Kill City USA
Warren Roberts
A Joe Milo Mystery
Publisher: Mean Streets Press
It's South Beach, Florida, summertime, and the living's uneasy for laconic Brit private eye Joe Milo. The local Yardies have a contract on him, he's rattled a few urns at a mobster's crematory and funeral home, and he's also managed to irritate an Irish Republican group who are running arms to terrorists. They all have one wish in common — for Joe to get out of town pronto.
Few things interest Milo as much as a sexy woman packing a loaded gun, so enter Cza, a Miami Cuban FBI Special Agent who thinks he should be locked up. Plus there's a Technicolor supporting cast of villains, lovers, liars, killers, cheats, bloodsuckers and miscreant clowns, with morality and political correctness as a fools distraction, and dialogue you could dance to. Soon psychopathic wiseguy Ernie Moresco sends Milo an empty hourglass to be loaded with his ashes, to put the frighteners on him and his enigmatic sidekick Jonah.
While Milo enjoys the elegiac quality of the threat, people around him are tending to die in the mayhem of this wittily tangled crime-noir, as Kill City's about to live up to it's name …

The Bell of Girardius
Warren Roberts
A Joe Milo Mystery
Publisher: Mean Streets Press
Private Eye Joe Milo's hangover wasn't improved by the clients waiting at his London office. The Russian madam's sister was missing — sucked into a supernatural swamp by Satanists and the Forces of Darkness, Olga says. The claimed familial link to Rasputin didn't help his mood either. Nor did Tanya, her ex-Spetsnaz minder with a Soviet attitude.
The first corpse turns up in Paris. He finds it. Actually — he pulled the trigger. The next victim, ritually mutilated, turns up in a garden square near his apartment, addressed to him. The cops aren't impressed by Milo's alibi, with an ex-Police Commissioner the Sergeant in the Occult Order, the Temple of Baphomet (the ungodly idol worshipped by the medieval Knights Templar). The Sergeant's buddy, Grigory Zeltin, is its Grand Master. And he needs a special bell cast for the upcoming carnal rite.
Even then things might have been OK, but Milo falls for Zeltin's daughter. And Joe and his enigmatic sidekick Jonah are about to enter the jaws of hell in this deliciously dark novel.

The Whore of Babylon
Warren Roberts
A Joe Milo Mystery
Publisher: Mean Streets Press
When private eye Joe Milo comes to after being sandbagged in his office, the seductive Cleo arrives to help him recover his pride and convinces him to take on her case. What she doesn't tell him is that she'd been a baglady for the Russian Mob and for a crooked London banker, and she also sidelines as a cage fighter under the moniker The Whore of Babylon, either of which might have warned Milo off.
But being a sucker for a femme fatale, Milo and his sidekick Jonah are soon entangled with a corrupt British MI6 agent, plus an ex-KGB sociopath who runs a criminal empire out of Monaco on behalf of Russia's FSB.
After these two government sponsored crooks combine forces against Joe and Jonah in this cleverly plotted, gripping and sexy thriller, the action transits from London to an explosive showdown in the South of France.
