Dirty Looks from a Retarded Cat
The above phrase might mean something to you if you’ve already read Black Hearts and Slow Dancing. If not, it’s now available on Amazon for Kindle readers. Black Hearts and Slow Dancing is the first in the Mac Fontana mystery series and we’re quickly placing all five of them on Kindle, other e-reader formats to follow by at least this summer.
I’m quite pleased to get the Fontana books back into circulation. They were slowly allowed to go out of print by the original publisher, Morrow/Avon, after I left them in 2000 to purse stand-alone thrillers with another publisher. It was exciting to go back to the Fontana books and proofread, both exciting and curious. More about that later. I’d forgotten all the great reviews those books had achieved. Here is a sampling:
Black Hearts and Slow Dancing was named as one of the ten best mystery/thrillers of the year by The New York Times the year it came out.
“Quite simply, Earl Emerson is the best there is.” Mystery News
“Earl Emerson is quickly becoming one of the best mystery writers around.” San Pedro News-Pilot
“A first-rate thriller. . . one of the most distinctive writers among the new wave of crime novelists. . . Emerson writes crisp, no-nonsense prose, and he makes superb use of his firefighting background.” Booklist
