A paranoid thriller in the mind-bending tradition of Philip K. Dick
and The Twilight Zone, THE NEXT TIME I DIE will draw you into its
claustrophobic web of suspense and leave you questioning everything
you think you know. DYING WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING. Steven Blitz
didn't think about his own safety when he saw the man trying to
force a woman into his car. He stepped in to defend her, and got a
knife to the gut for his troubles. But when he wakes up in the
hospital from what should have been a fatal wound, he finds the
whole world changed - a different president in the White House, a
loving family when he'd been on the verge of divorce, more money in
the bank than he's ever seen. There's a dark side, though: in this
world, Steven Blitz is not a good man. And now he's got to get
himself out of serious trouble without even knowing what it is he's
done wrong. "Jason Starr is the first writer of his generation to
convincingly update the modern crime novel by giving it provocative
new spins." -Bret Easton Ellis

woman looking for love can find herself the object of a deadly
obsession. With each meaningless date and disappointing new
boyfriend, Katie Porter is becoming more and more disillusioned. No
matter how wide a net she casts she can't seem to find a guy who
really understands her.But someone thinks she's special - very
special. And he's following her... But it's not her boyfriend,
Andy. The frat-boy who never grew up is too busy working out how
far Katie will go and if her friends are hot, to stop and think
whether Katie's 'the one'. But someone's already decided she is -
and he's watching her. Peter sees Katie at the gym. He sees her at
the coffee bar she stops at on the way to work. In fact, he sees
her almost everywhere, as he quietly follows her. But most of all,
he sees her in his plans for the future. He's got the proposal
worked out, he's even got the ring and their happy home already
bought. After all, he's had enough time to plan things to
perfection - he grew up in the same small town. Surely, after all
these years, he can't let anything stand in his way
Richie Segal's prospects are pretty miserable and, what's more
humiliating, his wife's career is on the up. Richie knows he is a
good salesman, but he just can't seem to land an account. He's
starting to drink again and worry about whether Paula is seeing
that old high school flame or maybe someone new. At thirty-four,
he's a little young for a mid-life crisis, but that's what it feels
like. And then there are those unwelcome memories of the
neighbourhood bully, Michael Rudnick, and what he did to Richie
when he was eleven. . . Just when Richie is about as low as he can
get, he runs into Rudnick on the street and knows exactly what he
needs to do. Suddenly things seem to be going much better. That is
until they get much, much worse. In the classic tradition of Jim
Thompson and Patricia Highsmith, Hard Feelings is a gripping,
original novel of paranoia, obsession, and revenge.

Mickey Prada is a nice kid. Perhaps too nice. He works in a
neighbourhood seafood market in Brooklyn putting fish on ice. He's
got a nice girlfriend. He even delayed college a year, to look
after his sick dad who's gradually losing his marbles and has a
tendency to go walkabout. But Mickey's got a little problem. A
customer at the fish store, Angelo Santoro, keeps asking Mickey to
place bets for him and Angelo keeps losing. As Angelo gets further
in the hole, his bad luck is turning out to be Mickey's too. Now
Mickey's got his bookie after him and Angelo's showing him the butt
of his pistol rather than paying him back. So when his best friend,
Chris, asks Mickey to join him on a can't-lose caper, Mickey
decides to go along. But, sure-fire schemes often have a way of
backfiring, and this one is sending Mickey into an uncharted part
of Brooklyn, where fish like Chris and Mickey have trouble...
