Inhaltsangabe

#1 Amazon New Release, The Silver Waves of Summer is a compulsively readable collection of crime stories by New York Times and International best-selling writers, and Edgar and Shamus Award winners.

“Olsen has masterfully gathered an established crew of writers to maximum effect...A potent assemblage of briskly paced tales that will satisfy mystery and crime noir fans." -Kirkus Reviews

“The Silver Waves of Summer is perfect reading for long, hot days. It was incredibly satisfying and reassuring to read [such] intelligent and thoughtful work. – Amazon review

“This is a truly impressive collection of “surf noir” stories.” -Amazon Review

In “Lighthouse Scene for Miles,” internationally best-selling writer Michael Scott Moore (The Desert and the Sea: 977 Days Captive on the Somali Pirate Coast) takes us back to the famed Lighthouse Cafe in 1950’s Southern California, in a story featuring the great jazz legend, Miles Davis.

NY Times best-selling writer Tod Goldberg (Gangsterland, Living Dead Girl) brings us a compelling new short story, “The Summer of ’86,” where a recently released bank robber, Mitch Lenney, travels to a sleepy seaside town on the Monterey Bay to help his sister run a bike shop after her boyfriend suddenly disappears. This is a crime noir short not to be missed.

In “Off the 405,” Edgar Award winner Naomi Hirahara (Snakeskin Shamisen, Clark and Division) takes us on a beach excursion where three families meet on a hot, sunny day in Southern California that ends with a high-speed chase up the 405, against traffic.

In a murder mystery that rivals Agatha Christie, “The Naked and the Dead” by Shamus Award winner Charles Ardai (Songs of Innocence, Little Girl Lost) transports us to a private nude beach on the East Coast, where a member is murdered in an impossible fashion. It is up to private detective Susan Jaffe to solve the case.

In “In the Bank” by Antoine Wilson (Panorama City, Mouth to Mouth), two friends embark on an adventure to intercept a drug cartel’s shipment by disguising an old fishing boat as US Coast Guard to disastrous consequences.

In “The Five Thieves of Bombay Beach” by Rob Roberge (Liar, More than They Could Chew), we follow Duane Reed to the Salton Sea with its postapocalyptic landscape in a search of a missing person: Duane’s father, Walt Reed, who disappeared years before somewhere in Bombay Beach.

Things take a sinister turn in a new horror story by the talented Samantha Tkac. In “Sundays are for Robberies,” two sisters have each other’s back at all costs, including when it comes to murder.
