According to new listings on Amazon.com, publisher Titan Books will reprint Daniel Stashower's first two Harry Houdini Mysteries, The Dime Museum Murders and The Floating Lady Murder, in February of 2012. Amazon also shows a Kindle release for Dime Museum.
First published in 1999 and 2000, the books feature a struggling Houdini, Bess, and Dash caught up in fictional murder mystery adventures before the turn of the century. Floating Lady Murder also features Harry Kellar.
I've fired off an email to Titan to see if we can get a look at the cover art, and whether they will be reprinting Stashower's third book, The Houdini Specter.
Titan recently reprinted Stashower's Houdini-Sherlock Holmes mash-up, The Ectoplasmic Man, as part of their "Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" series.
Good news. I'm reading Dime Museum Murders right now. It's great.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an intriguing series!
ReplyDeleteI read them quite a while ago, but I vaguely remember that Dash was the hero and Harry just tagged along.
