Michael Seidman, Билл Пронзини0.0 Set in an isolated town in Northern California, A Wasteland of Strangers begins with the arrival of John Faith in Pomo. Who is he? Why has he come here now, during the off-season when there is nothing to do but get into trouble? What is it he wants? Everyone has an opinion of him, and only a few of them are favorable. For everyone he helps, there are two who question his motives, who see danger to themselves and their way of life in his continual presence in their town. And then, when a beautiful, lonely woman is brutally slaughtered after spending time with him, Faith is the prime and logical suspect. Discovering the identity of the killer becomes as important to Faith as to anyone else, except the murderer
Lr Wright0.0 The ninth and final book in the Karl Alberg series makes a wonderfully elegant end to the saga of the tiny town on Canada's "Sunshine Coast," the policeman who tries to catch the town's baddies, and the sensual, smart-mouthed librarian he loves. Alberg and Cassandra are at long last getting married - in fact, they're hitched by the end of the book - and Alberg has a new sergeant, a beautiful and enigmatic woman who seems destined, clearly, for her own series. But don't be fooled by all the sunshine: Sechelt harbors more dead bodies than any small town outside of Cabot Cove, and the serial killer who's busy knocking off the residents - and their children! - is one of the darkest characters in the Alberg canon. It's always hard to say goodbye, but this series ends on a brilliant and supremely satisfying note.
