BLACK DAGGER PRESS
It always seems a bit strange to find formerly-out-of-print books in the "New" Fiction section. They aren't really new anymore, but they might be classics of their kind, brought out in a new edition for new readers to discover. One of the publishers that does this regularly is Black Dagger Press, a subsidiary of Chivers' Publishing, mostly printing mysteries and suspense novels from British and American writers. Several prominent mystery writers (i.e., Marian Babson and Peter Lovesey) are on the selection committee and only a few books are re-printed each year. Some of authors include Josephine Bell, John Creasy, Elizabeth Ferrars, Catherine Aird, Georgette Heyer, Mignon Eberhart, Margaret Yorke, Dorothy Eden, Anthea Fraser, Joan Aiken, Ross MacDonald, Andrew Garve, and, of course, Babson and Lovesey as well. Among the newest ones we've received here at Elk Grove are:
Shadows in their Blood by Marian Babson--Trixie and Evangeline, former film stars, find murder while making a vampire movie
Reel Murder by Marian Babson--Trixie and Evangeline help investigate the murders of several roomers in their London residence

Mischief by Charlotte Armstrong--psycho babysitter nearly kills pre-teen charge; basis for Marilyn Monroe film Don't Bother to Knock
