Описание:

A pair of violent mystery novels starring London detective Scott Mitchell, the groundbreaking PI who introduced Britain to hardboiled crime fiction.

Junkyard Angel starts with Scott Mitchell deciding to sneak into a flat he's supposed to be watching from across the road to avoid freezing to death. It's the worst decision he'll ever make. He's just stepped inside when a blackjack cracks him across the skull, and he crashes to the floor, unconscious. When he comes to, he finds a photo of a beautiful woman--and a dead girl lying on the bed. Mitchell has fallen face-first into a murder scene, and it won't be long before he's wishing he'd frozen instead.

In Neon Madman, Mitchell is trying to stay out of trouble by doing some safe, sleazy divorce work--so why is somebody trying to kill him? When a West Indian man bursts into his office threatening to tear him apart, Mitchell talks him down before the man is able to breaks any of his limbs--or, God forbid, his camera--but he still hasn't got a clue who the intruder is, or how he's tied up in the adultery case. And when this supposedly simple case goes from quick and easy to slow and deadly, Mitchell will have to move fast if he wants to stay alive.

Written in the tradition of Raymond Chandler and John D. MacDonald, Junkyard Angel and Neon Madman are hardboiled classics. From the pen of the creator of legendary sleuth Charlie Resnick, these two novels hit as hard as a double bourbon--or two bullets to the skull.

Praise for the Scott Mitchell Mysteries
"Harvey's police procedurals are in a class by themselves--near Dickensian in their portrayal of human frailty; cinematic in their quick changes of scene and character; totally convincing in their plotting and motivation." --Kirkus Reviews on Cutting Edge

Praise for John Harvey
"If John Harvey's novels were songs, Charlie Parker would play them." --The New York Times Book Review

"Harvey reminds me of Graham Greene, a stylist who tells you everything you need to know while keeping the prose clean and simple. It's a very realistic style that draws you into the story without the writer getting in the way." --Elmore Leonard

John Harvey (b. 1938) is an incredibly prolific British mystery writer. The author of more than one hundred books, as well as poetry and scripts for television and radio, Harvey did not begin writing professionally until 1975. Until then he was a teacher, educated at Goldsmiths College, London, who taught literature, drama, and film at colleges across England. After cutting his teeth on paperback fiction, Harvey debuted his most famous character, Charlie Resnick, in 1989's Lonely Hearts, which the English Times called one of the finest crime novels of the century.

A police inspector noted for his love of both sandwiches and jazz, Resnick has starred in eleven novels and one volume of short stories. The BBC has adapted two of the Resnick novels, Lonely Hearts and Rough Treatment (1990), for television movies. Both starred Academy Award-nominated actor Tom Wilkinson and had screenplays written by Harvey. Besides writing fiction, Harvey spent over twenty years as the head of Slow Dancer Press. He continues to live and write in London.

Описание:

"Harvey is two years old. He has green eyes, red hair, and lots of freckles.
Harvey likes to laugh, run, and play.
Harvey can be stubborn when he wants his way.
Mommy and Daddy say that sometimes Harvey is a monster."

Monster Tails is the beginning of a series that focuses on the poor choices that toddlers tend to make in the "terrible twos" years when temper tantrums abound. Harvey is a typical 2-year-old who handles a simple need much differently than that of his older family members. As Harvey's behavior escalates, he transforms from a stubborn little boy into a ferocious little monster. At the end of the book, Harvey must make the right choice in order to solve his problem. Consequently, the reader gets to enjoy seeing him transform back into his toddler boy self after his behavior improves.

This book invites not only comedy but may also be used as an educational tool for young children in how to handle their daily struggles. Parents and children alike should enjoy watching Harvey take form as he learns from his choices and how his behavior can be applied to real everyday life.
