BREATHE NO MORE, MY LADYNorm Connor is the ad director for a New York publisher, and a man with a dilemma. One of their top-selling mystery authors, Matt Anthony, has been arrested for murdering his wife. The publisher wants to support Matt, but doesn’t want the bad publicity that goes along with it. So Norm starts digging into the affair to determine himself whether he thinks Matt is guilty. What he discovers is a contradictory set of stories between Matt’s friends who heard him threaten to kill his wife-but didn’t take it seriously--and Matt’s own confession, which he gave to the investigating cop. And the further Norm delves, the more he begins to wonder whether Matt the mystery writer is spinning a tale of his own.SHAKEDOWN FOR MURDERNew York cop Matt Lund is on vacation, visiting his son’s family in End Harbor. He’d rather be home with his cat. But he dutifully visits his two kids once a year. The last thing he wants is to get involved in the death of the local doctor. The town cops think it’s an accident-his car was found smashed into a tree, and the doc was in the road, run over. But Matt can’t help himself. He’s got to show off in front of his grandson. He points out that it couldn’t have been an accident-the door wasn’t sprung. It looks like murder to him. Now Matt is deep into it, trying to make his daughter-in-law happy by proving that the man the cops have now arrested is as innocent as she claims he is.

    It was a few minutes before eleven when I unlocked our door. The dumb lamp we had in the two-by-four 'foyer' was on. The lamp looked like a drippy flower and cost fifty-seven bucks strictly because it was imported from Denmark. If all their lamps are like this job they must be blind over there. I could just about make out the couch opened as a bed, was surprised Mary was in the...

    'The place seemed to be filling up with uniformed cops. I felt trapped. I shrugged and headed for the door. Suddenly I wasn’t as much angry as plain tired. All I wanted was to get out of this rat trap, return to Rose and our boat; get the hell back to Ansel’s island where the only problem was whether we’d sleep all day or go underwater fishing. I don’t know, maybe I was nuts. O...
