A HAND FOR A HAND
MUIR, T. FRANK
Murder. It’s the only word in a note clutched by the dismembered hand found on the lush green of a golf
course in St. Andrews, Scotland. When DCI Andy Gilchrist learns the note is addressed to him, he
realizes the thing he feared most has come to pass: a killer is deliberately targeting him. Though Gilchrist
is no new hand at solving murders, this time he is overwhelmed by the flood of seemingly unconnected
crises—the note clutched in the hand, his son’s missing girlfriend, his ex-wife’s failing health, and his
boss’s decision to pair Gilchrist up with a scumbag detective from his past, who in turn is hiding evidence.
Worse, the hand turns out to be just the beginning, and soon he’s faced with relentless parade of body
parts.

HAPPY HOUR IN HELL
WILLIAMS, TAD
My name’s Bobby Dollar, sometimes known as Doloriel, and of course, Hell isn’t a great place for
someone like me—I’m an angel. They don’t like my kind down there, not even the slightly fallen variety.
But they have my girlfriend, who happens to be a beautiful demon named Casi¬mira, Countess of Cold
Hands. Why does an angel have a demon girlfriend? Well, certainly not because it helps my career. She’s
being held hostage by one of the nasti¬est, most powerful demons in all of the nether¬world—Eligor,
Grand Duke of Hell. He already hates me, and he’d like nothing better than to get his hands on me and
rip my immortal soul right out of my borrowed but oh-so-mortal body. But wait, it gets better! Not only do I
have to sneak into Hell, make my way across thousands of miles of terror and suffering to reach Pandemonium,
capital of the fiery depths, but then I have to steal Caz right out from under Eligor’s burning
eyes and smuggle her out again, past demon soldiers, hellhounds, and all the murder¬ous creatures
imprisoned there for eternity. And even if I somehow manage to escape Hell, I’m also being stalked by an
undead psychopath named Smyler who’s been following me for weeks. Oh, and did I mention that he
can’t be killed? So if I somehow survive Hell, elude the Grand Duke and all his hideous minions and make
it back to the real world, I’ll still be the most hunted soul in Creation. But at least I’ll have Caz. Gotta have
something to look forward to, right?
