All 6 of the Smokey Dalton novels are now available in audiobooks, read by Mirron Willis. Click on a cover image for more details on each title.

Kris Nelscott’s award-winning, critically acclaimed mystery series follows black private detective Smokey Dalton from the days around Martin Luther King’s assassination in 1968 forward. Set in real time, against the backdrop of actual historical events, Dalton takes his adopted son Jimmy to Chicago to escape the aftermath of the King assassination. Dalton moves to the South Side, and deals with cases that the Chicago police will not touch. His work has put him in contact with many groups of the time, from the Black Panthers to the Weathermen. Called a “strong, compelling hero” by Publisher’s Weekly, Smokey Dalton faces the difficulties of his time in what Salon calls “the strongest series of detective novels now being written by an American author.”

Mirron Willis is a talented actor who has worked on stage, in movies and on television. He has also voiced books from Walter Mosley to Neil deGrasse Tyson to E. Lynn Harris. According to the author “I listened to all six samples, and realized that somehow Mirron Willis had found the voice in my head.” Mirron’s rich voice and storytelling skills add to an already thrilling mystery series.

In case you hadn’t noticed, we’re very excited about the launch of the latest novel in the Diving Into the Wreck series by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. Which released in all formats in September.

Skirmishes ebook cover

The answers Captain Jonathon “Coop” Cooper and the crew of the Ivoire seek lie in the Boneyards. But they must wait for Boss and her team to dive it, explore the wrecks, and piece together what happened in that faraway place.

Boss loves the challenge. Thousands of ships, centuries of history, all play to her strengths. In her absence, she trusts Coop to defend the Nine Planets Alliance against the Enterran Empire.

But an encounter from Coop’s recent past shows up to haunt him, an encounter he never told Boss about, an encounter that could threaten her future, his life, and the fragile peace between the Alliance and the Empire.

A combination of first-person and third-person narrative and flashback segments makes this a complex and compelling story. It’s like having three tales in one, with an added peek into the bad guys’ activities, all of them intriguing, classic science fiction. It leaves the reader eager to explore this universe again and see what will happen next with these characters. —RT Book Reviews

We’re pleased to announce the release of The Death of Davy Moss in paperback, with great new cover art.

The Death of Davy Moss ebook cover lighter webTEEN IDOL DAVY MOSS DIED ALONE ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD. NO ONE EVER FOUND HIS BODY.

Davy Moss died fifteen years ago, but his fans keep him alive. They “see” him everywhere. They hold reunions, listen to his music over and over again. They encourage him to haunt them.

But Davy Moss already haunts one man. Josh Candless, the man Davy Moss became after that accident. Contractor, loner, a man who makes music in the quiet of his apartment. Until one fateful day when he gives an impromptu performance in a bar.

EMILY LUKOVICH HAS SWORN OFF MEN. THEN SHE HEARS JOSH CANDLESS.

Music promoter Emily Lukovich wants to make Josh Candless a star. She has no idea he’s already been one and run away from it. She has no idea who she has taken on, but she’s afraid she knows why.

She’s falling in love with Josh Candless. Once before Emily mixed business with pleasure, and it ruined her career. A relationship with Josh Candless might destroy her career all over again. And worse, it might destroy her.

Because Davy Moss betrayed everyone he ever knew. And Josh Candless might do the same…

“A joy of clarity and lyricism. She is a new breed of writer: a Renaissance woman.”

Smoke-Filled Rooms ebook cover webOn the run after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., Private Investigator Smokey Dalton and Jimmy, the young boy he rescued, have settled under assumed names in Chicago. But history won’t leave him alone.

His job in security at the Chicago Hilton places him in the center of the protests at the 1968 Democratic Convention. Worse, a killer works his South Side neighborhood, killing children. The Chicago Police Department doesn’t solve crimes in the South Side.

Smokey can’t ignore the crimes, any more than he can ignore the tension building in the city that hot August. He has to take action, before he loses everything.

Chosen as one of the top ten mystery novels of the year by both Deadly Pleasures and Booklist, Smoke-Filled Rooms fulfills the promise of the award-winning Dangerous Road, and makes Smokey Dalton into one of the mystery field’s most memorable detectives.
