This is Murder
by Erle Stanley Gardner[from the back cover] ""LOOK OUT!" SHE SCREAMED. "HE HAS A GUN." Sam Moraine covered space in swift strides. His left hand caught Hartwell by his necktie. Hartwell stared into Moraine's eyes, saw Moraine's bunched knuckles. "I'm not shooting," he said. "What do you want?" said Moraine: "I want to know about my wife!" Accused by Ann Hartwell's husband of being her lover, Sam Moraine laughed it off. Accused by police of killing Peter Dixon and clubbing Ann to death, he no longer thought it funny. He knew someone had picked him for a sucker because of one little detail. That little detail is a typical Erle Stanley Gardner touch. You may guess it before the last chapter, but as in every story by the master of modern mystery writers, the odds are all against you."

This is our Story
by Ashley ElstonNo one knows what happened that morning at River Point. Five boys went hunting. Four came back. The boys won't say who fired the shot that killed their friend, Grant; the evidence shows it could have been any one of them. Kate Marino's senior year internship at the District Attorney's Office isn't exactly glamorous—more like an excuse to leave school early that looks good on college applications. Then the DA hands her boss, Mr. Stone, the biggest case her small town of Belle Terre has ever seen. The River Point Boys are all anyone can talk about. Despite their damning toxicology reports the morning of the accident, the DA wants the boys' case swept under the rug. He owes his political office to their powerful families. Kate won't let that happen. Digging up secrets without revealing her own is a dangerous line to walk; Kate has personal reasons for seeking justice for Grant. As she investigates with Stone—the aging prosecutor relying on Kate to see and hear what he cannot—she realizes that nothing about the case—or the boys—is what it seems. Grant wasn't who she thought he was, and neither is Stone's prime suspect. As Kate gets dangerously close to the truth, it becomes clear that the early morning accident might not have been an accident at all—and if Kate doesn't uncover the true killer, more than one life could be on the line…including her own.
