                           SISTERS IN CRIME

                            BOOKS-IN-PRINT

                       Compiled by Linda Grant
                            November 1991


Dear Booksellers, Librarians, and Mystery Fans:

The sinister sisters have been busy since our last edition of
BOOKS-IN-PRINT. We bring you MORE--more books, more authors, and we
hope more enjoyment. The 1991 BOOKS-IN-PRINT was just off the press
when we learned of books we'd failed to include and new books that
were scheduled for early 1992. This addendum includes all the entries
in the original 1991 BOOKS-IN-PRINT plus books by authors we missed
the first time round, books by new members, and books scheduled for
early 1992 (January through May). For most new books, short
descriptions by the authors are included. Winter is a great time to
curl up with a good book. We hope to provide you with many tantalizing
choices.

                                   Yours in Crime,

                                   Linda Grant

This is a list of books-in-print by current members of Sisters in
Crime, an international organization of over 1,400 members. The
publicity committee hopes you will share this booklet with others
interested in mystery fiction by contemporary women writers. If you
did not receive the 1991 BOOKS-IN-PRINT, please let us know so that we
can send you one. Additional copies of that booklet or this addendum
can be ordered for $1.00 each (discounts for larger orders). Requests
should be sent to:
