Inquest
Author’s Note -- Some may think this is a cruel and shocking story. It is cruel, though, only in the sense that men are cruel, for men motivated the events which I have described here. And it is shocking only because few citizens ever stop to give thought to the little drama known as The Inquest - or to the old-fashioned and inept coroner system which still manages to bumble along in parts of our country. Many attorneys, physicians, reporters and politicians have been good enough to clarify the procedures for me, and I am indebted to them. In the sense that these events could happen, this is a true story, and I have attempted to make it as graphic and as accurate as possible. Editor’s Note -- In this new book, the author of Wake Up and Scream takes us behind the scenes for an electrifying glimpse into some of the most insidious double-dealings and gutter morals of our day.
Case of the Deadly Kiss
He followed her for a block . . . swiftly and silently. As she neared the park, he smiled tightly and began to close in. When she reached the park, she began to run across the frozen ground. Her head was down and her arms were hugging the coat around her. She must be cold. Well, she’d warm up when hell opened its doors for her! He ran after her. Then he was upon her. Before a cry could reach her lips, he had grasped her throat and kicked her off balance. She fell, stunned with fright. Without releasing his grasp on her throat, he straddled her body and peered into her eyes. Bending forward suddenly, he forced his mouth onto hers and deliberately smeared his lips slowly over hers. Then he lifted his head. “This is how they do it!” he whispered. “You cop lover! This is how they do it!”
Wake Up and Scream
Something was wrong, terribly wrong. Terror froze her for a moment, and in that moment of horror a fist smashed into her face. There was nothing in that dark room but her trembling body and the nightmare. She lay there rigid, trying to understand what was happening. It was no nightmare; the pains she felt told her that. Why was he doing this to her? Why? Without knowing it she began to scream.
Case of the Cop's Wife
The Operation was planned carefully because these men were professionals in the sciences of death, terror and violence. More than a hundred thousand dollars was at stake, and they had to be sure nothing would go wrong. Perhaps some innocent people would die, that didn’t matter. Only the money mattered. Then how did it go wrong? When Mary Ellen Fury, wife of police Lieutenant Robert Fury, parked her green sedan in the exact spot where the getaway car was supposed to be. Parked it at 9:30 a.m. just as Wally Hirsh and his gang ran from the scene of the murdered and robbery.
The Chicago of Fiction
The importance of Chicago in American culture has made the city's place in the American imagination a crucial topic for literary scholars and cultural historians. While databases of bibliographical information on Chicago-centered fiction are available, they are of little use to scholars researching works written before the 1980s. In The Chicago of Fiction: A Resource Guide, James A. Kaser provides detailed synopses for more than 1,200 works of fiction significantly set in Chicago and published between 1852 and 1980. The synopses include plot summaries, names of major characters, and an indication of physical settings. An appendix provides bibliographical information for works dating from 198...
...A Dangerous Thing
Professor Carl Burns knew the new dean wasn't going to work out when she bought the two goats. And that was the least of the problems. Hartley Gorman College was being attacked - with a vengeance - by the forces of political correctness, and the new dean was an unreconstructed hippie. Courses would have to be rewritten, manners watched... and everyone knew Burns should have been the new dean, anyway. As if this weren't enough to contend with, Tom Henderson's fatal fall through a window definitely wasn't part of the planned curriculum. But figuring out whodunit is going to be a lot more interesting for Burns than grading papers for his developmental English class.
Son of Gun in Cheek
Follow-up to the Edgar Award-nominated Gun in Cheek further celebrates neglected classics of substandard mystery writing, uncovering even more twisted treasures for connoisseurs of hideous prose.
