About Adam Dalgliesh
In Scotland Yard Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh, P.D. James has created a man of sensitivity, courage, and intelligence. He sometimes wishes that his only problems involve investigating murder. For as difficult as solving these crimes can be, often his relationships with living people – women, in particular – are harder to figure out. It's his poet's heart that gives him so much trouble.

About Agatha Raisin
If you're looking for a young, flighty detective who charms everyone in sight, Agatha Raisin is not the woman for you. This prickly, 50-something amateur investigator often – and often eagerly – rubs people the wrong way. Good thing she turned her back on her public relations business! But this rose with many thorns finds her attitude is perfect for shaking the villains loose. Here in the quaint Cotswolds, where murder keeps cropping up, Agatha is a cross "between Miss Marple, Auntie Mame, and Lucille Ball with a tad of pit bull tossed in."—St. Petersburg Times

About Albert Campion
He has a great disguise: Albert Campion comes off as an ineffective, upper-class fop. But equally at home in the underworld and among the upper crust, Margery Allingham's super-sleuth rarely misses a clue or fails to find a motive. Behind his horn-rimmed glasses and mild-mannered façade is a brilliant mind that can penetrate the villainous heart of the most heinous crime. Delight in listening to criminals who underestimate Campion at their peril. But it's understandable: his apparently harmless, goofy character is pure P.G. Wodehouse, and just as entertaining.

About Alex Cross
"The Alex Cross series remains [James] Patterson's finest," says Publishers Weekly of this string of mysteries. The Washington, D.C., detective/FBI agent started off as a psychologist, concentrating on abnormal psychology and forensic psychology. Even though his private practice went bust, he still finds that his training helps him solve crimes, whether working as a profiler in Washington, or as a senior agent with the FBI. His training in abnormal psych gives him an uneasy awareness of the terrible harm people are capable of inflicting on one another.

About Alex Delaware
The Shadow may know what lurks in the hearts of men, but Alex Delaware goes deeper, into their minds. Using what he knows about irrational, fanatical, obsessive behavior, Jonathan Kellerman's psychologist risks his own sanity – not to mention his life – by helping the police investigate crimes that horrify him. His knowledge of the enigmatic and erratic ways of human psychosis gives him clues into motives and impulses that others don't have.

About Alexandra Cooper
Assistant D.A. Alex Cooper is head of New York`s sex crimes unit. Just like her creator, Linda Fairstein, this strong woman knows about people, about ugliness, about crime. She knows more than she wants to about what people can do to one another. Working with homicide detectives Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace, she lifts the lid off "civilization" and investigates the grisly motives and disturbing behavior lurking behind our human facades.

About Alvirah Meehan
Luck sometimes takes a long time to come to a person. For Mary Higgins Clark's cleaning woman Alvirah Meehan, it took longer than usual – but she finally grabbed the gold ring: she won $40 million in the lottery. This changes her life, of course. No longer needing to clean other people's floors, she decides to help them clean up their lives, and becomes a private eye. Adventure, excitement, and just a teensy bit of danger are now hers, along with all that cash!

About Amelia Peabody
Passion takes many forms. For Amelia Peabody, evidence of her passion is in her interest in Egypt, artifacts, and archaeology. Mysteries and murder, of course, are unexpected sidelines. It's adventure enough for this Victorian lady to investigate crypts and burial grounds so far from England. Her husband, Emerson, also shares her passion for Egypt. Author Elizabeth Peters has based these two on real people; Amelia resembles Victorian amateur Egyptologist Amelia B. Edwards, and Emerson's methodology has been attributed to archaeologist William Flinders Petrie.

About Anna Pigeon
Nevada Barr created a character who loves the wilderness as much as she does. Anna Pigeon's job as a ranger involves understanding the outdoors and how people fit in it – and, to her intense dismay, how people get in trouble, why they get in trouble, and how she can get them out of it. Strong, restless, and independent, Anna moves often, taking jobs in national parks and monuments from Florida to Arizona, Montana to California, always inadvertently stumbling over ugly crimes, and successfully investigating them.

About Barbara Holloway
In the Pacific Northwest, attorney Barbara Holloway takes on the sort of cases no one else wants. And so she has made a name for herself - these are the toughest cases. With razor-sharp instincts and take-no-prisoners attitude, Kate Wilhelm's lawyer is smart and tenacious and gets to the bottom of things. Just like her father, who taught her everything she knows. And the only attorney who can trip her up is the one who taught her everything she knows.
