Publisher's Synopsis
Four of Josh Lanyon's most popular crime novellas collected for the first time in print. Cards on the Table - Fifty years ago a glamorous Hollywood party ended in murder-the only clue a bloody Tarot card. Timothy North is trying to find out what happened that long ago summer's night, but when a Tarot card turns up pinned to his front door, the only person Tim can turn to for help is his ex-lover, Detective Jack Brady. Mummy Dearest - Drew Lawson is racing against the clock. He's got a twenty-four-hour window to authenticate the mummy of Princess Merneith. If he's not at his boyfriend's garden party when that window closes, it'll be the final nail in their relationship's coffin. The last thing he needs traipsing on the final shred of his patience is brash, handsome reality-show host Fraser Fortune, who's scheduled to film a documentary about the mummy's Halloween curse. Don't Look Back - Peter Killian, curator at Constantine House in Los Angeles, wakes in the hospital to find himself accused of stealing a Tenth Century Chinese sculpture. Peter knows he's not a thief-but that's all he knows. Why is hot and handsome Detective Mike Griffin so sure Peter's guilty-and so bent on seeing him arrested? Kick Start - Former DS Agent Will Brandt is finally braced to bring his partner in work and romance Taylor MacAllister home to meet the folks. Unfortunately, not every member of the Brandt clan loves Taylor the way Will does. Then again, not everyone loves the Brandts. In fact, someone has a score to settle-and too bad for any former DS agents who get in the way when the bullets start to fly.
