Why would a dead man need an alibi? Bug and Roche work for the National Detective Agency. They solve mysteries for a living using well established, step-by-step procedures - and plenty of wisecracks, insults and bad office coffee. When they're sent to check out a suspicious car crash involving an already dead driver, they smell something fishy. They quickly work out the crash was part a much larger crime - a multimillion-dollar-bank heist. But unravelling the connections isn't easy - especially when more people start dying - and the coffee isn't getting any better. Witty and wise, with a nod to the golden age of pulp fiction, Alibi for a Dead Man is an ingenious novel by a talented newcomer.

Big Murder on Campus is the first book in the Wilson Toney soft-boiled mystery series. The series is about common every day people that happen to be investigators for the National Detective Agency. The series is about the interaction between these everyday people that are just doing a job for money, and the people that resent the doing of that job. The book is caustic and not at all realistic, but it is funny. If you want a quick, easy read that will make you smile a lot and guffaw every now and again, then this series and this book is for you. If you want tough guys, that use guns and fists, and are constantly at risk from the femme fatale, then go elsewhere for your reading enjoyment, as this definitely ain't it. If you want cool sleuth analysis, where the genius knows the boiling point of lead and upon that the bad guy is discerned, this ain't it. If you want to read a book that takes itself not a bit seriously, and enjoy how Roach and Bug dog people with their less than amiable style then this is the book for you. Buy it. The author wants to retire.

NOT WORTH THAT MUCH It starts with Bug and Roche being called up to investigate a late night car accident. A guy named Claude Farrady is t-boned in his Buick and his gas tank explodes. The body is too badly burned to determine whether the accident killed him, or the fire. But Royal Insurance has a Key Personnel policy on him for five million. The payer on the policy is Brotherhood Mutual. They want National, the company that Bug and Roche work for, to check it out because this is the third Key Personnel policy they've paid out to Royal this year. When they visit Royal, everything looks legit. But when they visit Mr. Farraday's widow, they get a quick brush-off. It turns out that Claude is her third husband. Every three years she marries a new man, and every three years her new husband suddenly dies. Coincidence? Maybe. But it's up to Bug and Roche to find out if husband number three's death is the unfortunate accident it appears to be, or if perhaps they have a black widow on their hands... Plus, something is fishy in the pharmaceutical business in MONEY IS THE DRUG OF CHOICE, the second Bug & Roche mystery is this double volume of criminous commotion from Wilson Toney!
