Summary:

Fred Bonnie's previous collection, Detecting Metal, was included in Booklist's Top of the List for 1998. We believe that you will find this collection as deserving. Bonnie is a writer who's not afraid to use plot in his stories, and he is a writer who is clearly on constant lurk for character and characters. His stories convey a delightful sense of humor wherein the protagonist is often enough hoisted by his or her own petard. These stories combine two previous Canadian-published collections, Squatter's Rights and Displaced Persons. Mr. Bonnie has revised all the stories, which will appear in America for the first time in book form.
