Produktbeschreibung

Six Novels contains the following full-length novels: The Great Barrington Train Wreck, Frontier Justice, Blood and Blackmail, The Real Meaning of Life, Your Kiss Is like the Sweetest Fire, and The Book of the Dead. In the space allowed, I will give brief descriptions of these novels.

The Great Barrington Train Wreck describes the life of a homeless guy named Mike Stratton. Living on the street isn't easy, but Mike knows his way around...at least until the day he almost dies from hypothermia. Scrambling around, he finds a job as a cab driver, rents an apartment, and falls in love with his most beautiful fare, the enigmatic Alexandra Hughes. Mike becomes obsessed with her, and before long, it appears that she needs himespecially on the night when she tells him, through a flood of tears, that her racist father has murdered her black boyfriend and is coming after her next. But all is not quite what it seems in this tale of a down-and-out guy who is never able to see through the smokescreen of his lust.

Frontier Justice describes the results of a crime committed by two teenagers when they stood on an overpass and hurled cement blocks at cars, which resulted in the death of eight people. During the arrest of one of the perpetrators, a police officer named Adriana Jones persuaded the suspect to surrender his gun, but shortly later, he was shot to death. Adriana claims it was self-defense, but the prosecutor, after reviewing both Adriana's history and the evidence at the scene, charges her with second degree murder. Will she be convicted? And how would you have voted if you were on that jury?

Blood and Blackmail: Jesse Barnett is confident his girlfriend Justine didn't murder Trent, her ex-husband, because he never heard any gunshots on the night the two of them broke into Trent's house to search for obscene photos that he had taken of Justine's daughter. However, Jesse's confidence in Justine begins to waver when he is told that the murder weapon had a silencer attached to it. Justine is arrested, and after she rejects a plea deal, the prosecutor charges her with first degree murder. The trial is an odd one that leaves everyone wondering who really committed the murder.

In The Real Meaning of Life, Patrick Devlan, a twenty-seven-year-old man who has written a number of murder mysteries becomes entangled in a real-life murder mystery. Neurotic, unstable, and chauvinistic, Patrick skitters around on the edge of events as Nick, his roommate and best friend, is arrested and convicted of murdering a woman. But it isn't really clear who murdered the woman, and when Nick is sentenced to death, Patrick's world begins to crumble.
