Pipsqueak - Garth Carson 1
A New York taxidermy/collectibles dealer and his gal Angie are at odds with a swing-band conspiracy to undo the information age. It all centers on the murder of a biker, a mysterious brawny red head and a stolen TV squirrel puppet named Pipsqueak.

Stuffed - Garth Carson 2
Leaping fishes. Prowling bobcats. Mute moose heads....These are the things that fill Garth Carson’s life, as he buys, sells and rents exotic taxidermy from his funky New York City storefront. But now, Garth and his gal Angie have acquired the most dangerous stuffed critter in the world: a certain white crow in a bell jar that Angie practically swoons over—and that other people are dying to get their hands on.

Tailed - Garth Carson 3
Everybody's favorite taxidermy dealer Garth Carson is back and caught up in ritualistic serial killings of big game hunters - by their own trophies! Angie, Otto and Nicholas are along for a bumpy ride that takes them through America's heartland, a journey punctuated by the importance of cheese curds.

Feelers - Morty Martinez 1
Morty Martinez is a “feeler”; he empties homes in Brooklyn for resale and hopes to find stashes of cash left by deceased occupants who didn’t trust banks. He also lives in hope that a big find will allow him to assume “his birthright,” a hacienda in Baja California befitting his conquistador ancestry.

Ringer - Morty Martinez 2
Charged with recovering a sacred relic for his La Paz diocese, Morty Martinez (of Feelers fame) hunts down a gold ring on the finger of New York City billionaire Robert Tyson Grant.

Buy Back
Tom Davin is a Brooklyn insurance investigator in a jam. His girlfriend split and stuck him with four cats and a debt to a ruthless loan shark. He arranges an art theft to cover the debt - only somebody swipes the paintings from his crew.

Crooked
Nicholas Palihnic is taxidermy collector Garth Carson’s black-sheep brother, a natty, tweed-suited hustler who knows every nook and cranny of New York—and a thousand ways to a break a girl’s heart.

Sleep with the Fishes
After a prison stretch and early release, prominent mob turncoat Sydney Bifulco retires to a cabin on the Delaware River to fulfill his dream of the quiet, rural life where he can pursue his newfound passion for fly fishing. He soon finds it's a lot more difficult than it looks in the magazines, especially with forces from his past trying either to whack him or woo him.


The Clause
Jewel thieving partners Gill Underwood and Trudy Elwell have been set up, and Trudy has paid with her life. Working for Cubans and abiding by their code of conduct means Underwood is left on his own, holding $150 million worth of hot sparks.
