BEHIND THE SCENES DURING THE BUILDING OF THE PANAMA CANAL

Undaunted by a mysterious disease killing workers, Teddy Roosevelt stakes his presidency on building the Panama Canal.

The day Teddy Roosevelt learned McKinley had died and he was now president of the United States, he made up his mind he would cut a canal through the Isthmus of Panama. No small task. The French had tried and failed with more than twenty thousand dead. Roosevelt wasn’t alone in wanting to see a canal. The Wall Street financier, J. P. Morgan, wanted it too, and so did revolutionaries in Panama. Morgan wanted a shorter route for his ships and was willing to secretly finance the insurrection against Colombia, who owned the territory of Panama. Not everyone was wild about America in Panama. A radical young patriot with ancestral roots going back 400 years would do anything to stop the Yankees, including murder. There was another more insidious obstacle, a mysterious disease killing workers.

The president sends Colonel Goethals to Panama to direct construction. Goethals thinks he knows how to avoid the terrible landslides that ruined the French. He also sends Major William Gorgas, the epidemiologist that rid Cuba of yellow fever during the Spanish American war. Gorgas requests the support of Captain Garrett Hay, the Secretary of State’s nephew, who served in Cuba as a doctor. Gorgas also wants to send a civilian scientist, Hiram Walker, who is married to Emma, Garrett’s former much younger lover, who deserted him years earlier without a word. They meet again aboard the Athena on their way to Panama. Neither is quite sure whether their love affair is over.

HANGING FEVER WITH SMOKE WADE’S NECK SLATED FOR THE NOOSE

Dakota Territory: 1885. A violent band of Civil War veterans who roamed the Badlands were roused from their restless inertia by the murder of the Colonel they idolized. The towns simmered and hatreds flared up anew and every stranger became suspect.

Since Smoke Wade was a stranger, when he stepped out of the hotel a dozen tough and sullen men were waiting for him. They followed him down the dusty street like a pack of hungry dogs stalking a young deer. Someone in their midst spoke the word. "Murderer." The word became a chant, a chant that seemed to sweep through the town. Hanging fever had come to the Dakota Territory!

Before long Smoke Wade paced a jail cell . . . listening to the angry rumbling of the mob outside. He had suspected it before, but now he was sure—someone was heating up that mob, trying to make sure he didn't leave his cell alive.

He remembered how he had ridden into this boomtown, a stranger with an itch to follow the wild wind, a simple cowboy with too much nerve and a ready gun. He had tried to help a man in a fight, and the next thing he knew he was in a cell, with a hangman's noose awaiting him.

Why? For the murder of a man he had never even heard of, a murder that had occurred two days before Smoke Wade had come to town!

As he listened to the bloodthirsty cries outside, his anger grew, He vowed to get out of there, clear his name and pin the guilt where it belonged.

Up to then, there had never been a horse Smoke Wade couldn't ride or a man he couldn't lick — but this time he’d have to fight a whole damn town!

He was a rough and tumble cowpoke who never came across a fight or a bet he was afraid to take on, and was thought by most to be just another pistolero for hire. But he always seemed to be on

the side of justice when the powdersmoke settled.

The Sword of Fire: A Novel of an Enslaved World by Emmett McDowell. He was a plain, ordinary Jones, so his spaceman father named him Jupiter, hoping it would help him stand out.

Then Jupiter Jones cursed the fate that had marooned him among the planet's groveling mutants. He only wanted to escape. But the mutant's rising excited whispers proclaimed him a knight in shining armor who alone could save them. And the strange sword he'd found was, they said, the one weapon that could prevail against the vicious octopoids who enslaved them.

The Rocketeers Have Shaggy Ears: A Novel of Peril on Alien Worlds by Keith Bennett. Their fighting song was known from Terra's hinterlands to Ganymede's glittering domes. "Oh, the Rocketeers have shaggy ears. They're dirty sons of space!" Someday there will be a legend like this. Someday, from Steamy Venus or Arid Mars, the shaking, awe-struck words will come whispering back to us, building the picture of a glory so great that our throats will choke with pride. Pride in the Rocketeers of Terra.

GRIPPING TALES OF CRIME AND HORROR ON THE HOMEFRONT

Blood ties. The family we’ve been given, the friends we make, the loves we keep, and those we lost. The 26 stories in Family and Other Ailments teeter on the brink, hover at the periphery, or even the possibility, of crime. Under a soft light and at an angle, they're all love stories.

The collection opens with “Spy Head,” a tale of friendship after a crushing trauma. In “Texas Two-Step,” brotherhood leads to a wicked double-cross. “Razorbills” shows a young woman seeking freedom from the prison-like caring of her sibling. “Black and Tan” slips into domestic horror, as does “Mutti,” with a hint of the fantastic. “Hour of the Bat” and “Bag Limit” are deep-woods Texas noir, while “A Head for Numbers” and “No Recoil” go west, to the stark unforgiving beauty of the desert.

M. E. Proctor draws characters with a tender touch. She catches them at an inflection point in their lives, a moment of choice. We feel what they feel, see what they see, and their voices linger for a long time in our memory.

A geek, a nerd and two tough-as-nails ranch women fight rubber rustlers during WWII – when rubber was worth big money!

A masterpiece of screwball romcom from Clarence Budington Kelland, the man who invented the genre, set against the background of the Homefront during the Second World War. The Puzzle of Archibald the Great is filled with his trademark delirious, pixilated battle-of-the-sexes dialogue. Archibald Cloyd was an ubergeek and as pedantic as it is possible to be. He looked like Napoleon, he strutted like Napoleon, so naturally, he made himself the world's greatest expert on the Little Corsican. Naturally, Hollywood hired him at thousands of dollars a week as the technical director on a movie about Napoleon.

Wilson Page, Cloyd's secretary, was a nerd. He didn’t fit in anywhere, and when the Air Force turned him down due to a childhood heart problem, Wilson gave up on life. He figured he didn't deserve anything better than being nursemaid to a strutting egomaniac like Archibald Cloyd. He looked down on himself and Cloyd in equal measure.

But when Archibald fell for a gangster’s moll, the gangster took exception to the relationship, and the pompous little geek proved too stuck-up to back down even when faced with torture. Wilson Page discovered he had developed affection for the pigmy popinjay and swore to extract Cloyd from the situation.

Then the movie company moved to Arizona to shoot desert scenes about Napoleon's Egyptian venture, and with Archibald now thousands of miles away from the hot-tempered gangster, Wilson Page breathed a sigh of relief.

But his relief didn't last long. In the desert, Page discovered a complication he had never dreamed of, when they encountered the Widow Hammer, an outsized woman with an outsized voice that could call the cattle home from a range beyond the mountains in a different state, who took a shine to Archibald because, as she said, "He talks beautiful. He don't always make sense a body can understand, but the sound of it is lovely."

And matters became even more complicated for Wilson Page when he fell for the irritating Miss Jemima Ward, a young woman who was used to running her own ranch, which she had inherited from her father, and looked down on soft men who earned their keep at soft jobs sitting in chairs, like secretaries to academic pedants, and looked down even further on young men who were not enlisted and off fighting in defense of their country against the fascist regimes of Italy and Germany.

Just when it looked like things couldn't get more complicated, Page and Jemma discovered an old abandoned mine filled with a fortune in stolen rubber tires, one of the homefront's least obtainable and most valuable commodities. And who did it belong to? The same hot-tempered gangster who had sworn to do the dirty to Archibald the first chance he got.

Smoke Wade was riding to save a friend from hanging ... and he was riding straight into a pack of blood-hungry outlaws!

Stampede Canyon held all the natural beauty of the West ... and all of its dangers. Sheer cliffs studded with silver rose straight to the sky on three sides, and the fourth was pitted with traps.

Smoke Wade rode into the town at its heart to attend the wedding of his friend, Chaz Borman. But he stayed to save Borman's neck from a noose.

Borman had been accused of helping outlaws raid silver from the canyon, and the riled miners were dead-set for a necktie party.

Wade's only hope was to track the real outlaws to their den and fight it out with lead. But Wade was riding alone, and he was facing some of the deadliest killers the West had ever known. Smoke Wade was a rough-and-tumble cowpoke who never came across a fight or a bet he was afraid to take on. He was thought by most to be just another pistolero for hire, but he always seemed to be on the side of justice when the powdersmoke settled.

⁠Buried Pirate Treasure and a Wisecracking Heroine Lead to Romance, Adventure and Murder in Prohibition-Era Long Island!⁠

 

Wisecracking Jane Teach had pirate blood, a take-charge attitude, and a penchant for sticking her nose in the wrong places. Sober-minded Bill Popple was from one of Long Island's first families, a conservative-minded young man who walked the straight and narrow. When they met it was loathing at first sight, definitely not a match made in heaven. But with six people trying to kill them over a dead bootlegger's lost fortune and a pirate's treasure secretly buried three hundred years ago, they both needed each other.

 

First Bill Popple, the muscular serious-minded research student, unearths information which makes the odds high in favor of pirate gold being hidden long ago on what is now Hartman's property. Then Jane Teach, the streamlined girl of ready wit, who seems to know more than Bill does about almost everything, suggests that there may be not one treasure but two, the first one part of her ancestor's lost loot, the second a bootlegger's ill-gotten gains. Next, Jane and Bill discover a corpse lying on a beach near Oxbow Bay with gold pieces sunk into its eye sockets.

 

Soon the pair find themselves up to their necks in mystery and dark doings involving the heterogeneous group of strangers who have appeared suddenly in town to wait and watch for ... what? From then on, Jane and Bill never experience a dull moment.

 

How they extricate themselves, and at the same time solve two deep mysteries, adds up to an absorbing novel of skullduggery and sudden death in which excitement and romance mount to an increasingly high pitch and culminate in a wholly satisfying climax.

A SIMPLE HOLLYWOOD BLACKMAIL SCHEME TURNS DEADLY

 

Morocco Jones figured this assignment would be a breeze. After all, sending a guy who specialized in busting up crime syndicates and international spy rings to Los Angeles to track down some two-bit blackmailer seemed like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. To Morocco, it seemed like a good excuse for a nice little Hollywood vacation ... catch a bit of sun, bed a few starlets, and relax poolside with a large snifter of brandy.

 

But Morocco couldn't have been more wrong! Because this was no two-bit blackmail scheme. The half-a-billion-dollar payoff ... for whoever was behind the plot ... was money worth killing for. From the moment Morocco Jones hit fabulous movieland, things began to explode in some very strange and terrifying directions.

 

First, there was the reception committee of musclemen who waylaid Morocco in the dark right outside his client's fancy Spanish villa. Next was the ex-hood who had become high priest of a powerful and sinister religious cult that didn't draw the line even at murder when it came to keeping its secrets secret. Then, there was the scandal sheet that raked in the do-re-mi from the studios ... for the truly scandalous stories it didn't print about Screenland's kings and queens. Add in a crooked cop named Doheny who didn't like Morocco's lip, and the unsolved double murder of a famous screen beauty and her husband that tied into it all somehow. Nor could Morocco overlook the incendiary blonde starlet in the oh-so revealing dress who seemed to have slept with half his suspects and was always one step ahead of him, wherever he went.

 

There were a lot of angles to figure, even for an operative like Morocco Jones. His only hope of solving it was a lush out cold from a 10-day bender and a raw cub reporter who looked more destined to end up being written about in the obits than getting his by-line on the story of the year ... when and if it broke. This was a case with the distinct odor of an organized blackmail ring with syndicate tie-ups.

MURDER AND SKULLDUGGERY ABOUND BEHIND THE SCENES IN EARLY TV

In one of the first crime novels ever set behind the scenes of big-time television, Clarence Budington Kelland has plotted a thrilling adventure of danger and death which climaxes in a series of fast-moving surprises. Peter Mortain, one of the youngest directors in this very young medium, was beleaguered enough, directing the first episode of the most expensive variety show ever produced. He had a cast whose first appearance on television made them skittish, a thousand technical details to handle, and a star who was also his boss!

The blonde soprano was smooth, sultry. She was also mysteriously hired at the last minute and was taking the best songs and skits away from the other cast members and claiming them as her own ... and the producer refused to stop her. From the first moment she joined the Tod Arundel Show, at least one member of the cast suspected her presence meant big-time trouble. That suspicion became a certainty when a corpse called on the young director.

Peter directed the next rehearsal of his coast-to-coast television revue, knowing that somehow the glamorous soprano had picked up some nasty acquaintances. He worried that his back was the target for the next knife. Peter found out too fast why the sensational blonde was hired, and why their boss was paying her particular attention ... and why she took a certain non-professional interest in Peter ... for a price that added up to his own life. Unwittingly, he had become the key man in a nightmare intrigue.

Murder and the Key Man shows one of the master storytellers of all time at his exciting best, populated with Kelland’s vivid, memorable characters, with the signature brilliant, strong-minded heroine, eccentric romance, and showstopper of a grandmother, who solves most of the case herself.

‎A CLASSIC ROMANTIC MYSTERY BY CLARENCE BUDINGTON KELLAND

What happens when a Korean War vet recovering from serious injuries wins a ghost town in a contest, meets a hard-riding, gun-toting cowgirl, and is threatened by three dangerous people all within a few days? Answer: Cock-eyed characters, pixilated dialogue, zany romance and heart-stopping suspense. In short, everything Kelland fans love about his novels. Based in part on real events – and set in a real ghost town that was actually given away (by The Saturday Evening Post) in a real contest, a place you can still visit today.
Waldo Emerson Whitelaw was pleasantly surprised when he won a supposedly worthless Arizona ghost town named Sidewinder Gulch in a "write a jingle" contest. He was less pleasantly surprised when the glowering Hugo Pung offered him six thousand dollars for the deed – and threatened his life if he refused. Was Sidewinder Gulch somehow more valuable than Whitelaw believed? So, he took laconic, plain-spoken New Englanders Habakkuk Ware and his wife Melinna, who had raised him after his parent's death, and set off for Arizona. When they arrived, he met the rear end of a cow backing toward him in a clear state of hysteria, with ranch woman Gwendolin Carver attached to a rope at its head. "You underfed, skinny-legged dude," she said to Whitelaw, "Grab hold of this rope and help!" Everything he said and did after that only seemed to irritate her more. That night, self-styled land-speculator Miles Winter, and his seductive gal-friend, Mona Avery, showed up and made him an even bigger offer for the deed to Sidewinder Gulch. A few hours later a shot rang out.
Thus begins one of Clarence Budington Kelland's finest, and rarest novels, previously only published as a seven-part serial in the legendary and bestselling magazine of its era, The Saturday Evening Post.
