Okay, I have the following:

Christopher Hyde, _Wisdom of the Bones_  
Sylvia Maultash Warsh, _Find Me Again_  
Nina Revoyr, _Southland_

All three were nominees for the Edgar award for best paperback of 2003; _Find Me Again_ was the winner.

**Hilarity** wants the Hiaasens. Doesn’t anybody else want to provide a good home for these unwanted books?
