<div>A drug dealer turned informant navigates New York&rsquo;s underworld in a tale that &ldquo;maintains tension&rdquo; from an Edgar Award finalist (The New York Times Book Review). A twenty-nine-year-old Italian immigrant, Tony Farrell has all the trappings of success: custom threads, an imported roadster, an apartment in an elegant duplex on Manhattan&rsquo;s Upper East Side, and a devoted girlfriend and business partner, Liz, who thinks she&rsquo;s nabbed her own Al Pacino. On the downside, their little First Avenue bistro, Anthony&rsquo;s, is in the red . . . until Tony agrees to pay his debts to a Mob loan shark the only way he can&mdash;turning his beloved restaurant into a hot spot for the drug trade. It&rsquo;s a move that will lead to Tony&rsquo;s undoing. Busted by undercover cops, Tony&rsquo;s only hope is to become an informant for an FBI task force. The plan is to help them catch a powerful Haitian drug lord known as the Giant, who&rsquo;s importing raw coke from South America via American cruise lines. But this fresh new nightmare won&rsquo;t consume just Tony; it&rsquo;s about to trap everyone he knows&mdash;lovers and enemies. And making it out alive isn&rsquo;t going to be easy because, when the world gets this dark, it&rsquo;s impossible to know who to trust or where to run. Edward Keyes&rsquo;s true-crime book The Michigan Murders was named an Edgar Award finalist. In Double Dare, he presents the gripping tale of a man caught between the Mafia and law enforcement in a novel praised by Robin Moore, author of The French Connection, as &ldquo;the most suspenseful, fast-moving police story of its genre [he&rsquo;s] ever read.&rdquo; </div>

<div>Edgar Award Finalist: The true story of a serial killer who terrorized a midwestern town in the era of free love&mdash;by the coauthor of The French Connection. In 1967, during the time of peace, free love, and hitchhiking, nineteen-year-old Mary Terese Fleszar was last seen alive walking home to her apartment in Ypsilanti, Michigan. One month later, her naked body&mdash;stabbed over thirty times and missing both feet and a forearm&mdash;was discovered, partially buried, on an abandoned farm. A year later, the body of twenty-year-old Joan Schell was found, similarly violated. Southeastern Michigan was terrorized by something it had never experienced before: a serial killer. Over the next two years, five more bodies were uncovered around Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Michigan. All the victims were tortured and mutilated. All were female students. After multiple failed investigations, a chance sighting finally led to a suspect. On the surface, John Norman Collins was an all-American boy&mdash;a fraternity member studying elementary education at Eastern Michigan University. But Collins wasn&rsquo;t all that he seemed. His female friends described him as aggressive and short tempered. And in August 1970, Collins, the &ldquo;Ypsilanti Ripper,&rdquo; was arrested, found guilty, and sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole. Written by the coauthor of The French Connection, The Michigan Murders delivers a harrowing depiction of the savage murders that tormented a small midwestern town. </div>
