Diplomatic Corpse

Phoebe Atwood Taylor

"Buff" Orpington arrived in picturesque Quanomet to find the little Cape Cod town in ferment. A stupendous pageant of American history was being staged, and the inhabitants of Quanomet had time and thought for nothing else. But all was not as it should be in the small community. There had been more curious incidents than could be attributed to the usual petty jealousies and maneuverings for the best parts and positions. Quanomet was, in fact, in its modest way about to make history, and Buff finds himself taking an uncomfortably prominent role when he discovers a newly made corpse in the cemetery. After too long an absence, Asey Mayo, the salty Cape Cod Sherlock, returns in fine form to solve the baffling murder in his own inimitable way.

Dead and in Person! A David Beauchamp Mystery

Michael Mallory

For L.A.’s most uncertain private investigator (and old movie buff) Dave Beauchamp, attending the Hollywood Celebrity Expo should have been Heaven. But it wasn’t, particularly when the show’s stars started turning up dead in highly unusual and personal ways. Before long, Dave finds himself struggling to make sense out of a bizarre case that appears rooted in an unsolved string of murders from the 1980s. Both grippingly suspenseful and laugh-out-loud funny, Dead and In Person! demonstrates that in the real La-La-Land, vintage Hollywood and vintage secrets can sometimes go hand-in-hand in disturbing and deadly ways. PRAISE FOR MICHAEL MALLORY’S “DAVE BEAUCHAMP” SERIES: “When author Michael Mallory doesn’t have the readers smiling at his clever asides and observations, he’ll have them laughing out loud.” –Robert S. Levinson, bestselling author of The Stardom Affair. “Take a befuddled Hollywood detective whose very name most people can’t pronounce correctly, and set him on the trail of a murderer…and you have the making of a darkly comedic romp.” –Robert Masello, TV writer and bestselling author of The Jekyll Revelation. “You get two for the price of one, a funny romp and a mystery, with a little Hollywood dish thrown in. What more you could ask for?” –Paul D. Marks, Shamus Award-winning author of White Heat.

Can a Mermaid Kill?

Thomas B. Dewey

So unmoving was the girl sitting on the wet rocks that, at first, she seemed a permanent feature of the rugged seascape. She was wearing an expensive evening dress and high-heel slippers. She seemed to be in a deep trance, her gaze fixed on the sea, motionless except for the tossing of her delicate blond hair in the morning breeze. And as his steps brought him closer, he thought he had never seen anything so strange, so lovely, so vulnerable … until he caught sight of the gun in her hand!
