Ross Macdonald's classic P. I. Lew Archer takes a chilling case in California, where the mob isn't the only deadly thing under the West Coast sun. Margaret Millar brings us the tale of the couple next door who ensnares their neighbor in a tangled web of love and deception. Margaret Manners invites us to a bar for a drink and a quick little story of a con man who got what he deserved-and how the man accused of his murder walked free. And Michael Gilbert brilliant detective Gladwyn Hughes must get to the bottom of an ambassador assassinated in front of forty-five witnesses before a war breaks out in Europe over the murder. Twenty-three stories of criminals, victims, and always, always multiple choices of murder.

A Choice of Murders - Mystery Writers of America Presents: Classics, #7

Priscilla Jo Gander, daughter of the term-limited 2-time Governor "Goodie" Gander, is sexually naive, with an education derived from Southern Baptist pamphlets. Her dad sees only the ideal muppet to succeed him in title, while leaving pa in power.

Events take a number of turns as the gal, such a Pretty Thing, ventures into sexual maturity with men and women, finally marrying a man of color, and sending the established political order of her deep South homeland into chaos. Humerous work and one of the few late Olympia hardcovers.
