Debra (USA: OR) (2014/03/23):
Description:
This book is a rare treat for all McBain fans, both old and new, and it's brought to you exclusively by 'Mystery Guild'. Inside are two new novellas that demonstrate the depth and range of this writer who has been hailed by 'People' magazine as "the best at what he does. Case closed." In 'Driving Lessons', it's a beautiful autumn day in the town of River Close until a student driver; out with Mr. Newell, her instructor, hits and kills a pedestrian - who turns out to be Mrs. Newell. Now Detective Katie Logan, sill reeling from her husband's recent defection, must look behind the everyday masks of those involved to learn if the collision was a freak accident - or foul play. 'Petals' is that rarest of all birds - an espionage love story. Working in 1970's Europe, American Michael Henderson has been an undercover agent so long he can hardly remember his real name. When he meets a tourist named Karin, for the first time in years he feels a flash of real emotion. But he's supposed to be hunting an assassin known as Lisa Beck...and her description fits Karin exactly.
