HAZARDOUS DUTY
GRIFFIN, W.E.B.
Mexican drug cartels are shooting up the streets of Laredo and El Paso. Somali pirates are holding three
U.S. tankers for ransom. The President is fed up and has what he thinks is a pretty bright idea—to get
hold of Colonel Charley Castillo and his merry band and put them on the case. Unfortunately, that will be
difficult. Everybody knows that the President hates Castillo’s guts, has just had him forcibly retired from
the military, and now Castillo’s men are scattered far and wide, many of them in hiding. There are also
whispers that the President himself is unstable—the word “nutcake” has been mentioned.

HEIRS OF THE BODY
DUNN, CAROLA
In the late 1920’s in England, The Honourable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher is recruited to help her cousin
Edgar—i.e. the Lord Dalrymple. About to turn fifty, Lord Dalrymple decides it is time to find out who would
be the heir to the viscountcy. With the help of the family lawyer, who advertises Empire-wide, they have
come up with four potential claimants. For his fiftieth birthday, Edgar invites those would-be heirs—along
with Daisy and the rest of the family—to Fairacres, the family estate. In the meantime, Daisy is asked to
be the family's representative at the lawyer's interviews with the claimants. Those four are a hotelier from
Scarborough, a diamond merchant from South Africa, a young mixed-raced boy from Trinidad, and a
sailor from Jamaica. However, according to his very pregnant wife, the sailor has gone missing.
