Crime Punishment and Resurrection — Michael Collins

This new collection of short fiction by Michael Collins features his famous protagonist, one-armed private eye Dan Fortune and his trademark band of malevolent characters. The scene moves from seedy streets in Little Italy to posh mansions in Santa Barbara; the characters range from a wealthy Long Island doctor and secret slumlord to an elderly Chinese man on California's death row. The collection is distinguished by the inclusion of a brand-new novella, 'Resurrection,' a riveting exploration of the aftermath of the collapse of a Jonestown-type cult.
