About the Books Each title shares Deaver's trademark tension, twist endings and vivid settings. Mistress of Justice follows Wall Street paralegal Taylor Lockwood, drawn into a dangerous hunt for a stolen document. Bloody River Blues and Shallow Graves introduce Hollywood location scout John Pellam, whose search for the perfect film backdrop lands him amid murder investigations in small-town America. Manhattan Is My Beat and Death of a Blue Movie Star star the irrepressible Rune, a young New York filmmaker turned amateur sleuth. Hell's Kitchen returns Pellam to New York for a documentary shoot that uncovers dark neighbourhood secrets. The October List tells its crime story backwards, so readers piece together the truth in reverse.
