Infused with eroticism, poignancy, and insight that cuts to the bone, these stories lead us into a tipping world of emotional wagers, loss and discovery, power and impulse. A marriage is tested as a mother struggles to cope with the disappearance of her prostitute daughter. Two angry women in a minivan act out their frustrations as they rampage through the night. A pill-dependent nurse juggles neuroses, infatuation, and exhaustion while supervising a high school dance-a-thon. A quiet tattoo artist takes in a homeless woman, and stumbles upon the true nature of beauty, jealousy, and love. Written in taut, unflinching prose, these stories are edgy and dark, sharply observed and uniquely imagined. As provocative as it is brilliant, Dead Girls introduces Nancy Lee as an astonishing and original new literary talent., McClelland & Stewart, 2002, San Francisco, CA, U.S.A.: Council Oak Books, 1995. 1st ed. Fine in dust jacket. 600+ pages. "Academia, with its potential for internecine politics, clandestine romances and murderous jealousies, has--like the small English village--always been a popular setting for the traditional mystery. Crosby makes excellent use of this familiar background ...in this first novel about the poisoning of the less-than-beloved president of a California college. An intriguing array of suspects includes the dead man's unhappy wife, the beautiful college dean with whom he may have had an affair, an angry lesbian photographer whom he denied tenure and a full complement of disgruntled male faculty members and administrators..." --PW. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book., Council Oak Books, 1995, " When editor Susan Ryeland is given the manuscript of Alan Conway's latest novel, she has no reason to think it will be much different from any of his others. After working with the bestselling crime writer for years, she's intimately familiar with his detective, Atticus Pünd, who solves mysteries disturbing sleepy English villages. An homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, Alan's traditional formula has proved hugely successful. So successful that Susan must continue to put up with his troubling behavior if she wants to keep her job.-Conway's latest tale has Atticus Pünd investigating a murder at Pye Hall, a local manor house. Yes, there are dead bodies and a host of intriguing suspects, but the more Susan reads, the more she's convinced that there is another story hidden in the pages of the manuscript: one of real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition, and murder.", HarperCollins Publishers, 2017, Raincoast Books, Canada, 2004. Softcover. Near Fine. 109 pages. Covers have superficial rubbing/wear. Spine is uncreased. Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. This lively book takes a loving look at the Canadian true crime pulps of the World War II era - their bold, brassy covers, spicy advertisements, and stories of murder, robbery, sex, and violence. With vivid archival images of both magazine covers and ads, True Crime, True North examines the themes that characterized the genre in Canada: the unquestioned adherence to retributive justice, the unwavering faith in lawmen, and the enduring affection for Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The authors also trace pulp writers' preoccupation with jealousy and betrayal, the deadly consequences of greed, and the growing menace of "sex fiends." Quantity Available: 1.
