Book excerpt: Mike Shayne tackles a baffling case of adultery and murder in the suburbs of Miami It’s the 4th and final day of the convention, and Marvin Blake is ready to go home. Dreading the evening’s festivities, he checks out of his hotel early and heads back to Sunray Beach, longing to see his wife, Ellie, and daughter, Sissy. When he reaches home late that night, his bedroom light is on—and his best friend’s car is parked in the driveway. His wife has been unfaithful, and Blake knows what he must do. He checks into a motel, pulls out the stationery, and prepares to take his life. The next morning, Ellie is found in her bedroom, stark naked and strangled to death. Miami reporter Tim Rourke picks up the story and brings in the only man who can untangle this web of lies: Mike Shayne. A seasoned professional, Shayne may think he’s seen it all, but he’ll soon find that, in suburbia, murder is never what it seems.

Book excerpt: When an author finds his friend murdered, he calls on hardboiled cop Jerry Burke to track down the killer In a lonely canyon high above El Paso, a ruthless millionaire and a hardline socialist live side by side. Raymond Dwight makes money mercilessly and Leslie Young hates the rich with a passion, but the men have coexisted peacefully—so far. But when Western novelist Asa Baker escapes to Young’s cabin for a weekend of writing, he can sense tension in the air. His friend has always muttered about tossing a few bombs at Dwight’s estate, but his jokes have stopped being funny. Baker has seen enough bloodshed to know that there is murder on the horizon. When he finds Young dead on the floor, a strange mark on his cheek, Baker calls the only man who can help: Jerry Burke, the toughest cop in El Paso. In the shadowy corners of this Texas canyon lie secrets that someone will kill to protect—and Burke is the only man daring enough to uncover the truth.

Book excerpt: From the author of the Mike Shayne Mysteries: A man’s obsessive affair with his wife’s teenage sister takes him down a dark and dangerous path. A quiet construction engineer in Denver, Colorado, Charlie Dell doesn’t need any complications in his life. But his wife, Irma, insists they take in her younger sister, Lois, as a matter of duty. Charlie bristles at the thought of having a seventeen-year-old girl around . . . until he gets one look at Lois. She’s a far cry from the buck-toothed kid Dell remembers, and more than willing to indulge in a little sin with her sister’s husband. Insane with passion, Dell starts cutting corners at work in order to find time alone with her. But actions have consequences—deadly, serious ones—and the further Dell goes to cover his tracks, the darker and more dangerous his path gets. “This is a taut, matter-of-fact novel—simply and powerfully written.” —The Nashville Tennessean Praise for Brett Halliday’s Mike Shayne Mysteries “[Mike Shayne is] one of the best of the tough sleuths.” —The New York Times “Unlike anything else in the genre.” —L.

As April’s legal guardian, Florence seems to relish the control she has over her stepdaughter. But April has her own ways of taking control. She’d kill Florence if she thought she could get away with it—she even says so in her diary. And now it seems she’ll get the chance.

But is Florence truly an evil stepmother—or is April truly capable of carrying out her darkest fantasies?
