Leslie Adams doesn't often get angry, upset, or worried. So when Molly, his sister, first disappeared, Les kept calm and used his head. When he was nearly killed in a house explosion while searching for his sister, well, that rattled him a bit, but still Les kept his wits about him. Now the police are blaming him for the explosion, as well as a botched robbery in which a woman was killed. His schizophrenia is becoming a problem, he's being stalked by a mysterious woman that may or may not exist, and his siblings are questioning his sanity. Understandably, Les is feeling a bit stressed, but he has everything under control. More than that, his delusions are the key to discovering the truth about the robbery and his sister's disappearance. At least, that's what he hopes. The crime debut of a startling new writer!

Cowabunga, schweetheart! A book in the manner of Surfing Samurai Robots! In a Los Angeles that is something like ours–but in which magic has become an integral part of society–P.I. Turner Cronyn doesn't know why he's being threatened by a supernatural being. Does it have anything to do with the fact that zombies looking like him are turning up all over town? And who killed Misty Morning, the beautiful mage he was supposed to be protecting? But on the bright side, a beautiful woman named Astraea Scales seems determined to help with his investigations. There's just one little problem: is she really a Greek goddess related to the Three Fates–or does she just look like one? This is just one of the life-and-death questions that Cronyn must answer to avoid being made a zombie himself. Great fantasy and mystery adventure–the first in a series.
