INTERNATIONAL THRILLER WRITERS
REVIEW OF THE MONTH

Proof Positive by Phillip Margolin: Doug Weaver is suffering from nightmares after witnessing the execution of one of his clients. Weaver advised him to plead guilty to matricide because of the forensic evidence against him, erroneously hoping by doing so that he would avoid the death penalty. A mobster is accused of murdering a drug addict after his fingerprints are found at the scene of the crime. A deranged homeless man is charged with committing a ghastly murder after the victim’s blood is found on his clothes. All these men proclaim their innocence but the evidence against them is overwhelming - unless it is being manufactured. One of Multnomah County’s star forensic scientists has decided to take the law into his own hands with heinous results, and the body count starts rising. Enter criminal attorney Amanda Jaffe (Wild Justice, Ties that Bind) who gets some help from her father Frank, Doug Weaver, and a private forensic scientist to try and figure out what is going on. Forensic science is hot and Margolin brings it to the forefront in this gruesome and frightening legal thriller.  07/06 Stacy Alesi, AKA The BookBitch Copyright © 2006 Cahners Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.  Reprinted with permission.

A DEADLY SILVER SEA
by Bob Morris

The Royal Star, the most exclusive cruise ship in the world, has just set sail from Miami on its inaugural voyage. For the hundred or so notable and well-heeled passengers, including Zack Chasteen, and his wife, Barbara, the itinerary is a secret and the week ahead promises to be an ultra-indulgent tropical sojourn.

But just an hour out of port, gunmen take over the Royal Star, killing most of the officers and sequestering passengers throughout the ship. Not only is Zack separated from Barbara, he has another worry — Barbara is eight months pregnant with their first child and could go into labor at any moment.

As Zack and his fellow captives struggle to get an upper hand, the ship’s hijackers offer few clues to their motives. Maybe it’s a simple kidnap/extortion plot. Or maybe the hijackers are bent on more devious ends – using the Royal Star as a giant torpedo to blow up another cruise ship. Either way, Zack must figure out a way to stop them--while keeping himself and his wife alive.
