Mac McKenzie #9: Curse of the Jade Lily
Autographing at Uncle Edgar's on Saturday, June 9, 1-2pm. The insurance company that paid the settlement that made Mac rich wants a favor. There's been a theft at a local art museum - a valuable piece of jade with a history going back to the Qing Dynasty, rumored to bear a curse that has ruined or killed everyone who ever owned it. There's been a ransom demand. The only condition is that Mac has to be the go-between. He agrees to help, but what started out as a simple ransom becomes complicated when other parties - including the State Department and a mysterious woman calling herself Heavenly - ask Mac to turn the gem over to them. When the murdered body of one of the thieves turns up in a snow drift, it looks like the curse has claimed its latest victim. And there may be more to follow . . .

Mac McKenzie #8: Highway 61
Signed by the author on the title page. Rushmore McKenzie is a former cop who occasionally does favors for friends as an unlicensed PI. Now his girlfriend's daughter asks him to help her father, Jason Truhler. Truhler was traveling up Highway 61 to a Canadian blues festival when he met a girl. He awoke hours later from a blackout, in a motel room with the girl's murdered body on the floor. He ducked out and headed back to St. Paul, thinking he'd got away - until he started getting texts with photos of the body and blackmail demands he couldn't pay. McKenzie soon learns that Truhler was set up to be blackmailed. But Truhler's version of events wasn't exactly the truth either. And McKenzie now finds himself trapped in the middle of a very dangerous game, with some of the most powerful men in the state on one side and some of the deadliest on the other.
