Media Reviews
"Alive with the music of 1947, the voices of the era, the smell of the postwar, refreshingly straightforward and evocative 'Kill Me Again' is right up there with Walter Mosley's 'Devil in a Blue Dress,' and easily one of the best of the year. Don't miss it."
-- Mystery Scene
"In Elliott, Faherty has created a believable and likeable protagonist. The atmosphere of 1940s tinsel town is very well done. All told, this is one of the better new series, and a solid book."
-- Armchair Detective
"Edgar-nominated author Faherty has a feel for the way we all think Hollywood types act when the cameras aren't rolling, and he feeds our fantasies with deft characterizations and right-on dialogue."

Publisher's Notes
August in L.A. is a miserable month no matter what year it is, but August 1947 was shaping up to be a singularly awful one. The house Un-American Activities Committee had come to town and was making everyone in Hollywood, the Technicolor heart of L.A., nervous. And all the moguls in town were twitching because Warner Bros. had decided to take its greatest wartime romance, PASSAGE TO LISBON, and pull a sequel, LOVE ME AGAIN, out of it. Why were they twitching? Because this meant that the boys at Warner had a surefire hit on their hands.

A Few Minutes Past Midnight

Eureka
by William Diehl
Eureka. It’s what you say when you strike gold. It’s also a town in California where the truth might be buried forever. In New York Times bestselling author William Diehl’s thrilling, accomplished new novel, the seamy past of America’s most glamorous state lies in this deceptively peaceful area, one hundred miles north of Los Angeles. It was the lawless place from which young, rugged Thomas Culhane escaped to fight World War I. Now it’s a place where, two decades later, police detective Zeke Bannon investigates a death that seems a sad accident. Until you look a bit closer. The year is 1941. Verna Wilensky has been electrocuted in her bathtub, leaving a lower-middle-class life, no survivors, and a bank account packed with almost a hundred thousand dollars. Mysterious checks have consistently come to her for more than twenty years, most drawn from a bank in San Pietro, a town once known as Eureka. Eureka was a town that used to be a bootlegger’s paradise and a gangster’s dream. Now it is the rebuilt metropolis where Sheriff Thomas Culhane is launching a bid to be the golden state’s next governor. But something just might threaten his ambitions. As Bannon digs deeper into Wilensky’s demise, he unearths a decades-old secret that starts in a shootout, builds to a bloodbath, and could end up within the upper echelons of California’s elite, forever changing the destiny of a state. Rich in historical detail, complex in its connection between past and present, and filled with the nonstop action that are the hallmarks of this modern master, Eureka is an epic achievement of storytelling and suspense–William Diehl’s most extraordinary novel yet.

Tender Is Levine
by Andrew Bergman
It is September, 1950 and P. I. Jack LeVine has just pulled himself out of a year-long depression triggered by his father's death. He has re-invigorated his life and re-decorated his Broadway office when a high-strung second violinist from the NBC symphony walks through his newly-painted door and insists that the great Maestro Arturo Toscanini has vanished and that the orchestra is being led by an imposter. From this point on we are drawn into a violent and high-stakes investigation that will lead LeVine from the executive towers of NBC to decadent Havana and then to a raw desert town called Las Vegas. Along the way he uncovers an elaborate scheme involving the fiddler's gorgeous daughter and winds up rubbing shoulders with the fabled likes of Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky. Tender is LeVine then rockets to a hair-raising conclusion with a murderous cross-country chase as LeVine and Maestro Toscanini make a desperate run for their lives.
