Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divorcing the devil landed me in between two demons. When my ex-husband threatened to destroy everything I'd worked for, I sought help from an old flame. Sawyer was less than thrilled to be my attorney, so I sweetened the deal by promising him the one thing he truly wanted... revenge against my ex's lawyer... Sawyer's stepbrother. Sawyer Prince and Pierce Samuels were stepbrothers with a past and dueling law firms, on top of their contempt for each other. The scheme was simple. I bring down Sawyer's brother, Pierce, and we'd make my ex pay in court. But before I knew it, I found myself tangled in the lives and sheets of two powerful men. I was crossing major lines by not only sleeping with my own attorney... but with Pierce Samuels, the opposing counsel, as well. When feelings become involved and the truth is stranger than fiction... things heat up in the bedroom and the courtroom. Court is in session and my knees are weak as three men stare at me on the stand, hungry for different things... What will the judge rule, and what will I decide when secret alliances are revealed?

Book excerpt: "This novel should come not with blurbs but with a hazardous-material warning: There's bone and gristle here, be ready for that taste in your mouth you can't spit out. First words to last, it's strong stuff." —James Sallis, author of Drive The first novel to appear in English by the "subway janitor by night, novelist by day," who began his writing career while an undocumented immigrant in the United States, Like Flies from Afar will demonstrate why K. Ferrari is already an award-winning star of international crime fiction. A hardboiled noir thriller, a whodunit, a black comedy, and a filthy catalog of the excesses of wealth, this is a Jim Thompson novel for the globalized world. Mr. Luis Machi is an unforgettably loathsome and hilarious Argentinian oligarch who made his fortune collaborating with the worst elements of society—parasites, pushers, and secret policemen. He has a cocaine habit, a collection of three hundred ties, ten million dollars in the bank, and a bloody corpse in the trunk of his BMW . . . but as far as the body goes, he's completely innocent. He has no idea who the victim could be, or who among his many, many enemies might be trying to frame him for murder, and he doesn't have much time to find out . . . The profane and uproarious Like Flies from Afar follows Machi through twenty-four hours of his eventful life—one full day in which to solve this mystery, or at least to make sure he isn't the one to take the fall.

With little homicide experience, Maggie and her partner, Trooper Hollis Jones, find themselves thrust into the murder investigation. And when a third man turns up dead, Maggie fears it's only a matter of time before the killer strikes again. As they race to piece together what happened, Maggie and Hollis discover a tangled web of theft, deceit and deals gone bad.
