The Animals After Midnight: A Darby Holland Crime Novel
Summary
In this third novel in the Darby Holland Crime Novel series, Darby's past rises up to do more than haunt him. You can run, but in the information age you can only hide for so long. Midnight Rider Productions is a dark-web nightmare machine, headed by the one man who years ago drove Darby to hide in the seamy environs of Old Town and make his life there. But Darby left his own mark back in the day, and the shadowy head of production has a grudge to settle. Rider has found him at long last and plans to make an example of him. Every dark secret of Darby's is exposed, every triumph reversed, every dream made real is set on fire, and as the Feds circle, smelling blood in the water, Darby has to run the most brutal rear-guard action in the history of crime-meets-crime and gamble that he has finally grown powerful enough, crazy enough, and hard enough to beat the devil himself. Meanwhile, his best friend and should-be lover, Delia, is about to be married to someone with his own dark secrets. With the help of his friends new and old, Darby must save Delia and himself and the rest of the Lucky Supreme faithful as he plays one force against another with desperate brilliance in an epic conflict that rages through the dark underbelly of Portland, Oregon.

A Long Crazy Burn
Summary
The second in the series of funny noir crime novels set in Portland, Oregon’s seedy side, featuring Darby Holland, owner of The Lucky Supreme tattoo parlor, and his slightly mad side kick - the twiggy, vinyl clad tattoo artist, Delia Time is up in Old Town. As the pace of gentrification reaches frenzy in Portland, Oregon, Darby Holland’s beloved tattoo parlor, Lucky Supreme, is destroyed by a bomb that ripped through an entire city block. Only a warning call from his favorite prostitute saved his life. Developers have been like wolves at the door of Dmitri (the drunken landlord) for the past few years, but this is different. With nothing to lose, Darby goes on a rampage to discover first the bomber then the developer who set everything in motion, and along the way falls under FBI suspicion, messes with dangerous pimps and drug lords, gets his face permanently rearranged, and, then, at the lowest point in his adult life, Darby Holland meets the woman of his dreams. Long, lanky, smart, and a foot taller than Darby, Suzanne is a woman of enormous appetite. Darby has finally met his match in bed and at the dinner table. But Suzanne, for all her strength and wisdom, can’t save Darby from his enemies. Fortunately, Delia (Darby’s tiny vinyl clad side-kick) and her punk-rock boyfriend’s band can, and in one of the most outrageous capers in crime fiction, Darby, Big Mike, Nigel, and Flaco (Lucky Supreme faithfuls) impersonate restaurant staff to brilliantly orchestrate a kidnapping of a Russian crime boss, making full use of an Armenian smuggling operation to pave the way for justice and the resurrection of the Lucky Supreme.

Lucky Supreme
Summary
In una Portland plumbea e in balìa di una selvaggia gentrificazione, Lucky Supreme, lo squallido negozio di tatuaggi, resta un'istituzione. Il locale vanta decenni di storia ed è ormai un'enorme croce nera sulla mappa mentale della brulicante vita notturna della Città Vecchia. Ma per quanto tempo ancora riuscirà a sopravvivere? Al suo interno, Darby Holland, quarantenne tormentato da demoni del passato pronti a condurlo sull'orlo della pazzia, nasconde preziosi bozzetti e segreti inconfessabili. E se finora Lucky Supreme si è rivelato il luogo ideale per tenerli al sicuro, quando uno dei suoi disegni gli viene rubato e riappare in California, Darby è costretto a utilizzare ogni mezzo, lecito e non, per difendere il suo locale, la sua reputazione e, non ultima, la sua salute mentale. Ciò che ancora non sa, però, è di avere a che fare con gente con la quale è meglio non scherzare. In un mondo popolato da indimenticabili abitanti della notte, in cui denaro, bugie e crimine la fanno da padroni, Darby dovrà contare su tutte le proprie abilità e su una buona dose di fortuna per poter rimanere in vita... Un noir di pura adrenalina, una corsa contro il tempo dalla prima all'ultima pagina. >> Questo audiobook in edizione integrale vi è offerto in esclusiva per Audible ed è disponibile solamente in formato audio digitale.

Lucky Supreme: A Novel of Many Crimes
Summary
The night world of Old Town, Portland, Oregon, has gone mad in the grip of gentrification, and at the center of it all is Lucky Supreme, a seedy tattoo parlor, whose proprietor is a street-bred artist with a unique approach to problem solving. Darby Holland has enough on his radar, but when some flash (tattoo artwork) stolen from him resurfaces in California, he can't help himself. His efforts to reclaim it set him on a dangerous path, dragging along his delightfully eccentric colleagues, including the brains behind his brawn, Delia, a twiggy, vinyl-clad punk genius secretly from the other side of the tracks. No one knows why the art signed "Roland Norton, Panama, 1955" is worth anything or how it came to hang on the walls of a tattoo shop in Portland. Only the deranged former owner can say - and he's not talking. Before the wrecking balls swing through Old Town in the name of "progress", Darby must settle old scores and face new demons to save his reputation, his shop, and his sanity. When cash, lies, crime, and history collide, Darby will need his ramshackle skill set, his wits, and a lot of luck to rise to the top of a human food chain, or be eaten alive. Lucky Supreme is an intuitive thrill ride from start to finish in the spirit of Elmore Leonard and Dennis Lehane. It is the first of a trilogy featuring Darby Holland, Delia, and the other unforgettable nocturnal residents of Old Town.
