FIFTY-to-ONE

by
CHARLES ARDAI

Written to celebrate the publication of Hard Case Crime’s 50th book,
Fifty-to-One
imagines what it would have been like if Hard Case Crime had been founded 50 years ago, by a rascal out to make a quick buck off the popularity of pulp fiction.

A fellow like that might make a few enemies—especially after publishing a supposed non-fiction account of of a heist at a Mob-run nightclub, actually penned by an 18-year-old showgirl with dreams of writing for
The New Yorker
.

With both the cops and the crooks after them, our heroes are about to learn that reading and writing pulp novels is a lot more fun than living them…

NEVER LIE

by
RICHARD STARK

When he’s not pulling heists with his friend Parker, Alan Grofield runs a small theater in Indiana. But putting on shows is expensive and jobs have been thin, which is why Grofield agrees to listen to Andrew Myers’ plan to knock over a brewery in upstate New York.

Unfortunately, Myers’ plan is insane—so Grofield walks out on him.
But Myers isn’t a man you walk out on…
