Description:

Rollerball Murder – the deadly game of the twenty-first century. At a signal forty players run, skate and bike for their lives around a high banked, hardwood track, dodging the careening 25-pound oval balls which scatter and maim and over 300 miles an hour.

No rules, no rest periods, no substitutes. It’s play up or die. Just two hours of brute speed and crowd-pleasing carnage viewed simultaneously the world over on multivision …

Rollerball Murder is one of thirteen tightly written, provocative and, ultimately, unforgettable stories of the past, present and the horrifying future.

The Kennel Murder Case

By S.S. Van Dine.

First published 1933.

Published by Scribner Paper Fiction

Paperback.

ISBN-10: 0684182483

ISBN-13: 978-0684182483

Description:

Vance, an independently wealthy college educator, amateur detective, uses his deductive skills and psychological knowledge to help his friend New York County Attorney solve the murder of Archer Coe. At first, he thought of suicide when Coe's body was found in a room locked from the inside with all the windows closed. As usual, the action takes place in New York. Vance's methods are unconventional and run counter to the more stringent police investigation methods and legal requirements of a lawyer.

Given all the rich people getting bumped off in Philo Vance's Manhattan, it's amazing there are enough left to support the symphony. Latest up: Arthur Coe, found dead in his own locked bedroom. Suicide? The ever-perceptive Philo doesn't buy that theory for a second. The presence in Coe's house of a strange, prize-winning terrier only adds to the mystery, although Philo's fabulously in-depth knowledge of dogs does not in fact solve the crime; his fabulously in-depth knowledge of the murder of the Empress Elizabeth of Austria in 1898 proves much more useful.

Praise for the Philo Vance series:

“With his highbrow manner and his parade of encyclopedic learning, Philo Vance is not only a detective; he is a god out of the machine.” – The New York Times.

“Well-crafted puzzlers that captivated readers . . . the works of S.S. Van Dine serve to transport the reader back to a long-gone era of society and style of writing.” – Mystery Scene.

“Outrageous cleverness . . . among the finest fruits of the Golden Age.” – Bloody Murder.

“A classic mystery featuring dogged detective Philo Vance. An intricate puzzle . . . [Vance] has an uncanny insight into the subtler aspects of crime.” – The New York Times.
