No Game for a Dame
A .38, a nip of gin and sensational legs get Depression-era private eye Maggie Sullivan out of any scrape - until a stranger threatens to bust her nose and a client lands her in the cross-hairs of a sadistic crime boss. Matching wits against dangerous men, with bits of information from a dimestore waitress, a ragged newsboy and the girls from her rooming house, Maggie follows a path that leaves her drugged, in her car in a ditch. A gunman puts a bullet through Maggie's hat. Her shutterbug pal on the evening paper warns her off. A new cop with an unsettling presence suspects her. Finally she faces a half-crazed man with a gun, and an equally lethal point-blank killer who tells her snooping is no game for a dame.
Dames Fight Harder
Murder at a construction site draws private investigator, Maggie Sullivan, into a case that makes cops mistrust her and friends doubt her. The suspect, Rachel Minsky, is Maggie's closest friend and all signs point to her guilt. Rachel's independent streak and success in business have made her enemies. Yet the dead man also had an unsavory secret or two, starting with his missing mistress. The city Maggie scours for clues to the real killer has been altered by America's recent entry into World War II. Shortages of men and material have created new motives for murder. Unsupervised children roam the streets at night while their mothers work in defense plants. Strangers outnumber familiar faces at Maggie's favorite pub. As the case and Maggie's relationship with policeman Mick Connelly heat up, Maggie finds herself caught in currents that threaten to drown her.
Tough Cookie
When Depression-era private eye Maggie Sullivan is invited to dine with a millionaire, she doesn't expect the first course to be a gun in her face. It draws her into a gold-plated web of theft, revenge, double crosses and murder. A big-time swindle has made fools of some of the city's wealthiest businessmen. The man behind it has vanished. When Maggie begins asking questions, he reappears - dead in the river. But she's already learned too much. Someone's out to silence her too. Armed with her .38 and a nip of gin, Maggie closes in on a killer as a mobster offers a hint, a cop unsettles her with his chemistry, and a woman with deadly potential plays a game by her own rules.
Maximum Moxie
Days before the Pearl Harbor attack plunges the U.S. into World War II, private eye Maggie Sullivan is hired to find a missing engineer in Dayton, Ohio. Has Gil Tremain been kidnaped, or has he turned traitor - to his employer and maybe his country? As Maggie pieces together his last movements, she finds there are secrets the man's ex-wife and his employers don't want uncovered. Maggie herself is attacked and an innocent witness is murdered. The ruthlessness of her opponent - or opponents - becomes even clearer when there's an attempt to abduct Tremain's young daughter. Still more chilling, Maggie's investigation suddenly attracts the attention of a local crime kingpin. The attack on Pearl H...
Ration of Lies
"As WWII rages in the Pacific, relatives of a Japanese-American suspected of starting a fatal fire hire Ohio private investigator Maggie Sullivan to uncover the truth. Did he do it? Is he alive or dead? The police claim not to know what became of him, and there are hints of War Department involvement. Tosh Hashimoto and his family are among some 150 Japanese-Americans brought to Dayton by a church coalition that found jobs and housing for them throughout the community. The more Maggie learns about the night of the fire, the more she believes Tosh is being framed. Grieving the recent loss of a close childhood friend killed in battle, Maggie wrestles inner conflict over taking the case. A harrowing attack in an alley, the murder of a witness, and a racist warning gouged into her office filing cabinet fuel her resolve to push ahead. Amid rationing, shortages, extra beds for noisy newcomers wedged into corners of her once-quiet rooming house, and an unexpected change in her personal life, Maggie scrambles to determine the identity of a killer who is more than willing to kill again."--

Don't Dare a Dame
"Depression-era private investigator Maggie Sullivan risks losing her license - and her life - when two spinsters hire her to learn what befell a relative missing for twenty-six years. Before she can start, a man she needs to question dies suspiciously and Maggie receives a warning: Someone at City Hall wants her to stop. Aided by her .38 and a splash of gin, Maggie follows a trail faded by time and the catastrophic 1913 Dayton flood. It leads to a local politician with bigger ambitions - and secrets. It takes her into dime stores, cheap hotels, and a violent ambush by men waring brass knuckles. A cop tries doggedly to win her. A rag-tag newsboy presses to become her assistant. Crimes of the past explode in the present as Maggie faces foes who must destroy her to destroy each other"--Page [4] of cover.
Shamus in a Skirt
When a man offers 1940s private investigator Maggie Sullivan twice her usual fee to look into a "possible" jewelry theft from his hotel safe, she's skeptical - until a maid's body tumbles out of a trash can and a jeweler known for high quality fakes is murdered. Does a hotel guest who vanished without a trace hold a piece of the puzzle? Or does it have to do with the Polish count and his family fleeing the start of WW2 in Europe? Could the cops be right that it's all a trick devised by her client? More at ease in Dayton, Ohio's, streets and alleyways than in the posh Hotel Canterbury, and chafing under the need to hide her true occupation, Maggie threads her way through an unfamiliar array o...
Pray!
In this book, Warren and Ruth Myers will teach you how to pray, outlining the biblical principles, patterns, and practices of prayer. The Myers offer a rich theology of prayer, but also provide practical ways to enrich your prayer life. Whether shaping habits for your own Quiet Time (the devotional time Christians spend to study the Bible and connect with God) or explaining the Lord's Prayer, the Myers use Scripture as the foundation for their teaching. They exhort all Christians to practice prayer, dependent on the help of the Holy Spirit, to intercede for the lost and support God's global mission. Learn how to pray, whom to pray for, and why prayer matters.
