Fans of science fiction and fantasy grandmaster Robert Silverberg, five-time winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards, might be surprised to see his work now appear as a Hard Case Crime thriller. There is no sci-fi in BLOOD ON THE MINK, but this is a terrific noir story that had been forgotten for half a century. It is also an example of pulp fiction at its finest. Read More

About the Book

Somewhere in Philadelphia, a master engraver is turning out brilliant forgeries of U.S. currency plates for an organized crime gang --- and the government wants to put a stop to it. But how can they get close enough to bring down the criminal enterprise from the inside? 

By snatching a west coast crime boss' right-hand man and sending a federal agent undercover in the man's place. His assignment: pose as a buyer of counterfeit bills and try to get the engraver out. Which works fine --- until he crosses paths with someone who knows the man he replaced... 

A lost masterpiece from science fiction Grandmaster Robert Silverberg, published as a complete novel for the very first time!

Paris in Love: A Memoir by Eloisa James

April 2012

Eloisa James took readers along on her family’s one-year sabbatical in PARIS IN LOVE instead of just sending out postcards. Throughout the year, she shared her experiences on Facebook, and in PARIS IN LOVE compiled those posts along with a series of essays to add additional insights to this experience. It’s a very modern-day memoir. She has a strong “voice” that makes even her briefest posts charming, and her skill as a writer makes the discordant pieces flow together to give the reader a breezy travelogue that makes you want to pack up and hit the road. She also has a gift of humor and can be marvelously self-deprecating.
