The Kira Brightwell Starter Collection

Jacquelyn Smith

Sinopsis

Kira Brightwell enjoys two things—outsmarting bad guys and kicking ass.

Well, that and listening to Nine Inch Nails. (Bonus, if she can manage all three at once.)

She never expected anyone to call her a hero... But when life throws a punch, Kira always finds a way to hit back.

This fast-paced starter collection includes the first three novels from the Kira Brightwell mystery series by the author of the Mackenzie Quinn mysteries, Jacquelyn Smith. (Originally published under the pen name Kat Irwin.):

Split Decision (Kira Brightwell Book 1)
Black and Blue (Kira Brightwell Book 2)
Low Blow (Kira Brightwell Book 3)

Split Decision (Kira Brightwell Book 1)

Kira Brightwell never planned to become a private detective. Or a local hero, for that matter.

She only wants to hone her MMA skills. And focus on her own personal need for vengeance and closure. While listening to Nine Inch Nails.

But people call Kira a hero for a reason. She never walks away from trouble.

And between her wits and her fists, she can take down just about anything that gets thrown her way.

Meet Kira in action in this first novel in the Kira Brightwell mystery series. If you love a clever heroine who kicks ass, grab this book.

Black and Blue (Kira Brightwell Book 2)

Kira Brightwell hates to lose—in the MMA cage or outside of it. But her failure to capture the serial abductor known as the Procurer rankles most of all.

Four months. Four months spent obsessing over the last time he slipped through her fingers with nothing to show for it.

Time to move on—at least for the moment. (For her own sanity, if nothing else.)

...Easier said than done.

This fast-paced, suspenseful novel pushes Kira deeper into uncharted territory as a problem solver for hire, with dangerous consequences. Follow the path of a clever heroine’s obsession in this second book from the Kira Brightwell mystery series.

Low Blow (Kira Brightwell Book 3)

Kira Brightwell knows how to take a punch. (Actually, she prefers throwing them.)

Abduction, theft, murder… She faces all these crimes and more on her own terms as a private detective for hire.

She also searches for any clues that might fulfill her quest for vengeance against the man known only as the Procurer.

...But a recent twist in circumstances leaves her rocked.

The growing legend of abduction survivor and local hero Kira Brightwell takes an unexpected turn in this third novel in the Kira Brightwell mystery series.

Tommy Dash: Was It Everything I...

Bill Scheft

Tommy Dash, an unapologetic 60-year-old scuffling LA stand-up comedian, is trying to apologize his way back into show business, one burnt bridge and one more last chance at a time, during the last days of Pre-Trump America. Think Lewis Black, but a little angrier. Think Sam Kinison on a coke budget. Think Bill Maher, without the cable filter. Think Amy Schumer, with a slightly smaller set of balls. Think Samsonite, but with less baggage. A lot of people are waiting for their apology. Ex-wives, daughters, soon-to-be former girlfriends and three generations of fellow comics, celebrities and industry people along the redemptive path. But here's the thing with Tommy Dash. Before you may or may not get a sorry, you get a story. And as Tommy will tell you, he is in it for the stories. And so are we. Despite lovingly referring to himself as a Category 4 shitstorm, we root for him and his emerging heart. We want to hear about the wreckage, sure, but we keep hoping he'll land safely. (Cover art: JoAnna Perrin) Vintage Scheft! I loved it, but that's a given.... - Larry David (Dedicated to the late Nikki Finke, Tommy Dash's first and most steadfast friend)

Gorgias

Plato

This dialogue brings Socrates face to face with the famous sophist Gorgias and his followers. It is a work likely completed around the time of "Republic" and illuminates many of the spiritual ideas of Plato. The spirituality, as Jowett points out in his wonderful introduction, has many ideas akin to Christianity, but is more generous as it reserves damnation only for the tyrants of the world. Some of the truths of Socrates, as presented by Plato, shine forth in this wonderful work on sophistry and other forms of persuasion or cookery. (Summary by Kevin Johnson)
