Case File #123

I had tailed Mrs. Mullray to the City of Books, a top notch kind of a joint just about a hundred miles south of nowhere. It had been raining pretty hard that night but I didn't need to use the brights or the wipers to keep tabs on her. You just had to follow all the turned heads.

Mr. Mullray had told me that his wife liked mysteries and sure enough I found her stalking through the section, picking up paperback after paperback, her face awash in the glow of a thousand mass markets. She was stacked like a first edition and I expected her taste in mysteries to run the same, only the cash register kept ringing up a dollar so that I knew she got her kicks the old fashioned way; fast and on the cheap. I paid the clerk Mrs. Mullray's tab, grabbed the books and her hand and left Powell's with an entire new outlook on the world. No more nights alone. No more empty bookshelf.

You don't have to be Sam Spade to have a similar experience here at Powell's. With our new mystery dollar section here on Hawthorne you can fill your shelves up with a great collection of mass market mysteries all at the amazing price of one dollar. That's right, for less than a price of a cup of joe you can find out who murdered Joe and why. But wait! What exactly are these books? Who wrote them? What do the covers look like? Well, see, that's the mystery part. Kind of a 'grab bag surprise' kind of thing. But trust us! They're only a buck each. Put one (or...ten?) in your shopping cart and place your order, and the Sherlocks at our Hawthorne store will pick out exactly the right book for you. It might show signs of having been well loved (and read) through the years, and you may have never ever heard of the author, but trust us — it will be well worth a dollar!
