WELCOME TO HOLSTENWALL CITY
Isabella Aznavour doesn't just hold the stage every night at Club Baraka, belting out jazz numbers backed by her effortlessly cool Sinnermen... she is also the best safe cracker in town.
Stefano Magellan is a cop on the take and in way over his head with the sharks. But he has a plan - Magellan knows that somewhere in the city is a hidden vault that is the answer to all his problems. All he needs is someone to crack it for him.
Herbie Bird is pretty much just a trumpet player, down on his luck. He doesn't even have a gun...but he's got heart and sometimes that can get you far. It can also get you in trouble with jazz singers, safe crackers and crooked cops.
'That Aznavour Melody' is a left field post-modern crime story concerning a trumpet player and a jazz singer mixed up in a genre they want out of. Fast, freewheeling and fun, this book is a love letter to European cinema of the 60s and 70s
Some men still hear Hector's words echoing across time. floating through their dreams...chiming in their hearts. "Let me not then die ingloriously and without a struggle, but let me first do some great thing that shall be told among men hereafter." And so these men, at the herald of war and glory, take up arms and into the fray they leap.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN...
Stranger, come sit with me at the bar and share some of this wine. Dion will replenish us when this carafe is done. I have a tale to tell, if you will indulge me - yes, I am one of those rambling drunks, one of those poor fools who twist and turn and would talk to the wind if the wind would listen. But this drunk has something of worth to impart, if you will indulge me. A story of high action, adventure and adversity. How I came to know this tale isn't important, but it did happen - every word I speak is the truth. These twelve days of violence, betrayal, hope and love really did happen. So, stranger, pull your barstool over and let's drink Dion's wine and let my tale of the twelve days of games begin.
'12 Days of Games' is an epic action thriller set in a crime-ridden city. Gangs roam the streets, causing havoc and mayhem wherever they see it. But the Gods are watching, displeased at the wanton violence - violence that does yield fealty to their eternal power and love. And so, high up in their skyscraper, they set about a trap to fell the disloyal, and honour the just.
