Description

Murder Off Mike (2003) by Joyce Krieg ('72 B.A., Journalism)
The winner of the 2002 St. Martin's Press/Malice Domestic Contest for Best First Traditional Mystery introduces Shauna J. Bogart, a smart, sassy radio talk show host at Sacramento's top-rated local station who launches her own investigation into the "suicide" of a fellow shock jock.

The Secret Clan : Abducted Heiress (2001) by Amanda Scott ('68 M.A., History)
Molly Gordon was the wealthiest lass in 16th century Scotland -- or she would be if anyone found her fortune. Her father hid his treasure, then died. Now held captive on an island, Molly longs for a hero to rescue her. Sir Finlay Mackenzie is a hot-tempered warrior who has been granted possession of Molly and can marry her or barter her. But he must deal with a proud woman who resists his passion and defies his commands. The first in the Secret Clan series.

In the Hands of Fate (2002) by Dwight R. Messimer ('79 M.A., History)
Patrol Wing Ten was the only U.S. Navy aviation unit to fight Japan in the early weeks of World War II, and the daring exploits of its PBY scout-plane pilots offer a dramatic tale of heroism, duty, and controversy. Poorly equipped and dead tired from flying back-to-back patrols with no fighter cover, the men lost 66 percent of their aircraft in just eight weeks as they took on an enemy that outnumbered them nearly 1,000 to 1. Other titles by Dwight Messimer in the Library.

This Body (1998) by Laurel Doud ('81 M.L.S., Library Science)
Katharine is dead, so imagine her surprise when she wakes up a year after her death, having moved from the body of a married mother of two teenagers into the body of a 22-year-old Beverly Hills alcoholic named Thisby, whose parents were obsessed with Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. While learning how to play her new role believably, Katharine surprises family and friends by applying her motherly lessons to Thisby's life.
