Lee Killough Lee
Killough has spent most of her physical life in Kansas...except for
an interesting stay in Washington DC during the hippie era at the
end of the 70's...but due to discovering science fiction at age
eleven, in her imagination she has lived all over the Galaxy. She
began storytelling about age four, making up her own bedtime
stories. Mostly about cowboys and horses. Once she discovered the SF
and Mystery sections of the library, however, the stories became SF
and mystery. With a preference in mysteries for police procedurals,
thanks to the influence of TV shows like Dragnet, Highway
Patrol,
Naked City, and M-Squad. She also began writing the stories
down...and in 1970 published her first short story "Caveat
Emptor" in Analog magazine. Her short story "Symphony For
a Lost Traveler" received a Hugo Award nomination in 1985. Her
first novel, A Voice Out of Ramah, came out in 1979. While she began
by publishing science fiction, her work has evolved into a
combination of SF or the supernatural and her other favorite genre,
mystery...producing stories about future cops, space going cops,
vampire cops, werewolf cops, and ghost cops.

Killer Karma
Meisha Merlin Publications
ISBN 1-59222-006-1
Finding himself in a parking garage with no memory except of his
murder is just the start of Inspector Cole Dunavan’s troubles.
Even after he remembers who he is and accepts that he’s a ghost,
Cole has no idea why he's become a ghost. He senses there's
more to it than his murder. Worse, he has no idea how to be a ghost.
It doesn't come with instructions. No one sees or hears him. He
can't move objects. And initially, he can't even walk through doors
or walls. He learns to his horror that his body has not been found
and the circumstances of his disappearance make it appear he
betrayed his marriage and killed his lover. He struggles with
learning to communicate, proving the truth about his death so he can
clear his and the woman's names, and preventing another possible
murder. Along the way, however, Cole also discovers that haunting
can be fun.

before humans’ racial memory of her kind awakens. Her second
problem is her new, human partner Zane Kerr. Allison’s secretive
conduct of the case disturbs him, and when the description of a
woman seen with the victim matches a number of Allison’s
relatives, even Allison herself, he has to wonder if she is trying
to protect, not catch, the killer. If he learns the truth, Allison
may have to turn killer herself to protect her people.

Bridling Chaos
Meisha Merlin Publications
This is a 3-in-1 omnibus reprint of three mystery/sf
novels...Doppelganger Gambit, Spider Play, and Dragon’s teeth.
When Janna Brill’s partner emigrated to a colony world, she never
expected her new partner to be the flamboyant, oddball
"Mama" Maxwell. A partner like this could ruin her career,
or get her killed, as they investigate three baffling cases: an
apparent suicide Mama believes is a murder, except the suspect has
an ironclad alibi; a vandalized hearse and corpse that lead to
smuggling and murder aboard a space station; and thefts and murder
committed by a gang that penetrates and escapes at will through what
should be impregnable security surrounding political fund-raisers.
