Murder in Shawnee TPB
Trade paperback. 'Murder In Shawnee' collects John Douglas’ two Detective Harter mysteries, 'Shawnee Alley Fire' and 'Haunts.' Shawnee may look like a small mountain city where nothing much takes place, but, as Edward Harter knows, anything can happen. As Harter works to solve his baffling cases, you’ll walk the streets and ride the back roads with him. You’ll visit all sorts of people and places in a recession-hit railroading city in the Alleghenies — a city inspired by Cumberland, Maryland, and the surrounding region of western Maryland, northeast West Virginia and southwest Pennsylvania.

A Roland Daniel Double tpb
Trade paperback. American readers will rarely see these two thrillers from the 30s by Britain's Roland Daniel. THE SIGNAL (1933) begins with a rich man receiving in the mail five beans (!) just before he's dispatched with a pistol by an unknown hand. Sounds like something Harry Stephen Keeler might have opined. And Fu Manchu has nothing on the inscrutable and titular Wu Fang, whose sordid machinations threaten a young American woman, her Secret Service beau, his cockney sidekick and Superintendent Bill Saville of the Yard. The wily celestial, introduced in 1934, has picked up some new tortures by 1937, and can't wait to try them on the whole crowd.

In this story, Sir Raymond Everett, ex-judge, is murdered in his mansion Heath Approach, and there is no shortage of suspects for Chief-Inspector Beale of Scotland Yard to interrogate and consider. Assisted as always by his friend and fellow-sleuth Tony Purdon, as well as Detective-sergeant ‘Horsey’ Matthews, also of the Yard, and the local constabulary, Beale finds this case one of the most challenging of his career.

Killer's Caress TPB
Trade paperback. Three black moles on a voluptuous siren’s shapely thigh lead Johnny Harding, dapper, wise-cracking columnist of the Daily Telegraph, into a web of crime and caresses adroitly spun by a spider of seduction.
For the debut of his popular character in book form, Cary Moran has written a fast-moving, thrill-packed story studded with laughs, mystery and passion. The Broadway scene, with its chicanery and un-moralities, forms the background for the characters who march across its pages; they are etched in terse, dynamic language.
If, for any reason, you object to the calling of a spade by its proper name, this is not for you — Cary Moran has avoided pulling his verbal punches. The women who weave their sensual way through his story live, love and lust. The men have red blood flowing through their veins.
We give you — if you can take it — a mystery story in the modern manner.
