Morales is being retried for the rape and murder of his mistress, Mariah Dodge. Estrada knows he needs a miracle to nail a conviction. But his sweat, pain, and emotional investment lead him to a gut wrenching possibility: the man he is trying so hard to convict may, in fact, be innocent. His life and his career hanging in the balance, Estrada struggles toward the truth. What he finds is...inadmissible evidence.

They call the ancient hills of Jerusalem the butcher's theater. Here, upon this bloodstained stage, a faceless killer performs his violent specialty: The first to die brutally is a fifteen-year-old girl. She is drained of blood, then carefully bathed and shrouded in white. Precisely one week later, a second victim is found. From the sacred Wailing Wall to the monasteries where dark secrets are cloistered, from black-clad bedouin enclaves to labyrinthine midnight alleys, veteran police inspector Daniel Sharavi and his crack team plunge deep into a city simmering with religious and political passions to hunt for a murderer whos insatiable taste for young women could destroy the delicate balance on which Jerusalem's very survival depends.

On his lunch break, David, a mild-mannered therapist, takes a walk in Central Park. It's a muggy June day, and the park is a respite from the parade of neurotics who keep him in business.

A Broadway dancer, Kate stirs something within David that he hasn't felt in years. When his wife goes to Martha's Vineyard for the summer, he dives headlong into a passionate affair with the mysterious young woman, risking his marriage and reputation for the sake of someone he knows nothing about.

Haiti and New York may seem worlds apart, but in this tense and engrossing novel they're literally right next door to each other. When Brooklyn jeweler Moe Rosen plays the good Samaritan and saves his next-door neighbor, restaurant-owner Miz Ark, from a mugger, his impulsive act opens a door into a whole different world. The Haitian community that revolves around Miz Ark's restaurant embraces Moe as a wanga, a good-luck charm, and Moe's luck starts to change personally and professionally. Meanwhile, young Fabrice Lacroix flees Haiti on a raft when the family he works for is murdered by the evil Col. Hugo Ferray. The two plot lines begin their slow, tense advance toward each other as Fabrice makes his way from Haiti to New York, and Ferray is squeezed out of Haiti by the CIA. That both men are heading for Miz Ark should feel like a plot contrivance, but thanks to Salinger's storytelling and the way the Haitian worldview permeates the novel, every coincidence feels like the deliberate work of the l'wahs, Haitian deities like the erotic Erzulie and the evil Ogoun Ferraille. The characters are believable and complexMoe Rosen is more than just a symbolic Caucasian in the world of Haitian immigrants, and his relationship with Marlene, one of Miz Ark's waitresses, never feels like the obligatory romance that so often mars a good thriller. Having lived and worked in the Caribbean, Salinger (Behold the Fire) doesn't flinch from beginning this picaresque thriller with a dose of harsh reality, and the threat of imminent violence looms over the rest of the novel.

Julie Stone is a young German woman who, losing her father in the Nazi persecutions, finds herself in post-war England, married to a successful professor and the mother of two children. She enjoys the life of the campus, but the facts of her past and of her husband Charles's age, which is nearly twice hers, finally start to take their toll, leading her to an affair with a young student called Sam, which in turn leads all three to new thresholds in their life. This is a very small story where you fancy that friends of Alvarez may have recognized themselves among the cast. There is some pathos surrounding the pompous, portly figure of Charles, but the young lovers Julie and Sam are for the most part dull and not particularly likable figures. Julie's past is indistinct, and though the plot seems to chase it towards a personal resolution, ultimately this is superfluous to her unfaithfulness, or to the themes about generational divides.
