What does it mean to write about the dark corners of the human mind? Are these new grounds to gain a better insight into our psyche? Do they say something about our nature? Or are they a reflection of society at large? Crime authors Andrew Gross, Mark Rubenstein, T. Jefferson Parker, Linwood Barclay, and Jon Land undergo extensive cross-analysis under Frederic Colier Colier's razor-sharp curiosity. The last Pick Of The Week of the season takes a different turn and showcases books by authors whose characters are trapped by existential and moral dilemmas: Daniel Woodrell, "The Maid's Version." Martin Fletcher, "Jacob's Oath." Andre Dubus III, "Dirty Love." And Javier Marias, "The Infatuations." Written by
