MURDER IS MY BUSINESS!

COMING SOON FROM HARD CASE CRIME ~ AND 'YA GOTTA' LOVE THE MCGINNIS COVER!

Ten years ago, private eye Mike Shayne did a job for one of the richest men in El Paso, digging up dirt on a boy courting the tycoon’s daughter. Now the daughter’s back, all grown up and dangerous. And so’s Shayne—but this time it’s to investigate murder...

First publication in 20 years
One of the most popular detectives of all time, Mike Shayne starred in more than 70 novels, a dozen movies, a TV series, radio dramas, comic books, and the long-running Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine

Filmmaker SHANE BLACK, creator of Lethal Weapon and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, on the Work of BRETT HALLIDAY

"In this age of private eyes with cats, funny neighbors, and relationship woes—here’s to 40’s thriller writer Brett Halliday, whose baffling, bullet-paced capers have come to light again.

"Halliday’s books were marvels of misdirection. Red herrings, skewed motives, mistaken identities—he did everything but come to your house and bang cymbals.

"Halliday’s plots are byzantine gems. This is back when mystery writers were so much smarter than you and me. Want an engrossing read? Pick this one up.

"Never heard of this book? No matter. It’s been waiting patiently, poised to dazzle you with raw, ingenious storytelling. Halliday is the king of the baffler novel. Pure pleasure.

"How long can Halliday’s best-selling books remain dormant, undiscovered...? The answer: not a minute longer, thanks to Hard Case Crime."

STEAMPUNK CORNER: STEAMPUNK PRIME!

EDITED BY MIKE ASHLEY

JULY 1, 2010

Discover original steampunk tales in this anthology of stories written before there were actual rocketships, atomic power, digital computers, or readily available electricity.

The modern day steampunk genre is a reinventing of the past through the eyes of its inventors and adventures, but this collection is from real Victorians and Edwardians who saw the future potential of science and its daring possibilities. Steam-powered automobiles, submarines, and robots are featured alongside great airships and spaceships in these bold and creative stories of hope, triumph, and disaster.

CAT ADAMS

JUNE 8, 2010

Bodyguard Celia Graves plies her trade in a world where vampires roam the alleys of Tinseltown and movie stars openly practice witchcraft., where streetcorner psychics have real powers and cops use memory enhancement spells on witnesses. Though she’s an ordinary human, Celia uses street smarts and charmed weapons to protect the rich and famous from mortal and supernatural threats.

She’s landed a plum job, protecting the Prince of a small but politically vital nation while he tours Los Angeles’s least savory hot spots. What should be a routine assignment goes badly wrong. Attacked by a master vampire, Celia knows she is about to die.

She’s startled to awaken on a cold metal table in a university lab. Celia Graves has become an Abomination, neither fully mortal nor fully vampire. Her “master” is hunting her, to destroy her or finish what his bite began. She’s accused of murder and the cops aren’t sure whether she should be locked up or staked. And then there’s the demon she glimpsed during the vampire attack…

Struggling to cope with her new powers and trying not to terrify everyone she meets with a flash of fang, Celia reaches out for help from her once (and future?) lover, who is a powerful mage; his warrior-priest brother; a handsome werewolf who keeps his lupine nature concealed from the world; an elderly clairvoyant, and one trustworthy cop.

Celia Graves has three days to save the world, her sanity, and her soul.

FANTASY CORNER: A DEVIL IN THE DETAILS!

K. A. STEWART

JUNE 6, 2010

Every lost soul needs a champion.

Jesse James Dawson was an ordinary guy (well, an ordinary guy with a black belt in karate), until the day he learned his brother had made a bargain with a demon. Jesse discovered there was only one way to save his brother: put up his own soul as collateral, and fight the demon to the death.

Jesse lived to free his brother–and became part of a loose organization of Champions who put their own souls on the line to help those who get in over their heads with demons. But now experienced Champions are losing battles at a much higher rate than usual. Someone has changed the game. And if Jesse can’t figure out the new rules, his next battle may be his last…

Y/A CORNER: I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER!

Y/A CORNER: I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER!

DAN WELLS

Fifteen-year-old John Wayne Cleaver knows he’s different, but not because he has but one friend (and doesn’t much like him) and not because he regularly helps out in his mother’s mortuary. He’s different because he recognizes the classic signs of an incipient serial killer in his own personality, and he’s created a rigid set of rules to follow to keep his darker nature in check. When a string of grisly murders begins in Clayton, John’s small hometown, he uses his specialized knowledge of serial killers to investigate. Will the darkness on the outside intensify the darkness within? Especially when he finds there is much more to this killer than anyone expects . . . even John.

Wells’s debut, the first in a projected trilogy starring a character who seems the love child of Showtime’s Dexter and F. Paul Wilson’s Repairman Jack, is an unabashedly gory gem. While certainly not for all audiences, this deft mix of several genres features a completely believable teenage sociopath (with a heart of gold), dark humor, a riveting mystery and enough description of embalming to make any teen squeamish even if they won’t admit it. Buy multiples where it won’t be banned.

BARBIE GOES FOR MAD MEN!

BARBIE GOES FOR MAD MEN!

The first Barbie doll was launched in around the same period as the award winning television show Mad Men depicts. So what could be better than to combine the two and release a special Mad Men collectors series for adults. Here's a fun chance to act out what adventures could happen with Don Draper with wife Betty and ginger bombshell Joan Holloway in the same bedroom... or then again, maybe not.

For anyone who still has a childlike mind the doll versions of Don and Betty Draper, Roger Sterling and Joan Holloway will be available to buy in July with a suggested retail price of $74.95 each. Cigarettes and Martinis not included.

A COUPLE OF TRIBUTE SMOKE RINGS TO ULTRA SWANK

FORGOTTEN BOOKS: JOHN MACNAB!

FORGOTTEN BOOKS: JOHN MACNAB!

JOHN BUCHAN

Last weekend I finally saw and enjoyed the latest production of John Buchan’s The 39 Steps on PBS. This latest version starred an effective Rupert Penry- Jones as Richard Hannay along with lots of running across the Scottish Moors, swooping planes, and vintage cars.

I’ve seen all of the films, and the recent stage play, based on The 39 Steps (unarguably Buchan’s most famous work), and this new version held up well. However, It could not erase the scene in the Robert Powell version, where Powell (as Hannay) finds himslef hanging from the hands of Big Ben.

After my DVR finished showing this latest outing, I felt the need to comb through my fairly complete collection of Buchan’s tales kept in an obscure corner of my bookshelves. In doing so, I picked up and begand to reread my favorite Buchan book John MacNab.

A ‘rattlin guid yarn,’ published in 1925, John MacNab is the perfect example of Buchan's peculiarly Scottish combination of Romanticism and Calvinism – daring living and high thinking.

Part myth, part ancient legend, John MacNab was a daring Scottish gentleman poacher, a mist on the moors who was never caught, and a blight on the rich landowners who could never trip him up. When the owners of three Scottish estates receive a note, signed John MacNab, informing them of a plan to poach two stags and a salmon from each without getting caught, it appears the legend is back.

The three heroes behind the ressurection of John Macnab have everything to lose if their daring exploit should fail. Each is a leader in his field – one is a barrister and was the Attorney-General, one a Cabinet Minister, one an eminent banker – yet each is suffering from an indefinable boredom and lethargy in London.

In their attempt to cure themselves of ennui, each man finds himself risking more than his reputation as Buchan, at the height of his writing power, delights in the twists of his story, his richly drawn characters, and the Highland landscape in what endures as his best-loved, if not most famous, tales of adventure.

I thoroughly enjoyed rediscovering John MacNab and recommend it highly as a cure for anyone suffering from reading ennui.

IN THE LOUNGE: SUE RANEY!

IN THE LOUNGE: SUE RANEY!

ALL BY MYSELF (1964)

KELLY’S LOUNGE SOUNZ DELIVERS ANOTHER SENSUAL GIRL SINGER . . .

In 1963 Capitol Records producer Lee Gillette was looking for a way to amp up the singing career of young crooner Sue Raney. Impossibly young when she entered the music business, Raney nevertheless had the talent, looks and delivery of a star -- she just needed to shake that "little girl" aspect and tap into a more "adult" vein. Gillette tried to secure Stan Kenton as her backing arranger (for the album that would become "All by Myself"), but when that fell through, Capitol house arranger Ralph Carmichael was brought on board and he channeled that stabbing, boisterous Kenton vibe to a T. In fact, the arrangements proved so volatile that Raney wondered how she was going to compete.

Well, she mostly succeeded. Some tracks (like the explosive opener, "Some of These Days") find Raney struggling to overcome the blasting brass which all but bury her vocal line. She was not as forceful as Anita O'Day, nor did she have the shrewd phrasing talents of, say, June Christy, but Raney did have a sweet, sweet voice -- maybe not powerful enough to blast through the more bombastic numbers, but on slow burners (like the über-sensual "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" or the appropriately melancholy "Here's That Rainy Day") her breathy delivery is stunning.

The album's title track is without a doubt the most successful venture here. By peeling away the flash and getting down to an intimate purr, "All By Myself"'s comely arrangement allows Raney to whisper in your ear, which is ultimately the best way she comes across on record. ~ J. Scott McClintock

THE LIFE OF JIMMY MCHUGH

ALYN SHIPTON

This first biography of Jimmy McHugh captures a lively and significant contributor to American songwriting. Creator of favorite tunes such as "I'm in the Mood for Love" and "On the Sunny Side of the Street," McHugh was a one-man history of twentieth-century popular music: in his prolific composing career, he wrote songs for Duke Ellington, Shirley Temple, Bobby Breen, Carmen Miranda, Deanna Durbin, Frank Sinatra, Ethel Waters, Adelaide Hall, and scores of other entertainers. His last works were turned into smash hits by Pat Boone and Fats Domino, making McHugh one of the few musicians to have written successfully for numerous genres from ragtime to rock 'n' roll.

Following McHugh from humble Irish-American beginnings in Boston to eventual success in New York, Europe, and Los Angeles, Alyn Shipton deftly evokes the lively milieus of Tin Pan Alley, the Cotton Club, Broadway, and Hollywood. McHugh began his career in the classical world working alongside such superstars as Enrico Caruso, but he soon became a song plugger for Irving Berlin and began writing his own popular songs during World War I. He crossed the color line frequently, writing revues for African American casts at the Cotton Club as well as for Gertrude Lawrence, Bob Crosby, and Florenz Ziegfeld. He and his songwriting partner Dorothy Fields were also among the first to create Hollywood musical films.

In the 1940s, McHugh began heroic efforts at fundraising for the war effort and for the crusade against polio, and as a result he became a leading member of the Beverly Hills community. His involvement extended to the East Coast as well, as he had political and friendly social ties in New England politics and with the Kennedy family in particular, and he also wrote the official state song of Massachusetts. He continued to write songs for shows, movies, and revues and managed up-and-coming singers late in his life.

JAMES BOND: LICENSE TO QUOTE!

THE QUOTABLE DOUBLE-0 SEVEN!

1500 HUMOROUS QUOTATIONS ABOUT THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS SECRET AGENT!

NOW AVAILABLE IN BOTH UK AND US EDITIONS

License to ‘Quote’ is the first book of humorous quotations solely dedicated to the ever-expanding universe surrounding James Bond 007. This volume — of 1500 light-hearted quote — uniquely focuses on humorous comments made about 007 rather than direct quotes from the Bond films or books.

“Bond has no sense of humour, telling only one joke in all 14 books (in Goldfinger) — and it isn’t very funny).” Anthony Horowitz in The Daily Telegraph (2008)

“I’ve always been fascinated by Bond’s gadgets. The guy who gave them to him — ’Q' — must have been psychic. He always gave him exactly what he bloody well wanted.” Eddie Izzard

PER COMMANDERBOND.NET

License to ‘Quote’ is all over the lighter side of Double-0 Seven like a cheap safari suit on Roger Moore. Bond’s life & legend, books & movies, enemies & lovers, cars & gadgets all come in for close inspection. 007 is as much a sitting target for defecation by the sardonic snipers in the press as an object of deification by the eulogistic empathists populating the fansites.

License to ‘Quote’ turns the tables on the world’s favourite spy and turns the spotlight on him. A veritable Who’s Who of observers and commentators — from all over the globe — take dead aim at James Bond: man & myth, superspy & superstar.

Comical contributions come from his creators, his biographers, his critics, his fans, his imitators and from a wide selection of media sources over the last 50 years.

SINATRA SINGS GERSHWIN!

SINATRA SINGS GERSHWIN!

KELLY’S LOUNG SOUNDZ GIVES US SOME TASTY EAR CANY WITH THIS DOWNLOAD OF RARE SINATRA RECORDINGS

Sinatra Sings Gershwin collects 17 previously unreleased and ultra-rare recordings and radio performances from early in Sinatra's career. Of the seventeen tracks a whopping thirteen were previously unreleased. On a CD that runs a satisfying 50 minutes almost half the songs (the final seven tracks, and the highlight of the disc) comprise a "Tribute to George Gershwin" radio show. This uncovered treasure hadn't been heard publicly since the night of its broadcast – June 4, 1947.

From the first track, a peppy version of Gershwin’s “Somebody Loves Me”, there is a jazzy urgency not found in other Sinatra live shows. The musicianship, in spots, is also superior, improvisations and solos more frequent. Axel Stordahl arranged and conducted most of the tracks with George Siravo, Dick Stabile and Jeff Alexander adding their talents as well. Dinah Shore joined Frank Sinatra in a duet setting and lent her great voice to "It Ain't Necessarily So", while The Pied Pipers were featured in "Somebody Loves Me" and were joined by MGM star Jane Powell for the "Porgy and Bess Medley".

The '47 radio show was titled "Songs by Sinatra". After a snippet of the show's regular theme music – with Sinatra singing the opening bars of one of his signature tunes "Night and Day" – the singer launches into his heartfelt tribute to composer George Gershwin. Sinatra first praises orchestra conductor Axel Stordahl "for preparing 30 minutes of fine arrangements" – then alerts his radio audience to the special treats in store: "Janie Powell just flew in (to New York) from set 17 at MGM to sing 'Summertime' AND the celebrated Pied Pipers have a few diminished ninths they'd like to slip into your loudspeaker . . . AND we've brought over a fine mixed chorus, headed by Ken Lane . . . so relax and enjoy the immortal music of George Gershwin."

TRACKLISTING:

01) Somebody Loves Me
02) I've Got A Crush On You
03) Embraceable You
04) Someone To Watch Over Me
