Event details: Joe R. Lansdale - Vanilla Ride
Description
Pine and Collins, crime fiction's most lovable miscreants (Captains Outrageous, 2001, etc.), are back in action, filling body bags for the sake of friendship. Leonard Pine, black and emphatically gay, and Hap Collins, white and aggressively heterosexual, behave like brothers... When Leonard turns up at Hap's door with a friend and a mission, he knows he'll be welcomed despite the ungodliness of the hour. Things are further complicated by the arrival of Vanilla Ride, a blue-eyed assassin who gives fresh meaning to the phrase 'killer smile.' Talented Lansdale (Leather Maiden, 2008, etc.) pens another rowdy, raunchy entertainment -- nothing to take seriously but more damn fun than a barrel of Rambos.

M is for Mystery Bookstore
'M' is for Mystery is the Bay Area's largest and most complete mystery specialty bookstore. We first opened our doors in late 1996 at 74 East Third Avenue, in the heart of the downtown walking district of San Mateo, just 15 minutes south of the San Francisco International Airport. On April 24, 2002, we moved -- just four doors down the block -- to our new store at 86 East Third. Our newly renovated store has an ample 1,700 square feet of sales floor, and an additional 500 square feet at the rear are occupied by staff work stations and the shipping/receiving department. We offer a large selection of new mystery, crime and detective fiction, as well as bestsellers, used books, first editions and other collectibles. We feature a complete children's and young adult section, which includes mysteries and much more. In addition, there are various genre-related gift items, and books-on-tape. We give store credit for used paperbacks, and we buy estates and collections. 'M' is for Mystery features an active schedule of author readings and signings, averaging over 150 such events per year. In our new, larger quarters, the bookshelves in the center aisle are on casters, for easy whisking-away at event time, when we set up seating for up to 100 people. Store Hours: Monday-Saturday: 10:30am 6pm, Sunday: 11pm-4pmPost a Countdown Widget
