside the home, was for men only. Women were supposed to marry, have children and stay home. To become a journalist, women had to have a good excuse – perhaps a dead husband and starving children. Those who did write articles from home kept it to themselves. Few admitted they wrote for a living. Women who tried to have both marriage and a career flirted with disaster.2 The professional woman of the period was usually educated, single, and middle or upper class.

Easily the worst Pendergast novelBy ScottI'm one of those tried and true Preston-Child fans. I've been reading their co-authored books since Relic was published in the mid-90's. I absolutely love the Pendergast series and I think Agent Pendergast is one of the absolute best detective characters who has ever been created in popular fiction.Be that as it may, this was not a good book. I don't know what happened to the boys on this one, but they struck out big time. "Jumped the shark" is the only phrase I can think of to describe this book. Pendergast discovers he had a son he didn't know about, and...wait for it!....the boy has an EVIL TWIN. In fact, they grew up in a secret Nazi enclave in South America where the Nazis were carrying out nefarious eugenics experiments on twins, creating a population of slave labor (the "regular" twins) and a population of super smart evil geniuses (the "enhanced" twins).The whole thing was just ridiculous and banal, totally unoriginal and over-the-top in the extreme.

  • Reading Groups Collection Multiple-Copy Titles Available for Loan Master List Revised May 2019
    Reading Groups Collection Multiple-Copy Titles Available for Loan Master list revised May 2019 Susan ABULHAWA - Mornings in Jenin (2011, 352 pages) Palestine, 1948. A mother clutches her six-month-old son as Israeli soldiers march through the village of Ein Hod. In a split second, her son is snatched from her arms and the fate of the Abulheja family is changed forever. Forced into a refugee camp in Jenin , the family struggles to rebuild their world. Their stories unfold through the eyes of the youngest sibling, Amal, the daughter born in the camp who will eventually find herself alone in the United States; the eldest son who loses everything in the struggle for freedom; the stolen son who grows up as an Israeli, becoming an enemy soldier to his own brother. Mornings in Jenin is a novel of love and loss, war and oppression, and heartbreak and hope, spanning five countries and four generations of one of the most intractable conflicts of our lifetime. Ayobami ADEBAYO - Stay with me (2017, 298 pages) Yejide is hoping for a miracle, for a child. It is all her husband wants, all her mother-in-law wants, and she has tried everything - arduous pilgrimages, medical consultations, dances with prophets, appeals to God. But when her in- laws insist upon a new wife, it is too much for Yejide to bear. It will lead to jealousy, betrayal and despair. Unravelling against the social and political turbulence of '80s Nigeria, Stay with Me sings with the voices, colours, joys and fears of its surroundings. Ayobami Adebayo weaves a devastating story of the fragility of married love, the undoing of family, the wretchedness of grief and the all-consuming bonds of motherhood.
