Sam Acquillo mystery (after 2015’s Cop
Job), a stranger calls on the corporation man
turned carpenter at his cottage on Long
Island’s Little Peconic Bay, to inform him
that Marcelo “Bonnie” Bonaventure, an
old and ailing retired bartender, wants to
talk to him about the beating death 40
years earlier of Sam’s father, André Acquillo,
a demanding, ill-tempered, meticulous
mechanic. Sam drives to the Bronx to visit
Bonnie at an old folks’ home, where Bonnie
tells Sam something disturbing about the
police investigation into André’s murder.
Sam decides to stick around the city to
do some digging and consults Madelyn
Wollencroft, a cold case detective. When a
thug attempts to shoot Sam one night in
his hotel room, he realizes that someone
doesn’t want the past explored, and he
brings Wollencroft actively into the case.
Sam must contend with his father’s ghost
and his father’s surviving enemies. Sam’s
backstory adds depth to an already strong
character. (May)
Nantucket Grand:
A Henry Kennis Mystery
Steven Axelrod. Poisoned Pen, $26.95 (354p)
ISBN 978-1-4642-0553-8; $15.95 trade paper
ISBN 978-1-4642-0555-2
Henry Kennis must deal with a series of
seemingly random crimes on the island
of Nantucket in Axelrod’s solidly plotted
third mystery featuring the poet and police
chief (after 2015’s Nantucket Five-Spot).
As blackmail and arson escalate to murder,
no one in the seasonal tourist mecca is safe—
including a comatose high school student
and the scion of wealthy landowners.
Henry’s budding love interest, Jane Stiles,
an author of cozy mysteries, is sure the crimes
are related. Not convinced, Henry continues
to investigate, but he fails to turn up any
concrete evidence, only managing to ruffle
the feathers of several well-heeled, powerful
locals. As more
lies and another
tragedy push
Henry to the
edge, he races
to end the vio-
lence. Axelrod’s
characters span
the spectrum
from homey and
nice to proudly
nasty. Fans of
Spencer Fleming’s Russ Van Alstyne and
Frederick Ramsay’s Ike Schwartz will enjoy
Henry’s literary leanings and dogged
determination to protect his island and
its residents. (May)
Straw Man:
A Jack McMorrow Mystery
Gerry Boyle. Islandport, $24.95 (334p)
ISBN 978-1-939017-93-2
Boyle’s engrossing 11th Jack McMorrow
Mystery (after 2015’s Once Burned) opens in
the woods of Waldo County, Maine, with
the freelance reporter and his friends, Clair
and Louis, getting into a fight with men
illegally harvesting lumber from an old
woman’s land. The thieves lose the brawl,
but they vow retribution and start stalking
Jack’s family. Jack responds with force,
escalating the feud and driving a wedge
between him and his wife, Roxanne, a social
worker who’s passionate about peaceful
conflict resolution and fears that Jack is
setting a poor example for their daughter,
Sophie. Deftly drawn characters and a
strong sense of place add texture and depth
to this gritty tale of rural crime and vigilante justice. Jack and Roxanne’s marital
strife imbues even otherwise mundane
scenes with tension, and Jack’s journalistic
research into Old Order Mennonites and
private gun sales paves the way for thoughtful
discussions regarding religion, faith, and
the cycle of violence. Ample action drives
the story toward a pat but otherwise gratifying conclusion. (May)
Beijing Red: A Nick Foley Thriller
Alex Ryan. Crooked Lane, $26.99 (304p)
ISBN 978-1-62953-594-4
This earnest, workmanlike series debut,
penned by two U.S. Navy veterans writing
under the Ryan pseudonym, introduces
Nick Foley, a former Navy SEAL now
working with a nongovernmental orga-
nization. Foley is leading an irrigation
project in western China when a worker
collapses with symptoms that look like
Ebola. At a local hospital, the victim and
Foley are treated as if they were living
biohazards, and the government rushes
Chen Dazhong, a representative of the
Chinese version of the CDC, to the scene
from Beijing. The situation could be
bioterrorism, but Chen’s investigation is
covered up by Commander Zhang of the
Snow Leopard unit of China’s counterter-
rorism team. Foley and Chen, predictably,
can’t let go of the matter, which spirals
outward to involve a Russian spy, an
American spy, and an evil genius who
wouldn’t be out of place in a James Bond
movie. Ryan writes well of the nuts and
bolts of tradecraft and biohazards, but the
prose is middling at best, and the charac-
ters lack depth. (May)

A STALKER LETS US GLIMPSE INSIDE THE WORLD
OF HIS COMPULSIONS.
A WOMAN CONFRONTS THE INMATE WHO RAPED HER
AND TRIES TO FIND A WAY TO KILL HIM.
IN HIS ENCOUNTERS WITH AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN
PSYCHIATRIST, A NEO-NAZI BEGINS TO SEE BEYOND
HIS LONG-HELD HATRED AND VIOLENT PAST.
How do people wind up in prison?
Once there, can they change?
Do they feel remorse, or only regret that they’ve been caught?
What is life in prison really like, and how do prisoners adjust to it?
What’s the aftermath of a violent assault on victims and their families?
What kind of a toll does a prison take on those who work there?
These are a few of the questions confronted by the characters in R.C. Good win’s
stories. The questions don’t make for easy answers, and the characters don’t fall into
clear-cut categories.
Taken together, the stories illuminate some of society’s darkest corners. Goodwin’s
experience practicing psychiatry in correctional settings for over twenty years adds
depth and authenticity to them. His stories offer unexpected turns and endings, as
well as surprising doses of gallows humor.

Yale with a degree in history, attended medical school
in Dublin, and completed an internship and psychiatric
residency in Connecticut. He has worked in private
practice, jails and prisons, and the counseling center at a
