Two for the Show

Two for the Show…A Brief Synopsis

Max Morgan is his name. Private dicking is his game. But lays have been few and far between prior to him being approached by a female classmate at a 30th high school reunion.  – Most reunion participants are motivated to reminisce about their old school days or wickedly remember their pranks. Not Max.  – For some the occasion dramatizes a festering need to bring unfinished business to a head. In this case prime examples would be members of an in-crowd clique of bad boys known as the Motley Crew.  Some return to the bosom of alma mater with intent to show  off and settle old scores. This would aptly describe Billie Jean Biggs, well-endowed class vamp.  In other words, while Max takes on Case of Rats in a Basement with dread of re-living his adolescent past, in the course of his investigation into suspicious goings-on he is confronted by middle-aged contemporaries within whom a teenager is desperate to escape the surly bonds of adulthood.

The Moon That Fell from Heaven…A Brief Synopsis

The Grave Listeners

The Grave Listeners…A Brief Synopsis

A tale maudit set in a time when medicine was part superstition and partly an appeal to ancient authorities, and the prospect of being buried alive was frightfully more common. In that horrible situation, your only hope was that a Grave Listener sitting at your grave would be there to hear your cries for help.

In an old, poor village, on a cemetery on a hill, a loutish Grave Listener, an impish five-year-old boy and his little stuffed Bunny are up against a strange plague, a soigné stranger, and a frightened, vengeful village. It will be a depraved little journey, with all its Witchcraft, savagery and comedies of human nature, that tumbles to a towering end.

A Friend of King Neptune

A Friend of King Neptune…A Brief Synopsis

1991 ST LOUIS — Leo Kraszewski aka Dingus has come to visit his old army pal, Francis Lenihan, now a busy process server. It’s been 18 years but Dingus is still the same—impulsive, foolish, quick with a wisecrack, uncouth yet worldly.

Dingus leans on Francis to accompany him to Southern Illinois, the town of Bunting, where spoils from World War II—the Speer Collection—may lie hidden in a peculiar private museum. Francis declines and soon, after causing trouble in Francis’ ribald world, Dingus finds himself hitchhiking in the Illinois cornfields—an odyssey which has him nearly sucked into a tornado, having to deal with a suicidal Indian, a malevolent sheriff’s deputy, and a crew of wastrels who inhabit an old general store.

The story has legs as Dingus aka Hercules is given a task by Anselm, the museum’s curator and a stand-in for King Eurystheus of yore, to retrieve a stolen historical artifact. Dingus does Anselm’s bidding, at a dear price, and of course it’s never enough. Meanwhile Dingus’ court date for cannabis distribution looms. Will Francis wrangle a lawyer for his penniless friend? Will Dingus sort through various confusing clues and get his mitts on the treasure? And more importantly, when will he stop itching?

An eclectic cast of characters join in—a high school detective, the next Nancy Drew; a raffish voodooist; a scholarly recluse whose solitude is rudely interrupted, a bawdy masseuse, an angry rapper and his entourage, and the beer-soaked regulars at Murphy’s Tavern in Dogtown St. Louis. The usual suspects in an unusual story.
