Ravenstone Books (27)
In 1998 Turnstone Press launched an imprint of literary genre titles—Ravenstone.
Ravenstone is devoted to literary and experimental mysteries. We are interested in tightly written, well-plotted, manuscripts in the sub-genres of hardboiled, neo-noir, police procedural, private eye, suspense, and thriller. At this time we are not considering cozies or "special knowledge" manuscripts.
A Criminal to Remember
Published in Ravenstone Books Written by Michael Van Rooy

But Sherlock Holmes proves to be, for once, stubbornly reluctant to fulfill his older brother's request.
