Blood Red River
Summary
A Western Writers of America Spur nominee, Walter Lucas fills this action packed western with the realistic details of life in hunting camps and rough towns. His characters are the men and women - both white and Indian - who made history at the battle of Adobe Walls. In 1874, Texas frontiersmen are hunting buffalo and driving the Comanche and Kiowa from their land. Finally, armed for war, the Indians head for the white man's trading post. Unflinching yet touching, both brutal and heartbreaking, Blood Red River is western writing at its very best.

Hark!
Summary
Ed McBain concocts a brilliant and intricate thriller about a master criminal who haunts the city with cryptic passages from Shakespeare, directing the detectives of the 87th Precinct to a future crime - if only they can figure out what he means. The 87th Precinct gets a visit from one of the city's most accomplished criminals - a thief known as the Deaf Man... because he might be deaf. Or he might not be. So little is known about the man who is harassing Detective Steve Carella with puzzling messages that it is hard to tell. But as soon as a pattern emerges, the detectives of the 87th are forced to hit the books and brush up on their Shakespeare - because each new clue contains a line from one of his plays. Unless they can crack this complicated riddle and beat the Deaf Man at his own cat-and-mouse game, someone is going to end up hurt, or something will be stolen - or both. It's always so hard to tell with the Deaf Man. Ed McBain brings his most intelligent and devious criminal back to the 87th Precinct with a richly plotted and literary crime.

Frumious Bandersnatch
Summary
It should have been the night that launched a new pop idol. Tamar Valparaiso is young and beautiful, with the body and voice of an angel. The stage is set for her to launch her debut album, Bandersnatch, on a luxury yacht in the heart of the city. But halfway through her performance, masked men drag Tamar off the stage and into a waiting speedboat, while the partygoers look on helplessly. Detective Steve Carella is just showing up for the graveyard shift when news of the kidnapping comes in. Working disjointedly with a Joint Task Force that calls itself "The Squad", Carella and the men and women of the Eight-Seven must find Tamar before time - or indeed her very life - runs out. In this brilliant look at the music industry, Ed McBain once again combines his mastery of form with the fast-paced dialogue and intricate plotting that have become his signature.
