When two sisters visiting from Texas get their throats slashed in a Manhattan hotel elevator, their husbands hire PI Franklin Novak to go after the killer in Alex Minter's Killing Cousins: A New York Mystery, the fast-moving follow-up to Little Sister's Last Dose (Forecasts, Mar. 24). Franklin's son, Felix, and the daughter of his late partner from his days on the police force, Soraya Novarro, take time off from the hip New York City scene to join the chase.
