Author puts fresh tracks on stale mystery trail
Long have murder mysteries trodden the ground that Peter Spiegelman travels in Red Cat, his third novel about private investigator John March. A man (in this case, Marchs brother, David) "meets" a sultry, dangerous woman (who goes only by the name Wren) in an online chat room. They sit down over coffee and are soon in a dark hotel room living out Davids wildest fantasies. But the woman wont go away when asked. And she has videotaped the proceedings. Her attraction might be, um, fatal. Then her bloated body washes up on the banks of New Yorks East River, a distinguishing tattoo on her thigh an obvious clue to her identity. She has been beaten and shot four times in the head. And David is the primary suspect. Yet Spiegelman takes this tired plot and turns in a tautly paced and realistic thriller that boasts complex psychological studies of all the main characters: not only John and David but also Wren (whose real name is Holly Cade) and her boyfriends, Gene Werner and Jamie Coyle.

Viet Nam auctions antiques in Holland
Period antiques from the southernmost province of Ca Mau entered the first auction in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on Jan. 29, said the provincial People's Committee.
The three-day auction will sell over 76,000 objects retrieved from a sunken ship. The antiques were mostly Chinese products made under the Qing dynasty during the 1723-1735 period.
Porcelain dishes, pots and statues which are unique in design, were made at the then famous kilns in Jiangxi and Guangdong of China.
The auctioned items were part of over 99,100 antiques lifted from the wreckage by the province in association with the Viet Nam History Museum.
An additional 32,500 relics from the wrecked ship were illegally taken by locals from nearby Binh Thuan province, costing the provincial administration over 13 billion VND (921,400 USD) to collect them from the population.
