Classic Mysteries by Bill James, Margot Arnold, and Phoebe Atwood Taylor Detective Colin Harpur mysteries, by Bill James There’s intrigue right from the start of this new entry in Bill James’s Harpur and Iles series: A houseful of paintings is stolen and the body of a finely dressed stranger is discovered. Villainous drug dealers fight for dominance on Constable Iles and Detective Harpur’s turf. While the kingpins maneuver and scheme, Harpur is helped-or hindered?-by his very persistent daughters and by Iles’s irregular and perhaps illicit methods. In this fast-paced thriller, there’s no telling who will catch the next bullet. $23.95 “A master at creating chaos, James contains the paranoia through sheer force of style—an ironic idiom of elegant manners, ornate language and seething rage. Nothing vulgar or barbaric, but ... 'tidy' and 'hygienic' and madly funny.” —Marilyn Stasio, New York Times “Part of what makes this decidedly creepy stuff fascinating is the brilliant prose.” —Washington Post Book Review $14.95 For years Panicking Ralph Ember and Mansel Shale have run profitable drugs empires in peaceful cooperation with each other, and ACC Iles will blind-eye their trade as long as it keeps violence off the streets. But this happy arrangement is threatened by foreign dealers moving in and offering not just drugs, but punters—exploited girls from Eastern Europe. $23.95 $14.95 A large, carefully plotted “cash-in-transit” raid goes hopelessly awry when armed policemen intervene to seize the perpetrators. Detective Chief Superintendent Colin Harpur and Assistant Chief Constable Desmond Iles are delegated the job of hiding and protecting the informant and his family.
$13.95 $14.95 Margot Arnold's Penny Spring and Sir Toby Glendower mystery series When a mutilated corpse is found in a cranberry bog on the Dimola estate, Penelope Spring is summoned to the Cape. “A Margot Arnold mystery is always a pleasure . . . She should be better known, particularly since her mysteries are often compared to those of the late Ngaio Marsh.” —Chicago Sun-Times $12.95 “Margot Arnold is an honest-to-goodness mystery writer, with a sense of humor to boot.” —Chicago Sun-Times $12.95 Phoebe Atwoods Taylor's Asey Mayo mystery series Phoebe Atwood Taylor was the author of the Asey Mayo mystery series and, under the pseudonym Alice Tilton, the Leonidas Witherall mystery series. She also wrote under the name Freeman Dana. $10.95
$10.95 “These period who-dunnits recall simpler, more carefree times, and sparkle with the Yankee wit and salty idiom of Asey Mayo, a local handyman who knows something about police work and everything about everybody's business.” $10.95 $10.95 $10.95 $10.95
