Silver Zombie

Informationen zum Autor From USA Today bestseller Carole Nelson Douglas in fall, 2018, comes Absinthe Without Leave, the first book in a new Midnight Louie feline PI series readers requested. Douglas writes two Las Vegas-set series: the alphabetically titled 28 Midnight Louie feline PI mysteries partially narrated by a "Sam Spade with claws", and the Delilah Street Paranormal Investigator noir urban fantasies (werewolf mobsters and Silver Screen zombies) set in a paranormal Sin City. Absinthe Without Leave combines the two series. Douglas has also written science fiction thrillers and high fantasy, historical and contemporary romance.She's the first woman author of a Sherlockian series and the first to use a female protagonist (Holmes' out-witter Irene Adler), with the New York Times Notable Book of the Year, Good Night, Mr. Holmes. A four-time Romance Writers Rita Award finalist in four different categories, with RT Book Reviews Career Achievement awards in Suspense, Mystery, Versatility and as a Pioneer of Publishing, and the holder of many Catwriters' Association Muse Medallions in fiction, Carole rescues cats and works at home among mannequins in vintage dress. She does a wicked Marilyn Monroe impersonation (she edited a short story collection on the iconic star), but her literary muse is definitely feline: mysterious, playful, and packing sharp shivs in velvet gloves. Klappentext Zombies and Witches and Vamps . . . Oh, My! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas—at least that’s Delilah Street’s hope. With Sin City’s vampire and werewolf mobs wanting to cash in her chips once and for all, she’s retreating with her partner Ric Montoya and half-wolfhound Quicksilver to her Kansas birthplace. Unfortunately, when it comes to finding trouble, there’s no place like home. . . . It doesn’t take long before Delilah realizes she’s not in Vegas anymore. Zombie cowboys and spectral cattle drives are kicking up dust, the local weather girls are total witches who forecast perfect storms, and some Hollywood fanatic is recasting zombies as the greatest stars of the silver screen. And speaking of silver, Delilah’s special affinity for the all-purpose monster-repellent leads her posse straight down a silver brick road—and into a notso- fun house of mirrors—putting her face-to-face with her dicey past and a mystery woman named Lilith, who’s a real dead ringer for Delilah. The key word being dead. Zusammenfassung Zombies and Witches and Vamps . . . Oh, My! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas—at least that’s Delilah Street’s hope.
