the cold case of JACK GEMINI (blurb)

THE SENSATIONAL SEQUEL!

It hadn’t been Jack Gemini’s final case after all!

 

A year has passed since Jack faced the masked man, faced the sordid secrets of the past, and solved the case that was inextricably linked to his own personal history.

 

ASTOUNDING SCI-FI NOIR!

 

A priceless and famous artwork has been stolen… and switched with a near perfect fake!

Private Investigator Jack Gemini must uncover the truth, find out who’s behind the theft of the hideous statue.

 

INCREDIBLE THRILLS!


The most powerful woman on Space Station Delta, and an old enemy, hires Jack to rescue and protect her son from the thrall of enigmatic alien worshippers…

 

STAGGERING MYSTERY!

 

An insane cult, The Church of the Third Encounter, stalks the streets of Space Station Delta… but it’s not the only thing stalking the streets …

A copycat killer!  A killer that’s oddly familiar.

 

FORGERIES AND FRAUDS, CULTS AND KILLERS!

 

Sometimes, a down and out private eye can get lucky and two big cases can come at once; one, a favour for a lover and the other, a godsend from a foe who betrayed him.

 

And it doesn’t help that assassins keep trying to kill him.

 

Jack Gemini must steer clear of distractions, not get drawn into the mystery of a crazy cult, ignore the actions of a killer mimicking someone he knows all too well, and somehow stay alive long enough to solve his two biggest cases.

the final case of JACK GEMINI (blurb)

 

A THRILLING SCI-FI NOIR!

Earth has been used up, spent, depleted; the degenerate and immoral miscreants known as the human race have spread to the twenty-four space stations surrounding its lifeless corpse.
Space Station Delta, a melting pot of iniquity and depravity, was the worst of the lot.
At least, that's what Jack Gemini, private eye and self-proclaimed alcoholic, has decided.
It was the perfect punishment for his sordid and sleazy past, a past he struggled to let go, a past that wouldn't let him go.

SHOCKING TWISTS!

Eight years ago Jack fell into a time vortex and lost five years of his life.
He'd lost his home, his job, his wife...
And now she was back, asking for his help.

GRIPPING MYSTERY!

Stalked by a mysterious masked man and multiple murders, Jack Gemini must search for the husband of the woman he still loves, a professor with links to his own past!
Follow the beleaguered P.I. as the case pulls him from one side of Space Station Delta to the other, and even to Earth itself!

STAGGERING SECRETS REVEALED!

"I was staring into deep space the night she crashed back into my life."

A missing person.
A mysterious masked man.
Murder.

It was all in a night's work for Private Investigator Jack Gemini. But when his ex-wife turns up at his door and a bomber targets his lover's bar, Jack finds himself unravelling a case that will overturn everything he thought was true.

Save the Princess
A knight. A dragon. A princess. What more do you need?
The Hero
Doctor Dynamo, supervillain extraordinaire, seeks revenge against the hero who took his arm and left him to rot in jail.
Under the Bed
There were voices downstairs, muffled. Strange voices. He didn't know how they'd got into the house.
Pithos
Harry and Simon should never have taken the mysterious vase in the first place. It had already claimed Pamela. It had to go back where it came from.

Icing on the Cake
Where better for demons to contemplate humanity than a crowded train station platform?

Death Knocks Thrice for Murder
Lord Forthright has been murdered! A dark stormy night. Five suspects assembled in the drawing room. Was it the butler? The wife? Detective Inspector Mortimer is ready to reveal the killer!
Evil Incorporated
They shouldn't have arrested him; he'd only stood up for what was right. The interview room stank of urine...
First Sight
Pete had only brought Jess along for moral support, but she seemed to delight in teasing him. Was love at first sight real? Or had love been staring him in the face the whole time?
It won’t write itself…
They were going to find out, find out his secret, and now, author E.S. Maker is trapped on this nefarious chat show with its insipid and pushy host.
He had a thing for Virgins
Dating is hard. It sucks. And it sucks even worse when you're a vampire who hasn't been on the dating scene for a couple of centuries.
