Dark Shadows

Edmund Glasby

Ever since agent Daniel Myers had fl ed from Turkey with stolen secret papers vital for Western interests and entered Bulgaria, he had been aware of a certain disturbing atmosphere. Bulgaria was a place that was steeped in the old ways and ancient, dark gypsy beliefs and superstitions. A time-haunted land of mystery and evil in which the Western, modern way of life seemed to hold little sway. Things happened here. Inexplicably terrible things which were mentioned only in hushed whispers by frightened peasants. With his pursuers hot on his heels, and almost certain death awaiting him if he was caught, Myers took refuge with an isolated gypsy community—only to face an even greater peril that would challenge his sanity…

But True soon learns about Laird's ulterior motive for inviting him and Polly out to sea. The Lucky Duck has become haunted by the ghost of Captain Henry Robbins, a smuggler who years ago commanded the ship.

All White Girls

Michael Bracken

They're dying in the fleshpits in the Windy City. They're all white girls. One young woman is missing. Another is dead. They were drawn to the Windy City like moths to a flame, but the city's bright lights can't illuminate every dark corner. Hidden in the alleys and back streets and in a three-block long stretch of strip clubs and adult book stores are the men who prey on young women like these: the pedophiles, pimps, and pornographers. When former partners, unlicensed private investigator Big Dick Rickenbacher and Homicide Lieutenant Salvador Castellano, find their cases overlapping in this violent world of sexual depravity, old flames rekindle, old secrets finally surface, and old crimes demand retribution. An erotically charged hardboiled noir mystery! "ALL WHITE GIRLS is a one-sitting, in-your-face, rapid-fire, hard-boiled mystery: and it's damn good.... This is not a book to lend to your mother (at least not my mother). ALL WHITE GIRLS is full of sexual depravity. But oh is it fun!"–David Meerman Scott, I Love A Mystery Newsletter. "…this is one of the best pieces of hard-boiled fiction I've read in a long time. It's lean, it's short, and it left me feeling like I'd been dumped in an alley behind one of strip clubs in the story. 'All White Girls' is a sorely needed reinvention of the tired serial killer tale." –James Winter, Plots With Guns!

Old Hoggen: A Mystery

Bram Stoker

When Old Hoggen disappeared, everyone in Charmouth suspected foul play. Hoggen had been rich, powerful – and not well liked. Suspicions fall on summer vacationers…and in particularly newcomers Augustus, his wife, mother-in-law, and Cousin Jemima (who bears a striking resemblance to the missing man). When Augustus actually finds the Old Hoggen's body washed ashore in a storm, events take a decidedly sinister turn. A strikingly good, exceedingly rare mystery from the author of Dracula! (The text is taken from the 1893 newspaper apperarance in «The Courier-Journal» of Louisville, Kentucky.)
