Bookish: MURKY MYSTERIES (2#) -

# Clayton Moore's July Mystery Strumpet:

"At least I know there will always be detectives in the future... People will always need to know things that other people want to keep secret. It’s a guaranteed gig... You can count on people to do bad things."

He covers William Gibson's new
book, Spook Country, and a few others.

# From the Dark & Stormy Dept . . .

The winner in the Detective category of this year's Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest is Bob Millar from Sweden with this entry:

"I’d been tailing this guy for over an hour while he tried every trick in the book to lose me: going down side streets, doubling back, suddenly veering into shop doorways, jumping out again, crossing the street, looking for somewhere to make the drop, and I was going to be there when he did it because his disguise as a postman didn’t have me fooled for a minute."

And you can find the rest here.
