The Pot Thief Who Stole Ptolemy

J. Michael Orenduff's latest Pot Thief mystery is out now! Here's what Mike wrote to us about his signing in Albuquerque, "Just a note to let you know that the second Pot Thief Book launched in December at Treasure House books in Old Town and set a record for the most books they've sold in one event in their twenty-five year history. I almost felt like Sarah Palen. People in line, I mean - not politically!" Look for our announcement for Michael's signing here in early summer. We look forward to having him back!
