Though long out of print, these books have not lacked for admirers over the years. Sleep With Strangers (1955) and Sleep With Slander (1960) Hitchens fans may be interested to know that all four novels were originally published under her own name as has been noted previously, the author’s regular use of pseudonyms makes her bibliography unusually complicated. Sleep With Strangers (1955) and Sleep With Slander (1960) both feature California private eye Jim Sader, while Nets to Catch the Wind (1952) and The Watcher (1959) are standalone mysteries. The last novel in the Women Crime Writers anthology, Fools’ Gold (1958) has been singled out for particular praise by reviewers-in the New York Times Book Review, for instance, Val McDermid called it “a great finale to the collection.” The four e-book reissues date from the same period of Hitchens’s career that yielded Fools’ Gold, during which she regularly turned out a novel or two a year. The Library of America is releasing four out-of-print novels by Fools’ Gold author Dolores Hitchens in new e-book editions available from all major e-book retailers. Women Crime Writers: Dolores Hitchens resurgence continues with four new e-books Nets to Catch the Wind (1952) and The Watcher (1959)įans of the new two-volume LOA set Women Crime Writers of the 1940s & 50s who have found themselves adrift after finishing all eight novels in the collection are in for some good news today.
