2. Killing Paparazzi
Nina Zero is a girl who attracts trouble. Serious trouble of the guns-a-blazing, knife in the back variety. After serving a prison sentence for single-handedly blowing up LAX airport – by mistake – she finds on her release that the world just won’t allow her to lead a simple life. The "electrifying" demise of heavy metal group Death Row in a hotel hot-tub gives Nina the opportunity to launch a new career as a paparazza – but all too soon the shine of her glamorous job begins to tarnish with the chilling realization that someone is killing Los Angeles’ paparazzi.
While the corpses of her competition pile up around L.A. Nina takes it upon herself to track down the killer, becoming prey for both the police and the murderer. While searching for the killer she manages to squeeze in an off-the-wall green card wedding, a guest appearance on the docu-soap, Meat Wagon, and a walk-on part in a longstanding family feud. At turns hilarious and thrilling, with a pace as fast as the paparazzi’s flashbulb, Killing Paparrazi is no normal trip down the red carpet.
5. Zero to the Bone
Robert Eversz’s edgy and endearing heroine Nina Zero is back…and this time she’s embroiled in her most dangerous case ever — investigating L.A.’s underground S&M scene while getting caught up in sex, lies, and babysitting. It’s opening night of Nina Zero’s first gallery show, and her staged photographs of Hollywood pulp scenes are attracting the interest of actual art connoisseurs, not just the usual gossip rag readership. But the excitement of the evening shifts to alarm when Nina receives an anonymous package containing an amateur bondage video that may have ended in death. As she and her editor at "Scandal Times" watch the rape and strangling of a young woman, Nina Zero recognizes a distinctive tattoo on the woman’s right shoulder, and suddenly realizes why one of her models has missed the opening.
Who sent the tape? And more important, what happened to the woman? Nina starts investigating her model and discovers a parallel life of S&M phone sex, blogs written in code, an illicit relationship with a celebrity hypnotherapist, and ties to the son of a billionaire film director. Her "Scandal Times" coverage of the case enrages the LAPD and attracts death threats from anonymous sources. Luckily, Nina has her trusted (but toothless) Rottweiler by her side, as well as a sexy but mysterious detective who keeps landing in her bed. Just when events begin to spin from her control, Nina’s deeply dysfunctional family enters the fray, making life even more complicated for this ex-con with a soft heart and a chip on her shoulder.
