ABANDON – BLAKE CROUCH

On Christmas Day in 1893, every man, woman and child in a remote mining town disappeared. Belongings forsaken, meals left uneaten in vacant cabins and not a single bone found.  Now journalist Abigail and her historian father have set out to explore the long-abandoned town and learn what happened.  Accompanied by a couple of guides, Abigail and her companions are about to learn that the towns ghosts are the least of their worries. A western and thriller mash-up delivered as only Crouch can.

BANDIT QUEENS – PARINI SHROFF

Five years ago, Geeta lost her no-good husband. Sadly, not through death, he just walked out with no word of his destination. Rumor has it in her remote village that she killed him.  Turns out being known as a “self-made” widow comes with some perks.  No one messes with her, no one dares no buy from her business.  When other women start asking for her expertise in husband disposal, things take a dark turn.  Irreverent, razor-sharp, and edgy, this is a book not to be missed.

NOTHING TO FEAR: HITCHCOCK & THE WRONG MAN – JASON ISRALOWITZ

In 1956, the world’s most famous director focused his lens on an issue that cuts to the heart of the criminal justice system, the risk of wrongful conviction.  The result was The Wrong Man, a wrenching and largely overlooked drama based on the false arrest of a musician.  Despite a detective’s assurance that the innocent have nothing to fear, we watch the descent of justice into tunnel vision.  No surprise that Hitchcock was ahead of his time here, depicting several of the pitfalls that keep the contemporary innocence project busy.
