Death is a Fumbler begins with the belated honeymoon of John Holmes and Samantha Johnson. They are in New York City staying with a friend. Meanwhile, in Kansas City, the Detective Agency is involved in five separate cases, the most dangerous case revolving around the murders of several men with similar names. One victim happens to be Doctor Ron Cassiday, friend and physician of Holmes and Samantha Johnson. A second case concerns sabotage at the Overly Leather Plant. Case three causes detective St. Giles a great deal of discomfort, but unknown to him, he meets his future wife. The fourth entangles the agency in the activities of a gang of dog-nappers and a stolen seeing eye dog named Raji. And the fourth involves the murder of a young girl in a Kansas City Park and in the investigation, the detectives run head-long into a complicated mess. The good news is that new babies are born, a wedding is planned, and best of all, Samantha and Holmes are expecting their first baby.

They took on a more foreboding character during the Cold War, serving as a warning to mankind with the advent of the hydrogen bomb. As fears of human extinction escalated during the ecological movement of the 1970s, dinosaurs communicated their metaphorical message of extinction, urging us from our destructive path. Using an eclectic variety of examples, this book outlines the three-fold "evolution" of dinosaurs and other prehistoric monsters in pop culture, from their poorly understood beginnings to the 21st century.
Dark Places and Little Tramps collects Juri Nummelin's writings on noir, hardboiled, sleaze and other literary genres of yesteryear. The author has written extensively about genre fiction and popular culture for more than four decades, but this new volume is the first publication of his writings in English. Among many other subjects, it features a lengthy section on neo-noir and writers like Gillian Flynn, Allan Guthrie, Jason Starr and Duane Swierczynski. He also investigates British spy and crime fiction, and includes chapters on western and horror. Nummelin shines new light to many of these areas, such as the largely forgotten topic of sleaze paperbacks.
