The Autumn Dead / The Night Remembers

The Autumn Dead Jack Dwyer used to be a cop. Now he's a rent-a-cop and part-time actor. Dwyer isn't complaining-not much anyway-he's got a great girlfriend; he's older, a little heavier, but what the hell, that's life. Then the woman who drove him crazy during his teenage years, Karen Lane, re-appears; still beautiful, still bewitching. She wants him to locate a missing suitcase. But Dwyer knows there's more to this than an elusive bag. And soon enough, he becomes enmeshed in the past, tracking down old secrets, secrets that someone wants very much to remain buried-even if it takes murder to keep them there. The Night Remembers Jack Walsh is a private detective with a past. He used to work for the sheriff's office, and that's when he helped send up George Pennyfeather for murder. But now George is out, and his wife Penny is asking Walsh to help prove his innocence. Walsh is naturally reluctant. He feels like he was right the first time. But he is drawn into the case when a young woman is murdered in the Pennyfeather's backyard. Is George being framed? And if so, is it just possible that he was framed twelve years ago as well? Walsh starts interviewing Pennyfeather's friends and former employer and in no time at all discovers that someone definitely doesn't want him on this case again.
