Gloria-Ann Cooper -- blond, statuesque, raised in Greer County, Oklahoma--arrives at the Port Authority Bus Terminal to start life in the big city working as a magazine researcher and rooming with her childhood girlfriend. What Gloria expects is a world filled with glamour, the "swinging singles" scene of fascinating men, chic restaurants, discotheques and elegant dinner parties. From the moment she steps off the bus, however, the world she finds is that of the city's dark underbelly--pimps, prostitutes, married men looking for a quick score, and, suddenly, murder. A series of bizarre killings that baffle the police suddenly become part of Gloria's nightmare. As one cop says, "If we're lucky, we're looking for one guy carrying seven straight-edged razors; if we're unlucky, what we're looking for is seven guys carrying one razor each." What follows is a search unparalleled since Jack the Ripper and an ending of terrifying suspense. The Tuesday Blade is a haunting reading experience you will never forget.

The Tule Marsh Murder
by Nancy Barr MavityCrime reporter Peter Piper solves his first case in this classic mystery inspired by a real investigation. James Aloysius Piper, mostly known as Peter, is relentless when pursuing a story for his newspaper, the Herald. So when a woman’s body is found burned beyond recognition in the marsh near El Cerrito, he is even more eager than the local authorities to uncover her identity and find out what happened to her. Helping to solve the case is clinical psychologist Dr. Cavanaugh, who uses cutting-edge forensic techniques to glean crucial information from a few strands of the woman’s hair that escaped the flames. After Cavanaugh’s discoveries tie the corpse to Sheila O’Shay, the missing wife of millionaire Don Ellsworth, it’s up to Peter Piper to use all of his craft and charm as a reporter to coax out any secrets the couple may have been hiding. The Tule Marsh Murder was inspired by a real case that had captivated the San Francisco Bay Area public a few years earlier, and Dr. Cavanaugh is based on the pioneering forensic criminalist Edward Oscar Heinrich who became known as “America’s Sherlock Holmes.” Though Nancy Barr Mavity may not be remembered as vividly as her contemporaries, such as Mary Roberts Rinehart and Ellery Queen, her mystery novels were groundbreaking in their use of science in the detection of crime, with psychology and forensics frequently providing key clues to the solutions.
