Summer Mysteries Reopen Cold Cases

Posted on May 23, 2005

An Associated Press story breaks the news on the murders in some of this summer's biggest reads. Several books out by book authors feature murder investigations where new information shines new light on old cases.

Their victims are long dead, but old murder cases aren't - at least, that is, in new mystery novels by Jonathan Kellerman, Michael Connelly, Karen Robards and James Patterson.

These books are among the latest hardcover novels of mystery and suspense, which also include works by John Sandford, H.R.F. Keating, Loren D. Estleman and Earlene Fowler.

Some of the mysteries the AP mentions in the article include Rage (Ballantine) by Jonathan Kellerman, The Closers (Little, Brown) by Michael Connelly, Superstition (Putnam) by Karen Robards and 4th of July (Little, Brown) by James Patterson.
