A Killing in the Market (Hardy Boys Casefiles #18)
by Franklin W. DixonFrom the back of the book: A deadly romance Frank and Joe investigate the disappearance of Cyril Bayard, a shady investment counselor who's been dating the boys' aunt Gertrude and to whom she entrusted her life savings. His clerk has just been found murdered, and it looks like the bullet was meant for Bayard. The boys visit his house, but he's gone and the place is trashed. When Aunt Gertrude is fingered as the chief suspect, the Hardys have to act fast. They head for Manhattan to call on Bayard's business associates. But before they know it, they're drawn into a treacherous chase through a world they know nothing about-the dark underside of Wall Street. =============== From inside the book: STAIRWELL STANDOFF Frank and Joe took the cement stairs of the high- rise office building two at a time. The chunk-chunk- chunk of their footsteps was answered by heavier footsteps above them. "There's only one way to do this," said Joe, hiking himself up onto the banister. "Go for it!" Frank replied. "I'll hop on after you!" With a loud whoop, the Hardy brothers slid down to the first floor. When they got to the bottom, Joe hopped off and rammed his shoulder against the metal exit door. Whomp! The sound of the impact echoed through the stairwell. "Uh-oh," Frank muttered. In the dim light, they could read a large metal sign that was screwed into the door. Its red letters said No Re-entry on This Floor. Go to 2. Another sound-that of clomping feet-grew loud behind them. They were trapped.
Killing Miss Kitty and Other Sins
by Marion Dane BauerLife in Claire's typical Midwestern town is quiet; some would even say boring. But this is the 1950s, and things that seem calm on the surface are often churning underneath. When Claire takes a new black friend, dressed as "Liberty," to the Fourth of July parade in the town park, she realizes there can be no liberty for either girl in her all-white town. And as she grows older, she discovers that her world is more complicated than she ever imagined. Being the "new girl" in school isn't the fresh start she was hoping for. Getting a pet involves sacrifices. And falling in love is more confusing than fulfilling-especially when it is not a love that can be spoken of, least of all by Claire. Teenage sexuality, northern segregation, differing religious beliefs, and animal cruelty are just a few of the controversial topics explored in this collection of five interrelated stories, told in a voice that is both refreshingly naive and darkly humorous. With this book, Marion Dane Bauer lives up to her reputation as a writer who is not afraid to delve into difficult material in search of the truth.
