1. The Blacktop Blues
He’s lost his girl and now his mind. Jed Strait survived the war, but will his homecoming be the death of him?
Jed Strait made it through the war unscathed. Or at least, that’s what he thought. But now that he’s home, he’s not so sure, because he’s plagued by horrifying flashbacks. Only, they’re visions of events that never occurred.
All he wants is to reconnect with the woman he left behind and get on with his life, but according to the visions, that’s the worst thing he could do. If he follows Annabelle to LA, his nightmares could actually become real, but staying in New York with no Annabelle and no explanations will surely drive him mad.
Damned if he goes and damned if he stays, the only path forward is the one leading west, to the final crescendo of either marriage, misery or madness waiting for him at the end of a road that’s paved with The Blacktop Blues.
2. The Double-Time Slide
When a strangler stalks the city, a stranger must take him down. But will catching the killer cost his life?
A chance encounter with a burlesque dancer drags Jed Strait into the sleazy alleys of Los Angeles, where he finds the police following a string of murders. Soon he realizes that the cops are on a path that will lead them straight back to Jed’s robot assistant. Now he’s torn between loyalty to Carmelita and the need to prevent future killings.
Jed’s efforts to unravel the truth and clear Carmelita’s name are frustrated when his witnesses keep turning up dead. He worries that the killer may be onto him or that Carmelita is playing him for a fool. It’s all on the line as Jed races to find the killer–whoever it is–before he himself becomes the sour note at the end of The Double-Time Slide.
3. The Shakedown Shuffle
It’s not easy being a private detective in a town full of secrets and lies. Can he find the truth without getting his clients killed?
Jed Strait knows that Hollywood is a town built on deception. But when he can’t trust his clients to tell him the truth, how can he keep his fledgling business afloat? When his trusty robot assistant goes AWOL just as his only case takes a deadly turn, Jed is forced to make a difficult choice.
He can fight to save his shady clients, possibly from themselves. Or he can fight to save Carmelita from the mysterious new boyfriend who seems too good to be real. No matter how Jed plays it, someone is bound to lose now that he’s riffing to The Shakedown Shuffle.
4. The Jetpack Boogie
Jed Strait has let his nemesis, Elsa Schwartz, get away one time too many. Now, he needs to track her down before she can do real damage—and that means following her into an alternate world where all the rules are different.
But pursuing Elsa means putting everything else on hold—his business, his latest case, and the relationship with Sherise that’s now moving in surprising directions. Worse, his hold on reality is starting to slip, and if he keeps chasing Elsa, he runs the risk of losing what little ability he has to cling to the world he’s made his own.
Faced with the choice of letting Elsa rise to power in an unsuspecting world or chasing her down and losing his chance at happiness, Jed Strait can do nothing more than let the notes play out in a deadly dance called The Jetpack Boogie.
