Lawrence Block The Burglar on the Prowl Pbk published December 2004 by No Exit Press at £6.99 ISBN: 184243117X


Bernie Rhodenbarr is back and not before time, for his 10th and latest caper.
"Bernie Rhodenbarr doesn't have to try for hipness, because hip is in the very air he breathes. The Burglar is just adorable. He is cute without being cuddly, he is witty without looking like he's striving for it, and he is rakish without possessing a single mean streak in his lithe and sinuous body. And his language - I suppose we should say Lawrence Block's language - is dry and droll and elegant" - The Guardian

Driving full-steam-ahead with her life after the unexpected death of her husband, Annie Szabo was not planning on veering off course again. But her late husband's family, an outrageous and proud clan of Gypsies, has other plans. When Annie's oldest friend Jerry turns up dead, she is plunged back into the family she once tried to leave behind. Suspecting murder, Annie is forced to form an alliance with Madame Mina, her stubborn and powerful mother in law, the heart of the Szabo family tree. Determined to catch Jerry's killer, the two women must unlock the pattern of a tapestry wild with lawyers, criminals, magic, and even more death. One thing is certain-to catch a killer with a hidden agenda, Annie and Mina must use all of their resources: ancient curses, a talent for petty theft, bizarre love magic, a Gypsy Pl, and a strong sense of humour. Rising from the centre of this mayhem is a strange Romani man, the Hummingbird Wizard. Appearing in Annie's life, and in Annie's bed, he could prove to be the only one to help her bring the scattered pieces of her life and community together.

Paul Cain Fast One Pbk published October 2004 by No Exit Press at £6.99 ISBN: 1842431218

Fast One is possibly the toughest tough-guy and most brutal gangster story ever written. Set in Depression LA, it has a surreal quality that is positively hypnotic. It is the saga of gunman and gambler Gerry Kells and his dispo lover S. Granquist, who rearrange the LA underworld and "disappear" in an explosive climax that matches their first appearance. The pace is incredible and relentless and the complex plot with its twists and turns defies summary.

"Some kind of high point in the ultra hard-boiled manner" - Raymond Chandler
