Summary

An actor stabbed and shoved off a balcony to his death. A haunted wild west stunt show. And murder... murder... murder.
 
Nod Blake, the cynical, wise-cracking private eye is back. An aging throwback to a bygone era of detecting on the mean streets, he's a dinosaur of a private eye who never got the memo he was extinct.
 
Once again, Blake has been dumped in the midst of murder most foul. He is psychically besieged by victims, begging him from beyond the grave to solve their murders. In the real world, he's flummoxed by vandals, an anonymous blackmailer and death-defying stunt men - and hounded by a homicide detective happy to pin the killings on him.
 
It's an all new murder mystery with a sly sense of humor, set in 1979 Chicago where a maniacal killer riding free on the range... is the good news. The third book in Doug Lamoreux's Nod Blake Mysteries series, MURDER CAN BE A MISTAKE contains grim murder and outrageous laughs, peppered with adult themes and language.
Available since: 10/10/2024.
Print length: 364 pages.

    Mysterious socialite Dorian Gray is at the centre of Sherlock Holmes’ latest investigation in this astonishing, uncanny mash-up of Victorian mystery and horror 
 
1903 
 
Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson have tickets to the newly arrived Egyptian Circus. Holmes is puzzled by his brother Mycroft’s cryptic gift but is intrigued enough to attend the next production. 
 
The performers, dressed as wondrous half-animal, half-human gods from Egyptian mythology, display superhuman agility and stunts. But they speak no Arabic, sequester themselves in the stables after each show and take orders from a mysterious ring master who is yet to be seen. And then one of the performers is murdered. 
 
Holmes’s enquires lead him to Montebank Manor, the home of the beautiful and secretive socialite Dorian Gray. As Holmes digs deeper, he learns Gray is hiding much more than his involvement in a murder. It’s a darkly fantastical tale of lies, experimentation, hypnosis and wicked ambition.
