Beck, K.K. We Interrupt This Broadcast
New York Mysterious Press 1997 0892966424 / 9780892966424 First Edition Hard Cover Near Fine Near Fine
DJ Copy - Seattle's classical music station KLEG, kept alive as the pet project of the wealthy Payne family, plays LPs rather than CDs, has creditors but no cachet, and regularly puts its elderly audience to sleep--except in the wee hours when sultry Teresa, Queen of the Night, keeps insomniacs in a state of erotic anticipation. KLEG is also the only place musician Alice Jordan can find a job after her dentist husband runs off with his hygienist. The ramshackle studio appalls her, the hostile staff intimidates her, but the corpse in the couch is about to awaken her latent talent for snooping . . . or is that sleuthing? Dead is sleazy ad man Ed Costello, who was making peanuts selling airtime for KLEG, but raked in the big bucks running an escort service from the station. The police think there's a killer among Ed's call girls. Alice, offering her help to a handsome homicide detective named Lukowski, suspects the most loopy employees at KLEG; a weird survivalist named Chip she found in Ed's phone register; and the mysterious Teresa, who tapes her shows and remains incognito. Alice is in for a shock when she starts to uncover the secrets hidden among the vinyl--and the real motive for Ed's demise. There's more trouble brewing at KLEG, and if Alice doesn't get a beat on the killer, she may be hearing a swan song for her own life. . . .

Brewer, Steve BOOST
Denver Speck Press 2044 first hardcover / boards fine fine
DY Copy - Sam Hill steals cars. Not just any cars, but collectible cars, rare works of automotive artistry. Sam's a specialist, and he's made a good life for himself in Albuquerque, NM. Things change one night after he steals a primo 1965 Thunderbird from a lawyer's house. In the trunk, Sam finds a corpse, a police informant with a bullet hole between his eyes. And he learns that cops are swarming the garage where he'd planned to deliver the T-Bird. Somebody set Sam up. Played a trick on him. And Sam, a prankster himself, can't let it go. He must find whoever framed him, and get his revenge with an even bigger practical joke, one that soon has gangsters gunning for him and police on his tail. Using his own resourcefulness as well as the assistance of his two pals, apprentice thief Billy Suggs and an inscrutable giant named Way-Way Henderson, Sam learns who's behind the body in the trunk-Phil Ortiz, a notorious drug dealer and car collector. Sam, it seems, boosted Ortiz's favorite car-a green low-rider painted with the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe-and Ortiz is determined to get even. And to get that car back. But Sam has other ideas. Such as sticking Ortiz with the body of the dead informant. Such as framing the sweaty salvage man who sided with Ortiz. Such as stealing the drug dealer's entire collection of valuable cars. The stakes get higher with each round of one-upsmanship. Finally, it's clear that Ortiz won't quit until he has the last laugh and Sam Hill's dead. In Boost, Steve Brewer stirs up his usual potent mixture of high crime and low comedy in a rollicking novel where car thieves are the good guys and the action never stops.

Brewer, Steve Bulletts
Denver Intrigue Press 2003 first Hardcover / boards Fine Fine
A stabd alone novel - DJ copy - "Some people are ridiculously easy to kill... Lily Marsden is a killer-for-hire, and Max Vernon has the unlucky fate of being Lily's next hit. But unlike Lily's history of clean and professional contract killings, this one is going to get messy. Killing a man in an upscale Las Vegas hotel like the Tropical Bay is a sign of disrespect that will not go unpunished. It makes no difference who was killed, but rather where they were killed and how much money is being lost. Ken Staley, the owner of the hotel, sees fit to take care of this murder investigation the "Vegas way" and sends his right-hand man Loomis to take care of the mysterious Lily. But Loomis isn't the only one looking for this woman; an ex-cop from Chicago has been trailing her for months. She's the key to clearing Joe Riley's tarnished record, the reason he had to take an early retirement in shame. Picking up her hot trail in Las Vegas, this is as close as he's ever gotten to her, and there's no way in hell he's backing off now, even if it means dodging the bullets of two psychotic murderous twins, a split-tongued lawyer, a thug for hire, and perhaps even love. And just to make Joe's life more of a living hell, he has to deal with two jaded gamblers who won't go away until they get retribution for blowing their winnings in a late night game of cards.
