Death Leaves No Card
Hardcover. WHEN DEATH PAYS A CALL he generally leaves a card behind ... even if it sometimes takes a pathologist to find it. But on the morning that he visited the bathroom at Forstal Farm, he did it incognito. It took a man with a crowbar to break down the bathroom door, and there on the floor was Basil Maplewood, naked, with one foot still hanging over the edge of the bath. Basil was only twenty-one, and in the very pink of health, but the post-mortem didn’t help much ... no violence, no sign of poison. Here is a mystery in a thousand, and one that almost — but not quite — threw dust in the eyes of Inspector Arnold and his colleagues.

Hardcover. With CUT AND RUN, Australian author Rupert Penny, writing under the name Martin Tanner, takes a vacation from his Inspector Beale police procedurals and pens a swift-moving chase story, full of psychological horror and breakneck thrills. Our hero parks his car, and takes a country walk, and when he gets back he’s met by Dr. Paul, one of the most engagingly evil villains ever conjured, who asks if he can search the car for an escaped lunatic.

She Had to Have Gas
Hardcover. Inspector Beale has seen many brutal crimes in his career, but this one takes the cake. The body of a young woman is seen, then it disappears, then it pops up again, only this time the head, and lower arms and legs have been cut off and are missing. Instead, tennis rack covers are taped to the neck and the two upper arms. But not the legs.
So far, it’s just one of the goriest crimes he and his journalist pal, Tony Purdon, have ever seen. But then a second body is found — and it’s missing head, arms and feet. What is going on?

Ladies in Boxes
Hardcover. Originally published in 1942, 'Ladies in Boxes' was the last of Burgess’s mystery novels, and almost certainly the best. Set in the bustling world of New York night clubs, residential hotels, palatial suburban estates, and chauffeur-driven limousines, the novel features some of Burgess’s most fascinating characters. There are spies and counter-spies, murderers and models, beautiful women and sinister men. The United States was teetering on the brink of war, tension made the very air vibrate — and then three stunning beauties were murdered in a single afternoon!
In 'Ladies in Boxes' Burgess weaves a web of wild complexity and coincidence that has caused him to be compared to the great Harry Stephen Keeler — praise indeed in the world of massively convoluted plots! Introduced by Richard A. Lupoff.

Sorcerer's Chessmen
Hardcover. To propose that Michel Benni is a mystery man will be to understate the case: his history is not only hazy, but his behaviour suggests all manner of nefarious activities, and his apparent mental hold over people instills an immediate fear. As in a game of chess, the play begins — but are the rules governing both sides evenly stacked? This is the fourth book under the Dancing Tuatara imprint to be published by Ramble House. Introduction by John Pelan.

Beast or Man?
Hardcover. Sean M'Guire wrote this lost race novel in 1930 when such stories were mired in racism and formula. But BEAST OR MAN? is more in the mold of H. Rider Haggard and addresses deeper themes, and at the same time, providing a rousing romp through Africa. This is the first book under the Dancing Tuatara Press imprint (DTP) which promises to include more novels of Sean M'Guire.

The Whistling Ancestors
Hardcover. The plot pits a poor sidewalk artist against a fiendish mastermind who is not only intent on world domination, but determined to kill all white people and for reasons that are never made entirely clear, wants to create nymphs, satyrs, and other Greek and Roman demigods through the miracle of vivisection! These characteristics alone would qualify Caspar Pettifranc to take his rightful place alongside John Sunlight, Wu Fang, Doctor Death and the other great villains of the American pulps, but Goddard doesn’t stop here. The author also makes Pettifranc a master of voodoo who thus can ring in zombies and the pantheon of loas. For reasons that the author allows to remain obscure, the loas are given to making odd whistling noises, hence the title of the book. Introduction by John Pelan.

The Heart Line: A Drama of San Francisco
Hardcover. 'The Heart Line' explores old San Francisco’s heights and its depths, the elegance and wealth of Nob Hill and the noisy, kaleidoscopic tinctures of the Barbary Coast. In this setting Francis Granthope, Fancy Gray, Clytie Payson, the monstrous Madam Spoil and the devious Doctor Masterson weave their tapestry of purity and debasement, adoration and hatred, loyalty and treachery, charity and greed. 'The Heart Line' was Gelett Burgess’s heartbroken elegy to the city he had come to love — and that no longer was.
