Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Summer of '84 was Murder.She had a heart like a race horse. She was the star player on a mediocre team. She was fifteen years old. It took her forty-five minutes to die.April 4th, 1984. Fidelis, CA- Star volleyball player Sarah Luger is stabbed to death on her front doorstep coming home from a party. After the biggest manhunt in Aurora county history, Det Lt. Charles Sariano is called in to investigate, and finds that in Fidelis, nothing is what it seems. Police describe the scene as .grisly beyond description. Fidelis, where the kids go to Ivy League schools and PAC-10 Universities, where the pressure to succeed is overwhelming, where status is everything, is turned upside down. No kid kills and keeps it a secret. Fidelis calls on Det. Lt. Charles Sariano, famed for capturing the Capricorn Killer fifteen years earlier. Instead of profiling Sarah's killer, Sariano and his team, (who have a few secrets of their own) profile Sarah, and uncover a landline filled childhood cut short one fateful night.Sarah Luger is a gripping murder mystery, a coming of age story, and also a profoundly moving story of a town full of secrets where it can't happen here.The revolving flashbacks add a layer of psychological intrigue that increasingly ratchet up the dramatic tension, mounting, at last, to a surprising conclusion.I would recommend it to any fan of hardboiled noir fiction. - Broken Pencil magazineSarah Luger author Sebastian Corbascio takes readers inside the minds of the characters in this tightly plotted, un-put-down-able old fashioned murder mystery. Read this late at night at your own risk, you may not go to sleep as soon as you like. - Joel Selvin. San Francisco Chronicle Rock Critic, and author of Altamont: The Rolling Stones, The Hell's Angels, and the Inside Story of Rock's Darkest Day. .filled with hard-boiled cops, tough-talking suspects, quirky dialogue, multiple red herrings, and even a few surprises that seasoned genre readers won't see coming.-from Morbidly Beautiful review.Sebastian Corbascio's 2018 murder-mystery novel Sarah Luger could easily have slipped into Dead Girl territory. On a paratextual level, the book possesses a clear warning sign. The cover features the motionless visage of a beautiful young woman: her skin is milky white; her pink lips, though immobile, are almost smiling. Yet, despite this superficial evocation of beautiful Dead Girls such as Twin Peaks' Laura Palmer or John Everett Millais's Ophelia, the eponymous Sarah Luger is no mere cadaver, a posthumous mystery to be solved. Instead, Sarah emerges as a fascinating character in her own right. The novel which bears her name may center on the attempts of male detectives to unravel Sarah's murder, but as the story progresses, it is Sarah herself who most ardently commands our attention. No mere idealized, tragic beauty, Sarah Luger is revealed as a complex, multifaceted and often deeply unpleasant character. It is this nuance that elevates Corbascio's novel above many standard modern mysteries. While the detectives who investigate Sarah's shocking murder and the suspects they interrogate are all intriguing characters, it is Sarah herself who, through a series of flashbacks and recollections, comes to dominate the novel. Unlike Bolin's typical Dead Girl, Sarah is not just a memory. She is a character who, despite her early death, grows and develops over the course of the novel. Moreover, Sarah is allowed to be an unlikeable character, possessing a level of moral ambiguity rarely afforded to women in fiction. -Prof Miranada Corcoran, Cork University.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Shooting Genji is a noir riff on the Japanese classic, The Tale of Genji, set in the U.S. during Prohibition and the Great Crash. The story's narrator, Jean-Yves LeFouet, is a book-lover who is almost blinded at age 16, when he falls from a ladder dusting books. He is changed and his eyes never recover. With daylight too bright and nighttime never too dark, he becomes perfectly suited for a multitude of shady careers. No one sees back roads at midnight as well, and a few years later he takes up driving at night for whiskey smugglers. The leader of the gang, Big Department, is reputed to be a gargantuan British thug. When Big Department decides to go legit and make money the easy way (i.e., on Wall Street), his henchman, a laconic assassin named Poochie, recommends Jean-Yves to the broker helping him invest his profits. Jean-Yves begins driving evenings for Aldo Pennebeck, a bon vivant who specializes in front running his own clients' orders. In 1928, the Wall Street broker life seems awfully sweet. Money is flowing, and thanks to Aldo's taste for entertaining, Jean-Yves meets a beautiful Swedish dancer named Eva-Marie Fachsi. Love seems grand as they tentatively nibble at the Big Apple. But Fachsi decides to leave New York anyway, aspiring to bigger things in Hollywood. Then October 1929 arrives and the stock market does a swan dive off a cliff. The gang isn't happy. They drop in, grab Aldo, and throw him out his 18th-story office window. The papers call it suicide. Luckily for Jean-Yves, the thugs don't get their hands on him and he flees with his cat in Aldo's Duesenberg. This will not be the last we see of these gangsters. More a romantic than a crook, Jean-Yves motors West in hopes of finding Fachsi. When he arrives in L.A., he sees Eva-Marie Fachsi listed in the phone book, but his call doesn't go through. The number is disconnected. He stays in L.A. anyway and finds work chauffeuring at night for a producer named Charles Granyer. Granyer is filming an epic, erotic version of the 11th-century Japanese novel, The Tale of Genji. Jean-Yves drives Granyer and his friends around L.A. after dark, from one speakeasy to another. By the end of these evenings, his services are invaluable. His night vision also recommends him to work as Granyer's caddy, finding his boss's errant golf shots when night is falling and the bets are on. Recognizing talent when he sees it, Granyer even has him help with some dead-of-night sake smuggling. One day, Granyer directs him to pick up copies of The Tale of Genji at a bookshop in L.A.'s Little Tokio and deliver them to a dozen investors and aspiring actors. Something magical happens. He meets a literate, cultured young woman named Ariane. She and her grandmother own The Dragon and The Lotus, the dark, peaceful bookshop where Granyer gets his source material. Jean-Yves is smitten. Every time he visits, he leaves loaded with books and intoxicated by the charming bookseller. He starts reading The Tale of Genji in the subdued, quiet hours before dawn. Later Ariane sells him a rare book of Japanese woodblock prints that he imagines using in the film of Genji. He and Ariane begin playfully exchanging haiku. An elderly film pro from Shanghai named Joe runs Granyer's film lab. Jean-Yves begins working part-time in his darkroom, processing the dailies from the Genji shoot. Big Department pays a surprise visit to Granyer. Hard on this disaster, Granyer's lawyer calls to enlist Jean-Yves' help in another matter. Granyer's in custody, arrested the night before, after a young woman died at one of his parties. Jean-Yves tries to raise bail. He organizes a screening of Genji for potential buyers. After the premiere, some tough customer informs Jean-Yves that filming erotica in L.A. is off-limits. The stranger says he controls that market. He'll buy the rights to Genji on the cheap but warns him to cease and desist. The tale couldn't get more noir. Voorhees, Stephen Spillers; Voorhees, Sebastian (illustrator).…
