Murder Steals the Show
Thea Cambert
All that glitters...Might lead to murder.It's spring in the cozy little town of Blue Valley, Tennessee, and that means it's time once again for the return of the Nottingham Medieval Faire. This year, the faire is under new ownership, and is better than ever, with a fantasy vibe that features fairies and trolls, dragons and wizards, goblins and imps galore.The Faire isn't the only exciting thing happening in town this spring. A famous jeweled necklace, known as the Scarlet Lady, is making a stop at the Blue Valley Heritage Museum. The necklace--steeped in local history and lore--boasts a huge white diamond set in rubies. The whole town is abuzz and is waiting breathlessly to view the necklace, but the same day it arrives, it disappears.A body is found near the museum, and Alice and her friends find themselves wondering if the murder and the robbery are connected. When Little John confesses that he's been noticing a string of thefts in other towns the faire has visited--and with Luke and Ben out of town on business--it'll be up to Alice, Owen, and Franny to find out if someone connected with the faire is a thief...and a murderer.

Each mystery movie series is placed within its historical context, with emphasis on its source material and the changes or developments within the series over time. Also included are reviews of all the series' films, analyzing the quality and cohesiveness of the mystery plotlines.

Mickey Spillane on Screen
A Complete Study of the Television and Film Adaptations
Max Allan Collins, James L. Traylor
In the mid-20th century, Mickey Spillane was the sensation of not just mystery fiction but publishing itself. The level of sex and violence in his Mike Hammer thrillers (starting with I, the Jury in 1947) broke down long-held taboos and engendered a near hysterical critical backlash. Nonetheless, Spillane's influence has been felt--reflections of Hammer are visible in nearly every subsequent tough guy of fiction and film, including James Bond, Dirty Harry, Shaft, Billy Jack, and Jack Bauer. Spillane's fiction came to the screen in a series of films that include Kiss Me Deadly (1955) and The Girl Hunters (1963) with the author himself playing his private eye. These films, and television series starring Darren McGavin and Stacy Keach respectively, are examined in a lively, knowledgeable fashion by Spillane experts. Included are cast and crew listings, brief biographical entries on key persons, and a lengthy interview with Spillane.

Television Detective Shows of the 1970s
Credits, Storylines, and Episode Guides for 109 Series
David Martindale
"One more thing..., " Columbo would say to the murderer during the course of his rumpled investigation, and the killer would perhaps feel the noose tightening. The show of the same name was one of the most popular detective series appearing on television in the 1970s, a decade that offered a wider variety of such shows than any other time. (Series beginning in the 1960s or ending in the 1980s that had episodes broadcast in the 1970s are also included in full.) Four subgenres are studied: cops, private detectives, lawyers, and sleuths. Each entry is arranged alphabetically and follows the same format: cast and credits, brief remarks about the style, and an episode guide (episode titles, original telecast dates, guest casts and brief plot synopses). Comprehensive index.
