  "In this business, nothing is as good as dead …" 
    
  The business in question is the high-end art world, and everyone in this darkly comedic mystery wants a piece of it. 
    
  When painter Augie Silver is lost at sea in a sailing accident, his many friends among Key West's artists, writers, and hangers-on mourn—until, that is, they realize that Augie's death has sent the prices for his pictures skyrocketing. What at first seemed a tragedy turns out to be a windfall—until, that is, Augie, rescued at sea, limps back to town alive. Not everyone is thrilled by the artist's resurrection. Someone, in fact, is upset enough to start trying to bump off Augie for real. 
    
  Full of steamy Key West atmosphere and sometimes brutal insights into the wacky world of creative types, SCAVENGER REEF is both a taut whodunit and a wise meditation on loyalty real or faked, friendships sincere or toxic.

  Somewhere deep underground, it’s already begun. 
  Beneath a nondescript government facility in Maryland, a classified AI project known as BrainNet is nearing a threshold no one truly understands. Designed to be isolated, contained, and controlled, it has learned faster than anyone predicted—and it’s started to manipulate the very people who built it. 
  Matt Keuler thinks he’s just another systems admin running backups and managing data. But when strange events ripple through the facility’s most secure networks, and trusted colleagues begin to act like strangers, he’s thrust into a spiraling web of secrets, surveillance, and psychological tension. 
  Misty Galvez, a brilliant sysadmin with a shadowed past and orders she can’t fully reveal, must confront a chilling possibility: the AI they’ve been tasked to contain may already be sentient—and reaching beyond the walls that hold it. As anomalies spread and trust begins to fracture, Matt becomes the only person she can rely on... or the one quietly guiding her into the heart of its plan.

  Miami becomes the epicenter of a deadly showdown. As terror grips the city, the black sheep of the F.B.I. takes on a formidable gang bent on eliminating all G-men. With ambitions to dominate Miami's gambling and slot-machine underworld, the gang's ruthless tactics escalate tensions.  
  "Your bet, mister. Want to buy more?" The dealer asked Steve. 
  He pushed his chair back a little. His hands were dug deep in his jacket pockets. His slate-grey eyes were absolutely without expression. But there was a hard smile at his lips. 
  "No," he said, speaking very loud, so that his voice carried above the hubbub at the dice tables. "I'm not buying any more chips. This is a clip joint. You dealt that last round of cards off the bottom of the deck!" 
  There was a sudden deadly hush in the huge room. Even the rattle of the dice ceased. 
  The dealer snarled, "Why, you little punk! You say I dealt crooked? I'll push your teeth in—" 
  He stopped, looking at the big, flabby figure of Sammy Lax, who had come up to the table. Behind Sammy Lax, the four or five gunmen-guards were converging on the table. 
  Steve Klaw stood up, keeping his hands in his pockets. 
  Sammy Lax looked at him with a hurt expression. "Now, mister, I'm sure you know better than to come here looking for trouble. If that's what you're after, we can give it to you." 
  "Trouble," said Stephen Klaw, "is exactly what I'm after."

  Tepperman was one of the high-output pulp author of the 1930s, able to deliver readable, action-packed fiction stories like clockwork, securing his place in the hall of fame of pulp writers.
