...Comes Bird, a man who means it and doesn't apologize. Perfectly romantic and perfectly heartless, your protagonist negotiates the shadows with wit and charm. Lion's first will keep your warm when you need a jacket, and feed ya, like a sandwich.

Michael Lion's debut novel should be on the shortlist of any crime fiction aficionado. Lion creates an atmosphere dripping with dread. The protagonist, Bird, has enough morality to make him likeable, and enough of an edge to make him interesting. Fans of Raymond Chandler will enjoy this modern take on sun-baked Los Angeles. The novel was released by a new publishing outfit called New Pulp Press. They've produced some interesting crime fiction, especially for those of us who have gotten bored of the same generic mysteries and crime capers.

Lion captures the crime genera bringing his characters to life on the dark streets of LA and HNL. Complicated and captivating-when is the next Bird novel coming out?
