The Wicked and the Dead introduces screenwriter-cum-amateur sleuth Billy Winnetka to the fictional landscape once traversed by Raymond Chandler and James M. Cain.

Billy likes to write about crime, not solve it. But when an old producer friend dies under suspicious circumstances, his doubts about the cause of death are too troubling to ignore. As one by one more movie veterans are cut out of the picture, Billy suspects a complex plot. Could he be the next candidate for the big sleep?

A Taste of Murder and  A Second Helping of Murder celebrate the connection between detective novels and food with dozens of recipes collected from today's best writers or recreated from crime classics. Each volume serves up 150 wickedly delectable treats from kneadless violence and red herrings to murder most fowl and sweet revenge. So eat, drink, and be wary. . .
