FBI agent Lily Yu is in North Carolina
with her lover and mate, Rule Turner, Lu Nuncio of the Nokolai werewolf clan. He
is there to take custody of his son from the boy's grandmother. It's a purely
personal trip until Rule, in wolf form, finds three bodies in a shallow grave.
They carry the stench of death magic, which makes the murders a federal crime.
Lily takes charge of the investigation and soon realizes that nothing adds up-
not the motives or the main suspect, who is behind bars when death strikes
again.But murder, however bizarre, is an everyday affair for Lily, who
was a homicide cop before being recruited into the FBI's Magical Crimes
Division. A more personal shock arrives in the form of Rule's son's mother. Why
would she now challenge Rule's plan to bring his son to live among the Nokolai?
But family matters must take a backseat when the violence escalates, and there's
no rhyme or reason for the next strike- by a killer who may not even be of this
world.About the AuthorEileen Wilks is a national bestselling author and a three-time RITA Award finalist, and has been nominated for a Career Achievement Award by Romantic Times. Views: 38

From Publishers WeeklyStarred Review. From the author of the short fiction collection Based on a True Story comes a vibrant, hilarious addition to the genre of mob tragicomedy. Twenty-year-old Russell Newhouse, a quick-witted scholar and skirt-chaser, has New York's organized crime scene thrust upon him by a man called Shushan "Shoeshine" Cats, who interrupts a meeting of a Brooklyn Jewish men's society where Russell is serving as secretary. Shushan is in need of a favor and promptly takes Russell under his wing. What ensues is a classic boy-meets-mob story: part noir, part comedy, part epic. Kestin's richly layered characters-a monstrously obese German organized crime attorney named Frit von Zeppelin, a Jewish Texan who speaks in malapropisms, a dentist who anglicizes or Yiddishizes his name depending on his mood-are straight out of Dickens; his vivid attention to the details of place, New York, and time, 1963, is like poetic journalism; and his snappy, concise prose and dialogue is on par with Raymond Chandler. Kestin zips through Russell's sexual trysts, dealings in back rooms of Little Italy restaurants, and encounters with historical events like the JFK assassination with unflagging humor and insight. Review"The Iron Will of Shoeshine Cats just may be the best book you never read. Think The Godfather on laughing gas, or Catch-22 with guns. It's also as good a novel about life in the 60s as you'll ever pick up. Witty, sexy, thrilling, and all story. You can't put the damn thing down. If you're still one of the blessed who reads for pleasure, get this book, because it's a pleasure to read."—Stephen King Views: 38
