Click to view full description | 1. | Ann Lawrence Lord of the Hunt
Leisure Books Paperback
The thrill of the hunt. What man did not savor it? Whether the chase was for savage boar, political prize, or beautiful heiress, a knight worth his spurs threw himself into it once his blood was up. And if Adam Quintin was to succeed at the secret task given him by the king, he must pursue all three. But never did he imagine he might become the quarry himself - unhorsed by a wild boar, betrayed by political enemies, seduced by a simple maid with no claim to power or position. As daughter to the keeper of the hounds, Joan Swan was no stranger to the hunt. Like the legendary Diana, she slipped through the moonlit woods with her dogs, her loveliness as irresistible to Adam as the goddess herself. Hunter and hunted, lover and beloved, they would come together in a moment as impossible to escape as it was full of ecstacy.

| 2. | Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee Inherit the Wind
Bantam Books Paperback
The Legal Battle of the Century!
The accused was a slight, frightened man who had deliberately broken the law. His trial was a Roman circus. The chief gladiators were the two great legal giants of the century. Like two bull elephants locked in mortal combat, they bellowed and roared imprecations and abuse. The spectators sat uneasily in the sweltering heat with murder in their hearts, barely able to restrain themselves. At stake was the freedom of every American.

| 3. | Lawrence Sanders McNally's Alibi
G.P. Putnam's Sons Hard Cover
When Decimus Fortesque, the millionaire collector of wives and rare manuscripts, hires Archy McNally to locate the Holy Grail of missing tomes - the complete text of Truman Capote's Answered Prayers - Palm Beach's premier P.I. uncovers nothing but scandal. Luscious Claudia Lester claims to have had the manuscript but declares that her lover, Matthew Harrigan, ran off with it; a lover scorned, Harrigan says Claudia is lying. And Rodney Whitehead, a shady antiques dealer, maintains that neither Claudia nor Harrigan is to be believed. When the supposed owner of the manuscript meets with misadventure in a sleazy motel, and Archy awakens in his Miata with a baseball-sized bump on the head, there's no end to the finger-pointing. It's up to the investigating officer, Lieutenant O'Hara, to make sense of the mess, though there's more than a little suspicion that Archy knows more than he's willing to admit about the murder, the manuscript, and its ardent pursuers.

The clan in question bears the proud name Forsythe, but the devious saga played out within the fortresslike walls of their baronial estate is far too raw ever to make it to Masterpiece Theatre. Called in by patriarch Griswold Forsythe II - a client of Archy's father, who even the closemouthed senior McNally admits is pretty dull - our happy-go-lucky sleuth commences a covert search to discover which intimate relative is lifting the family valuables piece by piece.

Something is tarnished on the Gold Coast of Florida: behind Palm Beach's highfalutin facade bubbles a lowdown brew of blackmail, fraud, adultry, and murder. Playboy sleuth Archy McNally specializes in "discreet cases" for his father's old-line law firm. Plying his trade amongst the rich and privileged, Archy must make any little "embarrassments" vanish - without letting the barest hint of scandal come to light. But when he's called in to retrieve some property stolen from a wealthy matron's mansion, Archy's genius for soft-pedaling is put on the line. The matron, Lady Cynthia Horowitz, is a sexy Setpuagenarian, and the missing object is a block of priceless stamps known as "Inverted Jennies." Assessing the theft as an inside job, Archy comes up with a plethora of suspects, from Lady Cynthia's either dotty or disgruntled offspring to a chauffeur with a shady past. Then a local philatelist is slain, and the trail leads back to the Jennies. Before Archy solves the case of the purloined pane, he will encounter another death, a fine romance to test a bachelor's mettle, and a shocking secret that hits too close to home...
