Death Row's Wildest Women (English Edition)
03/06/2016
R$14,41
Brooke Rottiers used her bras and underwear to strangle two men to death, and even shoved a pair of panties down one man’s throat. Brittany Holberg couldn’t decide on the perfect murder weapon, so she used a butcher knife, a grapefruit knife, two forks, a hammer, a skillet, a steam iron, a space heater, and a lamp pole to dispatch her victim. And Juanita Spinelli, known as “The Duchess,” never killed anyone with her own hands but still earned a trip to the gas chamber as the leader of a gang of carnival rejects and misfit criminals.
Death Row’s Wildest Women takes a wry, irreverent look at 13 of history’s most ferocious females. Meet Eva Dugan, AKA Claw-Finger Kitty, a former cabaret dancer who literally lost her head on the day of her hanging due to a faulty noose. Learn about Antoinette Frank, the crooked cop who killed two people during a restaurant robbery then showed up at the murder scene again hours later to investigate the crime. Read about a woman who had sex with a future state senator in the back seat of a car on her way to the electric chair, and another woman who experienced sexual pleasure with every swing of her pickax as she committed a gruesome double murder.
These death row inmates had one thing in common; they were all women, but their behavior was anything but ladylike.

Secret 77 (English Edition)
25/05/2013
R$16,36
"Your girlfriend is dead. You have 24 hours before your wife finds out."
Former crime beat reporter Clay Burton has no idea what the cryptic note means, or who sent it. What worries him most is the reference to his wife Lindsey, a once-vibrant artist now rendered an invalid after a tragic fall. In Lindsey’s fragile condition, even a mean-spirited practical joke like this would be too much for her to handle.
Clay dismisses the note as a prank until more envelopes arrive. Now the sender has switched to coded messages, bizarre riddles, and even gruesome “mementos” of the alleged girlfriend. Using his reporter’s skills and instincts, Clay deciphers the clues and follows their trail to an abandoned lake house where he makes a shocking discovery. The mysterious notes aren’t a practical joke after all; they’re signposts leading to a grisly crime scene.
When the stream of clues and messages continues, each more clever and devious than the last, Clay learns that his faceless tormentor is just getting started and that Lindsey might be his ultimate target. Is it all a twisted game of psychological torture, or is Clay the pawn in some dark, complex scheme whose endgame can’t even be imagined?

The Devil Did Grin (English Edition)
11/09/2011
R$6,24
Some people say "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Will Deacon says, "When life gives you lemons, throw those lemons back at life as hard as you can, and if life ends up with bumps on its head and lemon juice in its eye, it really can’t complain because it’s the one that gave you those stupid lemons in the first place."
Former private detective Will Deacon is jobless, aimless, and hasn’t traveled more than two blocks from his Atlanta condo in nearly a year--but he’s never been happier. A survivor of countless failed careers and one and a half failed marriages, Will is perfectly content to stay holed up at home with only a cat named Socrates for company. But that blissful life comes to an end when the son of an old friend commits suicide. The pampered, popular teen had no reason to kill himself, so Will is dragged out of retirement to find the answer. As he delves into the boy’s hidden lifestyle, Will finds himself up against a sleek young drug dealer, two frightening hoodlums, and the head of the Southern Mafia. When the evidence points to murder instead of suicide, Will is caught in a whirlwind of shocking discoveries and dark family secrets as he tries to solve the most important case of his career.

Take the last sharp turn on a crooked road and you might find yourself face to face with a desperate killer, or a clever con man, or a restless spirit whose face is eerily familiar. In the tradition of The Twilight Zone, the 12 stories in this collection all share one common trait; each one ends with a delicious, unexpected twist. In "The Woman Upstairs," a claustrophobic housewife uses extreme measures to escape from both a cramped apartment and a confining marriage. "The Sorrow Business" tells how a devious reporter suffers the consequences after hounding a murder victim's family for an interview. And in "Deep in the Roaring Fork," a man lost in the backwoods of Colorado stumbles across a lonely tavern whose bartender knows far too many details about his life---and about his death. Includes 7 stories previously published in mystery magazines like Over My Dead Body and Unreality, as well as 5 brand new stories from award-winning writer Ty Treadwell, co-author of Last Suppers, Famous Final Meals from Death Row.
