Two More Tacos, a Beretta .32, and a Pink Butterfly

Tue, 08 Feb 2022 22:11:10 +0200

When a brutal mob hit occurs inside the victim's bedroom, and the killer isn't careful enough to look under the bed to make sure there aren't any witnesses, there are consequences—namely, a naked blonde witness who is able to escape the apartment. This blonde is only seen from behind. Aside from being petite, she has one distinguishing feature: a pink butterfly tattoo on her right ass cheek.

Lance, the guy in Chicago you hire when you have this type of problem, is given the near impossible task of tracking down this mysterious blonde with the pink butterfly tattoo, and follows next are a series of double-crosses and betrayals leading to a shocking finale.

From Publishers Weekly

In Zeltserman's unconvincing third thriller (after Fast Lane), Cambridge, Mass., detective Bill Shannon dreads every February 10th, the anniversary of the day his mother was brutally murdered in their California home when Bill was 13. Around the anniversary, Bill suffers from debilitating blackouts that often cause long stretches of amnesia. As the 20th anniversary approaches, the blackouts become more severe, disrupting Bill's work and home life. Soon he's spiraling out of control, unsure how to tell reality from nightmare. A series of gruesome slayings have Bill questioning whether he himself could be responsible and terrified that Herbert Winters, his mother's killer, has come back to claim him. Crime novelists from Robert B. Parker to Dennis Lehane have found fertile ground in a similar premise and setting, but Zeltserman falls short of their standard. Bill Shannon lacks the depth required for a character who walks the line between victim and potential killer, and instead collapses into stereotype.

From

A compellingly clever wheels-within-wheels thriller, Zeltserman's new novel blends genres in a subtle mix that will appeal to both mystery and horror fans. Police detective Bill Shannon's dreams are being invaded by images of horrific violence, but the source of the intrusion remains shadowed until the harrowing conclusion of the novel, a homage to the Australian Aboriginal concept of "Dreamtime." The reader will be kept guessing as to whether the psychologically hammered cop is being revisited by his own guilt or whether there's an outside factor involved in his recurring visions of murdering his own mother. The resolution of the novel clearly indicates the possibility of sequels to come, so if you want to get in on the ground floor, now's the time. An ingenious plot, skillfully executed. Elliott Swanson

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 09:15:59 +0200

Denver private eye Johnny Lane is so busy he has to contract out his overflow cases. When a young woman approaches him to find her birth parents, he's willing to take the case for almost nothing. Almost. It would be a breath of fresh air after all the lowlife cases he's now stuck with . . . and there is something about the woman. the last thing Johnny expects is the path the case leads him down. As the chasm between words and reality grows wider, past and present deeds start unraveling with deadly force. "For those of us who believed Jim Thompson would never be equaled, great tidings, he's back in the form of Dave Zeltserman. Hilarious in the darkest fashion, violent, bitter, psychotic and unputdownable...

FAST LANE left me bruised, battered and exhilarated." KEN BRUEN
