Plantagenets

Fontana/ Collin

What actions must a boy take to become a man? One might use a razor to clear his first growth of beard, while another could employ it as a weapon -- both actions might be a fitting rite of passage.
In these dazzling works of fiction, seventeen masters of crime and suspense explore what it means to be a son, what it means to be a father, what it means to be a man. Spanning continents and decades, the stories are set in interconnected worlds both instantly recognizable and astonishingly believable, from long stretches on a dry Texas highway to a bleak London alley, from the claustrophobic confines of an after-hours backroom poker game to a rundown jazz joint in Manhattan.
Amid card sharks, revolvers, and shallow graves, the characters who inhabit these stories strive to discover what is right, what will give them dignity, what will earn them respect. Whether at the age of ten or thirty-five, all will come face-to-face with a situation that will brutally separate the men from the boys.

Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

Mystery

Arrow

Lonely Hearts

Shirley Peters is dead. Murdered. And her rejected boyfriend is the obvious prime suspect. But then another woman is murdered and suddenly there appears to be too many connections between these seemingly unrelated crimes. Detective Inspector Resnick is sure that the two murders are the work of one sadistic killer — two lonely hearts broken by one maniac. And it’s up to Resnick to put the record straight — and put the killer where he belongs.

ROUGH TREATMENT

Rough Treatment

Two small-time crooks break into TV director Harold Roy’s shabby mansion and stumble across a kilo of cocaine and Harold’s wife, who proceeds to fall in love with one of the crooks. Now she is going to make a deal to save both her husband and the drugs, but the precious powder belongs to someone else and he wants it back. Inspector Resnick has a hunch that there’s more to this story than meets the eye and his investigations lead him down the mean streets of the TV industry and an inner city drugs ring.

A series of brutal robberies takes Detective Inspector Resnick back ten years, to a time when a rash of similar incidents left him face to face with a frenzied sociopath and to a time when his wife ran off with her lover leaving Resnick with a psychic wound that still hasn’t healed. Now with the look-alike robberies escalating into violence and poignant memories that threaten to overwhelm him, Resnick must track down the men before they kill.

Wasted Years

A cabbie’s been beaten up, there’s a drunk and disorderly in the interview room and a possible child abuser is on his way in. Just a pretty normal Christmas Holiday for Resnick and his team. Then Dana Matheison calls to report her flat mate, Nancy, missing. Pretty soon the police have proof that Nancy was kidnapped, and then — as the New Year celebrations wind down — the first tape arrives and Resnick knows they’re dealing with a dangerous psychopath.

Cold Light

A Charlie Resnick story. A series of vicious attacks on men escalates in violence with each new incident. Enquiries in Nottingham's red-light district yield no leads and, as if this weren't enough, Charlie is simultaneously faced with the prospect of providing protection for a visiting celebrity.
