A Stranger In Paris
A Stranger In Paris is the ninth in the Inspector Gilles Maintenon Mystery Series. Gilles faces the most diabolical killer in years. The dead, blameless young men in the sunshine of life, are piling up. With political ferment and a busy and distracted police department, it’s a case of too many clues and not enough time. Someone will have to make a mistake, otherwise the police are two steps behind all the way. This one will take teamwork, dull, plodding procedure, attention to detail, and a lot of luck to solve.
Speak Softly My Love
To fall in love is to be young again. To count the cost is to die a little bit inside. In Speak Softly My Love, Inspector Gilles Maintenon goes out for a quart of milk and stumbles across a dead man. The trouble is, when the dead get up and walk away. They have one too many missing-person reports, too many wives, girlfriends and other mysterious blondes. Enticing as it is, Gilles has a heavy court schedule. Without a body and a firm identification, what can they really do? It’s a time of budget restraint and limited resources—and the work keeps piling up. The suave but inexperienced Detective Hubert, and the raw but persistent Detective Tailler must handle the case. All Maintenon can do is keep his mouth shut and let them give it a shot. In this, the fifth in the noir Inspector Gilles Maintenon Mystery Series, author Louis Shalako transports the reader into the gritty reality of murder in Paris, 1931. An unforgettable mystery, one that is dark, witty and entertaining.
The Clone
All it took was a human hair and the smell of the past. Cloning the first big love of your life thirty years later might not be such a good idea, even when you have the means to do it. A short story.
# 99 Easy Street
Mark is a jazz trumpeter just released from a mental institution. Amy, a recent graduate from the New School, is an anthropologist studying lifelong bachelorhood in the modern urban context. A dead hooker in the bathtub seriously complicates matters just when things are getting interesting. Life is not all it seems at #99 Easy St. It is, however, better than some of the alternatives.
Under Your Skin
Under Your Skin is a collection of short fiction. Nineteen of the edgiest stories from Louis Shalako.
Tactics of Delay
Outnumbered ten to one, Confederation forces under Lieutenant-Colonel Dona Graham must successfully defend the planet Denebola-Seven from an invasion of Unfriendly Forces, acting on behalf of the Mining Worlds and the Conglomerate. Called up from a teaching position at the Staff College, Dona’s mission is a simple one. It is to maintain a military, economic and political presence on the planet for as long as possible. To win would also be helpful. Having written a textbook called Tactics of Delay, there is no better time, no better place, to put her theory to the test. This is the field of battle and the Confederation soldier is one of the best-educated soldiers in the Galaxy. A full-length novel, military science-fiction of the distant future by Louis Shalako.
The Game
How much of who we are is tied up in what we know? If something wiped our 'knowledge,' or higher education, but left our basic faculties, the ability to speak and to act, would we all be created equal again? In The Game, everything must be learned the hard way. The learning curve is painful. The price of a mistake is a laser bolt through the head. A short story.
The Assassins
Emperor Domitian hates Christians. He isn't too fond of philosophers either. The Assassins will cut anyone's throat for a few pieces of gold, so that's no problem. The popular Heron of Alexandria is brash and outspoken. In addition to teaching school and building an aeolipile, history's first reaction motor, he has some other surprising skills.
The Fae
Blanchard has been tramping all up and down this valley with a rucksack and a camera on his back for as long as he can remember. And yet there is something, someone else out there. After exactly two short glimpses and a few indistinct tracks in the mud, he’s determined to get the shot of a lifetime. A short fantasy story.
Leap of Faith
It was a leap of faith every time. The odds were always against them. Dropping into a deep-penetration strategic reconnaissance mission from near space takes a strong personality, but Angela Yancey needs to get through to Jason Bridger before he kills them both.
