DESCRIPTION FOR 0964413892 (Dead Men): Jack Starr is of an age where most men are contemplating retirement. Jack, however, has just been released from prison for the murder of his wife. He now prepares to go into his sunset years living in a small hotel room downtown working as a security guard. That was his plan before he found a pistol that has already ended one life and threatens to end his as well. DESCRIPTION FOR 0964413833 (Solo Hand) Evan Horne, once a world class pianist, is now a man with a broken hand and a broken career. When former boss, singer Lonnie Cole, asks him to be intermediary in the payment of blackmail, Horne is unable to resist. But trading money for embarrassing photos turns out to be complicated. Pretty soon the money is gone, but the photos haven't turned up. Instead, there's a fresh body on the beach. And Horne is looking more and more like a suspect. DESCRIPTION FOR 0964413825 (Looking for Chet Baker-Audio Book): Evan Horne, recovering from both the injury to his hand and to his psyche, is on tour in England, hoping to concentrate on music and not on crime. But his old friend, Ace Buffington, who's led him into trouble before, shows up with a contract to write a biography of legendary trumpeter Chet Baker. Baker died of a fall from the window of his hotel in Amsterdam in 1988. Whether he accidentally fell, or was pushed is one of the mysteries of the jazz world. Evan resists this adventure until Ace turns up missing and leaves him no choice. To find Ace, he will have to dig into the mysterious death of Chet Baker.

Two years later he is still trying to reconstruct his life, but as he drives cab in Seattle a series of mysterious car accidents, some of them fatal, draw him into unavoidable questions of sanity and madness, as well as life and death.

Rat City

Curt Colbert

Spokane in 1907 was full of yeggs and hold-up men, prostitutes and wayward husbands. They traveled by horse and wagon, trolley car, and foot. A few moved about at breakneck speed in the newly invented automobile. Some died violent deaths in train wrecks, others at the hands of wives and lovers, or in sudden fights in local saloons. Read their stories in the newspaper articles of the time collected in Spokane Crime Stories 1907.
