BODY COUNT

About the Book

Bodies pile up fast and furiously in this off-tilt, macabre collection of stories from author Darrell James. From "Who Wants To Kill Billy Tingle? (Raise Your Hand)" where a parlor full of jilted women have come together to decide the fate of their philandering lover. To "A Miracle for Father Vega"-where a humble priest decides murder can sometimes be a blessing. The author rounds out his grisly tales with a cast that includes bumbling extortionists, larcenous senior citizens, and lovers on the con, dropping them onto a landscape where murder has become the solution of choice.

"Suspense never had it so good! Darrell James' range is not boxed into one aspect of the mystery genre and his characters are a Cracker Jack box of surprises!"
-Babs Lakey, publisher FMAM 1996-2005, psychological suspense writer.

"Darrell James has created unforgettable characters with stories to please; from the sci-fi flavored Lydia, to the hilarious Sweaty Money, to the horrifying Running in Place. And don't miss the tragic, yet triumphant Motherhouse."
-Sue Ann Jaffarian, author of the award winning Odelia Grey Mystery Series.
