| Hard Case
Crime
- Coming
in November and
beyond! November 2009 QUARRY IN THE MIDDLE by Max Allan Collins, Cover art by Ron Lesser The enigmatic hitman Quarry—star of seven celebrated novels and an award-winning feature film ("The Last Lullaby")—is back in this violent, steamy tale of warring crime families. When two Godfathers set out to bump each other off, guess who winds up with both contracts... December 2009 THE CORPSE WORE PASTIES by Jonny Porkpie, Cover art by Ricky Mujica Usually, when you call a burlesque act a "show stopper," you don’t mean it quite so literally. But this time, that’s just what happened: The show stopped dead, and so did the girl. And as I looked at her nearly naked and completely lifeless body and the bottle of poison in her hand with my fingerprints all over it, I thought to myself: Porkpie, you’re in for it this time... THE VALLEY OF FEAR by A. C. Doyle, Cover art by Glen Orbik A sawed-off shotgun blast to the face leaves one man dead—and reveals a secret that has pursued another across an ocean and set the world’s most ruthless criminal on his trail. The man needs the help of a great detective...but could even Sherlock Holmes save him now? April 2010 MEMORY by Donald E. Westlake, Cover art by Glen Orbik Hospitalized after a liaison with another man’s wife ends in violence, Paul Cole has just one goal: to rebuild his shattered life. But with his memory damaged, the police hounding him, and no way even to get home, Paul’s facing steep odds—and a bleak fate if he fails... This final, never-before-published novel by three-time Edgar Award winner Donald E. Westlake is a noir masterpiece, a dark and painful portrait of a man’s struggle against merciless forces that threaten to strip him of his very identity. June 2010 NOBODY'S ANGEL by Jack Clark, Cover art by Ron Lesser Eddie Miles is one of a dying breed: a Windy City hack who knows every street and back alley of his beloved city and takes its recent descent into violence personally. But what can one driver do about a killer targeting streetwalkers or another terrorizing cabbies? Precious little—until the night he witnesses one of them in action... |

| The Lone Ranger - Now available! THE LONE RANGER (1938) Featuring Lee Powell, Herman Brix and Victor "Chief Thunder Cloud" Daniels Complete, Unsubtitled, and in English This is a restored collectors edition. The original serial is still lost and portions of it may be gone forever. What you have here may be the closest approximation possible, however, of what the complete original looked and sounded like. Republic was apparently under contract to destroy the existing prints of the serial after their license on the character lapsed, and, according to Clayton Moore and others, were burned on the Republic back lot. But some partially altered foreign-language release versions did survive. This project is an assembly of all the best-quality existing sound and picture elements from the original serial with replacement only of elements which are entirely missing today. Every shot is in the proper original sequence as far as that is possible to know and all original sound is included, with dubbing used only in spots where no original sound exists at all any more. The goal of this project was to assemble the closest thing to the original release possible from what exists, not to rework that material in any way. The image quality ranges from excellent and sharp to what might be termed decent 1980s Goodtimes Home Video quality, with virtually no scratches, very few splices, and good contrast. Chapter openings, recaps, and closings all look spectacular. The only negative here is that the transfer used for most of the chapter content is rather dated and low-resolution which makes the edition appropriate for watching on a smaller-size TV or computer and less appropriate for big-screen TV viewing.

| Robert E. Howard - Upcoming publications! Over at the Official Robert E. Howard Forum, Robert E. Howard scholar Mark Finn revealed that Robert E. Howard's boxing stories WILL be reprinted in the deluxe, annotated Hoops and Bells and Whistles treatment, by the Robert E. Howard Foundation. The current plans are for four books. No date was announced for the arrival of this collection. As announced at Howard Days this year, the Robert E. Howard Foundation's next book is entitled Sentiment: An Olio of Rarer Works. This is a collection of Howard’s humor and contemporary fiction, some non-fiction pieces, and a few other items of miscellanea. The gem of the collection is “Wild Water” which, after a conversation with Foundation members, will also appear in a future Western volume (it’s a tough story to place). Many of the other pieces are short, unfinished, and/or unpolished. Because of this, we’ll be printing a small run and would like to know just how many customers are interested in the first printing so we’ll know about how many to produce. The price will probably be the same as our other large volumes ($53 for members and $59 for non-members). Please email your interest to info@rehfoundation.org. Pre-orders are NOT being accepted at this time. The contents of Sentiment (which could still change a bit) are as follows:

| Serial Vigilantes of Paperback Fiction - Now available! An Encyclopedia from Able Team to Z-Comm By Bradley Mengel Rough justice has often been served in the pages of serial novels, notably beginning with Don Pendleton’s The Executioner in 1969. This is the first overview of the serial vigilante genre, which featured such hard-boiled protagonists as Nick Carter, Mark Stone, Jake Brand and Able Team among the 130 series that followed Pendleton’s novel. Serial vigilantes repeatedly take the law into their own hands, establishing and imposing their own moral standards, usually by force. The book examines the connections between the serial vigilante and the pulp hero that preceded him and how the serial vigilante has influenced a variety of tough guys, private eyes, spies and cops in different media. A complete bibliography for each series is featured. ISBN 978-0-7864-4165-5 appendices, bibliography, index Trade paperback, 7x10, 233 pages, $45 McFarland |
