The Whammer Jammers: chicks on wheels, dirty deals, and everything you never dared ask about roller derby. Suspended after a “questionable” shooting, Hartford cop Tracy “Trash” Hendrix hires on to protect the local skaters from vandals while they prepare for a match to fund a women’s shelter. He suspects a skater’s ex-boyfriend, but the guy has an alibi when that shelter gets torched—and an even better one when he turns up dead. Then a skater is killed in a drive-by, and Hendrix knows someone plays rougher than the roller girls. Unless he can figure out who it is before the match begins, the wheels really will come off.

For a romance writer, murder is the ultimate kiss-off... In Who Wrote The Book of Death? someone wants to finish off the writer instead of the book. When PI Zach Barnes agrees to protect a woman from death threats, he assumes that her name isn't really Taliesyn Holroyd. Unfortunately, he also assumes she really is writing a novel. She assumes that he's stopped drinking after his own wife's murder. What else they don't know could bury them both along with the book.

Who Wrote The Book of Death?

Anywhere else, fifteen will get you twenty. Along the turnpike, fifteen will get you dead. When beautiful fifteen-year-old Stacy Kendall disappears, her wealthy parents hire Hartford PI Zach Barnes to find her. Barnes fears that the girl is dead…until a brunette who looks like her shows up in a security video outside a sleazy motel room. Inside that room, a man lies dead. Overnight, Stacy turns from a kidnap victim to a murder suspect—and her parents’ worst nightmare. To save the girl, Barnes invades a thriving trade in teen sex-trafficking, blackmail, and murder. Getting in is easy. Now he has to get back out.

Cherry Bomb

On Monday, Principal Peter Galvin welcomes the committee that will evaluate Ribicoff High School for accreditation—just as someone guns down a student outside the main entrance. On Tuesday, homicide cop Abigail Teague tells him she fears that the shooting will incite a gang war. On Wednesday, student teacher Kim Dombrowik finds drugs in a student’s locker, and there’s a riot in the school cafeteria. Thursday really sucks. And the evaluation committee won’t leave until Friday… The novel follows a principal, a student teacher and a female homicide detective on their journeys through the minefields of poverty, racism, and local politics to find a killer and stave off a full-scale gang war. While Laura Lippman's To The Power of Three and Jody Picoult's Nineteen Minutes have also dealt with a school shooting, Liskow, a former teacher, is the first to look at how such tragic events impact the teachers and students who inhabit the building and how the tragedy will change everyone who is involved, sometimes for the better, but usually for the worse.
