Dark Sunset by Peter McGarvey

Cruelty, blackmail, abuse, murder …
in Sunset, old crimes never die.

Although the pretty little town of Sunset, Michigan, is called paradise by tourists, growing up as the daughter of a crackpot religious fanatic, Molly Parson’s childhood there was hell. When she finally escapes Sunset, Molly swears she will never return.

But after stumbling into a job as a bounty hunter tracking down lowlifes on the mean streets of Detroit, a case brings Molly back to her hometown where she unexpectedly meets the man of her dreams and takes on a new career as a detective in the Sunset Police Department.

Crippled by grief over her husband’s death and haunted by terrifying visions, Molly is searching for redemption. Instead, she finds herself swept into a maelstrom of deceit, murder, and madness.

“McGarvey’s first novel is a near-perfect fusion of character and setting. It’s a real page turner … Molly Parsons is a beguiling character who fully deserves to be the star of a long, successful series of return engagements.”
~ Don Hutchison, author of The Great Pulp Heroes

Bloody Sunset by Peter McGarvey

Detective Molly Parsons discovers a holiday weekend is anything but relaxing …

After barely surviving her last case, Molly is looking forward to nothing more than kicking back and enjoying the Independence Day weekend.

Unfortunately, a murderer has other plans.

Howard Lane was a cheat and an embezzler, but that doesn’t mean he deserves to be chopped up with a meat cleaver. At least Molly doesn’t think so.

Along with a homicide to solve, Molly is also babysitting Wall Street’s most notorious fraud artist. What she doesn’t know is that he’s being stalked by the Grim Assassins, a righteous trio of self-styled avengers of crimes against the economy who will stop at nothing to reap their vengeance.

As if life isn’t complicated enough, Molly finds herself attracted to a charming federal agent with secrets of his own.

Fireworks, gun play, and murder guarantee this Fourth of July in Sunset will be a memorable one.

Hair Trigger by Peter McGarvey

Hair Trigger by Peter McGarvey

Peace, love, and understanding don’t appear in the lexicon of professional killers Rip Hunter and his partner Wilma. They have their own set of rules. It’s what’s made them successful for the past fifteen years and, more importantly, what’s kept them alive.

  • Never use the same gun twice.
  • Always get half the money upfront.
  • Never use real names.
  • Always be neat and discrete.

But times are tough in Detroit, especially in the murder for hire business. So when Rip breaks one of their cardinal rules, it sets off a cascade of calamity and they find themselves on the run from killers more ruthless than they are.

“Rip and Wilma are Detroit — soulless, cold, desperate, and mean, but not without a certain charm.”
~ John Wooley, author of Wes Craven:
The Man and His Nightmares

“Hair Trigger is a fast-paced, tightly plotted noir set in the mean streets of today’s Detroit. It features a likeable “hero” who just happens to be a stone cold killer with a winning sense of humor. He could well be a successor to Donald E. Westlake’s wonderfully amoral super crook, Parker.”

Get ready for more Motor City mayhem as Detroit’s most outrageous contract killers return for another nasty and hilarious caper.

When Rip and Wilma are hired to find the killer of a state senator, the job should be easy—especially since they’re the ones who killed him in the first place!  But with every step they take, the pursuit becomes more complicated until they find themselves embroiled with a shadowy organization that’s the most dangerous adversary they’ve ever faced.

Double Tap takes Rip and Wilma from Motown to the Swiss Alps, and from a maximum-security prison into the eye of a raging hurricane. Along the way they dodge badass bikers, crooked cops, killer lumberjacks, satanic cults, and horny rhinos.

“… bizarre, adrenaline-charged entertainment …”
