Chandler: Circle City Slam

ISBN: 1515048446

Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
Here's what reviewers are saying about Bill Craig's new Chandler mystery series: "A gritty urban fast-paced investigative mystery..." "Quick action, intertwining plots and lots of reason to turn the next page...." The investigation flies at a pace that kept me turning the pages ..." "Written in a "Pulp Fiction" style that flits from character to character, showing what's happening away from the eyes of the hero and then touches base back at his investigation before charging into the villains' action again. And in that same writing style, the story comes together and the pieces of the puzzle start clicking together. The book is well crafted, keeping the investigator just a step behind the madness of the evil that pervades an Indiana city." "The 'Circle' is definitely made up of hell-on-wheels criminals. Bad guys you will love to hate, and dames in distress. A hero worth launching a series for. Five stars." "Very readable ..." Phillip Chandler is a hardboiled private eye working Indianapolis -- called Circle City for the towering war memorial in the circular drive at its center. Here he sets out to prove a pro basketball player didn't kill his girlfriend. As it turns out, there are lots of other suspects to pick from, dangerous bad guys who inhabit Circle City.

The Tomb kicks off the Repairman Jack series that Stephen King calls "one of the best all-out adventure stories I've read in years." Much to the chagrin of his girlfriend, Gia, Repairman Jack doesn't deal with appliances. He fixes situations—situations that too often land him in deadly danger. His latest fix is finding a stolen necklace which, unknown to him, is more than a simple piece of jewelry. Some might say it's cursed, others might call it blessed. The quest leads Jack to a rusty freighter on Manhattan's West Side docks. What he finds in its hold threatens his sanity and the city around him. But worst of all, it threatens Gia's daughter Vicky, the last surviving member of a bloodline marked for extinction.

ISBN: 0307767485
Category : Fiction

Pages : 225
Book Description
The steadfast and sturdy Continental Op has been summoned to the town of Personville—known as Poisonville—a dusty mining community splintered by competing factions of gangsters and petty criminals. The Op has been hired by Donald Willsson, publisher of the local newspaper, who gave little indication about the reason for the visit. No sooner does the Op arrive, than the body count begins to climb . . . starting with his client. With this last honest citizen of Poisonville murdered, the Op decides to stay on and force a reckoning—even if that means taking on an entire town. Red Harvest is more than a superb crime novel: it is a classic exploration of corruption and violence in the American grain.
