Kevin Dangler is a once-famous author desperate to regain his lost glory while traveling the back-roads of middle America, selling remaindered, fifth-editions of his first book out of the trunk of his car. Along the way he meets his ultimate fan…who might be his salvation…or perhaps a novel way to die.

This story was an Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine Readers Choice Award finalist and has previously appeared in the anthologies Three Ways to Die and Top Suspense.

BONUS FEATURE: The story contains a link to a free, streaming video of the acclaimed movie version of  Remaindered, written & directed by Lee Goldberg.

Lauren Blaine is on the run…fleeing across the country, pursued by a pack of ruthless, skilled, and psychopathic killers.

That’s because she’s dumped her husband and he hasn’t taken it well.

Of course, he might have taken it better if he wasn’t a major drug dealer with a gale-force temper… and if she hadn’t run off with all of his cash.

Now she’s marked-for-death, a moving target for every mercenary, hitman, and sadist in the midwest.

What they don’t know is that Lauren is nobody’s victim… she’s a resourceful, brave, and cunning woman who won’t go down without a fight.

This is 10,000 words of non-stop action, violence and sex…a wild ride like nothing else you’ve read before…from twelve masters of suspense, who teamed up to write this rollicking story 250 rapid-fire words at a time, tag-team style, without an outline, without knowing what was coming next. The result is a pure, literary adrenaline rush.

(Part 1 of Die, Lover, Die! was previously published in Top Suspense: 13 Classic Stories by 12 Masters of the Genre).

The final, pulse-pounding book in the bloody, action-packed Jury Series. Brett Macklin faces his greatest adversary yet—a ruthless, professional hit woman, seductress and master of disguise who launches a campaign of terror and bloodshed against him, pushing the vigilante to the emotional and physical breaking point, unleashing a bloody killstorm on the L.A. streets.

This is the fourth and final book in the series, never before published in print, caught up in the bankruptcy of Pinnacle Books, the original publisher. For decades, it was considered “lost” and coveted by fans of the men’s action adventure genre…before it was finally found and, at long last, published as an ebook.

“Guilty is a brutal meditation on the cost of seeking justice in an ultimately unjust world. It’s easy to imagine Goldberg grinning to himself as he penned some of this stuff, wholly anticipating the shocks it would cause his readers—shocks they were looking for, of course. Heroic fiction that appeals to the sorts of blood and guts we might expect from the men’s adventure school, this time served alongside themes of guilt and consequences. It is an effective end to the series, though it leaves the door open for another book.” Considering Stories Blog

“Goldberg holds nothing back in this one, that’s for sure. Bodies pile up real quickly, proving Macklin is not one to screw with.” —Bruce Grossman, Bookgasm

The third, red-hot book in the action-packed Jury Series saga. A sadist with a hunger for victims is stalking the streets of Los Angeles—leaving a trail of destruction which threatens to engulf the city in racial violence. And he’s calling himself…Mr. Jury.

Now vigilante Brett Macklin, the real Mr. Jury, is hitting the killing ground with just seventy hours to hunt down the deadly impostor and clear his name.

All he has to do is take on an army of fanatical white supremacists, stop a news-hungry reporter from digging too deep into his past, and save a tough black cop from being buried alive. Time and luck are running out.

“Lee Goldberg spins a lean and mean tale of vigilante justice with his third entry in the action packed The Jury series. Despite being written several decades ago when Goldberg was a college student, the prose is sanded like the best hardboiled material from days past. It’s a sleek crime thriller with a racing heartbeat, a tale told with attentiveness to driving pace and character.” Considering Stories

“Goldberg is today a very popular novelist and screenwriter, but as a college sophomore, he had already demonstrated a knack for telling a crackling action story in a lean manner. The concept is a good one, and the sex and violence levels are appropriately gruesome.” Johnny LaRue’s Crane Shot

(Originally published as the third book in the “.357 Vigilante” series under the pen name Ian Ludlow)

The second, action-packed book in The Jury Series saga. After a family tragedy, Brett Macklin has sworn to take the law into his own hands and make the guilty pay. This time, Macklin’s target is Wesley Saputo, porn kingpin and murderer, who has slipped through the courts time after time, only to kidnap, rape and kill again…and again. Macklin’s mission: locate and destroy Saputo before he finds another innocent life to destroy.

“Top-shelf 80’s adventure fiction. The Mr. Jury books are probably about the most fun you can have doing so vicarious vigilanting. There’s a reason Goldberg is still a successful author. There’s plenty of smooth and fast action that builds to a nice high-energy “action-movie” finale, colorful characters, some Hollywood in-jokes, different ways to use ice cream and a lot of fun banter.” Bloody Spicy Books Blog 

“The second installment in the sexy, violent, and thrilling The Jury series. The writing style is clear and concise, giving us a front row seat at an action movie for the mind’s eye. While fans of his police procedurals (e.g., the superlative Malibu Burning and the gritty Lost Hills) might find themselves somewhat shocked by the material, the storytelling remains true to Goldberg’s later styles. There’s humor, there are people worth cheering for, and villains we want to see taken down. Not a bad time, all told.” Considering Stories Blog

Judgment is the classic action/adventure novel that was a runaway paperback sensation in the 1980s…and that skyrocketed the career of Lee Goldberg…

Brett Macklin was a freewheeling son of sunny California, a collector of vintage cars and a connoisseur of beautiful women. But when his father is murdered by a street gang, Macklin becomes something else—a deadly weapon against crime, a relentless vigilante who won’t stop until he’s wiped out the killers who have turned Los Angeles into a war zone.

“As stunning as the report of a .357 Magnum, a dynamic premiere effort […] The Best New Paperback Series of the year!” West Coast Review of Books

“This is straight-up men’s adventure material {…] So look out, folks! Here comes justice with a big freaking gun!” Bruce Grossman, Bookgasm

“Judgment  has an amped-up, neon-bright,’burning rubber down the main drag doing sixty while blaring Motley Crue so loud you can’t even think’ sort of quality. And that’s how I like it.” —Post-Modern Pulps

“Judgment is the first volume of Goldberg’s rechristened The Jury series, written with a cinematic sensibility, a television scenarist’s pacing, and a good sense for its characters as flawed beings.” Considering Stories Blog

Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg have teamed up for a dynamic new series featuring an FBI agent who’s on the hunt—and a master con artist who’s enjoying the chase. The con is on in this eBook original short story that’s a triumphant prequel to The Heist.

FBI special agent Kate O’Hare has made it her mission to nail international con artist Nicolas Fox. When she discovers his plot to plunder a venture capitalist’s twentieth-story Chicago penthouse of all its cash and treasures at the same time that the self-proclaimed King of Hostile Takeovers is getting married, Kate is 85 percent—okay maybe 92 percent—sure that she’s finally going to bag Nick Fox.

Problem is, first Kate has to convince her boss, building security, and maybe even herself, that wedding planner Merrill Stubing is actually Nicolas Fox. Second, she has to figure out how to corner and capture him without disrupting the event of the year. And third, what’s going to happen once O’Hare finally gets her hands on Fox? It’s going take a pro to catch a con before the fireworks over Lake Michigan go off.

Includes a sneak peek of The Heist, the first novel in the highly anticipated new series from Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg!

From Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum novels, and Lee Goldberg, bestselling author and television writer for Monk, comes the first adventure in an electrifying new series featuring an FBI agent who always gets her man, and a fearless con artist who lives for the chase.

FBI Special Agent Kate O’Hare is known for her fierce dedication and discipline on the job, chasing down the world’s most wanted criminals and putting them behind bars. Her boss thinks she is tenacious and ambitious; her friends think she is tough, stubborn, and maybe even a bit obsessed. And while Kate has made quite a name for herself for the past five years the only name she’s cared about is that of Nicolas Fox—an international crook she wants in more ways than one.

Audacious, handsome, and dangerously charming, Nicolas Fox is a natural con man, notorious for running elaborate scams on very high-profile people. At first he did it for the money. Now he does it for the thrill. He knows that the FBI has been hot on his trail—particularly Kate O’Hare, who has been watching his every move. For Nick, there’s no greater rush than being pursued by a beautiful woman . . . even one who aims to lock him up. But just when it seems that Nicolas Fox has been captured for good, he pulls off his greatest con of all: He convinces the FBI to offer him a job, working side by side with Special Agent Kate O’Hare.

Problem is, teaming up to stop a corrupt investment banker who’s hiding on a private island in Indonesia is going to test O’Hare’s patience and Fox’s skill. Not to mention the skills of their ragtag team made up of flamboyant actors, wanted wheelmen, and Kate’s dad. High-speed chases, pirates, and Toblerone bars are all in a day’s work . . . if O’Hare and Fox don’t kill each other first.

The eighth and final book in the Diagnosis Murder series pits Dr. Mark Sloan against Carter Sweeney, his most formidable adversary, the man responsible for blowing up Community General Hospital several years ago.

Los Angeles is a city in turmoil. The D.A. and Police Chief are engaged in a brutal race to become the new Mayor, there’s a gang war erupting on the streets, a West Nile virus outbreak, and Sweeney’s high-powered lawyers are mounting a last-ditch appeal of his conviction. Mark is right in middle of it all…but even he can’t forsee the shocking way these events will converge in a deadly conspiracy that will change his life forever…
