 jazzed by a fresh key and an exciting new voice."
 Lee Child on NO TIME TO MOURN


The Pink Tarantula
A Novel in 9 Episodes

Tim Wohlforth


Crip and Henrietta aren't your typical
 California private eyes. Crip's real name
 is Tom Bateman. His sometime sidekick
 with body piercings and spiked green hair,
 Henrietta,  calls him "Crip" because
he rides a wheelchair.  When she isn't
mocking him, Henrietta
 grows marijuana, hangs with jailbirds,
and brings in cases that reek
 of trouble--and weed--at first sniff.
 
In nine closely related episodes, we watch
 their relationship grow as both characters
 struggle to bridge chasms of bitterness
 and mistrust.
