Book excerpt: A roleplaying game of mystery and hardboiled action in a city that never sleeps. I woke with a start, my mouth tasting like an old glove and my head pounding from the events of the previous evening, though I wasn't sure if it was the beating from Benny's boys or the half bottle of drugstore whiskey that had done the most damage. I lifted my eyelids like stubborn blinds to find my gaze fall on a dame with a hundred-dollar purse in one hand and a cheap bean-shooter in the other. I groaned and cursed myself for ever getting involved in this mess... In Hard City, character creation is swift and simple, generating competent yet flawed individuals and focusing on what sets them apart as they walk the fine line between right and wrong. Fast action resolution places the emphasis on the momentum of the plot, while the sandbox setting provides evocative hooks for adventures – fight crooks, rescue the innocent, thwart blackmail plots (or start them!), or uncover corruption in the Mayor's office. Stalk the mean streets of a world filled with two-bit thugs, hard-nosed gumshoes, intrepid reporters, gangsters, and femme fatales, all doing what they must to survive in the concrete jungle. With trouble around every corner, a secret on every lip, and a gun in every pocket, danger is never far away in the hard city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complete collection of fifteen stories starring one of pulp fiction’s most hardened PIs, with accompanying illustrations It’s hot in St. Louis, and Donahue is looking for a hired gun. An ex–New York cop who got canned from the NYPD after raiding the wrong gambling joint, Donahue has spent four years on the job as a private detective—punishing work that’s turned him from a tough customer into one of the most hard-boiled operatives in the country. A killer named Micky Shane has skipped New York for St. Louis, and Donahue has come to find him. When he does, it won’t be good for Donahue—but it’ll be a whole lot worse for Shane. In his days writing Donahue stories for Black Mask magazine, Frederick Nebel was as popular and well respected as Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. Although his name is no longer widely known, these classic tales of two-fisted justice have lost none of their grit or their bite.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Gems fascinate me . . . the way women do. Like women, each gem is different. Each has its own individual coloring and shape. It can be a glittering thing, full of fire–or it can be cold and forbidding.” Mike Sloan, most-wanted jewel thief and respectable jeweler on the side, was an expert with both gems and women. He could always get a beautiful woman to front for him. But tonight was his biggest and most dangerous job–and it would take more than a beautiful woman to keep Mike Sloan warm . . . and alive! He’s a tough-guy with elegance, style and a romantic weakness for dolls. Gems and dames—a deadly combination!

Download or read book The Truman Gumshoes written by J.K. Van Dover and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-01-31 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hard-boiled style of detective fiction emerged in America in the years after the First World War. In the late 1940s, following the Depression, the New Deal, and the Second World War, a new generation of young writers revisited the conventions governing the fictional private eye, and began to move him (the tough detective was still always male) and his world in new directions. This book examines the work of the four most important writers of this second generation of hard-boiled fiction. It offers the first substantial literary analysis of the Max Thursday novels of Wade Miller and the Carney Wilde novels of Bart Spicer, and it develops new perspectives on the well-known Mike Hammer novels of Mickey Spillane and the Lew Archer novels of Ross Macdonald. A particular focus is upon the theme of the detective's status as a loner who succeeds in discovering truth and achieving justice because he works outside organized social structures.

Book excerpt: Up from the Chicago slums, schooled in sin and violence, Ray Hitchcock understood only three words—self-preservation, avarice and lust. He had a mind like a steel trap; ice-water in his veins; dynamite in his fists; cold stone where his heart should have been. To him, every woman was simply a female who had her price. Ray also had a scheme to swindle a million dollars, and he vowed that neither the cops nor the crime syndicate were going to push him against the rail! Then he began to get the dirty end of the deal. William Rohde, a master craftsman of the hard-boiled novel school blasts the lid off New York’s newest and ugliest racket—a brutal, one-man extortion game in which loose-moneyed, loose-moral-ed men and women are easy prey for underworld leeches like The Heel, Ray Hitchock. He was a cruel, cunning mobster who played Romeo to an expensive, man-hungry blonde—long enough to get a crack at a million dollar jackpot. Smart as a whip, Hitchcock could have been successful as a straight-up businessman; unfortunately, his ego got in the way—causing him to always look for an angle and a quick and easy buck.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Her name was Tessie Cullen and she was beautiful… and she shook the dice in a joint in Coalfield–the most sinful city south of Chicago. The hoods owned Coalfield, owned its corrupt, neon body and soul and they had a lease on Tessie, too. A short-term lease, maybe, but it kept her in line. But they never figured on Tessie’s falling in love. They never figured on Hally Harper, the crusading young lawyer who came to Coalfield to blow the lid off it and its jungle of rackets. The odds were all on murder. Tessie’s. Coalfield’s most popular event, The Sparrow Hawk Derby, is the backdrop for intrigue, deception and greed. It seems the Big Boys from Chicago have a personal interest in the Derby, knowing much dough can be made from all that betting. Harper has an interest, as well. He’s actually a federal narcotics agent on the trail of a huge shipment of opium that’s gone missing. What he doesn’t expect to find is murder. Tessie knows just enough to get herself killed by

Book excerpt: First Digital Edition; Grier Rating: A*** A young and passionate girl, Chris Hamilton, is also an incredibly handsome one. You would hardly have suspected her of harboring powerful hungers and unconventional desires—unless you knew of her love affair with another woman, a lovely blonde appropriately named Dizz. Dizz accepted the advances of Chris, yet withheld her love. Deliberately, perhaps to torment Chris, she allowed herself an affair with a man. She behaved so coldly, so harshly, Chris could not keep herself from spending her weekends in successive one-night stands searching for tenderness and love. And then, she met the sweet Carol Martin. Carol fell hard for Chris, unaware that Chris was struggling to break her binds to Dizz. Was there any escape for Chris? Could she break away from the emotional web she found herself in? Could she heal herself with work, with the tender embraces of Carol? Or would she deny herself a chance at true love in meaningless embraces with different women each night? The answer is disclosed in this delicate yet unblushingly frank novel—which courageously dispels the myths surrounding unconventional love.

Book excerpt: They called him Johnny Berlin and he had an instinct for cards, for trouble… for dames. He’d dealt at all the biggest tables in Reno and Vegas. He’d told the head of the gambling syndicate to go to hell–and repeated the message to his hired killers. He’d had women throwing themselves at him at every turn… and he loved it. That was Johnny Berlin. Who would have thought he’d find the dice loaded against him in a peanut-sized town off a back road in northern California? Who would have thought he’d fall for a nice girl? And who would have thought he’d risk his life for her? Nobody–least of all Johnny Berlin himself. On his way from San Francisco, Johnny gets lost in the fog while driving the coastal route to Portland, Oregon. Stopping to get directions from a stranger turns out to be deadly, when that stranger—a dangerous racketeer—turns up dead… and Johnny is pegged as the killer. Now it’ll take all his smarts and toughness to save himself and the woman he loves.

This book was released on 2014-11-26 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "According to a recent Harris Poll concussion rates for children under age 19 who play tackle football have doubled over the last decade, most occurring during practices. Anthony Davis had the equivalent brain of an eighty-five-year-old man. And yet he was only 55 years old when he met Dr Amen. How do you suppose a former professional football and superstar college player might acquire such extreme damage to his brain? Head injuries, concussions, traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE are all part of the answer. Through his diligent efforts, Anthony Davis has rehabbed his brain working one on one with Dr. Amen and his team. His pioneering, selfless efforts with the issues of brain trauma,and in particular, the effects of concussions in his professional football career, has moved the subject of Football Concussions out of the dark corners of afflicted athletes and their fearful, angry and confused families into the very center of American debate. Davis' most memorable performance was also one of the most impressive single-game football performances ever recorded, scoring six touchdowns (four rushing, two on kick returns) in a single game against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in 1972. This book will shock you , educate you and share a little about the sport industry as a whole. Most of all it will inspire you to spread the word and talk more about this important problem in our sporting events"--Amazon.com.

From the moment she fell in love as a teenager with Stella, Kathy knew her life would take a difficult path. She tried to resist her feelings—tried to be the person her family wanted her to be—but the lure of another woman’s love was too powerful. And so Kathy strayed the dark and hidden path among the twilight women, doing things her body urged her to do, until one night she made a choice that would change her life forever and set a devastating series of events in motion. Here is the story of a lesbian, and of the actions she would attempt to undertake, when trying to disavow her body’s urgings.
