The Delicate Darling
He was a Don Juan—a Latin lover with a special flair for attracting luscious women...and lethal killers! A Father Shanley/Stanley Golden Mystery.
The Big Sin
When a determined Irish Catholic priest and a tough Jewish police detective team up to solve the murder of a gorgeous showgirl, the evidence of violence and corruption they uncover tears the town apart! Of his fast and unusual thriller Jack Webb writes: “The Big Sin was written because I needed faith in myself. So I wrote a story about faith … For all the gaudiness my story may wear as a mystery filled with violence, good is good in it, and bad, bad, ant there’s strength enough in the simply faith within to swing the outcome.” Father Shanley refused to believe that Rose had committed the big sin.
Fierce Tea
This stunning first book from a major new talent focuses on the life and work of Jaisen, a self-proclaimed New Age performance artist from the North East of England. Alone, or with his brother and friends, he instigates 'artistic events' - 'performances' which are strongly ritualistic, extraordinarily surreal and anarchistic. Includes 60 colour plates.
The Deadly Sex
Detective Sammy Golden was surprised to find her there—in the gaudy apartment of a dangerous diamond smuggler—standing of his dead body with a fortune in diamonds in her bag … and a pistol in her hand. She looked too pretty, and too nice, for the role. Besides, she was a widow—the widow of a cop who had been murdered just 48 hours before.
