Treasures in my Closet - July books

Tomorrow, I'll tell you about the projected bestsellers for July.

But, there might be some sleepers in my closet. Why don't you order some of these titles, at your local library or bookstore, to read on the beach during July? These books have publication dates scheduled for that month.

Dead Connection - Alafair Burke - A rookie detective goes undercover on the internet dating scene to draw out a serial killer targeting single women in Manhattan.

Brush with Death - Hailey Lind - The third novel in Lind's fun Art Lover's mystery series, featuring Annie Kincaid, forger turned honest faux-finishing business owner.

A Beautiful Blue Death - Charles Finch - The debut of a Victorian gentleman detective, Charles Lenox and his friend, Lady Jane, in a mystery called "Equal parts Sherlock Holmes, Gosford Park, and P.G. Wodehouse."

Crosshairs - Harry Hunsicker - Lee Harvey Oswald faces "The Professor," a former intelligence operator, and deadly enemy.

Reduced Circumstances - Vincent H. O'Neil - When a teenage boy disappers, taxi dispatcher Frank Cole is dragged into the investigation.

Kop - Warren Hammond - Juno, a crooked cop, risks his life, his marriage, and his job to expose a cabal that would enslave the planet of Lagarto.

Check out July's books. I'm hoping for some enjoyable surprises.
