The moon was blue, large, and full and hung low over the New Orleans skyline. The lights from the French Quarter flickered brightly, inviting anyone in to play; danger was in the air, and Jake (JPD) could smell it coming. Now that the serial killer was caught, and Amy Thornton was locked up in a mental institution, the French Quarter was slowly getting back to normal. The strobe lights from the new club, the Shade-Tree, was sliding across the star-studded sky announcing the grand opening, and Patrice Lawson and her partner, Frankie Morales, were proud owners. They were in their office to meet one of the new dancers; his name was Rae Rae Malone, and he was delicious. Willow and Hank Steel took a long-needed vacation and cruise; it was a welcome break from all the drama they had endured in the past year. The cul-de-sac was peaceful and quiet, and the old pickup truck parked under the sycamore tree was well hidden. The young woman waited patiently for the evening sun to set so she could enter the home of Judge Patrice Lawson. Gunshots rang out in the Quarter, and Willow reached for the shotgun under the bar; she forgot Hank had replaced it with a .45 Magnum snub nose because the shotgun was too big for her; she could hear the sirens in the distance and knew the NOPD was on the way; the screams could be heard from the underground club, and one of the merchants shouted, He has a gun! and another shot was heard. This saga of JPD, Murder and Mayhem, is riveting and full of drama; twists and turns; hot, provocative sex; and surprises. The egos are in rare form with Jake, and Hank Steel is in the middle of it all.

“Next to Sam Hunter, Dirty Harry looks like Mother Theresa.” —New York Daily News Los Angeles is a hot town. Hot women. Hot clubs. And, when private eye Sam Hunter is involved, hot tempers. Sam doesn’t take kindly to threats, so when a street thug busts up his office and warns him to “Stay away from Domingo,” he might as well draw Sam a map pointing where to swing his fists. Soon, Sam finds himself racing around L.A., dodging bullets and spiraling deeper and deeper into a world of sex, drugs and danger. A teenage porn star, an heiress and some spoiled rich brat lead Sam to the Black Knight club, a place dark enough to hide heroin and sleaze from the bright lights of the law. What will he find when he finally reaches Domingo? Big rewards or a deadly end? From Edgar Award-winning L.A. Morse, author of THE FLESH EATERS and THE OLD DICK, comes the thrilling story of pimps, pushers and porn that will hit you in the chest like the kickback of a Colt .38 Special.

Cannibalistic cave dwellers. Huge, terrifying clans roaming the moors, seeking out human flesh to rend and consume. It sounds like the horrors of prehistoric savages, but it falls well within recorded history of civilized men. The first half of the fifteenth century saw savagery and fear that erased the line between man and beast. Just eight miles east of the modern city of Edinburgh, Sawney Bean and his murderous family prowled the Scottish coasts, robbing travelers and consuming their victims. “Stick… stock… stuck. You’ve run out of luck. Kill... kill… kill. We eat our fill,” they chant as they descend upon their prey. There’s little the community can do but be hunted. This horrifying tale of nightmare-inducing monsters--inspired by true events--comes into stark reality in THE FLESH EATERS, an imaginative novel by Edgar Award winning author L.A. Morse. Beware, any readers faint of heart. It’s those soft hearts that are the tenderest meat.

“Next to Sam Hunter, Dirty Harry looks like Mother Theresa.”—New York Daily News Los Angeles private eye Sam Hunter doesn’t have a soft side. Everything about him is a hard as a knuckle to the face. So, when a call for help comes in from a trashy porn magazine, it’s not out of the goodness of his heart that Sam takes the case. It has more to do with the curves of the magazine’s sizzling-hot editor. The magazine is called Sleaze, and that’s exactly what has made it the target of a fanatical cult, one willing to shed blood to cleanse its “holy land.” Soon, Sam finds out that morality and sin aren’t so black and white as his investigation slides down a path towards X-rated videos, a Tijuana corpse, and thugs that want Sam dead. Unfortunately for them, they’ve chosen a hard man to kill. From L.A. Morse, the Edgar Award-winning author of THE FLESH EATERS and THE OLD DICK and THE BIG ENCHILADA, comes another electrifying tale of Sam Hunter, a low-down, dirty fighter who takes a hit and hits back harder.
