LOST VEGAS by Steve Brewer
Nick Papadopoulos used to be a button man for the Mob. Now he’s the front man for an aging casino in Fowler, Nevada, an isolated backwater known as "Lost Vegas." Nick’s stuck in a rut and deep in debt. Then he gets an idea: If someone would only rob his casino, he could collect on the insurance and get out from under. Tony Zinn runs a heist crew in San Francisco. He’s never even heard of Fowler, Nevada. But Nick makes him an offer that’s almost too good to be true. Neither man expects interference from rival casino owner Big Jim Kelton or his hired goon, a huge Samoan named Shamu. But once they’re involved, it can only end in bloodshed. Filled with twists and double-crosses, LOST VEGAS is Steve Brewer at his best.
FENDER BENDERS by Bill Fitzhugh
Eddie Long plans to be a country music star but he’s stuck touring the college frat circuit. But after his nagging wife apparently dies at the hands of a serial killer, Eddie writes the best song of his life and it goes straight to number one. Eddie’s friend, freelance writer Jimmy Rogers, senses a great opportunity and sets out to write the life story of Nashville’s newest sensation. But Jimmy’s research unearths some troubling facts about the death of Eddie’s wife, facts that could ruin Eddie’s burgeoning career—while making Jimmy a star of the publishing world. Throw in a beautiful and opportunistic country radio DJ, a pair of wily record producers, and a naive young singer-songwriter, and the stage is set. Everybody plans to make a killing—one way or another. It’s murder on Music Row, where things don’t always turn out as planned. Fender Benders won the Lefty Award (best humorous novel) at the Left Coast Crime Convention 2001.
FAVOR (Stanley Hastings Mystery Book 3) by Parnell Hall
It was just a simple favor. Drive down to Atlantic City, check out Sergeant MacAullif’s son-in-law, and see why his daughter wasn’t happy in her marriage. Stanley Hastings started following the guy around, and quickly found himself involved with notorious loan sharks, sleazy private eyes, fat-cat casino owners, and crooked blackjack dealers, not to mention two dead bodies. Stanley had no idea who killed them, or why, but all the clues seemed to point to the son-in-law. Only the witness blew the ID and the cops arrested Stanley instead. Taking the fall for homicide is a hell of a favor. Stanley was in over his head, so he did the one thing he never thought he’d do in his life. He hired a private eye!
HABEAS PORPOISE (Solomon vs Lord series) by Paul Levine
The love-hate relationship of Solomon & Lord continues. Sure, opposites attract, but they argue, too! This time, it starts with the kidnaping of two trained dolphins from Miami’s Cetacean Park. When one of the ecoterrorists behind the raid turns up dead, his partner in eco-crime is charged with homicide, even though he didn’t pull the trigger. It’s called “felony murder,” and Solomon thinks it’s a bum rap. What he doesn’t count on is his lover and law partner Victoria Lord being named a special prosecutor. Conflicts-of-interest abound, and Steve is up to his old tricks. At least, the mismatched legal duo agree on something…each one vows to win the case!
BUCK FEVER (Blanco County Mysteries, Book 1) by Ben Rehder
It’s the week before deer season and Game Warden John Marlin is busy with poaching complaints, but then a call of a different sort comes in. A man dressed in some sort of deer costume has been shot, and witnesses are reporting a wild-eyed buck prancing about in a lovesick frenzy. Marlin’s seen a lot in his years, but this is wilder than he could have imagined: the man in the deer suit is a good friend, and the whacked-out whitetail isn’t a stranger either. It’s the beginning of a crazy weekend in Blanco County, one that will see a few more men shot, an invasion by Colombians, and damn near the end of Marlin’s life.
