Steph Cha - Follow Her Home (St. Martin's Minotaur) April 16, 2013
Juniper
Song knows secrets–how to keep them and how to search them out. As
a girl, noir fiction was her favorite escape, and Philip Marlowe has
always been her literary idol. So when her friend Luke asks her to
investigate a possible affair between his father and a young
employee, Juniper (or "Song" as her friends call her) finds
an opportunity to play detective. Driving through L.A.'s side
streets, following leads, tailing suspects-it all appeals to Song's
romantic ideal of the noir hero. But when she's knocked out while
investigating a mysterious car and finds a body in her own trunk,
Song lurches back to the real L.A., becoming embroiled in a crime
that goes far beyond role play. What's more, this isn't the first
time Song has stuck her nose in other people's business. As she
fights to discover the truth about her friend's family, Song reveals
one of her own deeply hidden secrets, something dark and damaging,
urging her to see the current mystery through, to rectify the
mistakes of her past life.
A dazzling debut from fresh new
talent Steph Cha, featuring a strong, modern, sharply observant
heroine with an unforgettable voice, Follow
Her Home takes
readers through dangerous twists and turns, beyond the glittering
high-rises and freeways of L.A. on a case that will stay with them
long after the final page.

- A Murder at Rosamund's Gate (St.
Martin's Minotaur) April 2013
For
Lucy Campion, a seventeenth-century English chambermaid serving in
the household of the local magistrate, life is an endless repetition
of polishing pewter, emptying chamber pots, and dealing with other
household chores until a fellow servant is ruthlessly killed, and
someone she loves is wrongly arrested for the crime. In a time where
the accused are presumed guilty until proven innocent, lawyers aren't
permitted to defend their clients, and--if the plague doesn't kill
them first--public executions draw a large crowd of spectators, Lucy
knows she may never see this person alive again. Unless, that is, she
can identify the true murderer.
To
do this, Lucy ventures from her expected station and into raucous
printers' shops, secretive gypsy camps, the foul streets of London,
and even the bowels of Newgate prison on a trail that might lead her
straight into the arms of the killer.
In her debut novel, Susanna
Calkins seamlessly blends historical detail, romance, and mystery
into a moving and highly entertaining tale.
