Huntington Beach, CA, USA: Cahill Publishing, 1995. First Edition. Signed & numbered by John Dunning. John Dunning (1942–2023) was an American writer of non-fiction and detective fiction. Dunning’s dark humor, poetic prose, and erudite nature made him a writer that, even if you werent a fan of the detective genre, was thoroughly enjoyable and compelling to read.

Today’s curation, “Deadline” (1995), follows reporter Dalton Walker in the wake of a circus tent fire that has claimed the life of a young girl while juggling a second story about a young Amish woman who left her home to become a dancer in the Big Apple.
