MONEY MONEY MONEY by David Wagoner
Big, generous Willie Grier is swimming in Lake Michigan one summer night in 1955 when he finds the dead body of a man. The horrifying experience leads him into bed with a ruthlessly seductive woman, pits him against vicious gangsters, and hurls him into a whirlwind of cold cash, hot s*x, and bloody violence.

Thriller fans are raving about SLATEWIPER! "The writing in this book is superb and the tension and action make it a top action thriller"... "suspenseful and well written"... "Once you start, you are hooked."

Lara Blackwood, genetic engineering entrepreneur and presidential advisor, gets an urgent call to help solve a horrific epidemic in Tokyo. She soon realizes, to her horror, that terrorists have diabolically twisted her research to create a slatewiper — a genetic weapon that uses a person’s own DNA to kill them. It’s the perfect way to annihilate an entire race…or all of humanity…and she’s the only one who can stop it.

NEW FROM BRASH BOOKS! The witty, outrageously entertaining spy novel, hailed by The Observer as “a very lively and readable, ultra-s*xy spy thriller,” written by Barry Norman, the beloved, hugely popular BBC movie critic, TV host and journalist.

It’s the 1960s, deep into the chill of the Cold War. Paul Baker is abducted off the streets of London by a mysterious espionage agency and drafted into being a amateur spy for her Majesty. His mission: travel undercover to Madrid to see if an ex-Cabinet Minister is selling military secrets to the Russians. Baker doesn’t have a license to kill, or any idea what he’s doing… and quickly finds himself targeted for both seduction and death without the training to survive either situation.

This edition includes a new introduction by Mike Ripley, author of "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang."

The protagonist of Tim Sandlin's new novel LIT talks about a day in his life on Dru's Book Musings.

Between luck and careful planning, I managed to construct a life where I do almost nothing I don’t want to do. Laundry. Cleaning cat litter. That’s about it for hassle. It’s not all tacos and sunse…

DEATH ON SUNSET by Barry Norman is the razor-sharp third and final novel in beloved BBC film critic Barry Norman’s hard-boiled Bobby Lennox series, a story the Birmingham Post says “positively glitters. Gorgeously entertaining.”

London boxer-turner-fixer Bobby Lennox is sent to Hollywood as an “associate producer” by a crime boss to oversee his investment in a troubled, big-budget movie. The trouble is that the Mafia-controlled studio is trying to muscle in on the action…and it isn’t long before bodies start dropping and Bobby has to stop the bloodshed…while also keeping the cameras rolling.

“With s*x, violence, dialogue-with-attitude, and a cast list to die for, this is in the Oscar class.” Northern Echo

“Barry Norman, he of the sardonic film reviews, effects a neat, hard-boiled narrative voice in this fluffy crime thriller.” The Evening Standard

"A fresh, exciting, and wholly entertaining story...Tony Knighton’s writing is cinematic and action-packed. Each escapade ratchets up the risk, making for a white-knuckle experience... The dialogue is crisp and authentic, and will no doubt remind crime fiction fanatics of the work of that legend that is Elmore Leonard... the noir aspects of the story shine without becoming too depressing. Readers will walk away from A NIGHT AT THE SHORE fans of Tony Knighton’s writing and will anxiously await his next release." —BOLO Books

All Barry’s books are shot through with his trade-mark dry (but never cruel) wit never better employed when he touches on the mad world of movie-making and it’s wonderful to see them back in print."

THE BIRDDOG TAPE

“A surprisingly well-written and absorbing thriller…an ideal beach book.” —Birmingham Post

DEATH ON SUNSET
“With s*x, violence, dialogue-with-attitude, and a cast list to die for, this is in the Oscar class.” —Northern Echo
