February 2002 Catalog - Mystery and Adventure
* HISTORY OF MYSTERY edited by Max Allen Collins - Collector's Press HC. Another massive success story from those wizards at Collector's Press. A slightly different format than the magnificent SF/HORROR/FANTASY IN THE 20TH CENTURY, this book in their Art Fiction series is wider and not quite as tall, just shy of 200 pages and printed with very high quality full color for every page. I'm particularly pleased that they chose Max Allen Collins to provide the text, making this not only beautiful but informative and entertaining. ... $45.00
* THE LOST CASES OF ED LONDON by Lawrence Block - Crippen and Landru HC. First book publication of the three Ed London stories that appeared between 1962 and 1963 in Man's Magazines. As might be expected from that publication, they are filled with gunmen, stag party girls and ultra-tough operative Ed London. Accompanying each copy is a separately printed pamphlet, the first chapter of the Ed London Novel DEATH PULLS A DOUBLECROSS. Limited to 650 numbered copies and Signed by the Author. No Discount. ... $42.00
* KALEIDOSCOPE by Dorothy Gilman - Ballantine HC. For us it's been twenty-five years, but for Madame Karitska it's only months since she's last helped Detective-Lieutenant Pruden or thrown one of her small but always entertaining dinner parties. Once again, her elusive clairvoyant abilities combined with the experiences of a long, very busy life help solve a number of perplexing problems, while she works her personal magic turning complete strangers into life-long friends. ... $21.00
* THE CLAIRVOYANT COUNTESS by Dorothy Gilman - Fawcett pb. Madame Karitska has been as poor as a beggar in Kabul, as rich as a landed Countess, and has always used her psychic powers to help others. But for the first time in her very long, eventful life, her unique talents draw her to opening a Psychic Readings business and declare to the world what's always been a well-kept secret. ... $7.00
THE EYES HAVE IT, edited by Robert J. Randisi - Mysterious Press HC. The First Private Eye Writers of America Anthology. Includes stories by Lawrence Block, Max Allan Collins, Michael Collins, Loren D. Estleman, William F. Nolan, Sara Paretsky and Bill Pronzini among others.

* DOOMSDAY EXAM: BUREAU 13 #2 by Nick Pollotta - Wildside Press Tpb. Hell is literally set loose on Earth during a massive jailbreak from the Bureau 13 Holding Facility. Among the horde of unkillable creatures is a madman with a plan to siphon off all the world's magic and become a god! Fighting every inch of the way to track the lethal escaped lunatic, Ed and his team of Green Berets and wizards grab some students from the Bureau training Acadamy to replenish their weakened ranks. But the last to graduate is often the first to die... ... $15.95
JUDGEMENT NIGHT: BUREAU 13 #1 by Nick Pollotta - Wildside Press Tpb. Bureau 13 is the ultra-covert branch of the FBI assigned to handle supernatural criminals. The public doesn't know they exist, the President denies any knowledge of their actions and not every Bureau 13 operative is a human being. Yet these heavily-armed federal agents are America's first, last and only line of defense against the growing tide of monstrous evil. Originally published in 1982 (years before the X-Files!) this edition is updated and expanded. A fast-moving, hard hitting mix of science fiction, fantasy, mystery and adventure. ... $15.95
* SUNCHILD: DEATHLANDS by James Axler - Gold Eagle pb. A pre-dark legacy of shattered promise lies beneath the ruins of nuke-ravaged Seattle. Ryan Cawdor and his warrior companions come face-to-face with the ancestors of a secret society whose members were convinced that paradise awaited at the center of the earth. In this labyrinthine ville, some of the descendants of the Illuminated Ones are pursuing the dream of their legacy--while others are dedicated to its nightmare. Even in the Deathlands, twisted human beliefs endure... ... $6.00
