In Trickster’s Point\, the unsinkable Cork O’Connor is sitting in the shadow of a towering monolith known as Trickster’s Point\, deep in the Minnesota wilderness. Beside him is the first Native American governor-elect\, Jubal Little\, who is slowly dying with an arrow through his heart. Although the men have been bow hunting\, this is no accident. The arrow in the governor’s heart belongs to Cork.    When he becomes the primary suspect in the murder\, Cork understands full well that he’s been set up. As he works to clear his name and track the real killer\, he recalls his long\, complex relationship with Jubal\, the Native kid who aspired to be a populist politician and grew to become a cunning man capable of treachery and murder. As Cork looks deeply into his own past\, he comes face to face with the many motives\, good and ill\, that lead men and women into the difficult\, sometimes deadly\, political arena.    With crisp writing filled with the twists and turns his fans have come to expect\, Krueger delivers another knockout novel of suspense.

SUMMARY:SinC Author - Julie Kramer

Riley Spartz is a very human heroine—and a force to be reckoned with. You will remember her and this story long after you finish the book—and anxiously await the next installment."  —Linda Castillo\, New York Times bestselling author    "This series is more addictive than 24/7 cable news. A captivating heroine you'll root for and a shocking ending you won't see coming\, Shunning Sarah delivers with a satisfying punch."  —Alex Kava\, New York Times bestselling author    "A stunning entry in this dynamic series with a fascinating glimpse into two worlds unknown to most of us: the Amish and the behind-the-scenes truth about local TV news. Talk about a culture clash!"  —Karen Harper\, New York Times bestselling author

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 1\, 2012 @ 7:00 p.m.  Once Upon A Crime Bookstore  604 West 26th Street\, Minneapolis MN      Book for Discussion:  "The Alto Wore Tweed" by Mark Schweitzer    (No. 1 in the Liturgical Mystery series) Hayden Konig is the police chief in the small Appalachian town of St. Germaine\, North Carolina. His part-time job\, however\, is serving as the choir director and organist at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church\, but he’s also determined to write the next great hard-boiled mystery novel a la Raymond Chandler—a liturgical mystery novel with no real plot\, but enough bad prose to make the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest look like the Oxford University Press spring catalog. Chief Konig is also lucky enough to be independently wealthy\, which is why he decides that his lack of talent in the writing department can easily be remedied\, or at least greatly enhanced\, by the purchase of Raymond Chandler’s 1939 Underwood typewriter. He is sadly mistaken\, but the results are uproarious! Even as Hayden works on his opus\, he must deal with other\, more pressing\, problems—a new priest at St. Barnabas\, a Christmas feud between the Rotarians and the Kiwanians and\, more importantly\, a dead body in the choir loft. It’s a good thing that Hayden keeps a loaded Glock under the organ bench!         Guest Speaker: Wally Lind\, Senior Crime Scene Analyst with the Bloomington MN Police Department (retired)\, and founder of the ‘Crimescenewriter’ list at Yahoo\, where writers can get their forensics questions answered by experts in the field.    Wally Lind Bio    Wally Lind retired after a few decades as a Senior Crime Scene Analyst with the Bloomington MN Police Department.  Finding “retirement” not the best fit\, in 2003 he began a forensics discussion group for writers on Yahoo.Posted description:  “A forum for asking and answering crime scene investigation\, applied forensics\, and police procedure questions for fiction or non-fiction writers. Writers are invited to ask and crime scene investigators\, forensic scientists\, and medical practioners are invited to answer. Of course\, experienced writers are invited to help the newer ones and each other.”    That group has grown to include 790 members including:  several experts (besides Wally) in crime scene analysis\, several members of law enforcement\, a host of writers wanting to get the information right\, many published authors\, and some lurkers who have that big murder mystery still in their heads.Most of Wally’s writing has to do with answering questions for other writers\, but he’s been included on the acknowledgements pages of a number of books.    Check out the files section at the group site for tidbits and motherlodes of info! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crimescenewriter/

SUMMARY:SinC Author - Ellen Hart
DESCRIPTION:From the Learning Life catalog:    First\, on February 2\, you will discuss False Mermaid\, Erin Hart’s third novel featuring pathologist Nora Gavin and Irish archaeologist Cormac Maguire. Says Hart\, “I’ve always been drawn to complex\, character-driven crime novels. I’m interested in character and motivation\, of course\, but my particular fascination is with consequences\, with the fact that a single event from the past can continue to send ripples into the present and thefuture.”    Next\, on February 23\, the focus will turn to Northwest Angle\, the 11th book in the Cork O’Connor series by William Kent Krueger. O’Connor\, the former sheriff of Tamarack County in northern Minnesota\, is a man of tremendous resource and mixed heritage. Part Irish-American and part Ojibwe\, he straddles two cultures that\, more often than not\, are at extreme\, sometimes violent\, odds. Krueger says the novel “deals\, at heart\, with family and with the question of how families heal after great trauma. But make no mistake\, it’s also a book firmly rooted in the crime genre. I believe it’s the most suspenseful novel I’ve written.”    Finally\, on March 15\, you will discuss The Lost Women of Lost Lake\, Ellen Hart’s 19th crime novel featuring restaurateur and part-time sleuth\, Jane Lawless. Says Hart\, “I’ve always felt that mystery is the quality that keeps us reading any novel…a mystery is set squarely in the moral universe. People often ask that question: What happened to the social novel? My answer is that it’s still here\, still alive and well in the form of modern crime fiction.”    Register

SUMMARY:SinC Author - Erin Hart
DESCRIPTION:From the Learning Life catalog:    First\, on February 2\, you will discuss False Mermaid\, Erin Hart's third novel featuring pathologist Nora Gavin and Irish archaeologist Cormac Maguire. Says Hart\, "I've always been drawn to complex\, character-driven crime novels. I'm interested in character and motivation\, of course\, but my particular fascination is with consequences\, with the fact that a single event from the past can continue to send ripples into the present and thefuture."    Next\, on February 23\, the focus will turn to Northwest Angle\, the 11th book in the Cork O'Connor series by William Kent Krueger. O'Connor\, the former sheriff of Tamarack County in northern Minnesota\, is a man of tremendous resource and mixed heritage. Part Irish-American and part Ojibwe\, he straddles two cultures that\, more often than not\, are at extreme\, sometimes violent\, odds. Krueger says the novel "deals\, at heart\, with family and with the question of how families heal after great trauma. But make no mistake\, it's also a book firmly rooted in the crime genre. I believe it's the most suspenseful novel I've written."    Finally\, on March 15\, you will discuss The Lost Women of Lost Lake\, Ellen Hart's 19th crime novel featuring restaurateur and part-time sleuth\, Jane Lawless. Says Hart\, "I've always felt that mystery is the quality that keeps us reading any novel...a mystery is set squarely in the moral universe. People often ask that question: What happened to the social novel? My answer is that it's still here\, still alive and well in the form of modern crime fiction."    Register

Writers are invited to ask and crime scene investigators\, forensic scientists\, and medical practioners are invited to answer. Of course\, experienced writers are invited to help the newer ones and each other.”    That group has grown to include 790 members including:  several experts (besides Wally) in crime scene analysis\, several members of law enforcement\, a host of writers wanting to get the information right\, many published authors\, and some lurkers who have that big murder mystery still in their heads.    Most of Wally’s writing has to do with answering questions for other writers\, but he’s been included on the acknowledgements pages of a number of books.    Check out the files section at the group site for tidbits and motherlodes of info! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crimescenewriter/
