"Treacherous characters, two-fisted action, and an inside knowledge of the mid- and late-Twentieth Century. Jack Bludis has a handle for dark fiction. These are stories not to miss. Check 'em out!" -Dave White, Two Time Shamus Nominated author of The Evil That Men. An enthralling collection of mysteries from two time Shamus Award finalist Jack Budis that celebrates the pulp private eye story in a trio of cities famed for their noir settings and mean streets. "From Baltimore to the mean streets of New York, to the smoke-and-gin-soaked Hollywood of the 1940s, Bludis presents a lineup of some of the finest hardboiled literature around. Page after page is filled with bullets, bucks, and broads. This is the good stuff!" -Richard Helms, Two-time Derringer Award winning author of Thunder Moon. This masterful volume includes the author's Anthony and Shamus Award finalist tale, "Munchies," plus "Pigtown Will Shine Tonight," "Ticket to the Top," "New Guy on the Block," "Blonds, Blonds, Blonds," and eight more enthralling short stories and novelettes. Jack Bludis is a lifetime resident of the Baltimore area who lived his early years in "Pigtown." His Shamus Award finalist novel, Shadow of the Dalhia, is also available as a paperback and ebook. "In a world of over-hyped, pre-packaged, filter-tip crime fiction, Jack Bludis rolls his own. Lots of copycats profess to write pulp, but Bludis shows how it's done. He's a true original, always his own man, a defiantly loose cannon in the neatly ordered world of genre expectations." -Kevin Burton Smith, Editor, ThrillingDetective.com

Mystery

A very polite and very incorruptible missile was aimed at the asteroid habitat Rosinante and determined to let nothing stop it on its assigned mission - the complete destruction of Rosinante and all its inhabitants! Campbell Award winner trilogy continues. A deteriorating political situation on Earth makes the asteroid habitat of Rosinante an attractive haven for an odd assortment of refugees. There is the dissident faction of the North American navy, fleeing court-martial, which becomes Rosinante's defensive force There's Skashkash, the twenty-first century AI, who designs a new religion for space, with no awareness of the probable explosive consequences. And, in the midst of it all, there's Charles Cantrell, the habitat's project manager, and his very able assistant, Marian Yashon, who find themselves forced into playing reluctant revolutionaries and declaring Rosinante's independence from Earth. Then, just when it seems the habitat has won its freedom, someone launches an unstoppable missile at it from near-Earth orbit! To save their home and people, Cantrell and Yashon will have to discover whose hit list they are on. And why! It's a long shot. But, their only choice is to succeed - or experience the destruction of everyone and everything they have fought for. "The story elements come early, fast, and furious. Gilliland's quirky mix of eccentric characters, cynical power politics, and old-style hard sf engineering-in-space works. Gilliland's novels are about people who, mostly through accident of circumstance, find themselves holding a tiger by the tail, with a choice of hanging on or being eaten. Fun to read." - Dani Sweig, Belated Reviews. Cover art: Laura Givens. Book design: Frankie Hill.
