Crooked Little Vein
Mystery · Literary Fiction · Sci-Fi · Thriller
Our take
Warren Ellis’s Crooked Little Vein is a filthy, fearless noir that blends Chandler’s grit with Palahniuk’s grotesque humor. With 4.2 out of 5 stars on Amazon, this cult classic follows burned-out PI Michael McGill as he’s hired to recover the secret U.S. Constitution, dragging him through America’s depraved underworld. Dark, satirical, and wickedly funny, it’s not for the faint of heart.

About the book
"May be destined to become one of the great underground classics of the twenty-first century." —Lansing State Journal
Burned-out private dick Michael McGill needs to jump-start his career. What he gets instead is a cattle prod to the crotch. The president's heroin-addicted chief of staff wants McGill to find the Constitution—the real one the Founding Fathers secretly devised for the time of gravest crisis. And with God, civility, and Mom's homemade apple pie already dead or dying, that time is now. But McGill has a talent for stumbling into every imaginable depravity—and this case is driving him even deeper into America's darkest, dankest underbelly, toward obscenities that boggle even his mind.
"Combines the noir sensibilities of Raymond Chandler with the grotesqueness of Chuck Palahniuk's infamous short story 'Guts' and the acerbic social commentary of William S. Burroughs's Naked Lunch." —Chicago Tribune
"Laugh-out-loud funny . . . a deeply inventive look at the undercurrents beneath the mainstream popular culture." —Charlotte Observer
"Not for the faint of heart." —Entertainment Weekly

About the book
For a woman obsessed and a killer in her shadow, remembering the past becomes a mind game in a novel of psychological suspense by New York Times bestselling author Mary Burton.
Twin sisters Marisa and Clare Stockton were sixteen when Clare’s body was found in Virginia’s James River. No arrests were made. Fourteen years later, Marisa’s friends and dedicated career as a photographer help her to cope with the open wound of the past. But Marisa still feels the hurt—and the unsolved murder isn’t the only thing haunting her.
A recent car crash has erased ten days of Marisa’s memories—a black hole leading up to the accident that’s left her disoriented. Every text and phone call from that crucial missing time has vanished, along with her phone. A photograph she took of the river has disappeared. A new neighbor Marisa believes she knows introduces himself as if he were a stranger. And there’s the growing fear that her near-fatal accident was no accident at all. As dreams of Clare and nightmares of the crash begin to converge, so do two disturbing puzzles fourteen years apart.
Putting the pieces together could be fatal. As she struggles to remember everything, Marisa closes in on a killer—without realizing that he’s already closed in on her.

About the book
Stockholm, 1793. A mutilated corpse rises from the rancid waters of the Larder, a grotesque puzzle that could unravel the city itself. With the monarchy collapsing and whispers of conspiracy everywhere, the investigation falls to Cecil Winge, a brilliant lawyer whose health is failing, and Mikel Cardell, a cynical watchman drowning his past in drink.
Together, they descend into Stockholm’s underworld: thieves’ dens, brothels, workhouses, and palaces alike, where corruption festers behind every door. Each clue peels back another layer of the city’s rot, revealing lives destroyed by greed, cruelty, and desperation.
Time is running out—for Winge’s body, for Cardell’s soul, and for justice itself. This is no simple murder. It is Stockholm laid bare, in all its blood, brilliance, and ruin.
