Even Money
by Dick and Felix Francis

Ned Talbot has worked all his life as a bookmaker, so he knows not to expect any sympathy from the punters as they count their winnings, and he his losses. However, as the big gambling conglomerates muscle in on small concerns like his, Ned wonders if it's worth it any more.

Shame
by Greg Garrett

Twenty years is plenty long enough for a man to mope. John Tilden's glory days are far behind him, and now it seems like all he has is the monotony of everyday living. He certainly thought there'd be more to it than his ramshackle Oklahoma farm and a mundane job coaching basketball at his old high school. Will John finally stop moping about what might have been and discover all God has given him?

Smash Cut
by Sandra Brown

The murder of Paul Wheeler has all the elements of a blockbuster: family rivalries, incalculable wealth, and a prominent man dying in the arms of his beautiful mistress. It's a case that could earn Derek Mitchell even greater star power. When the Wheeler family approaches him about defending Creighton he jumps at the chance. However, Derek soon discovers that Julie will stop at nothing to secure justice for Paul.
