Summer sizzles with horse racing and murder!
Read
Full Mortality, the first novel by the hottest new mystery writer in the country — Sasscer Hill, America's answer to Dick Francis!

 
Jockey Nikki Latrelle gets the chance of a lifetime—to ride the favorite in a stakes race—only to have her dream destroyed when a mysterious intruder kills her mount the night before the race. Evil is at work at Maryland's Laurel Park race track, and when Nikki stumbles over the body of a gunshot victim, she quickly becomes the prime suspect in a murder case. Framed and facing a possible murder rap, Nikki is ruled-off the track. On her own, Nikki follows a crooked trail of insurance scam and betting fraud. But with the odds against her, can she clear her name—and put the real criminals behind bars?

     What Others Are Saying About Full Mortality 

“Nikki is one of the most appealing fictional characters I’ve ever met. You are rooting for her every inch of the way.  The descriptions of backstretch life are enchanting.”
— Lucy Acton, Editor, Mid-Atlantic Thoroughbred
 
"If you like the work of Dick Francis or Sue Grafton, you will like Sasscer Hill. With a true insider’s knowledge of horse racing, Hill brings us Nikki Latrelle, a young jockey placed in harm’s way who finds the courage to fight the odds and the heart to race for her dreams.”
– Mike Battaglia, NBC racing analyst and TV host,
veteran track announcer, and “morning line”
odds maker for the Kentucky Derby.
 
 
“I thoroughly enjoyed Full Mortality — the pages fly by, the characters are vivid, and Hill captures life on the backstretch perfectly.”
Charlsie Cantey, racing analyst for ESPN, ABC, CBS, and NBC

A Thunder of Trumpets

by Robert E. Howard

The final volume of the Weird Works of Robert E. Howard contains the last of Howard’s stories and poems published in Weird Tales and elsewhere, many placed after his death. While these works seem disparate by virtue of the fact that they are not part of a greater “cycle” of tales, they are in no way inferior to the Conan or Cthulhu Mythos tales. In fact, two of the best stories Howard ever wrote are contained in this final volume.

“Pigeons from Hell” is a dark southern gothic horror story that grabs the reader right away and refuses to let go until the genuinely creepy ending. The two protagonists in the story may be thinly disguised versions of Howard himself and pen pal H.P. Lovecraft, who scoffed at the Southern part of the country’s ability to summon any ghostly folklore that could rival New England’s. Readers may consider this to be Howard’s final word on that particular subject.

In the annals of Howard fans, his lone sword-and-planet novel, Almuric, is something of a cult classic. Originally conceived as a novel for a British publisher, Otto Binder may have completed it to make it sellable.

“The Witch From Hell’s Kitchen” is another odd tale. Not one of the “historical Oriental adventures” that Howard wrote (although there is some intrigue and derring-do involved), nor a straightforward horror story either, it bends genres.  You don’t really know where this one is going until you get to the end.

A fine selection of Howard’s verse, including “The Ghost Kings,” “A Thunder of Trumpets,” and “The King and the Oak,” rounds out the volume.  Cover by Stephen Fabian. Introduction by Mark Finn.

Volume 10 — the epic conclusion to
