The First Annual Amateurs' Invitational Pool Tournament is about to begin in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The entry fee is a cool $5000 so this is not a game for the faint of heart. Twelve players enter and each has a compelling reason to win. As the games progress the players reveal their characters. At this level pool is a mental game in which the players compete more against themselves than against each other. And there are nasty undercurrents that infect the tournament. It all comes to a head when, on the night of the second round, John Bartlette, a wealthy magazine publisher, is brutally murdered. Lieutenant Rafe Silva and his aide, Sergeant Christine Ford, discover that almost everyone had a good reason to hate the victim. Bartlette was a cheat, a rapist, and a blackmailer. For the detectives, too many motives are as bad as too few. Not since The Huslter have we seen a novel that realistically describes the world of high roller pool. Billiards is a game of contrasts—the elegance of an exclusive men's club against the grit and grime of the corner pool hall. Everyone is a hustler on the green baize.

Christopher and His Magic Powers

By: Richard M. Koff

Christopher is 13 and often too smart for his own good. He hates school and can’t seem to stay out of trouble. On a dare he knocks on a door to a house all his friends say is haunted and meets a strange, quiet man who calls himself the Headmaster. The Headmaster starts Christopher on a series of lessons unlike anything he was taught in school. He learns how to move objects with his mind alone, how to read other people’s thoughts, he becomes invisible or shrinks to the size of a pencil. It’s not just for fun. The Headmaster has a mission for Christopher that will change his life forever.
