The mystery section collects used, rare and out-of-print crime, detective and suspense fiction. Golden-age puzzles, hardboiled thrillers, and modern police procedurals all get shelf space. You'll find Elmore Leonard's Touch, Joseph Wambaugh's The Black Marble, Michael Dibdin's The Dying of the Light and Ross Thomas's Out on the Rim.
Hardboiled and classic-puzzle readers alike will find plenty here, including H.R.F. Keating's The Strong Man and signed copies such as George Higgins's Trust. Editions run from paperback reading copies to collectible first-edition hardcovers in original jackets, and scarcer titles tend to move quickly.
Since these are used and rare books, condition and availability vary by copy. Order your next mystery online.
