Her stories often unfold with a breezy, entertaining flow, leading one to expect something fuzzy and warm. Except at its heart, her fiction has a deep emotional edge that, while it might seem at odds with the storytelling style, turns out to be perfectly suited to it, paying off her readers with rich dividends."-Charles de Lint, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

Poker: a high-stakes, deadly serious professional sport. Doc Hill knows all too well the risks involved with the sport. Or so he thinks. But when one of the greatest poker players of all time dies, the stakes rise even higher. Doc must solve an increasingly frightening series of murders-and win the biggest tournament of his career-before he finds himself forced to fold his cards for good. A fast-paced thriller that delves deep into the enticing world of high-stakes poker, Dead Money raises the risk of the political thriller to create an exciting new genre-political poker thriller. "Dean Wesley Smith does for poker what James Patterson does for serial killers." -Sheldon McArthur, former owner of Mysterious Books in Los Angeles "[An] exhilarating political poker thriller." -Midwest Book Review

The entire world convulsed in the middle of the 20th century. Everything changed-even the magical universe. From faerie to mages, from wizards to war criminals, the Second World War touched every single life. The War and After explores the effect of the Second World War on the magical world in five different stories spanning thirty years-from the 1920s as the war glimmered in the distance to the 1950s when it had just barely passed. Included are "Corpse Vision," "Dark Corners," "Subtle Interpretations," "Judgment," and "The Thrill of the Hunt." "Like early Ray Bradbury, Rusch has the ability to switch on a universal dark." -the London Times

When Robert Cooper first sees Nathalie Renard, he finds himself drawn to her. She seems ethereal, magical. And when he finally meets her, he finds her even more beguiling. But Robert has a job to do, and Nathalie seems the best candidate from the Paris Telephone Exchange to hire as a translator. As the Allied governments move forward with their plan to put the surviving Nazis on trial, however, Nathalie's view of justice begins to worry Robert. Can he trust her to do the job? Or is her reason for taking it in the first place darker than he imagines? "Rusch excels at the novella length and this is no exception. The genre element is in many ways a small part of this story. It is more a viewing of a very important time in world history, with fantastic overtones. It questions whether the lawful method of jurisprudence is either hopeful or self-serving." -Tangent Online "Intense, morally ambiguous, and really cool. Check it out!" -Michele Lang, author of Lady Lazarus
