Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Jack Pagano has always felt he is different. Smart and physically talented, the normal pursuits of youth--women and sports--have always come a little too easy to him and left him unfulfilled. At age seventeen, Jack is eager to leave high school and begin his college career. But the schooling that lies ahead of him is of a far different variety than he could have ever imagined. Albert Anastasia, the notorious leader of Murder, Inc., appears and claims Pagano as his son. But before Jack can make heads or tails of his new-found father, Anastasia is gunned down at the Park Sheraton Hotel. Under the tutelage of his late father's associates, Meyer Lansky and Frank Costello, Jack enters a world where crime and politics, money and murder, and the American way of life are all but a hand's breadth apart and inextricably linked. At the same time, another father is grooming his son to further his plans: Joseph Kennedy, the patriarch of what will become American's ruling dynasty, has set his sights on the White House--and with the help of some old friends in Chicago, his son, also Jack, will rise to power.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Jethro, the renowned Cockney cat burglar and jewel thief, has been pushed out onto the slippery rooftops of London again by Colonel Walsingham of MI5. Jethro does 'a creep' in the posh Mayfair house of a certain Baron Belfold that sets in motion a tale of dark and deadly dealings amongst England's aristocracy that mixes sex-orgies and blackmail with politics. In a tale that not only touches upon a Royal cover-up of the Duke of Windsor's alleged dealings with Adolf Hitler during the War, but also on the Government's attempts to root out Fascist sympathisers and Communist moles from the corridors of power in Whitehall.Meanwhile, Walsingham's secret string pulling has had unintended consequences in London's gangland, and has resulted in Jethro's best friend, Seth, being savagely beaten up by the Emperor of Soho's thugs. Seeking retribution, Jethro turns to Jack Spot, another of London's gang bosses, for help and then burgles Walsingham's house to show him that no deed is ever without its consequences. The burglary leads to a confrontation that results in Jethro again taking action in Defence of the Realm. This time, it's a break-in at the headquarters of the shadowy New Order of Britain Party, a powerful neo-Fascist society with serious political aims. And what Jethro uncovers confirms Walsingham's worst suspicions, that there is indeed a plot by a secret group of high-ranking aristocrats to bring down Clement Attlee's Labour Government. Fearing that even MI5 has been penetrated by spies, Walsingham again turns to Jethro for help in tracking down the sinister group's 'Keys to the Kingdom', a collection of Red Books that reveal who's secretly who and what's secretly what.The only difficulty being, Jethro has to pass for 'a gentleman' amongst the English upper classes. For help Walsingham turns to his old chums, David Niven and Ian Fleming. Then, suitably polished up, Jethro sallies forth with Walsingham's trusted assistant Simon Bosanquet to tackle the enemy within. The trouble is, there's a mysterious American OSS agent roaming around London that looks set to bugger everything up. And all of this the precursor to a very serious bit of burglary at a certain country house; the success or failure of which, could mean England saved from going to the dogs or spell curtains for Jethro. And if that wasn't enough, if Jethro manages to survive it all, Jack Spot is looking for Jethro to pay off the big favour he owes him by helping to pull off the-never-before -attempted 'Great Airport Robbery'. (And no excuses this time. Jethro's in the gang proper or he's out of the game, permanently.) As Jethro would say, It never rains, but it pours.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. On his last day in power, with a blizzard threatening eighteen inches of snow, Sheriff Bittersmith is called to the scene of a crime. A farmer has been stabbed clean through the neck with a pitchfork. Two sets of tracks lead from the barn, and the dead man's frantic wife exclaims that her daughter is missing. Convinced it was Gale G'Wain, the orphan who worked at the farm, Bittersmith follows the vanishing footprints into the storm. Miles away, holed up in an empty farmhouse, Gale is alone and close to death after falling through lake ice. Innocent but unlikely to ever stand trial in this corrupt town, he loads his gun and prepares to defend himself against the dead man's sons and the sheriff's department.Set in rural Wyoming in the 1970s and unfolding in a single day, Clayton Lindemuth's debut novel, COLD QUIET COUNTRY, explores small-town corruption and the lengths some people will go to exact revenge. With a deft hand and sinister eye, Clayton Lindemuth reminds us that the green, idyllic landscape of Middle America can suddenly become an ominous backdrop for violence and treachery. Suspenseful, intelligent, and bold, COLD QUIET COUNTRY brings a new edge to the world of modern noir and readers will no longer be able to look upon rolling hills, pastoral fields, and picturesque barns without a sense of foreboding.Lindemuth's impressive debut.is a go-for-the-jugular country noir.Lindemuth carefully weaves characters' backstories into this thrilling narrative, and his visceral prose and unsparing tone are wonderfully reminiscent of such modern rural noir masters as Tom Franklin and Donald Ray Pollock.PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Starred Review.…
