Spiagge, pupe e pallottole
By Valeria Poropat, Falafel Jones. 2015
MA DI CHE PARLIAMO? Max Fried è un ex esperto di informatica forense che dedica la vita a nuotare, bere…
e fare il bagno sotto il sole caldo della Florida, ma oggi...è proprio una giornataccia. C'è un assassino in arrivo. Quando un suadente avvocato convince Max a trovare i beni di un cliente morto, lui accetta, pensando che sarà una passeggiata. Al contrario, un vecchio assassino con una nuova identità entra in casa di Max e ruba il computer del cliente. Max non sa che il computer contiene indizi per un assassinio vecchio di 20 anni, ma d'altra parte l'assassino non sa che Max ha una copia di tutti i file del computer rubato sul suo iPod. Purtroppo per il cattivo, la copia contiene le prove che lo porteranno alla condanna a morte. Ora, Max è l'ultimo ancora in vita che sa perché le persone muoiono. Se riuscirà a battere l'assassinio in astuzia, potrà tornare al suo sgabello e al suo bar sulla spiaggia. In caso contrario, diventerà la vittima numero cinque. SPIAGGE, PUPE E PALLOTTOLE è un giallo con un avvocato playboy, una ricca ereditiera, il nostro esaminatore forense preferito e, ah già, una manciata di morti, qualche poliziotto e un assassino. Max e io abbiamo lavorato entrambi come esperti forensi nel settore informatico, abbiamo la licenza da investigatore privato e viviamo su un'isoletta. Però non ditegli che solo uno di noi due è reale.The Body Snatcher

Crusher McNashis the police force's most fearless detective, a barrel-chested bull terrier with a biscuit-thin temper and a barbed-wire tongue.…
Cassius Lap is the finest agent in the Feline Bureau of Investigation, an imperturbable Siamese with a mind as sharp as a can opener. San Bernardo is their territory, a seething metropolis where fat-cats prance in the exclusive island enclave of Kathattan while working dogs wallow in the stinking squalor of the Kennels. When a couple of Rottweiler gangsters are brutally murdered, Crusher McNash tries to convince himself that it's nothing unusual-- just another underworld territorial dispute. But after the sniffer squad identifies a feral-cat killer, McNash is forced to do the unthinkable-- team up with a prissy Siamese from the FBI. The trail leads from junkyards to gambling dens, from cat prisons to baronial estates, in the process unraveling an awesome conspiracy involving domination techniques, population control, and the megalomaniacal ambitions of fox media magnate Phineas Reynard. Both a hard-bitten crime story and a sharp-fanged satire,The Unscratchables is the genre-bending mystery of the year.Death of a Diva: A Honey Driver Murder Mystery
