"A fun and quirky adventure. Chris Wong Sick Hong is an author to watch!" - Patricia Briggs Does saving the world count if you do it out of spite? They call me a dick because I am one: Dick Richards, Private Eye. Tour guides and politicians up for reelection crow about how Tipton’s “majestic skyscrapers paint a living mosaic of light against the edges of space,” blissfully ignorant of the Under seeping through society’s cracks like fluorescent mold. Elves, dwarves, superheroes...everyone’s got secrets and what’s a little blackmail among associates? That’s just life. And while there isn’t enough cash in the universe to pay for knight-in-shining-armor suicide missions, there are lines. Tap dance across those—firebomb my apartment and kill my friends—and now it’s personal. Some compare me to Harry Harrison’s Stainless Steel Rat or Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden. An AI thinks I’m like Tom Rob Smith’s Child 44. One Tom, one Dick, two-and-a-half Harrys. The after-school special damn near writes itself. But do you really need to be told what to think? Buy or don't. I don't have time to babysit. ____________________________________________________________ Join Dick Richards on his next adventure! The 2nd part of the series, Dick Richards: Planeswalker is now available as an ebook. Readers' reviews “Chris Wong Sick Hong knows his craft well and strikes a daring pose with DICK RICHARDS, PRIVATE EYE. Entertaining, informed and informing, humor and action driven, this Noir Cyberpunk adventure is sure to thrill and entertain. With tinges of Harrison’s Stainless Steel Rat and Gibson’s Burning Chrome, DICK RICHARDS forges a unique alloy of fantasy, magic, and science into an engaging and entertaining story.” - Kevin Noel Olson, author of TOCSIN CODEX "This is such a fun, quirky book. So many authors do the noir style badly, but Chris absolutely nails it. In a futuristic world that's like Blade Runner with elves, a jaded private detective gets drawn into a case that becomes increasingly dangerous...and increasingly personal." - 5 star review on Goodreads "I loved this book from start to finish. The world is engaging, the characters are colorful and interesting. The plot is engaging and dynamic. If you are a fan of the sci-fi genre, this is a great book to read." - 5 star review on Amazon "I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a fresh take on the traditional detective/mystery story." - 4 star review on Amazon

Leo Moran is not your average private detective. An avowed gourmet and wine connoisseur, he enjoys the pleasures of life to the hilt in the splendid isolation of his West End apartment. Ordinarily, his most pressing concerns involve which vintage of wine to pair with the finest organic steak, but at times he has more unsettling concerns: visions of violent crimes. After the ritualistic murder of a young woman in rural Argyll Leo decides to help the police. He arrives at a brooding, majestic landscape in the grip of winter and meets a host of strange and colourful characters who congregate in and around the Loch Dhonn Hotel – including the ghost of the victim. Frustrated by forces of evil summoned up the killer, at first Leo fails to make headway, and his intemperance wears thin the patience of his allies and the police. Cast out and close to despair, Leo must draw on all his powers to unmask the murderer before he himself becomes the next victim.

Would you try to save your son from a death sentence if he tried to murder you in your own bed? In Murder by Moonlight, Vincent Zandri's cunning detective Dick Moonlight returns with his toughest case yet: proving an open-and-shut murder investigation isn't over at all. Joan Parker is the last woman private eye Dick Moonlight would ever expect to see in his Albany office. From the right side of the tracks-neighboring Bethlehem-she bears her upper class upbringing as effortlessly as a string of pearls. She also bears a scar running down her head and face-a brutal reminder of the ax attack that took the life of her husband. Her twenty-one-year-old son, Christopher, now sits in jail charged with the crime. According to the official report-based on Joan's answers to police when they arrived at the house and found her barely alive-she identified Christopher as the culprit. But sitting in Moonlight's office, she reveals that she has no recollection of the event, yet is certain of one thing: Christopher didn't do it. Moonlight knows a thing or two about being nearly dead. And he also knows the tragedy of the police jumping to the wrong conclusions-a past case of a falsely accused client still haunts him-so he agrees to take the job and get to the truth of what happened that day. At first the trail of clues-from the crime scene to Joan's original accusation-keeps the finger pointed at Christopher. But soon Moonlight turns up something he never expected, something more sinister than anything he's ever come up against. Vincent Zandri's latest Dick Moonlight PI thriller, Murder by Moonlight is a fast-paced, whip-smart tale of a guy who can't always remember getting into trouble-and can't seem to stay out of it. For fans of Robert B. Parker, Michael Connelly, Ace Atkins, Brett Battles, Don Winslow, and more comes an unputdownable mystery based on a true story that's sure to keep you up all night...in a good way.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK

With an introduction by award-winning novelist Barbara Kingsolver In the late nineteenth century, when the great powers in Europe were tearing Africa apart and seizing ownership of land for themselves, King Leopold of Belgium took hold of the vast and mostly unexplored territory surrounding the Congo River. In his devastatingly barbarous colonization of this area, Leopold stole its rubber and ivory, pummelled its people and set up a ruthless regime that would reduce the population by half. . While he did all this, he carefully constructed an image of himself as a deeply feeling humanitarian. Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize in 1999, King Leopold’s Ghost is the true and haunting account of this man’s brutal regime and its lasting effect on a ruined nation. It is also the inspiring and deeply moving account of a handful of missionaries and other idealists who travelled to Africa and unwittingly found themselves in the middle of a gruesome holocaust. Instead of turning away, these brave few chose to stand up against Leopold. Adam Hochschild brings life to this largely untold story and, crucially, casts blame on those responsible for this atrocity.
