(This is a full-bodied, colorful account of the man histor...)
This is a full-bodied, colorful account of the man historian Walter Lord, in The Good Years. calls "the greatest legend of them all." At the turn of the century, when the automobile was a rich man's freak and paved roads were nonexistent, when a mile a minute was blazing speed, fencebusting, death-be-damned Barney Oldfield rose from the obscurity of a small Ohio farm to become an imperishable hero. To this day his name is a synonym for speed because of his daredevil exploits on the dirt tracks of America. In this book man and legend are reborn. Oldfield's whirlwind career is traced from its beginnings on the cycling cinder paths at the dawn of the motor age to its final climax following the Automotive Golden Jubilee. His history is the history of the gaudy times in which he lived, and of the giants who made it great: Henry Ford, Jack Johnson, Alexander Winton, Diamond Jim Brady, Eddie Rickenbacker, Ralph De Palma, Jim Jeffries. We blast over the dirt in the fabled cars Oldfield made famous: the Blitzen Benz, 999, Green Dragon, Winton Bullet, Killer Christie, Golden Sub. We are at Indianapolis when the storied Speedway is born; we fight with Barney for the Vanderbilt Cup; we witness the fantastic cross-country Cactus Derby; we are on the fast, sun-scorched pavement at Corona as his car hurls out of control into the trees; we whip with him over the packed sands at Daytona Beach as he becomes the first man in history to travel 131 miles per hour; we witness his hazardous duels with the doomed, crowd-hating stunt flier, Lincoln Beaches: Plane vs. Auto for the Championship of the Universe. In this exciting and extremely readable book.

(The Marble Orchard is a complex, colourful and ultimately...)
The Marble Orchard is a complex, colourful and ultimately dangerous adventure, a richly textured thriller that also celebrates the joys of love and marriage between Chandler and his exceptional wife, Cissy. The year is 1936, and Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and Erle Stanley Gardner have taken to solving crimes as amateur detectives. As narrated by Chandler, their latest adventure begins in East Los Angeles, with the discovery of what is apparently the ritual suicide of his wife's former husband in a Chinese cemetery, but was it really suicide? Following a trail of clues from the coastal splendors of the William Randolph Hearst castle to the rococo Victorian mansions of Bunker Hill, the trio of sleuths are helped, and hindered, by an odd assortment of characters like the mysterious screen star known as the Vampire Queen, a missing sister who prefers to stay missing, and an ex-stage with a penchant for using his fists, and by such real life personalities as Shirley Temple, Charlie Chaplin, Hedda Hopper, and Orson Welles.

Halloween night, 1997. Two young couples are participating in a candle-lit seance. They're giggling. Joking around.

(America's premier mystery writers--Dashiell Hammett, Raym...)
America's premier mystery writers--Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, and Erle Stanley Gardner--make a comeback in this latest suspense novel from William F. Nolan. In a vivid re-creation of Hollywood's Golden Age, Erle Stanley Gardner is accused of murder and becomes a fugitive in a desperate attempt to find the real killer. As the action sweeps from an MGM movie set to an obscure fishing village on the Gulf of California, listeners are treated to a drunken John Barrymore emoting Shakespeare, a bawdy encounter with Mae West in a steam bath, a full-throttle car chase with racing legend Barney Oldfield, and a shocking phone call from America's foremost gossipmonger, Walter Winchell. The climax is a murder trial in which Gardner, in true Perry Mason style, chooses to defend himself against the threatened death sentence.

Newly revised and expanded, this is the only book ever devoted to Barney Oldfield, the man who got his start at the turn of the century racing Ford’s 999 and winning the Manufacturers’ Challenge Cup. Barney was America’s most flamboyant race driver. He took part in countless race meets between 1902 and 1918. The machines he drove included the Winton Bullet, Peerless Green Dragon, the Blitzen Benz, and Harry Miller’s Golden Submarine. Commanding thousands of dollars for race appearances, Oldfield wore a diamond pinky ring and a sealskin coat. He raced his cars against planes and played chicken with trains, barnstormed the county fairs, brawled in saloons, and starred in films. He was the first man to go faster than a-mile-minute in a gas powered car. He set records at the dirt tracks and on the beach, raced the road courses and circled the banked board and brick tracks with the fastest of the era. This new edition has been fully redesigned and re-illustrated, featuring 114 illustrations. An extensive bibliography, appendices of race results, and a seven page index complete this definitive book on America’s turn-of-the-century motor sport legend.
