Joe Pike pays up on an outstanding marker only to find himself protecting a girl who can t even be protected by the U.S. government and the Marshall s service.
Max Allan Collins – The First Quarry
First in the hard boiled Quarry series makes you want to read the rest.
Garry Ryan – A Hummingbird Dance
Gay mystery novels with more gay characters than there are at a gay wedding.
David Morrell – Long Lost
David Morrell’s story of Brad Denning’s family being kidnapped by someone posing as his long lost brother (or is it in fact his long lost brother?) is less than riveting.

Needs to be weeded out.
