 SCHOOL
DAYS: Robert B. Parker Robert
Parker's novels featuring a Boston private detective named Spenser got off to
a slam-bang start in the 1970s. But since then, the series has grown in
popularity but deteriorated in quality, the plots becoming as thin as
negligees and the wisecracking detective turning into a parody of himself.
 CINNAMON
KISS: Walter Mosley Easy
Rawlins is legit at last: The city of Los Angeles has granted him a private
detective's licence. But he's still a black man trying to make his way in an
indifferent, and often hostile, white America.
 THE
SECRET MULRONEY TAPES: Peter C. Newman Thanks
to the headlines splashed across the front pages this week by the bombshell
launch of The Secret Mulroney Tapes, we now know a great deal of what Brian
Mulroney was thinking while he was prime minister, and a lot of it isn't
pretty. But a more careful reading of the explosive, profane book reveals
it as more than a hatchet job.
 FAN-TAN:
Marlon Brando and Donald Cammell The
story of the making of this novel is as interesting as the book itself -- the
tale of a Scottish-American sea captain who signs on with some Chinese pirates
in the South Pacific during the 1920s. The late Marlon Brando struck up a
friendship with Donald Cammell during the 1960s when the actor was in France
shooting The Young Lions. The two eccentrics had many character similarities
and decided to collaborate on this ultimately unfinished project. An editor
and film historian stepped in and finished the job.
