Judging Time (April Woo #4):
It’s snowing in New York. On the soaring skyscrapers. On the cozy brownstones. And on the sidewalk in front of a trendy West Side restaurant where two bodies lie entangled on the ground. A man and a woman. One viciously stabbed to death, the other the victim of an apparent heart attack. Each married to someone else, both joined in a chilling tableau of death. For Detective Sergeant April Woo, newly promoted to Manhattan’s Midtown North, it is a baffling double homicide that screams of race, class, sex, and headlines. Because the dead woman was the beautiful wife of African-American pro football player turned stockbroker Rick Liberty. And the dead man was Liberty’s close friend and perhaps his wife’s lover. With the heat coming down from City Hall – and Rick Liberty at the center of a raging media frenzy – the pressure is on for the NYPD to bring in a killer. But April isn’t so sure Liberty is guilty. Neither is Mike Sanchez, April’s former partner, who has just been brought in as a special investigator. As the manhunt turns savage, April and Sanchez must uncover the truth before time runs out on the wrong suspect.
Stealing Time (April Woo #5):
Leslie Glass is back…with a terrific new mystery featuring NYPD homicide detective April Woo.

The most challenging case of her career makes for the most provocative mystery of the year.
Tracking Time (April Woo #6):
When a young doctor goes for his daily run in New York City’s Central Park and doesn’t come back, NYPD detective April Woo is convinced that he’s still alive. Trusting her usually solid instincts, she goes outside her jurisdiction and orders a massive search using the city’s best K-9 tracking unit. But it isn’t until a witness in the case is brutally murdered that April’s hunch is taken seriously — by her superiors, by the mayor and by the already frenzied press. Only now, it just might be too late to beat the clock and stop an out-of-control killer on the most bizarre and disturbing crime spree the city has ever seen.
The Silent Bride (April Woo #7):
NYPD Detective April Woo-the heroine of Leslie Glass’s Tracking Time, Stealing Time, and Judging Time-is back to solve the case of a serial killer who targets young New York City brides.
A Killing Gift (April Woo #8):
This novel featuring Asian-American detective April Woo is a powerful blend of police procedural and thriller. When the guest of honor, Lieutenant Alfredo Bernardino, leaves before his retirement party’s over, he neglects to take the gifts he’s been given in honor of his 38 years with the New York City Police Department. His famous protégé, April Woo, follows him with his property, planning to say a last goodbye, but it’s already too late. She comes across her mentor’s still-warm body in the fog, his neck broken by an unknown assailant. April gives chase and comes close to sharing Bernardino’s fate at the hands of a killer whose skills at unarmed combat challenge her own. Bernardino had plenty of friends and more than a few enemies, and the investigation into his murder is filled with complications involving high-ranking detectives, an internal affairs investigation, input from the dead detective’s children (a son who works in the D.A.’s office and an FBI agent daughter), plus a hunt for millions of dollars missing from Bernardino’s recent lottery winnings — not to mention the search for the source of a series of cryptic threatening phone calls to Bernardino and the killer’s other victims. Because of her injuries — and the department’s policy against cops who are crime victims investigating their own cases — April’s involvement has to be unofficial. At times she must even hide it from her fiancé, Lieutenant Mike Sanchez of the NYPD Homicide Task Force. But still she hunts relentlessly for the cop-killer who is bold enough to seek out new victims amid the ever-expanding manhunt.
A Clean Kill (April Woo #9):
Manhattan’s Upper East Side isn’t a neighborhood that NYPD detective April Woo and Precinct Captain Mike Sanchez associate with grisly crimes-until the wife of a celebrity chef is slashed to death in her fashionable townhouse. The obvious suspect is her long-time nanny.
