Fiction

Deadly Deals by Fern Michaels. I misread this title at Deadly Seals. Now that would be a novel. Maybe the seals could fight crocodiles.

First Lord's Fury by Jim Butcher. Part of a series. The guy on the cover is a Roman-legionnaire-looking-dude with a flaming sword.

Breathless by Dean Koontz. Koontz writes another novel with a dog in it. The dog silhouette on the cover looks like an Irish Wolfhound. The flyleaf says I am right.

Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton. A tale of violence in 1665 in the Caribbean that, according to the flyleaf, was finished before Crichton keeled over.

Hollywood Moon by Joseph Wambaugh. I use to to read all of Wambaugh's Southern California cop novels. Then Wambaugh started to focus on non-fiction and I just never got back into his novels.
