		<description><![CDATA[Let’s be honest: most mystery novels do not come with “Wow! Holy heck!” titles. You know what I mean: A title so punchy, you find yourself buying the book before you know what the plot is about, or which sub-genre the book explores. We’ve all done that. But honestly: we don’t do that every week.

		<description><![CDATA[One of my all-time-favorite motives for the hero of a mystery novel dates back to 1930. Sam Spade, in THE MALTESE FALCON, decides he has to investigate &#8212; and avenge &#8212; the murder of his partner, Miles Archer. Why? Because the guy was his partner, and when your partner gets killed, you&#8217;re supposed to do [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dana-haynes.com&amp;blog=6484825&amp;post=1605&amp;subd=danahaynes&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
