How’s Business?
By Don Blyly
As many of our older customers retire, they
often move from a large old house with lots of

space to store books to a smaller place with a
lot less room for books, resulting in many bags
or boxes of books being brought to the Uncles.
This has been going on for many years, but we
recently had the largest batch we’ve ever seen
at Uncle Hugo’s. A customer who was a regular
for decades decided, back when cover prices were
going from $.75 up to $.95, that he wanted to
collect all the science fiction and fantasy
paperbacks every published. He picked up every
new paperback from our new release shelf for a
couple of decades, plus looking for used copies
of older books. About the time the cover prices
started hitting $3.95, he started being more
selective in his buying. After Scott Imes died
in 2001, the customer stopped coming in and
stopped collecting. Around the middle of July he
stopped in, told me that he was 72 and had
decided it was time to get rid of his
collection. Over the next few weeks I bought
almost 6000 used science fiction, fantasy, and
horror paperbacks from him, along with a few
hardcovers and trade paperbacks. There were a
lot of rare books in there that I remember
selling to him back in the 1970s, but there were
a few that I don’t remember ever having seen
before. Several hundred of the books have
already been snatched up by other customers, but
we still have huge amounts of hard-to-find
paperbacks clogging our aisles. Please stop by
and buy some.
Over a year ago the KFC franchisee for the Twin
Cities went bankrupt, and almost a year ago
Popeye’s bought 14 former KFC locations to turn

into Popeye’s Fried Chicken outlets. We’ve been
hearing for many months that all of the former
KFC locations would be remodeled and reopened by
the end of July, but there’s been little
activity around the KFC location near Uncle
Hugo’s. Finally, around the middle of July a
locked storage container about the size of a
semi trailer was dropped in the parking lot near
the back door of the building. The dentist
located between the Uncles and the former KFC
has been watching the site very carefully. He
said that the only action he’s seen on the site
in the last couple of months was somebody with a
weed whip. He asked the guy when the Popeye’s
would be open, and the guy claimed it would be
open with 5 weeks. That was 4 weeks ago, and
still nothing is happening on the site. Our long
fried chicken famine continues.
Short Recommendations
By Don Blyly
Kate Elliott’s excellent Spiritwalker Trilogy is
an alternate history fantasy that throws in
almost everything but the kitchen sink, but
still manages to work very well. The Romans
failed to defeat Carthage, leaving the
Phoenicians in control of the seas and a weaker
Roman Empire on land. About 1000 years before
the story begins (in the 1800s, dated from
Augustus coming to power in Rome), the Roman
Empire pretty much collapsed, but not before
having a heavy impact on the cultures of western
Europe. About 400 years before the story begins,
the Persians conquered Northern Africa, causing

many of the Phoenicians to flee to Europe and
form alliances with the Celtic princes. About
100 years later, an outbreak of ghouls south of
the Sahara destroyed the west African empire of
Mali, with many of the Mali elite hiring
Phoenician ships to take them, their gold, and
their magic to Europe, where they married into
the families of the Celtic princes. Some of the
Mali hired Phoenicians to take them to South
America and eventually to North America, where
they met the “trolls”, intelligent descendants
of the dinosaurs who are slightly more
technologically advanced than the humans and
very interested in trade with the humans (or
“rats”, as they like to call the humans). And
then there is the new Ice Age, which has lowered
the sea level enough to connect England to
France. And the cold mages are the most powerful
of several different kinds of magic users. Throw
in people (and others) passing back and forth
between our world and the spirit world, plus the
Wild Hunt, plus too many other things to
mention, and you have a very interesting
background for the story.
Cold Magic (#1, $7.99) features Catherine
(“Cat”), an orphan approaching her 20th
birthday, living with a Phoenician family of
modest means that she believes to be her aunt
and uncle and various cousins, including
Beatrice (“Bee”), who is a couple of months
younger and her best friend. When Cat is
suddenly forced against her will to marry a cold
mage, she starts to learn that much of what she
thought she knew is wrong. Cat and Bee start out

with a rather romantic view of life, which they
are forced to alter by what they learn of cold
mages, politics in Europa, and happenings in the
spirit world.
Cold Fire (#2, $7.99) primarily takes place in
the Antilles Islands, where Cat and Bee and
other characters have fled, and allows them and
the reader to experience the society set up with
the Mali refugees, the native population (with
even stronger magic than either the Mali
refugees or the Europeans), and the “trolls”
from North America.
Cold Steel (#3, $18.00) primarily takes place in
the spirit world and back in Europa, and does a
wonderful job of tying up almost all of the
loose ends. General Camjiata, who we met in the
first book after he had failed in his first
attempt to conquer Europa, has secured military
backing (magical and mundane) in the Antilles,
and has returned to Europa to try again. Cat and
Bee are much more knowledgeable and formidable
women in the third book than they were at the
beginning of the series, and neither of them
trust the General, but they are willing to help
him to the extent that it will advance their own
goals.
Back in 2006 a wonderful debut fantasy novel
came out, The Lies of Locke Lamora ($7.99) by
Scott Lynch, and it’s been on our recommended
fantasy shelf for many years. Set on a world
that is clearly not Earth, in the city of Camorr
(built by the alien Eldren and then abandoned

perhaps 30,000 years ago and now filled with
humans), this is the story of Locke Lamora. An
orphan who began his life of crime at the age of
six, he eventually comes to lead the best team
of con men in the city, the Gentlemen Bastards.
Part of the fun consists of the clever plots to
remove wealth from the decadent nobles, but a
large part of the fun are the clever lines that
the Gentlemen Bastards fling at each other.
A year later, Red Seas Under Red Skies ($7.99)
came out. To avoid revealing too much about the
ending of Lies, let me just say that two of the
Gentlemen Bastards, Locke and Jean, move on to
another city to practice their cons on a fresh
set of victims. While Red Seas was fun, it was
not as outstanding as Lies, largely because
Locke and Jean could not fling as many clever
lines at each other as the whole team had been
able to fling in the first book.
The next year (2008), the third book was
supposed to come out, but was postponed. And
postponed again. And postponed again. Finally,
The Republic of Thieves ($28.00) will be
released in October, and it is very good. Since
they were about six years old, Locke had a crush
on Sabetha, the red-haired little girl who grew
up to be the only Gentle(Lady) Bastard. At the
beginning of the book, it’s been over 5 years
since he last saw her, but he’s still obsessed
with her. Much of The Republic of Thieves
consists of scenes that happened in the past,
showing earlier cons run by the Gentlemen
Bastards that the reader has not previously

seen. This allows the reader to learn that the
relationship between Locke and Sabetha is more
complicated than Locke would like to admit, but
it also lets the reader watch the full team of
Bastards flinging clever lines at each other.
But, the plot also moves forward. The bondsmagi
rule the city of Karthian, but to keep the
factions of magi from using their magic to kill
members of other factions, they hold elections
every five years under strict rules. One faction
make Locke and Jean an offer they can’t refuse
to help rig the election in their favor, while
another faction makes Sabetha an offer she can’t
refuse to rig the election in their favor, with
warnings from both factions that any cooperation
between these outside consultants will be dealt
with lethally. Since Locke and Sabetha have
always been fiercely competitive, this makes
their complicated relationship even more
complicated. But watching them each try to be
more crooked than the other at rigging the
election is a lot of fun. Near the end of the
book, one of the magi reveals some startling
things about Locke’s background (which may or
may not be true) and gives him a prophecy about
his future (which may or may not be true). Hints
are dropped about why the Eldren fled the world.
And other interesting developments at the end of
the book make me look forward to the next
installment –hopefully soon.
Robert J. Sawyer’s Triggers ($7.99) is more a
near future thriller than traditional science
fiction. An experimental electronic device for
dealing with post traumatic stress disorder is

eing used in a DC hospital when an electromagnetic
pulse from a terrorist device at the
nearby White House causes the experimental
device to do strange things to 20 people in the
hospital, one of whom is the President, being
operated on following an assassination attempt.
Each of the 20 people can read the memories of
another of the 20 people, which means one of
them can read the memories of the President, and
that person is concealing that he’s reading the
President. And each of the other people is
having to cope with the fact that they are now
reading the thoughts of a stranger, and some
other stranger is reading them. A well-told,
entertaining story results, as assorted
possibilities of the concept are explored.
The Hammer and the Blade by Paul S. Kemp ($7.99)
is a fun, fast-paced fantasy. Nix and Egil are a
pair of tomb raiders who are very skilled and
lucky at escaping ancient dangers, but not so
good with current dangers. Nix is a sneak thief
with a smart mouth, which keeps getting him into
trouble. Egil is the only priest of a god that
even he doesn’t believe is around any more.
After a particularly dangerous but lucrative
tomb robbing adventure, they want to take it
easy for a while, but are forced by an angry
wizard to join an even more dangerous tomb
robbing expedition. Lots of rollicking fun.
Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey ($7.99, signed
copies available) came out in 2009, and is
constantly on our recommended fantasy shelf.
James Stark was a troubled teen growing up in

L.A., who fell in with a bad group of teens, all
of whom could work magic. James was the
strongest magic user, so the others ganged up on
him and sent him to hell. After eleven years as
a gladiator in hell, he escapes back to L.A.,
and he’s looking for payback against the others.
What follows is fast paced, profanity-laden
violence, with lots of humor. Next came Kill the
Dead ($22.95 signed hc still available, or
$12.99 trade pb), then Aloha From Hell ($12.99),
and Devil Said Bang ($12.99). Each was fun, but
each was a little less fun than the one before
it. Kill City Blues ($24.99) just came out, and
it’s the best since the first. Stark (aka
Sandman Slim) has misplaced the Qomrama Om Ya, a
weapon from the banished older gods, who are
trying to come back into our universe (which
would be a Very Bad Thing). Supposedly, a dead
man in Kill City (an abandoned multi-story
shopping mall in L.A. that’s been taken over by
all kinds supernatural forces that you wouldn’t
want to encounter) has information that Stark
needs, so he leads a team into the Kill City
maze.
Abaddon’s Gate ($17.00) by James S. A. Corey is
the third in the excellent space opera series
that began with Leviathan Wakes ($15.99) and
continued with Caliban's War ($15.99), and
should only be read after reading the first two
volumes. The alien artifact that orbited Saturn
for two billion years has now eaten much of
Venus and then set up a gate on the edge of the
solar system. Mutually suspicious fleets from
Earth, Mars, and the Asteroid Belt go to explore

the gate, but one of the humans has a plot to
frame and destroy Jim Holden, captain of the
Rocinante, which is part of the vast flotilla of
scientific and military ships sent to explore
the artifact. Jim is haunted by the ghost of
Detective Miller, who was killed in the first
volume, but continues to feed Jim information
about the alien artifact. The wrong move could
result in the artifact sterilizing the entire
solar system, and there are lots of
opportunities for mis-steps.
Patricia Briggs has two related series, the
Mercy Thompson series (featuring a shapeshifting
VW mechanic, who was raised by
werewolves although she is a were-coyote) and
the Alpha and Omega series (featuring as main
characters a couple who are secondary characters
in the Mercy Thompson series). The story lines
between the two series keep getting more
integrated. Frost Burned ($26.95) stars Mercy
and her regular set of characters, but when her
husband and most of his pack of werewolves are
abducted by a bunch of rogue government agents
who want to use them as assassins, Mercy turns
to some fey, a vampire, and out-of-town
werewolves for help. The Moor (who has been
developed as a character more in the Alpha and
Omega series) is sent in to help save the pack.
The book is a lot of fun if you’re already
familiar with both series, but don’t try to
start with this book.
Sergey and Marina Dyachenko are a married couple
of Russian writers who have won some European

awards, and The Scar ($7.99) is the first of
their books to be translated into English. Egert
is an egotistical member of the military elite
of the city of Kavarren. After he kills in a
duel a hopelessly outclassed visiting student,
he is challenged to a duel by a mysterious
stranger–who leaves him with a scar that carries
a curse of cowardice. Egert flees Kavarren and
tries to find a way to lift the curse. The story
spends more time on setting mood and on physical
descriptions, and is generally more wordy than a
typical American book that focuses much more on
plot–but not enough so as to reduce the
enjoyment of the story.
Eric Brown has put out a bunch of science
fiction books over the last few years, and I
read a couple of the early ones and enjoyed
them. I picked up The Devil’s Nebula ($7.99),
first of the Weird Space series, and it was as
if I had picked up a space opera from the 1960s
(except for a lesbian relationship–I don’t
remember those from the 1960s space operas).
Lots of fast action adventure without much
concern for scientific plausibility or deep
character analysis. The human Expansion has been
pushed back by the forces of the alien Vetch,
but captain Ed Carew, pilot Lania Takiomar, and
engineer Jed Neffard sneak their small space
ship across the border to “salvage” art left
behind in a museum on a planet where the Vetch
drove out the humans. But there is also a
mysterious crashed alien space ship of
previously unknown design on the planet, which
both the humans and the Vetch are puzzled about.

After various dangerous encounters on the
planet, Ed and crew take off, only to be
captured by the forces of the Expansion
government, which has been watching Ed’s crew
and their various “salvage” operations for some
time. The government makes them an offer they
can’t refuse, sending them on a mysterious
mission to the far side of Vetch space, where
they find more alien artifacts and eventually
uncover a plot by an alien race from another
universe to conquer our universe, starting by
taking over both the Vetch and the humans.
Satan’s Reach ($7.99), the second in the Weird
Space universe just came in and I haven’t had
time to read it yet. Flipping through it, it
clearly continues the war against the aliens
from another universe, but doesn’t seem to
follow Ed and his crew.
Recommendations
by Elizabeth LaVelle
In Vienna Waltz ($15.00), Teresa Grant delivers
a story with as many intricate layers and hidden
underpinnings as a lady's toilette. It's 1814,
and the Congress of Vienna is a hotbed of
political maneuvering and international intrigue
accompanied by a social whirl of dinners, balls,
and entertainments, and plenty of scandalous
love affairs. Suzanne Rannoch and her husband
Malcolm find Princess Tatiana Kirsanova, one of
Tsar Alexander's mistresses and a former lover
of Austrian foreign minster Prince Metternich,
murdered in her rooms. There is no sign of a
struggle - she trusted her attacker. Metternich

insists that the Austrian authorities will
handle the investigation, but the head of the
British delegation also wants Malcolm, his top
intelligence agent, to look into the matter.
Tatiana was supplying information to the
British, and no doubt to other parties at the
Congress as well - perhaps she stumbled across a
dangerous secret that led to her death. Suzanne
and Malcolm soon learn that Tatiana had acquired
compromising letters that could put some very
powerful people in very difficult positions,
adding blackmail to the list of possible
motives. When the Austrians arrest Malcolm for
the murder, Suzanne continues investigating with
the assistance of her women friends. Suzanne is
a great character, intelligent, capable, and
unflappable - early in the book, when she and
Malcolm are attacked on a dark street, she
calmly shoots one of the attackers in the
shoulder, twists her cape into a rope to haul
Malcolm up onto a balcony, and joins him in a
scrambling escape across the rooftops. In fact,
the book is full of smart, capable, formidable
women, from princesses to lady's maids to
Malcolm's cousin Aline, who prefers mathematics
to gossip, which comes in really handy when
something needs to be decoded. I'm looking
forward to more of the Rannochs' adventures in
Imperial Scandal ($15.00) and The Paris Affair
($15.00).
Woof at the Door by Laura Morrigan ($7.99) is
the first in a new series set in Florida. Grace
Wilde is an animal behaviorist with a secret
knack: she can communicate telepathically with

animals. Sometimes using words, if the animal
has the vocabulary, more often using images and
emotions, including projecting waves of calming
energy to soothe the animal. And animals can
communicate with her in the same ways. Mostly
she works with pets, but she also helps the zoo
and the police deal with frightened animals.
Which is how she winds up called to the scene of
a murder; Jax, the victim's pet Doberman, is in
a frenzy. As she calms him, she realizes that he
saw the murderer, although at the moment he's so
traumatized that he can't show her clearly, and
that the killer was someone that the victim, and
Jax, really trusted. When the police settle on a
suspect Grace knows is innocent (his pet
provides an alibi), she has to decide. Will she
share what she's learned from the animals in the
case, and how she learned it? And, if she does,
will the distractingly handsome Sergeant Kai
Duncan believe her? If you love animals, you'll
really enjoy watching Grace interact with them,
whether she's trying to coax a panic-stricken
young lemur off her head, or rescuing an injured
giraffe, or helping Jax work through the trauma
of losing his beloved master. Morrigan also
supplies a solid plot with plenty of twists, and
a good supporting cast of family and friends for
Grace.
What's not to love about Odelia Grey? She's
smart, independent, and happily middle-aged.
She's a paralegal, but she doesn't let the
overly demanding lawyer she works with push her
around. Her dad loves her, but her stepfamily
would fit right in on the Jerry Springer show.

She's fat, and belongs to Reality Therapy, a
support group for large people that dispenses
advice, comfort, and support, and cheers on its
members in their daily struggles in an unkind
world. She goes walking most mornings with
friends from the group. In Too Big to Miss by
Sue Ann Jaffarian ($14.95), after Odelia's good
friend Sophie London, the beautiful, confident
woman who started Reality Check, commits
suicide, Odelia learns that Sophie had an exhusband,
and a twenty-year-old son who thinks
his mom died years ago. And that she was the
star of her own adult website, and several dozen
subscribers saw her shoot herself. What made her
do it? At the wake, Odelia meets a handsome
thirty-something man in a wheelchair - Greg
Stevens, who worked with Sophie on her website.
He's determined to find out what led to Sophie's
death; Odelia isn't entirely sure she trusts
him, but she agrees to help. One of the things I
like best about the book is that, as they
uncover information, they share it with the
detective handling Sophie's case, which makes a
refreshing change from the tiresome plot device
of characters not telling the police, then
winding up in deadly peril as a result.
Mystery Reviews
by Gerri Balter
When I read the title Bowled Over by Victoria
Hamilton ($7.99), I thought it had something to
do with bowling. But it has to do with a glass
bowl used to kill Kathy Cooper. Kathy and Jaymie
Leighton were good friends until, for some

eason, Kathy decided that Jaymie had done
something awful to her. Because they had
quarreled, Jaymie is one of the murder suspects.
She sets out to discover what she did that upset
Kathy. No one seems to know, but she finds lots
of people who had fought with Kathy and had a
motive to kill her.
In A Deadly Cliché by Ellery Adams ($7.99),
Olivia Limoges has enough money to do whatever
she wishes. What she doesn’t wish is to find a
dead body on the beach. She wonders if the dead
man had anything to do with the strange
robberies that are taking place. Weird clues are
being left, butter with a knife through it,
antique dolls with silver spoons in their
mouths, and a deck of cards with one queen
missing. Olivia and Laurel, a member of her
writing group, interview the people who have
been robbed, and realize who is guilty. When the
robbers come to attack Laurel, Olivia is the
only one who can help her.
I chose to read Diane Kelly’s Death, Taxes, and
Peach Sangria ($7.99) because of the title. What
could those things have in common? Tara Holloway
is an IRS special agent going after tax
preparers who do phony tax preparations for
people, promising them high returns. She and her
partner are asked to find out how cash is being
funneled to terrorists, but people are afraid to
talk to them. Meanwhile Tara, her friends, and
her co-workers are having problems finding the
right person for them. Even peach sangria
doesn’t help them feel better. All this comes

together when Tara realizes who is helping the
terrorists.
Everything is going well for Becca Robins when
Crops and Robbers by Paige Shelton ($7.99)
begins. Her jams and jellies are selling well.
Her parents have arrived in town to see her
success. The Central South Carolina Restaurant
Association is coming to visit. Everything is
perfect, until the association president tastes
her strawberry preserves and says they’re awful.
When Becca finds the woman's dead body in her
barn, Becca's mother is arrested for the crime.
Becca is sure that her mother is innocent, and
works with the police on the investigation.
What would you do if you found out that you were
a witch? In It Takes a Witch by Heather Blake
($7.99), Darcy and Harper Merriweather were
raised as though they had no powers until after
their father’s death. That’s when their Aunt
Velma tells them that they have the power to
grant wishes, and they join her in Enchanted
Village in Salem. When a woman who claims to
have powers is strangled with their aunt’s scarf
and her boyfriend is found by the body, Aunt
Velma assures them that her boyfriend is
innocent. To help her, Darcy starts to
investigate the case. The murder victim isn’t
well liked, but there are a few people who seem
to care about her. It’s all very confusing to
Darcy, who is having enough problems learning
her new powers.

State Fair by Earlene Fowler ($7.99) shows the
inner workings of a small town state fair, where
Benni Harper is working as a volunteer. First
one of the quilts is stolen. Then her
grandmother wants her to find out what’s wrong
with her great aunt, who is acting strangely.
When Benni finds a dead body, her great aunt
wants to investigate, and Benni has to go with
her to keep her out of trouble. This isn’t like
TV or the movies. The killer isn’t about to let
them find out anything.
After something bad happened to Abby Cooper
without warning, for the first time she began to
doubt her abilities. In Crime Seen by Victoria
Laurie ($7.99), to help her recover, her FBI
agent boyfriend Dutch asks her to look at some
cold cases, hoping that she will see something
he missed. Instead she senses something about a
case that Dutch had closed. Abby thinks the
wrong person was sent to prison, and asks a PI
friend to help her find out the truth. She ends
up going undercover and finding out more than
she wanted to know.
When The Alpine Vengeance by Mary Daheim ($7.99)
begins, Sheriff Milo Dodge has received three
letters, saying that a murder conviction ten
years earlier was a miscarriage of justice, and
demanding that Milo find the real killer. When
the man convicted of the murder dies behind
bars, another letter arrives threatening that
someone else will die because nothing was done.
Since both Emma and Milo were responsible for

the man’s conviction, Emma decides to find out
the truth.
Flyers with “SUGAR KILLS” on them cover Olivia
Greyson’s lawn as A Cookie Before Dying by
Virginia Lowell ($7.99) begins. Olivia owns The
Gingerbread House, where she sells cookie
cutters and cookies, and she knows who put the
flyers on her lawn. When she goes to The
Vegetable Plate to confront Charlene Critch, she
sees a man running away, and discovers that the
store has been trashed. Charlene doesn’t believe
her, and becomes even angrier when Olivia’s
partner makes vegetable-shaped cookies. When
Olivia and her dog find a dead body that
resembles the man she saw running away,
Charlene’s brother confesses to the murder, but
Olivia doesn’t believe that he’s guilty. Then
Charlene says that she’s guilty, but Olivia
doesn’t believe that either. Who really is
guilty? Olivia is determined to find out.
In One Book in the Grave by Kate Carlisle
($7.99), when Brooklyn Wainwright is asked to
restore a first edition of Beauty and the Beast,
she recognizes it. She gave it to her friends
Max and Emily when they became engaged. When she
goes to the rare book dealer to ask how he got
it, she finds him murdered with a weapon that
belonged to the late Max. When she tries to
contact Emily to find out why she gave up the
book, no one seems to know where Emily is.
Brooklyn’s boyfriend Derek insists on helping
her find out the truth.

Kate Shugak thinks she knows all about her uncle
Sam Dementieff when Though Not Dead by Dana
Stabenow ($7.99) begins. He has just died and
has left her everything, which includes land she
had no idea he owned and a letter asking her to
find his father. She learns that Sam’s real
father left before he was born. As she begins
her search, someone begins killing those who can
help her and attacking her each time she gets
close.
In Death by the Dozen by Jenn McKinlay ($7.99),
Melanie and Angie enter the Scottsdale Food
Festival, where Vic Mazzota, Melanie Cooper’s
culinary school mentor, is one of the judges.
When Vic is murdered, his wife takes his place
as judge. Melanie doesn’t plan to investigate,
but when someone tries to poison Angie, she
changes her mind. In between working on cupcakes
for the contest, she looks into Vic’s life, and
finds out more about him than she really wants
to know.
Ghost Hero by S.J. Rozan ($15.99): Ghost Hero
Chau is a Chinese artist who supposedly died
during the Tiananmen Square uprising. When some
artwork allegedly painted by him shows up, Lydia
Chin is hired to investigate. Another Chinese
American PI, Jack Lee, has been hired to find
out the same information. They are both
threatened, and people try to kill them. That
doesn’t stop Lydia and Bill Smith from searching
for the truth. Jack Lee reluctantly joins them.
It seems that everyone they interview isn’t

exactly what they seem. It will take every bit
of their skill to get to the truth.
White House executive chef Ollie Paras and White
House sensitivity director Peter Sargeant seem
to disagree about everything. So in Affairs of
Steak by Julie Hyzy ($7.99), when they both find
one of the First Lady’s assistants and the chief
of staff murdered, Sargeant blames Ollie even
though he knows she didn’t commit the crimes.
Then someone goes after both of them, and
Sargeant realizes that he has to cooperate with
Ollie. When the killer kidnaps them, it’s up to
Sargeant to save Ollie.
What would you do if an old friend showed up
asking for a place to stay? When Bookplate
Special by Lorna Barrett ($7.99) begins, Tricia
Miles is sorry she said yes to her old friend
Pammy, who steals money, leaves the apartment
messy, and is a menace in Tricia's bookstore.
Finally Tricia asks Pammy to leave. When she
finds Pammy's body, Tricia feels responsible.
She finds out is that Pammy searched dumpsters
for usable items. Now someone is threatening
Tricia, demanding a diary, but she has no idea
where it is.
