(Newswire.net — September 9, 2015) Scottsdale, Arizona — Summer may be coming to a close, but Poisoned Pen Press has four new releases and two British classics coming out in September. Featuring the best mystery authors, these books are sure to become reader favorites.

“We search for the best new and classic mystery fiction books to offer our readers,” according to Robert Rosenwald of Poisoned Pen Press. “Our September new releases cover different aspects of the mystery genre to reach a wide audience.”

The beaches and dunes of England’s Cumbria region provide the setting for author Martin Edwards’ The Dungeon House: A Lake District Mystery #7. This suspense-filled story revolves around a cold case disappearance of a 14-year-old girl that draws renewed interest from police after the disappearance of a second teenager. Detective Chief Inspector Hannah Scarlett is soon on an investigative trail that leads her to Dungeon House and a mystery it has kept hidden for two decades. 

Never Look Down: A Cal Claxton Oregon Mystery #3 finds the ex-prosecutor from southern California being drawn into a murder investigation. Claxton becomes involved in the case as a favor to his friend and landlord who was the dead woman’s fiancée in this latest installment from author Warren C. Easley. Helping his friend soon leads Claxton to a teenage graffiti artist who witnessed the killing and is being hunted by the killer.

The deaths of three people one night in 1967 have a Texas sheriff busy in Dark Places: A Red River Mystery #5. The absence of the local constable, who is on the trail of his granddaughter and her friend who have run away, makes for a fast-paced search for the killer by the sheriff and his newest deputy as author Reavis Z. Wortham takes readers to locales that existed almost 50 years ago.

Trial lawyer and author Michael A. Kahn brings realism and a sense of humor to Sheer Gall: A Rachel Gold Mystery #5 featuring crime-fighting female attorney, Rachel Gold. When Gold’s client is murdered, she is not as convinced as police appear to be that the woman’s husband did it. This leads Gold on an investigation that could put her own life in danger. 

J. Jefferson Farjeon wrote more than 60 crime novels before his death in 1955. Two of his works from Poisoned Pen Press prove why he was considered by many to be one of the best British mystery writers of his day. In Thirteen Guests: A British Library Crime Classic, a typically English country house is the setting for this 1930s tale in which a fall weekend gathering turns deadly. Detective Inspector Kendall has his hands full as he discovers the hidden secrets each of the guests while trying to unravel the mystery and find the killer.

The Z Murders: A British Library Crime Classic begins in a London hotel where the only clues to the death of a guest is a crimson-colored metal token in the shape of the letter “Z” and a mysterious woman who flees the scene. There are enough plot twists to keep armchair sleuths on the edge of their seats until the very end.
