Wilson’s seventh Benjamin Justice novel finds his crime-solving hero embroiled in a decades-old murder mystery. The town of Haunted Springs (sounds like a place Scooby-Doo and his pals might frequent) was an oasis for celebrities during the ’50s until the violent death of Tinsel Town beauty Rebecca Fox and the subsequent lynching of her accused killer, Ed Jones. Now, Hollywood comes-a-calling to Haunted Springs again, only this time they are making a movie about the crime. And, as luck would have it, Benjamin Justice is on vacation in the Springs. When a new murder occurs, it’s up to Benjamin and his brand of Justice to solve the two old murders plus the newest one before the killer can strike again!

Bernard Cooper’s latest memoir is his account of coming to terms with his father, Edward, who is succumbing to dementia and is partial to polyester jumpsuits. Cooper enlists the help of his father in trying to paint a picture of his family’s history, and stumbles across documents involving inter-family lawsuits and the titular bill from his father. It’s for the total amount of his upbringing, some $2 million dollars owed for parental services rendered. Cooper illustrates this chapter in his life with his trademarked ability for finding humor within tragedy. He has previously published two other memoirs, Truth Serum and Maps to Anywhere, the novel A Year of Rhymes and a collection of short stories entitled Guess Again.
