* RAYMOND CHANDLER IN THE MARBLE ORCHARD by William F. Nolan - iBooks pb. A murder mystery in Los Angeles in the 1930's, narrated and starring Raymand Chandler, aided and abetted by his fellow raconteurs Dashiell Hammett and Erle Stanley Gardner. A mystery filled with all the glamour of Hollywood and its stars, from Orson Wells to Charlie Chaplin, and settings from the abandoned canals of Venice to the ornate hotel on Coronado Island. ... $7.00
* PRODIGAL CHALICE: OUTLANDERS #20 by James Axler - Gold Eagle pb. A former enforcer of the baronial police, Kane, with fellow renegade Grant and archivist Brigid Baptiste, discover a new gateway in Central America - one that could lead them deeper into a conspiracy that has doomed earth. Traversing a new Caribbean sea ruled by mutant creatures and ruthless pirates, they are lured into a search for an ancient relic that may promise a better future... or plunge humanity back into the dark ages. ... $7.00
* SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE GIANT RAT OF SUMATRA by Alan Vanneman - Carroll & Graf HC. Dr. John Watson had described it as "A story for which the world is not yet prepared". Here, hidden for more than a century in Dr. Watson's dispatch box, is the legend of Harat, the gigantic rat who rules over the nation of Bada and its "people who were not human". ... $24.00
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
