With illustrations by Robert Carrasco. Then the second paranormal MOONRISERS, the first in the humorous Moonriser Werewolf Mystery series, with Jeff, a player and a surfer who has a werewolf problem that involves him with a dangerous surfer gang, a Voodoo coven, a werewolf pack…and murder! And then--a BONUS! The (real) first in the Crispin Guest Medieval Noir series CUP OF BLOOD. Disgraced knight turned detective Crispin Guest finds himself investigating a missing religious relic while eluding the violent overtures of the minions of the French antipope, a sultry courtier, Knight Templars, and a cunning cutpurse.
