Nursery rhymes describe crimes (3 blind mice, pussy in the well), but there is a solution. Hasp Deadbolt, P.I., finds it.
$11 from the publisher when it's released later this month; $14 postpaid from me, inscribed or signed, as soon as I get the copies.
Praise from satisfied customers:
"Oh my God, he's so handsome! And he convinced my sheep to come back."
--Bo Peep, independent business owner
And reviewers:
[Nursery Rhyme Noir] goes down smooth and fierce as a good whiskey, but if you check the bottom of your glass you’ll find more grit than a cup of Turkish coffee. This is Mother Goose by way of Dashiell Hammett, the Brothers Grimm as published in the pages of Black Mask.
--Lon Prater
When Humpty Dumpty is murdered, who you gonna call?
Update: Three copies left! $10 postpaid, paypal to jopnquog@gmail.com.

Is this a collection of poems, a collection of short stories, or a prose novel/novella?
Any similarity to Gaimen's "Four and Twenty Blackbirds"?
