Felonious Means - Out Now!

"When somebody lays Faust out in front of you, you have to take it!"

Alex Garibaldi is the kind of guy Cass and Artie can't stand. He's an unrepentant robber baron, coked up on self-importance, and used to everyone around him following his commands to the letter.

A rash of quiet quitting leads him to hire Cass and Artie to uncover the spiritual dimension of his employees' dissatisfaction. At least that's what the invoice says. What's more, he won't take "no" for an answer, insisting the unorthodox detectives have special skills that will prove indispensable as the mystery unfolds.

But when Cass and Artie start interviewing employees, they quickly discover that aside from merely extorting them, Garibaldi wants to hide critical facts about the case. Facts that point to a plot to install himself as the sole arbiter of access to a weapon of mass destruction...



The Hollow Oak

Cass and Artie are back. This time, they've been hired to investigate a local UFO cult.

After foiling a private/public-sector conspiracy on their first outing, Cass and Artie have hit a dry spell. The only cases coming across their inbox boil down to busting cheating spouses or chasing ghosts. That is, until they find Rebecca Lin, whose daughter Jessica has been kidnapped by a local cult. Now, they must infiltrate the cult's compound, avoid getting brainwashed somehow, and bring Jessica back. But for Cass, taking down the cult is personal...

No promises here, but I'd expect to see:

  • irresponsible (albeit funny) drug use
  • a Mantid plot to evolve humankind to the Next Level
  • Freemasons and the CIA
  • big time apocalyptic vibes
  • new, deranged characters
  • NLP and hypnosis
  • demon summoning from the Lesser Key of Solomon
  • pathological distrust of anyone in authority
  • even a few laughs along the way!
