Barbara Seranella

	NO HUMAN INVOLVED Drug addicted auto mechanic Munch Mancini is trying to clean up her life, but the murder of her abusive father, Flower George, makes that tough, especially since the cops have her pegged as the killer. At first she manages to stay out of the way of the cops, but when she becomes linked to a series of gruesome murders of local working girls the homicide detectives double their efforts to pin the crimes on her.	"This may be the hottest mystery of the year." —Bookline "[A] gripping high-tension ballad of low-life L.A." —L.A. Buzz "A sad, funny ballad to the lowlife, the down-and-out, the hard-luck cases of the world . . . [And] a hymn to courage and doing the right thing." —T. Jefferson Parker author of Californial Girl and Silent Joe "[A] gritty, gripping novel . . . . Surprisingly optimistic and funny." —Orange Country Register

	NO OFFENSE INTENDED Former druggie and alcoholic, Munch Mancini, is working as an auto mechanic and attending meetings at Alcoholics Anonymous when former lover "Sleaze" John pays a visit to ask a favor. She tries to stay out of trouble, but this "friend" from the past draws her into temptation and makes her a person of interest in several murders.	"No Offense Intended is really a wonderful book. Barbara Seranella has masterfully woven an intricate and fast-moving story around a set of fully drawn and engaging characters. You feel the truth in all of them. But the real truth and the real story here is Munch Mancini's noble struggle for survival in a harsh world. You can't help but take this woman—and this book—to heart." —Michael Connelly "Inexplicably endearing." —Los Angeles Times

Bill Moody

	THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPET Evan Horne is still recovering from a hand injury when his friend Ace Buffington asks him to come to Las Vegas to help verify the authenticity of some tapes supposedly made by the legendary trumpet ace Clifford Brown just before his death in a 1956 auto crash. It looks like an interesting break from a depressing routine to Horne, but things quickly go wrong. The man who owns the tapes is killed, and Horne winds up with an old trumpet that might be Brown's and a murder investigation that is turning toward Horne as the prime suspect.	Whether Jazzoid or square, don't miss this one! —Milt Ghivizzani

	LOOKING FOR CHET BAKER Evan Horne, recovering from both the injury to his hand and to his psyche, is on tour in England, hoping to concentrate on music and not on crime. But his old friend Ace Buffington, who’s led him into trouble before, shows up with a contract to write a biography of legendary trumpeter Chet Baker. Baker died from a fall from the window of his hotel room in 1988. Whether he fell, or was pushed is one of the mysteries of the jazz world. Evan resists this adventure until Ace turns up missing and leaves him no choice. To find Ace, he will have to dig into the mysterious death of Chet Baker.	"Was Chet Baker pushed, or did he fly? Sleuthing Amsterdam for the answer, post-bop pianist Evan Horne plays it cool to the point of Zen through underworld investigations and bandstand triumps. So does Author Bill Moody, who writes as an insider of a jazzman's work and world." —Howard Mandel, author of Future Jazz

"A virtuoso performance . . .an artful fusion of jazz and murder." —Jerry Kennealy author of Vintage Polo "A tightly wrapped and well-paced novel. . .fresh and jazzy in more ways than one." —Les Roberts author of The Lemon Chicken Jones
