Earl Emerson first won acclaim for his
Thomas Black series of mysteries ( The
Rainy City, Poverty Bay, Nervous Laughter,
Fat Tuesday and Deviant Behavior)Critics
said they were "taut and vivid" (Los
Angeles Times), "intriguing and fast-
paced" (New York Daily News). and
called Emerson "one of the best of the
new private--eye novelists" (Chicago Sun-
Times).
In 1988 Emerson introduced a new
hero--firefighting detective Mac Fon-
tana in Black Hearts and Slow Dancing.
Library Journal raved that the book was
"easily as good as Elmore Leonard s
Glitz," and The New York Times called it
"an expert, readable job, with a likable
hero," and picked it as one of the notable
mysteries of the year.
Help Wanted: Orphans Preferred is Mac
Fontana s eagerly awaited second out-
ing an exciting mix of firefighting,
action, suspense, and murder.
The trouble begins when one of Fon-
tana s men dies unexpectedly at the sta-
tion house. A preliminary invesngation
reveals the cause of death to be rat poison.
It seems someone was trying to offStair-
case s fire department by poisoning
lunch, and the victim was unlucky
enough to sneak a bite before sit-down.
