The Lineup
We are expecting copies of The Lineup to be delivered today. We have been told that each volume weighs 2.5lbs and we are going to have to charge $10 postage and handling for each volume. Sorry about that, but the postage is actually higher than that. If you are buying more than one copy the price will be pro-rated. International customers will be charged the actual cost by weight plus $3.00.
SIGNED BOOKS NOW AVAILABLE
Blood’s A Rover by James Ellroy completes The Underworld U.S.A. Trilogy (American Tabloid and The Cold Six Thousand are the first two books in the series). Set in the summer of 1968 following the assassination of both Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, this is political noir as only Ellroy can tell it. A Crime Collector’s Club Selection. $28.95
Hell’s Kitchen is a first novel by screenwriter Charles Kipps and introduces Conor Bard, a New York City homicide cop who works out of Hell’s Kitchen. When the body is found of a successful criminal defense attorney with rumored ties to the Mafia, Bard must deal with a long list of suspects. A Hard Boiled Club Selection. $25.00
The Vampire Archives, edited by Otto Penzler, is bound to be popular as Halloween approaches. This oversize paperback volume received rave reviews from Publisher’s Weekly not only because it is the most complete volume of vampire tales ever published, but also because of the superb extensive Bibliography compiled by our very own Dan Seitler. Otto and Dan will sign. $25.00
After the Fire, A Still Small Voice is a first novel by Evie Wyld set in Australia . This beautifully written story of two men and the wars that shaped them is high on Ian Kern’s list of favorites. $24.00
SIGNED FROM THE U.K.
Agatha Christie’s Secret Notebooks by John Curran is a very important contribution to the world of mystery. Curran deciphered Christie’s notebooks, 73 of them, after the death of Christie’s daughter. He discovered alternative plots, titles, and characters and previously unpublished work including two Hercule Poirot stories. We don’t have many of this title. $50.00
Lindsey Davis returns to her first love, the 17th century, with Rebels and Traitors, and pens a novel set against the English Civil War and the dark plots of the Commonwealth. Again, not many of this title. $48.00
The Price of Love by Peter Robinson is a collection of short stories, one of which features DCI Alan Banks. Not many of these either. $45.00
