My
name is Ruby. I live with Barbara and Mick. They're not my real parents, but
they tell me what to do, and what to say. I'm supposed to say that the bruises
on my arms and the black eye came from falling down the stairs. But there are
things I won't say. I won't tell them I'm going to hunt for my real parents. I
don't say a word about Shadow, who sits on the stairs, or the Wasp Lady I saw
on the way to bed. I did tell Mick that I saw the woman in the buttercup dress,
hanging upside down from her seat belt deep in the forest at the back of our
house. I told him I saw death crawl out of her. He said he'd give me a medal
for lying. I wasn't lying. I'm a hunter for lost souls and I'm going to be with
my real family. And I'm not going to let Mick stop me. The Doll Funeral is by Kate Hamer.

In
New Orleans, Texas Ranger John Q is out of his jurisdiction, and possibly out
of his depth. It seems everyone in Louisiana wants to send him home, and every

knows it, he looks the only link between a series of murders. So who could be
trying to set him up, and why, and who can he turn to in a city where Southern
tradition and family ties rule? Infused with the rhythms of its iconic setting,
The Contract is by J M Gulvin.
