A Spider Latham Red Rock Mystery (5th in series)

Publisher: Century Press

Price: $4.99 (as of 11/02/2016 at 12:30 PM ET).

  

Spider Latham finds himself at loose ends. No longer a deputy, he's not sure where he fits in. Then an eminent scientist falls to his death from the cliffs above town. The circumstances are suspicious — and all those with a motive for murder are houseguests of the Latham's.

It's Deputy Sheriff Toby Flint's case, but as everyone knows, Deputy Flint couldn't detect his way out of a paper bag. Helping him, Spider finds himself up to his neck in conjectures and clues until someone knocks him out and dumps him into Peek-a-boo Canyon dudring a rainstorm. Then he's up to his neck in water.

Feverishly working with Toby, Spider's intent on unsnarling the mystery before someone — one of his houseguests? — makes another try on his life.

An Excerpt from Expired Listings by D.M. Barr

We are delighted to welcome back author D.M. Barr to Omnimystery News.

Last week we talked about D.M.'s new cross-over thriller Expired Listings (Punctuated Publishing; September 2016 trade paperback and ebook formats) and today we're so pleased that she agreed to share a section from it with us. This is an excerpt from later in the novel, where Dana is remembering how she first told her best friend, confidant and colleague Endicott how she was planning to come to Rock Canyon to sell real estate. Some slight changes have been made from the original for clarity and to avoid giving away any spoilers.

— ♦ —

YOU? REAL ESTATE? I DON'T THINK SO."
  Two days later, Dana and Endicott were sitting at the Gresham Café, sharing afternoon tea, as he expressed incredulity over her newly chosen career. She doused her scone with an unhealthy helping of strawberry jam and clotted cream, burying fears of leaving Gresham, her adopted hometown, in an avalanche of sugar.
  "Oh please, Endie. You could be a little more supportive."
  "Oh, I love it. You and me, working side by side. Knocking each other out of deals.
  Bludgeoning each other's reputation. It's a terrific idea!"
  "I don't plan to be that kind of real estate agent."
  "No one does. It evolves naturally. Like apes into humans. Only in reverse." "I can do this. I know I can. And still look myself in the mirror in the morning."
  "Uh huh. Whose mirror will that be? The one in the empty listing you'll be sleeping in with your lover?"
  "I knew I shouldn't have told you about that. Endie, no one's going to be hurt by my 'borrowing' their overpriced home. Especially if I'm pricing it according to their demands. And hey, I can't exactly have him come to my house, can I? Especially now that we'll be living in the same town. He's known, after all."
  "Where are you moving to, anyway? In with Sis? Or Mommy dearest?"
  "No way. Melanie asked, but I think that would be an awful idea. No, I found a small studio over on Grant. Very simple. Cheap."
  "And what about the Gresham house? You adore that place."
  "I'm going to rent it out. I know how much you love that daily commute. Maybe I should get a two-bedroom in Rock Canyon instead. Then you could move in with me."
  "Grayson would just love that. You're not exactly number one on his hit parade these day, you know."
  "I don't understand why he dislikes me so."
  "He's very possessive. You're in my life and he doesn't like sharing. The fact that you came first doesn't seem to make a difference. Now that our little joint project is over, he has no more use for you."
  Endie reached over and tugged on her hair. "But you'll always be my little Daney Waney Subby
  Sub."
  She rolled her eyes and swatted him off.
  "I hate when you call me that."
  "I know. Especially when you're the least submissive person I know. That's why I'll say it twice today."
  She mock-punched him in the shoulder.
  "I think we can make this happen. Working together could be fun."
  "I know you think that. Your naivety is adorable. Really. Have you thought about the elephant in the room?"
  "What's that?"
  "You. Your face, your picture, Little Ms. Whips and Trips, going up on signs all around town. Won't your pervy friends out you to the world?"
  "Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. Scene people keep to themselves. They respect each other's privacy. After all, if they outed someone, wouldn't they be outing themselves in the process? No, I'm more worried about you and all these other agents screwing me out of potential deals. Would you really do that?"
  "Every chance I get, baby, but don't worry. I may throw you a bone or two while you're starting out."
  "Gee, thanks"
  "De nada, girl, this is Darwin Country. Survival of the Fittest. Watch your back, never mention details of a deal to anyone, and never take anything at face value. Remember, buyers are liars and sellers are storytellers."
  "But I don't get it. I'm there to help them, aren't I? How can I do that when they're lying to me?"
  "They mostly want to help themselves. They don't really believe they need you. They think they know everything, and you know nothing. They'll try to screw you at every turn, so they don't have to pay you a penny more than necessary."
  "Lovely. Sheesh, you make it sound like working in real estate would be like swimming in the Amazon with a school of piranha."
  "You'd be lucky if they were only piranhas. Selling real estate in Rock Canyon is much more like swimming with the candiru."
  "The what?" Endie, the trivia buff, never missed an opportunity to remind her about how much minutiae he knew.
  "The candiru. They're tiny Amazon parasitic catfish that either swim into the gills of other fish and eat them from the inside out, or swim up the urethra or anus of humans, who later die from the infection caused by the fish rotting inside them."
  "I'll show you, Endicott Coxwell. I'll prove I can swim in the Amazon and avoid the piranhas and candiru."
  "If anyone can do it, Dana, my money's on you. But while you're in the water, watch out for the pacu. They'll go after your balls and judging by the size of yours, it'll be like Thanksgiving at the Waltons'."

Expired Listings by D.M. Barr

A Psychological Thriller

Publisher: Punctuated Publishing

What if people were dying around you and you weren't absolutely sure you weren't their murderer? Someone is 'deactivating' the Realtors in Rock Canyon and almost no one seems to care. Not the surviving brokers, who consider the serial killings a competitive boon. Not the town's residents, who see the murders as a public service. In fact, the only person who's even somewhat alarmed is Dana Black, a kinky, sharp-witted yet emotionally skittish Realtor who has no alibi for the crimes because during each, she believes she was using her empty listings for games like Bondage Bingo with her sadistic lover, Dare. And yet, mysteriously, all clues are pointing her way.

Along with clearing her name and avoiding certain death at the hands of the 'Realtor Retaliator,' Dana has an even bigger problem: she's inadvertently become a person of interest in more ways than one to Aidan Cummings, the sexy albeit vanilla detective investigating the case. While his attentions are tempting, Dana is torn — does she continue her ironically 'safe' but sterile BDSM relationship with Dare, or risk real intimacy with Aidan?

A Conversation with Mystery Author Michael Mayo

We are delighted to welcome author Michael Mayo to Omnimystery News today.

Michael's third mystery in his Jimmy Quinn series is Jimmy and Fay (MysteriousPress.com; October 2016 trade paperback and ebook formats) and we recently had the chance to catch up with him to talk more about it.

— ♦ —

Omnimystery News: Jimmy and Fay is the third entry in this series. What is your favorite part of exploring his character?

Photo provided courtesy of
Michael Mayo

Michael Mayo: Learning more about everyday life in New York in the 1920s and '30s. The times were like our own in many ways — economic instability, massive changes in technology, intense political conflict — but the differences were profound, too. The more I learn about racial relations and the growing independence of women, the more I try to incorporate them into the novels. My books are entertainment. Jimmy is never going to be a crusader, but I want to make the reality of those times an important part of the story and let readers work it out on their own.

OMN: For readers new to the series, tell us a little more about him.

MM: Jimmy was born in either 1910 or 1911. His records are unclear. His parents were Irish immigrants who moved into a crowded Hell's Kitchen building owned by a woman named Mother Moon. She raised Jimmy after his mother died and his father wandered off. Due to his small stature, Jimmy was not a good thief like many of the other kids in the place. But she realized that he could run really fast and maneuver through city streets more skillfully than any adult. He also followed orders and so she hired him out as a runner/messenger for Arnold Rothstein. Working for AR, Jimmy was involved in many of the criminal activities of the day, from the fixing of the Black Sox World Series to the first large-scale smuggling of alcohol into New York from England and Europe.

From that background, he wound up owning a quiet little neighborhood speakeasy. It's a place where both cops and crooks are welcome, and unusual things tend to happen.

OMN: The series is set in Prohibition Era New York City. How do you go about researching the city at that time?

MM: I lived in New Jersey for years and became familiar with many of the places where famous and infamous crimes were committed — the stairway in the Grand Central Building where the gunmen who killed Salvatore Maranzano escaped, the drug store (now a pet shop) where Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll was tommygunned in a phone booth. (Both killings, by the way, are still officially unsolved.) Yes, the streets and buildings have changed but the past is still there just beneath the surface.

A subscription to The New York Times is an invaluable resource. Their TimesMachine web page gives you access to every page of every issue, complete with the ads. No more squinting at reels of microfilm in the back of the library.

OMN: Suppose Jimmy were to interview you. What would he ask, and how would you answer?

MM: Assuming that Frenchy and Marie Therese have the night off, Jimmy is working behind the bar. Early in the evening, I wander in from 22nd Street. Jimmy asks what I'm drinking. I answer, "Bourbon if you've got it." He says that he doesn't really trust the stuff his distributor sells him as bourbon, so I say, "Irish then, with just a splash of seltzer, and tell me, what's the story of that painting behind the bar, the lady who's looking so coyly over her naked shoulder?"

OMN: You have written about film for newspapers and have hosted national radio shows about movies. How did you get started in those fields, and what made you transition to writing mysteries?

MM: I loved movies even before I was tall enough to hand a quarter to the attendant. Later, the social aspect of movie-going with friends or a date was less important to me than the movies themselves. That's also why I watch my favorites over and over. So, I consider myself a student of film more than a fan. I started freelancing film reviews for The Roanoke Times in the 1970s. At the same time, I was working for a public library and part of my job was producing and hosting a weekly show on the new Public Radio station. It was a combination of book and film reviews and music.

Eventually, the newspaper work led to a series of books for Visible Ink Press's VideoHound film guides — Video Premieres, Horror Show, War Movies and the DVD Guides. I did a lot of television and radio interviews promoting those books. About then, I became involved with The Movie Show on Radio, a live syndicated show. It was the most enjoyable professional experience I've ever had. I worked with terrific people and every week something surprised me.

After that, I shifted gears and wrote American Murder: Criminals, Crime and the Media. Research on that led me to the wonderful world of Prohibition. Lacking the discipline and training to explore the subject as non-fiction, I decided to write suspense novels. It wasn't much of a stretch since so many writers, going back to Walter Winchell and Damon Runyon, freely mixed fact and fiction telling those stories.

OMN: What are some of your outside interests? And have any of these found their way into your books?

MM: I walk, swim and play racquetball, and I can't say that I use any of them in the books, though I always carry pen and paper when I walk because it's so conducive to good ideas.

OMN: As a reader, when selecting a book to read for pleasure, what do you look for?

MM: First, I look for an engaging voice. Particularly when I'm considering a new author, something about that first page has to grab my attention. And I have to admit that I'm attracted to unusual settings — unusual for me, anyway — like Ovidia Yu's Singapore, Lou Berney's Oklahoma City, Rachel Howzell Hall's Los Angeles or Julie Mulhern's '70s suburbia — just to name four really good writers I've recently discovered.

OMN: What's next for you?

MM: I'm working on Jimmy's Rules. Much of it concerns William Seabrook. Though he's hardly known now, Willie was one of the most popular and influential authors of the '20s and '30s. He wrote several best-sellers about his travels to Africa and Arabia. He introduced America to zombies with Magic Island, his book about Haiti. He was an early and vigorous proponent of what's now called "polyamorous" relationships. Later in his career, he was the first celebrity to reveal that he was an alcoholic and to describe his treatment in Asylum. He and Jimmy find their way into a couple of difficult situations.

Michael Mayo has written about film for the Washington Post and the Roanoke Times. He was the host of the nationally syndicated radio programs Movie Show on Radio and Max and Mike on the Movies. He is the author of American Murder: Criminals, Crime, and the Media. Mayo lives in North Carolina.

Jimmy and Fay by Michael Mayo

A Jimmy Quinn Mystery

Publisher: MysteriousPress.com

In the midst of Prohibition, Jimmy Quinn joins forces with screen siren Fay Wray to take on a King Kong — size case of extortion.

It's March 2, 1933. King Kong is premiering at Radio City Music Hall, and Fay Wray is about to become the most famous actress on earth. So what's she doing hanging around a rundown Manhattan speakeasy? This Hollywood scream queen has come to see Jimmy Quinn, a limping tough guy who knows every gangster in New York — and does his best to steer clear of them all.

A blackmailer has pictures of a Fay Wray lookalike engaged in conduct that would make King Kong blush, and Fay's movie studio — with the cooperation of a slightly corrupt NYPD detective — wants the threat eliminated. Jimmy tries to settle the matter quietly, but stopping the extortion will cut just as deeply as Fay's famous scream, ringing from Broadway all the way to Chinatown.

A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: Gallery Books

A strange plague called the 'Gets is decimating humanity on a global scale. It causes people to forget — small things at first, like where they left their keys … then the not-so-small things like how to drive, or the letters of the alphabet. Then their bodies forget how to function involuntarily … and there is no cure.

But now, far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, deep in the Mariana Trench, an heretofore unknown substance hailed as "ambrosia"' — a universal healer, from initial reports — has been discovered. It may just be the key to eradicating the 'Gets. In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab, the Trieste, has been built eight miles under the sea's surface. But when the station goes incommunicado, a brave few descend through the lightless fathoms in hopes of unraveling the mysteries lurking at those crushing depths … and perhaps to encounter an evil blacker than anything one could possibly imagine.
