Tutti Frutti is the FIFTH hilariously thrilling novel in the Dev Haskell mystery series. "Lock the door, pour yourself a nice glass of something, and then hang on for a crazy ride with the likes of Dev Haskell and Candi." -Crime Syndicate A DISBARRED ATTORNEY, ILLEGAL GAMBLING, AND A SEXUALLY AGGRESSIVE 'COUGAR.' ACTION AND HILARITY ENSUE. Private Investigator Dev Haskell stumbles into the famed Tutti Frutti in search of an illegal gambling operation. Instead he finds a bondage club run by the mobster D'Angelo brothers, more murder and action than he ever dreamed of, and Candi: devilishly compelling Candi. The kind of woman Dev just can't learn to leave alone. In classic form, he just might have been set up ... again. Tutti Frutti, it turns out, is a dangerous way to live... "...one of those wonderfully engaging tales where everything seems so obvious until you realize that you've been had too." -Behind Bars
Ting-A-Ling is the Seventh mystery in the highly entertaining Dev Haskell Private Investigator mystery series. In Hitchcockian fashion, the telephone rings at two in the morning. PI Dev Haskell answers, half-asleep, to a giggling woman named Danielle. It seems she's found his phone number on a bathroom stall. She's called Dev "for a good time," but what she really wants is for him to deliver a simple message to her former business partner. It's all fun and games (not to mention funny) til someone goes missing. Next thing he knows, our fair but bumbling hero can't find his client or her business partner, which turns out to be the least of his problems when he finds himself on the hook for murder, and suddenly haunted by a multitude of childhood secrets. In a bizarre but compelling mixture of suspense, family drama, and offbeat comedy, Dev once again messily balances both sides of the law in a wacky adventure that will keep you on your toes while laughing out loud. "Faricy is the next Carl Hiaasen." -Crime Scene

Last Shot is the SIXTH offbeat (and very funny) mystery in the Dev Haskell Private Investigator series. Dysfunctional PI Dev Haskell receives a request from beautiful, red-headed Desi Quinn to investigate the trumped-up charges that ruined her life and sent her to prison six years ago. Desi's life was destroyed after a brief relationship with upstanding citizen Man-of-the-Year Gaston Driscoll, who just happened to be her boss. She views Dev as her last hope--her last shot--but the impossibly dangerous scenario she describes makes Dev think the investigation would be out of his league; he politely declines. As Desi's story slowly unravels, Dev realizes (under a mountain of guilt) that he made a huge mistake. He embarks on a mission to make things right, only to become a killer's next target. An entertaining tale of intrigue, rank ineptitude, and raucously entertaining one-night stands, Last Shot is another funny, fast paced, engrossing thriller from Minnesota's master of the bizarre.
