Private-Eye Nathaniel Rose has seen it all--from dead strippers to exploding Mustangs to blackmailing lovers. After a brief tour of Korea and ten years as a cop, Rose now walks the dark side of the street, handling cases in St. Louis, Missouri. Whether it takes brains, brawn, or bullets to solve a case, Rose knows exactly what to do. With friends on both sides of the law and a hardboiled sense of justice to guide him, Rose takes the most difficult cases to heart. And solves them.

PSI COPS / Geeks and freaks. / That's what Detective Sergeant Tony Carvelli thinks of Psi Cops until he's faced with a sadistic serial killer who leaves no evidence behind. / In a near-future St. Louis, after sexually-transmitted diseases have been eliminated and sex without commitment is a lifestyle for much of the population, Carvelli investigates the deaths of women dismembered in their own bedrooms. / Carvelli still believes in the old values: love before sex and investigation before technology. When Psi Cop Colleen Allison is assigned to the case against his wishes -- thanks to his new partner, recently-promoted Detective Phil Palmer -- Carvelli resents her and everything she represents. / Fighting against time and against each other, Carvelli, Palmer, and Allison struggle to find the killer before he strikes again.

(THEY’RE DYING IN THE FLESHPITS IN THE WINDY CITY. THEY’RE...)
THEY’RE DYING IN THE FLESHPITS IN THE WINDY CITY. THEY’RE ALL WHITE GIRLS One young woman is missing. Another is dead. They were drawn to Windy City like moths to a flame, but the city’s bright lights can’t illuminate every dark corner. Hidden in the alleys and back streets and in a three-block long stretch of strip clubs and adult book stores are the men who prey on young women like these: the pedophiles, pimps, and pornographers. When former partners, unlicensed private investigator Big Dick Rickenbacher and Homicide Lieutenant Salvador Castellano, find their cases overlapping in this violent world of sexual depravity, old flames rekindle, old secrets finally surface, and old crimes demand retribution.

((YA Duet) HIS FRIDAY GIRLS: As if having a hopeless crush...)
(YA Duet) HIS FRIDAY GIRLS: As if having a hopeless crush isn't bad enough, high school sophomore Megan Linders has just been assigned a huge career project that her teacher claims will get her ready for the "real world". Problem is, Megan doesn't know if she wants to get ready for the "real world"-- she'd rather think about a hunky guy with green eyes. JUST IN TIME FOR LOVE: His father writes confessions and jokes, and the biggest joke of all is his name--Justin Tyme. But Jay, as he prefers to be called, hasn't had much to laugh about in the years since his mother died. His father retreats into an alcohol-hazed world of denial and self-pity, reversing their care-giver roles, and forcing Jay to grow up virtually on his own.
