  When a 40th birthday bash for a rich wife gets way out of hand, she wakes up with her best friend’s husband sleeping beside her—dead. 
  
  Looking at life in a Bahamian jail for murder, she turns to Ruby for the help she desperately needs.
  
  Ruby knows what it feels like to be setup. She also knows what it’s like to be played. Is this woman telling the truth? 
  
  Which one of her rich, envious friends wanted her dead?
  
  Or was it someone else completely?
  
  But Ruby has a bad habit of helping other people when barely able to handle troubles of her own: Senator Wishbourne’s briefcase is still missing, the pressure is building, and Ruby’s running out of time.
  
  And this time won’t be any different.
  
  Welcome to the Bahamian world of your new favorite female protagonist—Ruby Steele—replete with her local dive bar, her wily pet monkey, her major drinking problem, her (way) too many fights, her inability to get herself out of trouble, and her fists made of stone. Ruby’s life is a complete wreck.
  
  But there’s one thing she’s good at: capturing your heart.

  One PI. Ten crimes. “Stylistically reminiscent of Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill. An exciting and original debut” (The Hoopla Literary Society).   A literary detective story ingeniously told in ten cases. John Dorn is a classic gumshoe. His woman has left him, he lives in his office, and he drinks too much. His one friend, a lawyer named Demetri, hands Dorn an infinite supply of hopeless cases and lost causes, to which Dorn, ever the champion of the underdog and the oppressed, is drawn to “as a sledgehammer is to a kneecap.” A superlative work of hardboiled literary detective fiction, The Midnight Promise wonderfully evokes the underbelly of contemporary Melbourne, its battlers, its hard men, its victims, and its ill-fated heroes.   “[A] powerful hard-boiled debut . . . The cases get progressively more disturbing, both in terms of their subject matter, which include gruesome torture, and their impact on Dorn, a classic world-weary narrator.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)   “Lovitt has a neat way with a yarn. . . . And just when you think he is going to stay close to a kind of downbeat realism, there is a slide into something a little thrillerish and action-packed.” —The Sydney Morning Herald   “[An] artful, Down Under nod to the hard-boiled private eyes of Chandler and Hammett.” —The Christian Science Monitor, “10 Excellent International Thrillers”   “Lovitt is sure-handed in sketching characters, and he laces Dorn’s cases with sardonic humor and prodigious bits of human frailty. . . . Fans of international crime fiction will enjoy Dorn and his milieu.” —Booklist

  A bouncer at a Utah bar takes on a killer far more frightening than his usual rowdy clientele…Jake Boulder, a tough transplanted Scotsman, makes his living throwing aggressive drunks out of a bar in Utah called the Joshua Tree. It may be a dangerous job sometimes, but it’s nothing compared to what he’s about to take on. His friend Alfonse—who also stands out a bit in this small Utah town, as a bookish, tech-savvy African-American PI—has asked for his help investigating the vicious murder of a local party girl. Soon, he finds himself tracking a serial killer who selects his next victim in a most unusual manner. As the body count rises, Boulder has to work with the police to identify the heinous killer before more lives are taken. What ensues is a twisted game of cat and mouse that either Boulder or the Watcher can survive, but not both…
