Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A scintillating, action-packed anthology of crime throughout history.Soldier of DiscontentWhen the mayor of a turn-of-the-century logging town investigates an arson blamed on an IWW agitator, she risks becoming a target herself as she uncovers a desperate scheme of seduction, revenge, and murder. The Horns of HathorThe Pharaoh Akhenaten has just decreed that in place of Hathor, Isis, and all the other traditional gods of Egypt, only one divinity shall now be worshipped - him.

The approaching clash promises to be - cosmic.Angry AngelIn turn-of-the-century San Francisco, Donaldina Cameron earned the name 'the Chinatown Angel' for her daring rescues of Chinese girls forced into prostitution. To the tongs and brothel owners, however, she became Fahn Quai - the White Devil. They placed a price on her head, and made several attempts to collect it with bullets and dynamite.Now Donaldina journeys to Seattle's ill-famed Restricted District to rescue another girl. Here she must recruit the help of a hard-bitten labor organizer, for the brothel they mean to invade is guarded by the tongs, the police, and a kung-fu killer.…
