    It's been two years since private eye Will "Lucky" Marks' first case. That was the one that ended a promising police career. It was the one that started it all. The veneer has worn from the once dreamy image of an L.A. Shamus. Now, Lucky takes the cases that come and finds a life somewhere between the glitz of Hollywood and the dregs of humanity. Like most good detective stories, it all starts with a woman, but unlike the adventures he once imagined, now-a-days, it's usually somebody else's wife. But every once in a while, the jaded Will is bound to get "lucky". ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Brion.

    This is New Orleans - 1950. She crossed Canal Street from the neutral ground, walked right past Private Eye Lucien Caye, and he watched her come and go, both views unforgettable. A woman can do that on occasion, sear an indelible image in a man's mind. She remained a snapshot until a week later when she stepped from the darkness beneath the balcony of Lucien's building shortly after midnight, on a sultry Thursday night. Thus begins a most elusive case, a case of obsession and murder, a case that will baffle Lucien, intrigue him, make him fall in love - three times. The case of a desirable woman enamored of an undesirable man defies understanding, yet the human heart rarely listens to the human brain. A smart guy like Lucien should know better, but his mind has trouble controlling his libido, much less his heart. Born in New Orleans, O'Neil De Noux is a prolific American writer of novels and short stories. Much of his fiction falls under the mystery genre described by critics as hyper-realistic, character-driven crime fiction. He has 30 books in print and over 300 short story sales in multiple genres. Mr. De Noux's writing has received numerous awards, including the prestigious Shamus Award for Best Short Story (Shamus Awards are given annually to recognize outstanding achievement in private eye fiction) and the Derringer Award for Best Novelette (Derringer Awards are given annually by the Short Mystery Fiction Society to recognize excellence in the short mystery fiction form). De Noux's novel John Raven Beau was named 2011 Police Book of the Year. Two of his stories have appeared in the Best American Mystery Stories anthology (2013 and 2007). O'Neil De Noux was the 2012-2013 Vice-President of the Private Eye Writers of America. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Galloway Smith.

    Enjoy the adventures of Max Latin, the detective who doesn't want to be a detective! Author Norbert Davis mixed the classic hard-boiled style with humor, making Max Latin unique in pulp fiction. Appearing for five screwball stories in Dime Detective, this new edition includes an authoritative introduction by fellow Dime Detective scribe John D. MacDonald. "Watch Me Kill You!": I'll do an artistic job of it and everything'll be over and we'll have you all comfortable in your coffin before you know it. We will, that is, if we can keep Latin, the only shamus who might gum the works, sufficiently soaked in brandy till your grave's filled. "Don't Give Your Right Name": If you happen to get in the line of fire of a baleful Borgia on a murder rampage. Take a lesson from a shamus with a shady rep and stagger out of the way with plenty of brandy under your belt. You'll come out on top much quicker, with dough in your kick to boot, and a hell of a lot less grief. "Give the Devil His Due": As he accepts a murder commission, for a price, and joins up with the busy folk who are searching the missing Jupiter Zachary - to make sure he stays that way, and preferably dead. "You Can Die Any Day": In a variety of unpleasant ways, as the unctuous Mrs. Gregory Farmer soon found out when she decided to become a client of that nonesuch of the genus sleuth, the brandy-drinking Latin, who couldn't keep his feet out of the blood puddles any more than he could keep his beak away from a sniffing-glass. "Charity Begins at Homicide": With Max Latin and Carter-Heason, the guy strictly from Kipling, following the latest goings-on of the "Charity" racket. ungekürzt. Language: English.
