Description

In the tradition of the Ace Doubles (flip the book over to read the second title), here's the twelfth Wildside Mystery Double: KAWANGA: A MYSTERY NOVEL, by Jack Halliday. Kawanga, an obscure outback town in Australia, becomes the focus of a quest for a missing ancient document. His Majesty's servant, Lord Conley, must retrieve the stolen paper before it falls into the wrong hands. Joining him are ex-martial artist Donald Brant, French femme fatale Camille, British DS Bonnington, and a motley crew of money-hungry henchman. This past-paced thriller is a nonstop adventure filled with intrigue, romance, action, and heart-pounding suspense. For everyone involved, all roads lead to...Kawanga! SWAN SONG AND OTHER MYSTERY STORIES, by Jack Halliday. Chip, a screenwriter, just wants to cure his writer's block with an impromptu drive to a small town outside of L.A. But his vehicle is smashed within minutes of his arrival, and then he's beaten in his room atop the strange town's only diner. This poignant and moving noir novella will stun you with, not one, but TWO satisfying twist endings worthy of Mickey Spillane. And this is just the first of eight stories included in this collection. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride: Jack Halliday is a major new talent!
