Ovid Demaris Libri

This historical look at terrorism seems almost tame by comparison with today's reality.

The second action-packed, hard-boiled Vince Slader PI novel "When Freddie Sharpe starts to sing a million teenagers get sent the facts of life. Special delivery..." Ex-cop turned PI Vince Slader is hired to protect Freddie Sharpe, an obscenely rich, obscenely arrogant, obscenely talented, and obscenely obscene big name singer... who moves through the sin-filled mansions, back alleys, bars, clubs and studios of Tinseltown with an entourage of hangers-on and sycophants, any one of whom could be homicidally jealous of their not-so-benevolent benefactor. "Demaris saturates the prose with gunplay, fast cars and sexy women. The criminals are edgy, but the hero is a valid, uncompromising tough guy who serves as the perfect crime combatant." The Paperback Warrior "Demaris is a writer of real talent...as good as pulp fiction gets." NB Magazine UK "Whoever said crime doesn't pay has never spoken to Ovid Demaris." New York Times
