Fun City Saga — James Newman

ALL FIVE of the infamous JOE DYLAN detective series in ONE book. JOE DYLAN is from the old school. His nerves are shot to pieces, and he's trying to keep his life together in a tropical criminal's paradise where nothing is ever what it seems on the surface... This series of neo-noir novels have been translated into several languages, adapted for television and film, recorded and dramatized on stage, and talked about in dive bars from Bangkok to Belarus. For the first time and for a limited period the entire Dylan Saga is available in one simple download or in one mammoth paperback book. JAMES NEWMAN writes with a flamethrower. He's terrifically gifted, enormously energetic, and in THE WHITE FLAMINGO he builds up, layer by layer, like lacquer, the everyday reality of FUN CITY with such intensity that he creates a nightmare town so terrible that even the advent of a modern-day Jack the Ripper can only make it a tiny bit worse. Newman has serious talent, devoted (in this case, anyway) almost entirely to the noir side of life in a city that has more than its share of noir.- Edgar nominee Timothy Hallinan TAKE THE Matrix red pill and then follow his detective into a world of conman, cheaters, schemers, wanderers, and the lost who scramble over women, money, and status. Newman translates their voices, failures, nightmares, and movements. He covers their community, and transcript their stories into prose that match the tempo of their hatred and madness.-Christopher G. Moore, author of the Vincent Calvino seriesHARD-BOILED pulp fiction pumped up to the max. A lethal cocktail of graphic violence, booze, drugs and sex. It's bright lights and dark shadows and it's certainly not for the fainthearted.- Paul Brazill - crime noir author.
