Book Description
A Merry Band of Murderers is more than a compilation of short mystery stories from some of the genre's finest writers. It is also an exploration of music. Conceived by Claudia Bishop and Don Bruns, the collection is staged in two acts: first, a non-fiction discussion of short stories, mysteries, and music; and second, a compilation of musical short mysteries. The first act opens with an essay by Bishop explaining the role of the short story in mystery writing and another essay by Bruns discussing writers who play, sing, and compose. The second act is more whimsical. There are thirteen music-centered stories from authors Mary Anna Evans, Jim Fusilli, Bill Moody, Rupert Holmes, Rhys Bowen, John Lescroart, Nathan Walpole, Peter Robinson, Jeffery Deaver, Tom Cocoran, Val McDermid, and, of course, the editors themselves. Each story is accompanied by a short introduction, song lyrics, and an interview with the writer.

Expert muffin baker Merry Wynter is finally ready to turn her passion into a career. But when a dead body is found on her property, she’s more worried about cooking up an alibi… Merry is making a fresh start in small-town Autumn Vale, New York, in the mansion she’s inherited from her late uncle, Melvin. The house is run-down and someone has been digging giant holes on the grounds, but with its restaurant-quality kitchen, the place has potential for her new baking business. She even has her first client—the local retirement home. Unfortunately, Merry soon finds that quite a few townsfolk didn’t like Uncle Mel, and she has inherited their enmity as well as his home. Local baker Binny Turner and her crazy brother, Tom, blame Melvin for their father’s death, and Tom may be the one vandalizing her land. But when Tom turns up dead in one of the holes in her yard, Merry needs to prove she had nothing to do with his death—or her new muffin-making career may crumble before it starts...

Book Description
He was young and talented — a golfing phenom with the whole world in his hands ... and a killer on his trail. He made the whole world go weak at the knees. With his skill, grace, and innocence, golfing prodigy Buddy Martin even won over the cynical press corps. And with legions of fans following his every move, Buddy was headed for the promised land: a victory at this year's U.S. Open on Long Island's famous and historic Shinnecock Hills golf course. But somewhere between the fairways and the sea — between the fog that rolled in at night and the fates that haunt heroes — tragedy would strike Buddy and the one person who really knew him. Now legendary golf writer John Morris and his sexy friend Julia Sullivan are delving into the life and times of a golfing great. And what they find is a story more amazing than the myth itself: a story of love, loss, and gruesome murder. Published previously in paperback by Dell Publishing Group, this Morris & Sullivan Mystery is now digitally available from QP Books, an imprint of Quid Pro. This is an authorized and unabridged republication, and Number 7 in the complete, acclaimed series by master mystery writer John Logue.
