IN THIS SECTION, I hope to tell you what's available now, and on deck. Available now is Richard Stark's latest, Breakout, with an excerpt here on this site. In the spring, Westake returns with Money for Nothing, a book I like enough to put the first chapter on the site early.

High Adventure, originally published in 1985, is here and likely to stay a while, because it's my first dip into on-demand publishing, from Mystery Vault. Tell them you want the book, they'll print it and send it to you. One of the friendlier advances brought to us by technology.
