For those of you that have seen my Hard Case Crime collection will completely understand my absolute excitement over this package!!
A huge thanks to Titan Books for these beautiful and sexy ARCs. Who doesn’t love the old pin up covers of this collection? My debate – which cover do I like better?

QUARRY’S CLIMAX – Max Allan Collins (Releasing October 10th, 2017)
From the award-winning author of ROAD TO PERDITION, the new QUARRY novel continues the deadly story of the assassin who stars in the acclaimed Cinemax original series
Memphis, 1975. “Raunchy” doesn’t begin to describe Max Climer’s magazine, Climax, or his all-hours strip club, or his planned video empire. And evangelists, feminists, and local watchdog groups all want him out of business. But someone wants more than that, and has hired a killer to end Max’s career permanently. Only another hit man – the ruthless professional known as Quarry, star of the acclaimed series on Cinemax – can keep Climer from becoming a casualty in the Sexual Revolution.
TURN ON THE HEAT – Erle Stanley Gardner (Releasing November 14th, 2017)
From the world-famous creator of “Perry Mason,” Erle Stanley Gardner – at his death the best-selling American writer of all time – comes another baffling case for the Cool & Lam detective agency: TURN ON THE HEAT. Return to the sizzling 1940s as Bertha Cool and Donald Lam investigate a missing woman, a desperate husband, a politician with a past, and a femme fatale with a future…assuming she doesn’t go to jail for murder! Featuring brand new cover art that is a posthumous collaboration between Laurel Blechman and the legendary Robert Maguire – the first new Maguire cover in decades!
Looks like my fall will be full of Hard Case Crime and pulp fiction!
