Book excerpt: When hordes of people descend on the picturesque village of Nasely for the annual celebration of its most famous resident, murder mystery writer Agnes Crabbe, events take a dark turn as the festival opens with a shocking death. Each year the residents are outnumbered by crowds dressed as Crabbe's best-known character, the lady detective Millicent Cutter. The weekend is never a mild-mannered affair as fan club rivalries bubble below the surface, but tensions reach new heights when a second Crabbe devotee is found murdered. Though the police are quick to arrive on the scene, the facts are tricky to ascertain as the witnesses, suspects and victim are all dressed as Miss Cutter. And they all want to solve that crime too...

Book excerpt: A high school wallflower cooks up justice O la carte at her 20th reunion...A submissive wife sails her domineering husband straight to hell...A man disposes of his enemy in a murder only a writer could commit. This irresistible collection of original stories was born of a deliciously wicked idea: ask twelve of America's best writers to explore a single subject--people willing, often gleefully so, to kill for revenge. The result is a star-studded gathering of fiction's finest, and an infinitely satisfying banquet of..."Murder for Revenge. In Lawrence Block's chilling contribution, a serial killer transforms one victim's brother into his greatest defender--to his eternal regret! Revenge more immediate sizzles in Mary Higgins Clark's "Power Play," as a dashing ex-president and his congresswoman wife outwit terrorists hunting bigger game. Phillip Margolin's career criminal has an alibi to die for--which becomes a nail in the coffin of self-defense. Joyce Carol Oates administers revenge most satisfying in "Murder-Two" as a brilliant lawyer defends her first criminal client--her worst enemy's son. And in Peter Straub's "Mr. Clubb and Mr. Cuff," a betrayed husband discovers that if you have to ask the price of revenge, you can't afford to pay for it. Here is delicious retribution in these and seven more superb, all-new stories by Thomas H. Cook, Vicki Hendricks, Joan Hess, Judith Kelman, Eric Lustbader, David Morrell, and Shel Silverstein: America's favorite writers gathered together in one unforgettable volume--a wickedly entertaining exploration of sweet, cold-blooded revenge. Otto Penzler is the owner of The Mysterious Bookshops in New York City, Los Angeles, and London. Thefounder of The Mysterious Press and Otto Penzler Books, he is also the editor of the acclaimed collection "Murder for Love. He received an Edgar Award for the "Encyclopedia of Mystery and Detection, and was honored by the Mystery Writers of America in 1994 with the Ellery Queen Award for his contributions in the publishing field.

And trouble is what Janey Blake had plenty of. She had written a pile of bad checks. And she was fighting to keep her husband from the arms of another woman.... But other people had trouble too. Doc Wemitz, for example. He was afraid of something. And apparently he had reason — for one night someone bashed in his skull.... That was the same night that Janey hit her first jackpot in months — and found a gilded coin that a desperate killer would stop at nothing to retrieve.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With the appearance of Homer's study, it is no longerpossible to base any serious work about organized crime on the superficialdebate over whether or not this set of activities is dominated by one or moreparticular ethnic groups," writes political scientist Michael A.Weinstein in his introduction. Homer removes the study of organizedcrime from the realm of sensationalism and ethnic chauvinism, and places it inthe context of contemporary American social structure. He reviews prevalentmyths and hypotheses about organized crime and critically analyzes them in theframework of contemporary organization theory. In this context, organized crimeis analyzed in its economic, political, ethnic, and social class dimensions. Thisbook will pose a dilemma for American citizens, Weinstein concludes: "Will wechoose to ease our consciences by pretending that organized crime is an anomalyin American society to be eliminated by punitive action against particulargroups, or will we recognize that criminal matrices functionally interlock withmany other aspects of everyday life? Only the latter recognition will permit usto make a free decision about how we will act with respect to organized crime." Listed among the outstanding books of 1974 by both AmericanScholar and Society, Guns and Garlic is a recommended selection of the NationalCriminal Justice Reference Center, a division of the Law Enforcement AssistanceAssociation of the United States Department of Justice.

There aren’t any letters for him at the front desk or calls at reception. Bellboys, waiters, and bartenders all ignore him. When he reaches out to strangers, they look away. He’s alone in the world—and worse, he’s gripped by an icy terror that follows him everywhere. One night, it catches up to him. Carson, unloved and unknown, is found dead with a bullet between his eyes. In the dead man’s pocket, the police find a newspaper clipping about Mike Shayne, Miami’s toughest private investigator. The local chief is convinced Shayne was connected to the murder, and he will do whatever is necessary to put the detective behind bars. Shayne can handle the cops—it’s Carson’s widow that he needs to worry about. Murder and the Wanton Bride is the 30th book in the Mike Shayne Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
